Happy Magnificent, Magickal, Marvelous, Majestic Memorial Monday.
(To all my US friends), and happy Spring Bank holiday to all my lovely UK friends!
Wow, May seems to have just flown by! It just seems a hot minute ago that we were talking about the energy of this month being TENSION and pffft, the month is almost done.
Although, I will say I am reveling in the warm weather, the garden growth and all the amazing smelly flowers that come out and dance for us in this time of late Spring.
This weekend we celebrated the mother-ship’s 95th birthday, with a feast, family, friends, frivolities and fun. It was so interesting to see all the different personalities meld and the cool conversations that unfolded.
During that event, I had a great conversation with one of my boys about the book “Unfuck Yourself” (he had just discovered it recently.)
He brought up the key phrase that can really Unfuck you……… Ready?
Super simple, but super powerful when faced with confusion, stagnation and all the rest of that dross.
The phrase is “AM I WILLING?”
Am I willing to do the work to make a change? Am I willing to get off the sofa and go to the gym to lose weight? Am I willing to release those relationships that drain me?
AM I FUCKING WILLING TO MAKE CHANGE?
Then interestingly enough the author goes on to say, if you can’t come up with anything to put on your AM I WILLING list. Turn it around and ask yourself the same question in a different way “WHAT AM I NOT WILLING TO DO OR PUT UP WITH?”
For example, I am not willing to put up with this abusive relationship. I am not willing to continually struggle. I am not willing to be continually dismissed. I am not willing to feel unhealthy………..
It’s quite fascinating to play with, write down and it most certainly unravels those threads that can make you feel like you are tied up in a knot.
Dare you to try it!
This Saturday (June 3rd) we welcome in the Strawberry Full Moon.
This is the first Full Moon since our lovely Eclipse Season and the heralding of Summer and Summer Solstice.
The Strawberry Moon of June is named for the wild and ripe strawberries that reach their peak in June. It’s believed that picking strawberries beneath the light of the moon honors the crops and ensures a bountiful yield.
Strawberries are considered a food of love, representative of the goddess Freya, and they symbolize love and luck. June’s Strawberry Moon meaning embodies the magic and fullness of life.
This is the best moment to make difficult decisions or to face responsibilities you’ve been avoiding. Start fresh and dive deep into personal growth! Remember to pace yourself, don’t burn yourself out in your excitement and enthusiasm. Evaluate your goals and intentions to make sure they are realistic and achievable.
New life, sunlight, magic, joy, and strength are everywhere. The earth and the universe are surging with enthusiasm! Your intuition is at a peak! So keep an open mind to all of life’s adventures and twists.
A delicious thing to do under this Full Moon is to go sit outside beneath the moon, or someplace quiet where you will not be disturbed. Reflect on 3 things you are grateful for right now.
Feel free to say the following chant or repeat it in your mind:
Tonight I sit beneath this Strawberry Moon feeling grateful for (say the 3 things you chose above). I’m grateful for the Moon above and the Earth below me. As the season turns I wish strength, abundance, hope, and love for myself and those I care for.
Feel the white and glowing energy of the Strawberry Moon fill you up. Then just spend the next 5-10 minutes meditating quietly.
Okay, enough chuntering – let’s crack on with the reading.
We have glorious new guides this week! They are your Gateway guides, they are your keys to unlocking a mystic portal into the inner knowing and ancient wisdom within you. They can open a wondrous realm where you can explore your life and discover what destiny has in store for you.
Are you ready?
Take a deep breath honey, just drop into this moment and ask yourself what would it look like to be willing and to start fresh. Allow that energy to fill your being and then when you are ready pick the card or cards that resonate for you.
Did you remember to pick?
Let’s go have a look, shall we?
RISING ABOVE
Let go of the ordinary and step into the extraordinary. You have potential that you haven’t even begun to tap into. This is the time to reach higher than ever before, so do not fall down before doubt.
Remember your true calling.
Just as the lotus rises up out of the mud into the light, so you are rising up to even greater heights. Sometimes this occurs naturally, and sometimes it’s an act of will.
This is the time to rise above any situation that’s not empowering. Even if there are some people you might leave behind, let your light shine for all to see.
Rise up and step into your potential!
ACCEPTING WHAT IS
Accept your life in all its configurations. Know that every moment, situation, and event has profound value….even if it doesn’t seem like it.
Accept your inner majesty and be present.
You are magnificent and wondrous beyond measure. Embrace all those parts of yourself!
It is an act of both power and faith to love, honour, and accept what is. At times it can be challenging to truly accept what’s occurring in your life.
When you do so, however, you affirm that there’s a plan for your life and that everything is working for your highest good.
Accepting “what is” doesn’t mean that you can’t work to change it, because you can. It does mean that there is gentle, yet profound, awareness that every experience can support your highest good and spiritual evolution.
If there is something you just can’t accept, start by gently acknowledging the fact that you can’t accept it, don’t push it into the closet and hide it away.
As you increase your own acceptance in life, this will help others be at peace in their own lives.
SAVOURING PLEASURE
Fill your life with people, experiences, and places that bring you delight and joy.
Live deliciously!
Release the need to be practical in all situations. Surround yourself with beauty and sumptuous pleasures.
You’re not meant to solely work hard and be dutiful and diligent. Life should be lived abundantly and fully. Give yourself permission to be happy and experience profound gratification and gratitude.
Embrace pleasure whenever you can.
Create personal environments that fill you with deep satisfaction. Cherish your friendships. Love often and deeply. Allow your senses to be satisfied.
See, hear, taste, touch, and feel the beauty within and around you.
Drink well, eat well, and dance into the early morning hours.
Wow! Perfect guides for this Strawberry Moon, as it’s all about embracing life, getting clear and reveling in who you are! Wishing you a stupendous week of love, laughter and all sorts of possibilities. Take some time under the Moon. Big hugs and squeezes.
