A Time for Rest

The whispers of the Earth are soft and delicate today. I woke up to the sound of delicate raindrops singing a sweet lullaby after weeks of a persistent heat wave. I feel called me to slow down, to be and to allow.

HOW DO YOU RESPOND WHEN YOUR SPIRIT CALLS YOU TO REST?

It is tempting to give in to the urge for constant doing, giving and taking action, especially with a whole year of hard work line up for me. The need to get things done and to achieve more is ever present. But I am learning to heed the subtle nudges of my deep feminine essence, nudges that says:

“Be still for a moment. Rest, release and debrief for just a little while before the mad rush starts all over again.”

Through valuable lessons gathered in Marissa of Moondaughter’s Luna Flow e-course, I am learning to ride the ebb energy of the waning moon a lot better these days.

Our activity oriented masculine half serves its purpose well when it comes co-creating the beautiful dreams and visions we have for our lives. Factoring in the tender feminine self encourages receptivity and restoration, things that are equally as important. It facilitates self-care and allows one to heed the guidance of intuition. It brings about a greater sense of balance, restores the soul and replenishes our energy.

So today, I am simply breathing through the quiet restorative task that nurture my Spirit and foster deep relaxation. I am letting go of what needs to depart from my life and allowing my intuition to steer the course.

Love for 30 Project: Three Treasures I discovered when I turned 30

Happy Monday beautiful souls,

Wishing you a beautiful start to this new week.

Going through transitions like entering your 30s (or whatever kind of transition your face) can be daunting. However, often such experiences also bring us important lessons that help us to grow in beautiful ways. A guest post that I wrote about just that was published on My Thirty Spot today. You can check out my piece, My Little Treasures: The 3 Cs’ I discovered at 30 here: http://www.mythirtyspot.com/2014/01/my-little-treasures-3-cs-i-discovered.html#more

Journeying by Moonlight

MOTHS ARE DRAWN TO THE LIGHT.

They fly straight into its blaze.They flirtatiously dance with candle flames. Crazed, they sometimes burn their wings. Why? Because moths rely on Celestial navigation. They are guided by the ever elusive moonlight. Electric light and flames distort their navigational senses.

Watching the moths on this warm summer evening, a question crossed my mind…

Do you sometimes fly into the light just as they do when you chase after things that you think you want, things that don’t necessarily resonate with what your soul desires?

Things that seem all glossy and luminous on the surface, yet, when you get them, that space in your heart is still empty because what you really wanted was not that new car, but freedom. You didn’t really want the perfect wedding, but the love, support and devotion of a soulmate. You didn’t really want the great job, but rather to live an authentic life doing things that fulfil you.

The moon is often revered as a symbol of feminine intuition, a deep inner knowing that informs your experiences in a profound way. When you journey by moonlight, you dig a little deeper to get to the juicy essence of what your Spirit wants to create in your life.

There are many ways to dim the distracting light bulbs and douse the flames in order to realign with the guiding beacon of your inner moonlight.

Oriah Mountain Dream speaks of one beautiful method that inspired her poem, The Invitation. Oriah peels away the layers of the superficial surface to get to the core of what the soul actually needs by saying:

It doesn’t really matter if I ever….(get that big dream house)…What I really want is…(a peaceful sacred space where I can retreat to each day)

Danielle Laporte’s Desire Map method is to uncover your core desire feelings. She suggests that you examine what you want to feel – peace, abundance, supported, passionate – and then use these feelings to inform your goals and how you live your life.

As you embrace or resist the of frenzy planning and goal setting for the year ahead, how will you sift through the bullshit and stay centred and connect to your own intuitive navigational system?

Whatever you choose, may it resonate with you. Carve your intentions and dreams around the quintessence of your Spirit. Soar in the night sky among the stars, always in alignment with the moonlight of your soul. May it be the light that guides your through the unknown and into a new tomorrow.
