Creating Sacred Space...

With the moon in Libra and the sun in Aries, we are feeling the energies of 2 opposing signs.
Libra is about relationships, compromise, fairness, compassion for the other. Aries is about self, purpose, forging ahead, making your own way. “The Scales” of Libra represent balance and with these opposing signs it's not so much a balance between the two but rather a merging to be authentic to self while considering others in our actions.

The prevalent retrograde planets are slowing things down which can be a source of frustration in our busy lives. The current energies can be so paradoxical and I know for myself it is very apparent. I am still feeling the call to action - in the midst of purging my surroundings of what is no longer useful or necessary. Ha! Ha! Just another way to say I am decluttering my home & studio space. Getting rid! Amongst the sorting, organizing, selling, donating, and daily yo yo “life on this planet” happenings, I also find myself busier than ever, making it easy to spin out into overwhelm.
My recent re-dedication to self care through morning yoga and meditation is keeping me centered and aware. Remembering to ground & go within seems to be so key now as well as the reoccurring message of Patience! I am reminded that authentic power comes from within which allows real access to express one's true self openly and intentionally with the affect of greater change.

I have been witnessing my own self judgment around “timelines/deadlines/expectations” (the language is not lost on me). For example I was having challenges getting this moon meditation finalized to send out for whatever reasons. Instead of getting too caught up in the story of being “behind” I chose to trust and surrender that it would come together . This was more useful to my energy of what was occurring. When I go into worry & “try harder” there is resistance. The harder I push, the more resistance is present and as you know the universe serves us what we focus on. When I go into allowance things come together. We are moving into a time of less force, a time of the feminine. I find that the less attached I am, the more grounded I am, the more in allowance I am, the more patient I am... there is a path of least resistance that opens up. I am more in the flow and I am in tune with my true self, the higher self. So during what may seem to be a challenge, being in the divine presence of trust, I am rewarded with a greater sense of ease, grace and flow throughout my day. This shows up in relation to my self and in relation to others. I share this with a message to be gentle with yourself during these intense times. Gift yourself trust, allowance and self love and you may find it changes everything.

This full moon is also named “The Pink Moon” by Native American tribes for the pink wild flowers that bloomed forth during this time in the spring. It carries energy of the new, of birth and is a special time to celebrate our intentions and creations coming forth into being.

In celebration of this spring Libra, Aries energy I am offering my moon meditation as a visioning of what I am in relationship with now to cause and create. A special place to hold ceremony, to learn, to explore, to play & to share. I am manifesting a sacred space to offer my sacred work, to invite, gather & teach. I see and feel it as a yurt. I am bringing it forth. How? I don't really know yet but it is present in my heart and mind and to the universe. How it will unfold is a great mystery. I hold the excitement of a child who is waiting to open a special gift. The “present” may show up differently than I imagine but I am certain it will transpire. How do I know that? I think it is because I am being authentic to myself in what I wish to bring forth in service to not only myself but to others. It is an exchange of energy that is true to my belief in myself and my relationship to the divine.... In joy, in love and in wonder of the creative heart.

I encourage you to use this moon meditation as safe space to envision holding your dreams, intentions and passions... or let it fuel your imagination of what you wish to birth forth during this potent time.
