Friends,
I invite you to join us Sunday, August 10th at 10 am for a very special August Full Moon Ceremony at the Blue Lotus studio. We will have our usual meditation with reiki as well as a special shamanic journey where you will visit your guides who will help you to release any blocks or intrusions you may be carrying right now. This ceremony will be dynamically charged by the power of the full moon and the Lion's Gate healing portal.
The Lion's Gate Portal is an auspicious time of year when the star Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, slips into alignment with the sun, Orion's Belt, and the earth. Lot's of good celestial energy to tap into during Lion's Gate. This is all about letting go of limiting beliefs and stepping into our power and the abundant energy of the season. Here's an article with more information.
While I am, admittedly, not the most faithful of astrological adherents, I do have a healthy respect for the zodiac and celestial energies. I see auspicious events (such as the Lion's Gate, Guru Purnima, the Solstices and the Equinoxes, the Full and New moons) as the spiritual version of Black Friday. Why not get an (easier) deal at the right time? It's a great excuse for me to do my inner work (plenty to do there) because I get a little extra boost from the universe.
During these occasions, the veil separating us from spirit is not so dense. It is easier for us to see our blocks, see our issues, see our "stuff", and to do something about it. When we decide to release or let go of the limiting ideas or energies that have been quietly (or sometimes loudly) running our lives, we change for the better. We grow stronger, more confident, more resilient. Sometimes the change comes fast, like a Cheetah. Sometimes Turtle comes forward and tells you this will be a slow, ongoing evolution. I've been sitting with Turtle medicine recently. Slow and steady, friends. : )
Remember: when you let go of outdated patterns, you create space in your inner world (mental, emotional, spiritual) to step into new patterns, new habits, new thoughts. You may find yourself becoming more disciplined; more focused. You may find that it's not so hard to set those boundaries with that challenging friend, colleague, or family member because you just have greater respect for your own needs. Or maybe you simply enter a new mental space filled with greater peace and contentment and less anger or frustration towards those around you.
Not only do you benefit from this work, but all of those souls that are in your life will see, sense and feel this new version of you, too. Every thought carries a vibration. And your new, positive thoughts will gently ripple over all of those who are in your life. And trust that there are those who may be unwilling to vibe with you on your new level...and that's okay. Wish them well!
When we do our inner work, we get to pat ourselves on the back for making the effort. And guess what...the universe is patting you on the back, too. : )
In divine friendship,
-John
