In case you didn’t notice things are very intense right now. There are so many influences converging upon us:
Death, suicide and fear of death
Politics, politics, politics
Depression and anxiety
Financial pressures
War
Weather
Lots of major things to pull our attention.
It’s a new year. That always brings up a lot.
AND on top of all this, there is a real intensity for people to let go of the blocks to Love. Our opinions, judgments, fears and worries are the blocks to Love. Now IS the appointed time for releasing.
Today starts is a full moon. Which is GREAT! It’s great because full moon is a time of release and harvest. Release that which no longer serves you and harvest the wisdom of your learning.
So, let’s take advantage of the full moon and release the things we do not wish to bring into this new year with us, and let’s harvest the benefits of what we learned from our experiences last year.
This full moon time is also challenging because the moon has a STRONG effect on folks, bringing up the patterns that no longer serve us so they can be released. AND this particular full moon, called the Wolf Moon, is considered to be extra, extra emotional. (Deep breaths now)
If you noticed this past month was SUPER intense, you were right! If you noticed you were holding onto old pain patterns that were coming up for healing and the pain was pushing you, then please know nothing’s wrong with you – it’s the way things are when we’re actively praying for healing, but still resisting.
Instead of hanging onto all that stuff, we can look for ways to be helpful. It’s a lot more rewarding, fun and fruitful to be of service to ourselves and others.
It’s very important for all of us to know now that acting out of resentment, playing mind games, pretending, and living in denial – we’ve all done so much of it, we’ve learned all we can. So, until we let it go, it’s just going to get more and more difficult. We let it go by forgiving ourselves for having invested so much energy in it in the first place.
Total surrender really is the way to go. We’re all ultimately going to surrender every last opinion, judgment, regret, resentment, jealousy, hurt, worry, doubt, shame and blame eventually, so why not let it all go now? Why wait?
We’re living in the time of instant karma. We’ve asked for assistance to let go of all the things we hurt ourselves with. The intensity of density that people are feeling is the constant reminder to choose heaven instead. It might feel really hard, but it’s actually so simple – but it does require a leap of faith, and that’s not something the ego will ever agree to, so you align with Spirit, make the leap and remember to laugh.
Despite of how it looks and feels, everything is aligning for us to feel more supported, held and carried in our spiritual awakening this year.
Of course, if you’re experiencing a lot of resistance and reluctance to shift and change, you will definitely be feeling an intense amount of pressure to give up what no longer serves.
What we don’t surrender with grace, sometimes gets taken from us. Ouch.
To relieve the pressure, release the attachment to your perspective and your belief. We don’t have to give up what we love, we only have to give up the attachment to it – attachments are beliefs of needing, wanting, craving and even aversions.
Whether we like it or not, there’s no way around it, now is the time for us to give up what doesn’t serve and to get with the awakening program. If we’re not actively, and gratefully, accepting it, it will feel like an energetic pressure, pushing and prodding us. Fortunately, the blocks to Love don’t help us, so we can immediately begin to feel so much tangible benefit when we release them to Spirit for lifting and shifting.
If you’re feeling called to release things in the world of form, remember, the main thing we have to do is release the attachment (belief) to people, places and things. Once we release the attachment then things can naturally align in the most loving way.
I thought I’d share with you a really simple and, for me, powerful and healing ceremony you can do on your own or with friends. Do it today or tomorrow while we’re still in this full moon energy, before mid-Sunday afternoon eastern time if possible.
Let’s ride the new year energy of new beginnings and combine it with the full moon energy of releasing the past.
Full moon represents the time to harvest the learning we’ve had and be grateful for it. We can always harvest the learning we’ve rejected any time of year.
Anything we’ve been holding in resentment, regret, hurt, blame or shame can be brought to a harvest of the learning through our willingness. It may seem crazy, but the mental/emotional shift that turns the tide of upset is to be grateful for things as they are. Our gratitude raises our vibration so that we can see, hear, feel and know more clearly the learning and benefit that’s encoded into every single thing in our lives.
Let this be a time of harvest! When we’re actively harvesting the learning from our experiences then we don’t have to repeat them! It’s just like when we learn how to do anything, we don’t have to keep repeating it once you get it. When we keep having the same repeat experiences then it’s a sure sign we’re rejecting the learning and believing that the meaning we’ve made of things – our interpretations – are correct.
If we’re still upset about something that happened, we’re not correct. The upset is the Divine Alarm Clock going off to let us know that our thinking is incorrect and can be corrected. It’s that old “would you rather be right or happy?” It’s your life, you choose.
Full moon is also for releasing what is no longer desired and what no longer serves.
Release the blocks to Love to harvest the wisdom as more Love flows in your life. To me this is about purification. It’s about celebrating that I can let go of the burdens, the negative patterns and suffering of the past.
We can put an end to our own personal crucifixion and begin our resurrection!
It’s been too cloudy for me to see the moon here in Vermont, but I’m hoping I can see it tonite!
Full moon is a fun time to have a ceremony, and we could use some FUN! Just because it’s hell for some people right now, doesn’t mean we cannot have fun if we’re not in hell.
Right now, when so much changing is going on – a ceremony can be something helpful to shift the energy and welcome the healing changes! The full moon is now, so today or tomorrow, gather loved ones, friends and family to make it a Harvest & Release celebration!
I always begin with being clear about my intention and WHY I’m doing what I’m doing.
I appreciate starting with setting of intention.
I intend to release what doesn’t serve me and harvest the wisdom I’ve been blocking.
Light a white candle
Have a glass of water.
You can consecrate your space with offerings of smudge and prayer.
It’s powerful to write out what no longer serves and is being released. If you have friends with you, you may wish to share what you’ve written specifically or generally. No pressure on that. Make it a safe space.
It’s nice to have a fire to place the offerings of what you’ve written in – a fire puja is always lovely – offering prayers to the fire as well as any writing – release it all! You can do that in a backyard fire pit, fireplace or a burning bowl. I love that part!
Open your heart to what you’d like to call into your life. Set your intention for expansion and clarity, purity and joy – what you’d like to experience this season! I always focus on how I’d like to feel and am careful not to get attached to how things show up in form. Focus on what the feeling you’d like to have more of.
More prayer, chanting, dancing, having a meal – these are all wonderful. Dance to celebrate your willingness to have a healing! May your release be complete and your heart be cleared for lift-off in the Light!
Release the patterns of pain, the attachments to suffering, and feelings of victimhood – that’s a lot to celebrate! Woo hoo!
The latest episode of my podcast’s topic is Resolutions Fail. I share some of the key principles in ACIM that have helped me, and many others, to change our thinking and transform our lives.
Traveling this path of Love together we let go of the painful past and release the compulsive fearful thinking – so many in this Power of Love community are proving it’s possible even when they thought it wasn’t. Dissolving difficult thought patterns is the kind of work we do in my Masterful Living Program.
What could you do or accomplish in the coming year that would be more valuable than letting go of the root causes of fear, pain and all suffering? Why wait? Why delay? You will choose it eventually.
People who do this work with us in the Masterful Living Program are often amazed at how their bodies heal and their families heal, and for some it improves their finances in the most unexpected and remarkable ways. It’s deeply healing to us individually and to those around us, because we share the same mind.
If people didn’t prove it all the time in Masterful Living, we could never believe that the practical application of these principles would heal their marriage, their arthritis, or their body so they’re no longer spending thousands on medications and treatments. Who would imagine that surgeries would no longer be needed or that their income would double, triple, quadruple without doing anything different to improve their business?
Once people prove that changing their mind heals their life and body, they get excited for what else might be possible.
So many relationships are healed, families mended and transformed for the participants of Masterful Living. Come join us this coming year!
If you feel called to join us, follow your intuition. You can book an Exploratory Call with one of the spiritual counselors to discuss any questions you have about Masterful Living and that’s a free call!
