Divine Timing - Scorpio Full Moon 0 comments

8 May 2009 @ 15:12 Powerful, Passionate Women for Peace, Full Moon Blessings! A flower does not open before it is ready…. Today as I was looking outside my bathroom window watching the rain pour down I noticed that the tulips in the front garden were tightly closed. A voice inside my head said, “a flower does not open before it is ready. It knows deep within itself the precise moment in which it will bloom. This is also true for you as well. You must trust the universal process”. This was the exact message that I needed to receive today. For I have been going through so many changes and felt that I must take action or else something (what I do not know) is going to happen. It’s like a deep anxiety I feel and if I don’t hurry up and make a decision-- than something is going to happen. Ever feel this? In these moments of great change not only in our own lives but in the world around us I believe we feel that to take action is part of the soul-ution. This has always been the conditioned response to change. Take action – some action to get things moving. However, what I am coming to understand at a deeper level is– that non-action is action because unless we are truly in alignment with body, mind, soul and spirit acting in harmonious union we may be acting from a place of fear and not at all in aligment with source energy -- divine timing. The image today really impacted as the best soul-ution in the mist of change is to remember the flowers that are not yet blooming but are in the process – and waiting for the perfect moment when everything is in divine alignment. If you are like me, many things are changing – there is a sense of urgency on some things and other things seem to be put on the back burner. This sense of urgency is a reminder not a demand – and as we breathe into our wisdom we will recognize that we are in the process of change and when the decision to move forward and take action is right it will be in perfect alignment with everything around it. This is what we can trust and this is what we pray for the wisdom to be in alignment with. This process is preparing us to move forward. To respond not react and to allow things to unfold in divine right order for everything has the perfect moment. God give me the serenity to accept the things I can not change To change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference. There is that perfect moment and in that all else will unfold as it aligns with the will of our soul and the good that is always waiting for us. In this full moon in Scorpio - I invite you to call forth that wisdom. That wisdom that lies deep within the core of your soul - and to trust it. It is for you and will guide you. In changing times we need this wisdom so that we come from a new place of love instead of the old pattern of fear and powerlessness. We are moving from our primodial thinking to evolved consciousness and so the fight and flight energy that we use to be hooked into no longer serves the path ahead. Think of the flowers....are you in the process of opening, awakening, manifesting change and waiting for the divine moment - then be in your joy - be present and have faith in the natural rhythm and alignment of the energy within and around you. Trust that everything will work out for your highest good - when you align body, mind, soul and spirit and await your own flowering at the exact moment where you are in alignment with love's consciousness and able to accept and receive all that is awaiting your highest good. Divine Timing is a gift to cherish! Full Moon Blessings! Love, Joan

We Are All in This Change Together! 0 comments

7 May 2009 @ 14:37 "And the time came when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom". It’s amazing what we can endure when we have a support system. When we have people around that we can fall into. As a nation we too are falling into one another. There are so many of us whom are experiencing the growing pains of this new consciousness that we are collectively creating and it is not easy nor is it comfortable. We all are experiencing it in one way or another and the comfort--in my opinion--is that we are all doing it together. We are all realizing that to remain in the old ways of thinking and being no longer fulfills the essential desires of the heart. It is too much to sacrifice-- therefore even though we are not clear of what lies ahead it is better than to keep repeating the past. As Joseph Campbell said, "we must let go of the life that we planned so we can receive the life that is waiting for us". As I am going through my own metamorphous and as I work with clients each day, it is all the same story. We are in the proces of change - something inside of us is seeking new growth and we realize the importance of taking time to stop and listen to what is calling us from this place deep within us. It is definetly not comfortable, it's challenging-- but the good news is that we are doing it together We are shaking things up so we can begin again - and emerge anew. We are collectively getting a "make over" a cosmic face lift. We realized somewhere along the way that we can not do it alone. We understand at a deeper level that the human heart can not tolerate isolation that it was created in the oneness of the whole and therefore we have to re-unite with that one heart beat once again. We were birthed in the oneness of love’s consciousness – this is the path we seek and desire to anoint ourselves with once again. This is the good news. The sensational news we hold on to as we move in and out of our changes. We are not separate but one and what hurts my heart – hurts yours and what empowers me empowers you. We are moving forward even though it is uncomfortable. We are being nudged by all these unseen universal forces to let go, jump, take the leap of faith. In the movie – the Titanic there is a line I love--- Kate Winslet looks at Leonardo DiCapprio and say’s –“you jump – I jump”. We are saying that to each other as we create this new bond of oneness. We are all holding each other up. I say together we can be fear-less, strong, courageous, and in joy, for there is nothing in the world that is more powerful than standing next to one another in a common goal. This too shall pass. I believe we are all being called to blossom and expand into new places that we may not even know are calling us. It is a divine universal moment and because we are all in this change together we can rest assure that we will cross the finish line and we will reach the place where we are once again connected heart to heart, spirit to spirit, soul to soul - living in peace and harmony. In this I trust.
