Blue Moon

The energy of the blue moon, August 30th, 9:35pm (EST), is a beautiful opportunity for healing. What are you ready to intentionally heal and release?

Suggestions for working with this energy:

1) Set a clear intention, infuse your intention with love and self-compassion. 2) Pull cards, as many or as few as you feel guided. Use your intuition to interpret the meanings for yourself.

3) Journal, and let it flow, create openness and receptivity to connecting to your deepest wisdom.

4) Last but not least, focus on the flow of your breath.

Your intention lays the groundwork for your healing. The cards will reflect what is happening within you now, bringing something to light for your attention and contemplation. Journaling will expand your insights, providing further clarity. Conscious breathing brings on relaxation, creates openness, and is a gentle experience of flow. It reminds us that when we connect with our breath, we attract and accept the natural flow of life to move through us, to assist us in creating with greater ease.

This past Sunday, I pulled the Breathe card from the Ascension Deck for the message for the week. A lovely support to the energy of this Super Moon. Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? When we hold our breath, we are focused on a fear in the mind which creates resistance within the body. If we are paying attention when this happens, we will feel our tension, observe that we are not open, allowing, nor trusting the flow of life to move through us and our experiences.

Our power is our attention within the present moment. If we are not present, we are on auto pilot. Truth, connection and creation are not available to us. We are distracted by something we are seeing outside of ourselves or stuck in our mind, in a loop, replaying past stories or projecting fears forward and we end up creating by default.

I invite you to pay closer attention to your breath, check in thoughout each day. Is your breathing shallow, are you holding your breath, are you in a natural rhythm of flow, what is on your mind, how is your body responding? If you find your are feeling tense, breathe slowly and intentionally. Slowing our breathe tells our mind and body we are safe and brings awareness to the present moment.

I breathe therefore I prosper.

I love this quote. When it popped up on my phone recently, it brought me immediate ease. Allow your breath to show you the way. In and out. Flow. Giving and receiving. It is the flow of life and it will guide the way to that which you intend to create. It is where life begins and ends and the creating of everything in-between. Breathe and trust the flow of your breath within life.

I have met so many wonderful people along the way! I still hear from customers who have these early decks!

Allowing, though uncertainty creates...

I pulled this card on Friday personally and Sunday as the card for the week collectively. I love when this happens because the cards that repeat get my extra attention. Like the deck is saying, "not so fast, dig into this one a little more!" And I did. I reflected on areas of my life that I am feeling a bit stuck or frustrated with and considered, what am I not allowing right now, what am I trying to control? What is holding me back? Where am I experiencing resistance from within myself, which is showing me I am not allowing because I am trying to steer an outcome?

This is often how I read this card, not being open to flow and that is usually what it reflects to me. But as I said above, pulling it twice within three days, I had to go a step further. So I flipped the script and what came to mind was the question, what have I been allowing that is no longer serving me or perhaps has been serving me in a way that is not enhancing my journey, but keeping me stuck in a place of comfort (which is ultimately uncomfortable)? What have I been in agreement with, thus allowing to continue? I discovered, I continue to hold myself back because taking big steps is too scary and uncertain. I may not like it, but I am use to it, and the known and expected can get comfortable. So for me, both of the views on this card applied in big ways to the same issue. Digging in and bringing both aspects to my awareness has since the weekend shifted my energy and my week. I feel more openness, inner freedom, flow, and an internal shift.

Allowing is something we could be remind to do almost daily. When we bump up against resistance and frustration we can ask ourselves the following:

• What am I not allowing that would benefit my life and expansion right now?

• Why am I not more open to this right now?

• What am I afraid of?

• What might I be continuing to allow that is keeping me stuck or stagnant in a space that is not challenging me in positive ways?

• Is it more comfortable to stay with the known than to be open to the mystery (another card I pulled in the mix) and even possible magic that could lie within the unknown?

Throughout the next few days and weeks, observe your reactions and responses. Are you open and allowing or trying to control and/or resisting the flow of changes, shifts, opportunities that present themselves? Allowing may bring up feelings of uncertainty but it it creates the freedom, magic and often the outcomes we desire.
