Between now and next Friday when I post again, there\u00a0are a number of\u00a0seasonal and cosmic influences coming to bear on our world and our lives.\u00a0 Monday is the new or “void” moon, Wednesday night is\u00a0Winter Solstice – the longest night of the year, and\u00a0until the 23rd\u00a0Mercury is retrograde, which some find very challenging.\u00a0 Personally, I love all this stuff, let me tell you why!<\/p>\n
What I have found as a Spiritual Healer, is that any “void” in what normally supports us from the world around,\u00a0can be\u00a0a womb for something better to grow in.\u00a0 We can help this emptiness be filled with something better by being aware that there is an opportunity\u00a0for that.\u00a0 If we are unaware and it takes us by surprise we can metaphorically fall into the “void” and become upset or frightened, which can draw negativity to us.\u00a0 So this week we have another opportunity to be the light and love the darkness as a place where our true light can be born.<\/p>\n
I love Rudolph Steiner’s Calendar of the Soul\u00a0verse\u00a0for this week:<\/p>\n
To carry Spirit’s light to world-winter night Strives blissfully the impulse of my heart, <\/em><\/p>\n That shining seeds of soul Take root in grounds of worlds, <\/em><\/p>\n And Word of God in senses’ darkness <\/em><\/p>\n Resounds, transfiguring all being.<\/em><\/p>\n This almost says it all for me!\u00a0 But I have a few more thoughts to share rather than stop right here.<\/p>\n The new or void\u00a0moon<\/strong> – The moon warms and lifts our hearts and pushes on our unconscious feeling self, making us reactive to emotional impulses.\u00a0 It calls us to grow mature enough to own and master\u00a0our powerful feelings and passions from a place of spiritual maturity, which allows us to corral them into purposeful directions.\u00a0\u00a0During the “void” influence of the moon, we can invite our Higher\u00a0Self to make a home within our earthly unconscious and emotional selves and attune our lower nature to a clearer and more unconditionally loving place.<\/p>\n Winter Solstice<\/strong> – Wow, do I love winter solstice!\u00a0 The long quiet, cold night feels like a sacred space, where I can\u00a0welcome to be born into the world\u00a0the unconditionally loving energies of creation.\u00a0 These include the One\u00a0Source of Life, and what I called last blog The Force of Unity (see more below).\u00a0 And of all the elements of Christianity that\u00a0I can take issue with,\u00a0the one I love\u00a0without reservation\u00a0is the birth of Jesus whose true spirit is exquisitely unconditional and loving, and I feel it\u00a0strongly during this season.\u00a0 To me his story\u00a0teaches that the divine can live within human beings and that means each of us.\u00a0 Winter Solstice to me is all this.\u00a0\u00a0There is an energy on the planet\u00a0that makes me\u00a0want to step into the void of cold and night\u00a0and experience this vast opening to be a\u00a0part of\u00a0the cosmic and planetary energies of unconditional love.\u00a0\u00a0My awareness of those energies\u00a0becomes an impulse within\u00a0me to\u00a0invite them to be born and grow strong within all of us and all creation.<\/p>\n Mercury Retrograde<\/strong> – I have learned to make friends with Mercury retrograde!\u00a0 When I first learned about it, it was that thing which causes communication and electronics to misfire, and which creates unwanted delays in forward activity.\u00a0 But I decided that since it happens numerous times each year, I needed to work with it willingly, and this has made all the difference for my experience!\u00a0 Mercury\u00a0moves backward\u00a0through our planetary influences, causing us to delay forward movement in favor of addressing steps which are necessary for us to move forward successfully.\u00a0 So when\u00a0I am\u00a0experiencing blocks or delays, miscommunication and malfunctioning electronics, I stop and meditate on what I need to do that I have missed.\u00a0 Many times it is an inner shift that I need to make in attitude\u00a0or understanding.\u00a0 Sometimes it is a chance to correct a misunderstanding before it blows up into a problem.\u00a0 Sometimes it is a piece of my past which would hold me back if I didn’t work through it emotionally, mentally and spiritually to heal and clear energies that are stuck; or to harvest a gift that I need from back then.\u00a0 So I choose to be patient and utilize these opportunities.\u00a0 Then when\u00a0mercury again\u00a0goes direct as it will on December 23,\u00a0it is like catching the wave of change and riding it home to the beach!\u00a0 Things move the right way and fast!<\/p>\n For those who last week thought the term The Force of Unity sounded pushy or made them think of light sabers, I would like to share some thoughts!\u00a0 First of all, words are clumsy, so use what works for you!\u00a0 The Force of Unity\u00a0flows from\u00a0Chokmah on the Qabalah Tree of Life, which in our experience is\u00a0Ascended Mastery also called the Cosmic Christ.\u00a0 Let me assure you that while it is amazingly powerful, there is nothing pushy or threatening about this unconditionally loving level of being.\u00a0 Work with it and you will find out for yourself what it is like!\u00a0 It is pure spirit, freedom and unconditional love and without restriction,\u00a0and only able to be loving.\u00a0 And whatever terms help you connect are the ones you should use.\u00a0 I use many because each accesses\u00a0truth a bit differently for me, and evokes its own perfection.\u00a0 You can read more about this term in last week’s blog!<\/p>\n People have been enjoying the radio interviews I did recently which have links on my main website home page.\u00a0\u00a0Check them out if you are looking for half an hour of relaxing spiritual perspective on life!\u00a0 Also, I had my web designer correct the email address which was posted wrong there, my apologies if your emails bounced – please try again!<\/p>\n Wishing you a beautiful birth of light and truth within your soul, your life and our world this week my friends!\u00a0 You are a gift to the world and I love you!\u00a0 Eve<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Between now and next Friday when I post again, there\u00a0are a number of\u00a0seasonal and cosmic influences coming to bear on our world and our lives.\u00a0 Monday is the new or “void” moon, Wednesday night is\u00a0Winter Solstice – the longest night … Continue reading
