March Full Moon Musings

 

Moon Musing ~ Full Moon Wednesday 27th March

 

 

I know it's a full moon tonight - loads of people told me so!

 

But I have not been paying attention to her to know this for myself.

 

I know she if full tonight but I cannot see her.

 

How is it I forget to seek her out for myself? Why is it I forgot to commune with her?

 

What is she to me?

 

When she is full she is bursting with life

~ energised with creative female juices ~

 

She is at her peak

~ all the manifesting has made her full ~

 

What gifts does she show us at this time?

 

Well I guess that all depends on where she is in the night sky ~ and ~ the emotions of the horde below her feet.

 

But from wherever and why, she comes bearing gifts and it is up to us to explore and dream into her.

 

 

Her full belly glowing over us as she rides her way across the sky

 

at the time she is ripe she showers us with her love

piercing through the shadows to show us a light to guide our way

 

 

If only I would commune with her more...

 

this mysterious beacon in an otherwise dark night

reminds me of where I gleam courage

to hold fast during her dark times

 

never far away she encompasses us with her ever watchful eye reminding us

that even on the darkest nights there is always light somewhere, and that it too shall pass

 

 

Would she remember me?

To me, she would...

 

she would welcome me home and I would bask in her wisdom of the night

 

What would it be like to remember her?

What do I feel now?

 

I found her, up in the night sky, so full, so round

glowing with light

 

she knows your dark nights of the soul, but does not judge

 

if you listen very carefully you can 'see' her energy radiating on all living things

 

she is the precursor to dawn

 

she knows not of life or death for she is at one with the universe

 

dark shadow of the night softens in her glow

 

and even though the sun can shine so brightly she is blind to us ~ she is still there

letting us know we are both

 

for she quietly does without the glare or spotlight, doing the dance to hold us together

 

and soon her fullness will give way for the time of waning

but that is another story

for tonight we get to embrace her fullness

 

and some may argue that you, our moon, are only bright because of the reflection of the sun ~

but what if...

but what say you were a different moon with different energies, would you still shine like you do?

 

no - I think not

you are meant to be our moon cause no other moon can do what you do best

~ be our moon ~

 

so with thoughts of our moon i sink deep into mother's arms and sleep.

March Continued

March continued...
​

Also in March we had a powerful new moon, Mercury was retrograde, many planets were gathered in Pisces, the Autumn Equinox and strong solar flares... all leaving their mark energetically upon our human pysche.

​

Those on a spiritual path would have felt these waves in one way, shape or form and some left frustrated as to what was bought up yet again for integration.

​

This journey of life is both complex and simple at the same time.

​

What makes it complex is our minds, what makes it simple is our hearts.

​

While the minds are something to marvel at, for they really are powerful and it is through our minds that we actually perceive our world around us but let us remember that it is through our hearts that we actually have the capacity to really live.

​

Through our capability to love we begin to feel and perceive life on a more intimate, compassionate and even vulnerable level.

​

There is no right or wrong way, there is no better or worse for those are perceptions of the mind. There only just 'is'.

​

Look beyond the mind as the mind is limited by its sheer nature and start perceiving your world through the lens of your heart. For this is where beauty lies, this is where freedom reigns, this is where love resides and where truth speaks openly.

​

From my heart to yours, blessing on the tide to you.

March 2013

It seems each month I go WOW... so I am just going to say that each month brings it own rewards and healing each and every time and this month is no exception.

​

I realised last night that my journey through this month has been a bit like what our kitchen has been through.

​

During this month our kitchen was gutted... totally gone... and we were left with nothing. For all appearances sake the kitchen looked perfect, it was warm and inviting ~ but behind the exterior the cupboards had been mended many times, drawers and doors were beginning now to be beyond repairing and it was time, age was taking it's toll and even the plumbing was starting to go. It is not until weeks later that I recognise now that I, myself, was a bit like that ~ for all appearances sake I was looking healthy, I sounded healthy, I felt warm and inviting but little did I know that behind all this I was in need of physcial healing, deeper self-awareness, clearing of negative beliefs and a re-structuring that would bring more of my spirit into my consciousness.

​

So as spirit would have it, at the same time of our kitchen make-over, I started an epic journey of detoxing and healing my body ~ at the time I had no idea what such a journey would entail and it did very much leave me feeling 'gutted', releasing so many toxins from my body, mind and soul.

​

Not all things were thrown out from the kitchen though, some things were kept to be placed back within their new shells... bit like me as well, not all things had to be released, I was able to keep the bits that have serve me well and work just fine no matter how old they are.

​

Then with the help of tradesmen, slowly the kitchen is being rebuilt and like our kitchen, at times I felt totally emptied with no idea when or how I was ever going to fill and become healthy, healed and whole. But spirit works in the most wonderful of ways and bought to my world gifts to help me heal. So help arrived in the form of love, friends, peers, books and many journeys into self. Now my body, mind and soul is being rebuilt, recalibrated and rejoiced.

Lughnasadh 1st February

Lughnasadh​​

1st February (southern hemisphere)​​​​​​​​​​​

 

Lughnasadh (pronounced ‘loo-hus-uh’) means ‘the commemoration of Lugh’ and marks the start of harvesting.

It is a time of joy, but also a time to begin preparing for the Autumn. It is now that we begin to reap what we have sown. It is now that we begin to understand the wisdom of careful preparation, and the sowing of good seeds in our lives and the lives of others.

At the time of Lughnasadh is the beginning of reaping – of basking in the height of summer, and yet of understanding that Autumn will be here soon and with it darker nights and colder days. So whilst it is a time of rejoicing, it is also time for preparing.

Since this is a time of beginning and an awareness that Summer is ending, you may like to spend some time acknowledging this turning point of the year… where by letting go (harvesting) we receive (reaping)…

Some suggestions to acknowledge this ceremony:

· Bake a banana loaf

· Write a gratitude list and a wish list

· Have a hair cut
· Invite friends over for dinner

· Dance or do a movement meditation – visualise you are in corn or wheat field, moving as one with the corn or wheat.

February 2013

Time again for reflection and what came through during February...​

​

Do not give up now ~ hang on

Do not stray now ~ stay focused

Do not wallow now ~ have hope

Do not self-pity now ~ have courage​

​

For too long you have allowed your mind

to dwell and lead you down a dark path ~

this is not truth but fear.​

​

In your heart you do know truth,

but you have been too afraid to dwell there and allow that to lead you.​

​

Time now to let the fear and judgements go,

let your heart guide you ~

for your heart does see and seek out truths.​

​

Your heart is golden

Your heart is pure

Your heart is the strength and courage

you have been seeking

and it lies with YOU.​

​

YOU are all you have ever needed.​

​

And the time is now to show and share YOU to the world.​

​

For NOW is all you will ever have.​​

​

Much love now,

Meredith
