Memories of the Moon Reawakened
Jul 5th, 2009 by rebekahshaman
Hello Beautiful Beings
Yesterday afternoon it was my brother’s birthday picnic on Hampstead Heath. He chose a spot I used to visit with my Astrology teacher Amrito - or Derek Hawkins as he is now known, when I was Seventeen. We would walk through this magical clearing in the middle of the woods and he would teach me about the planets and the stars. He opened my eyes to their magic and inspiration and ever since then they became a part of my life.
We would also connect with nature and he taught me to see beyond the obvious. I hadn’t been back in years so it was a special moment when I entered the clearing and was flooded with memories. Spending the afternoon eating, talking and relaxing in the sun I felt the messages come pouring down for my Lunascope. It was as though I had refreshed the memory of my inspired teachings that ignited my love for the Moon and Planets, and now the channel is clear again.
It is fortuitous that I came back to this spot today because I am already feeling vulnerable and pessimistic under this Capricorn moon, and can feel it has already affected my mood in a very noticeable way. Being in that special place made me realise just how powerful the Moon is and how it affects our moods continuously and especially leading up to a New and Full Moon. For example the fears of my own limitations that I can usually keep at bay are getting more and more prominent. being triggered by Saturn, the Ruler of Capricorn. My Moon is also in Capricorn and this is making the experience even more intense.
And yet for the first time I am acutally seeing it as a blessing. Knowing about this moon, and the negative effect it can have on me I am able to become pro-active and work with the Moon energies rather than against Her. Its almost as if I have no choice, otherwise I am going to have a very shitty few weeks!!
Already all the possible negative outcomes, that I usually keep at bay, about what could happen (and there are many!) keep flooding my mind, and yet the signs are so good, and the magic undeniable. I want to remain in the magic, where anything can happen and I am manifesting it all with my consciousness. Even though I live my life like this under this Moon I seem to have to learn it all over again!!
THe first thing I am doing on the Full Moon is my ritual that is on my bi-monthly Lunascope or Website: www.rebekahshaman.com/lunascope. This is a very powerful ritual and visualisation to set intention and feel connected with nature, especially if you feel a bit unbalanced and vulnerable. Let Mother Earth feed you with energy, she is a life-giver and can help us feel safe if we connect with her, so hug a tree, feel your bare feet on the soil, swim in a Lake, bury your face in rich grass and smell deeply. Go heavy and just feel your body resting on Mother Earth, being supported by Her.
The second thing I am going to do is a forty day Lakshmi Mantra to bring wealth, abundance and prosperity into my life. I have all these but would like to see an improvement in my Financial area. I will write in depth about this on the Full Moon.
The third thing I am going to do exercise at least three times a week to get out of my head and into my body, the quickest high i Know!!!
thats a good start for now!!
Love and Hugs
