Beloved,
Transformation is thick in the air, like smoke. And in fact, there are many fires burning right now in the Los Angeles area filling the air in just this way. Where fire burns, there is change. Whether the change is invited or not, the fire demands to let go of what once was, and to embrace the opportunity for a new beginning. We are asked to remember that no matter how destructive the fire and no matter how painful the loss, life always regenerates and something new is birthed from the flames.
Transformation happens in the fire.
FULL MOON IN ARIES
Full Moons are always an incredibly potent and ideal time to release. They are part of the natural cycle of change, and as the energy of the Full Moon culminates, it gathers all that has been experienced in the last cycle to be seen in its illuminating light. All of that energy cannot be held for long and is not meant to be contained, the cycle must continue where energy releases and the fullness of the moon begins to wane, its energy decreasing and ultimately coming into stillness and darkness once the New Moon arrives again.
The fullness of this cosmic energy is meant to feel like too much, so we can truly confront what needs to be let go of within ourselves, offer it to the Full Moon, and then allow the Moon to take that which has been released out of our consciousness into the growing darkness as the cycle continues to change. We then are entering the next cycle more clear, more free, more aligned with where we are presently in our journeys, no longer weighed down or held back by old energy, old ways.
Today’s Full Moon is more potent than usual- there is a tremendous pressure of change put upon us now. The fiery light of this explosive Aries Full Moon shows us what needs to be released, and this moment is a point of true transformation, making way for great expansion in our realities. Aries is the beginning sign of the zodiac, and this is giving us a pivotal opportunity for a brand new beginning for the self in exchange for what is given up to the fire.
WORK WITH FIRE, INVITE IN CHANGE
Fire ceremonies are incredibly powerful in their ability to bring transformation into our lives. When worked with intention, great change is possible in alignment with the highest good. The fire purifies and clears out what no longer serves. I work with sacred fire every day for this purpose, helping me to release what I’m holding too tightly, that which holds me back from expansion.
I look around me and see evidence of transformation in my landscape, in my home, in my body, in my work, in my relationships, in my community. Some of what is changing I struggle with, and so I sit with the fire to remember the purpose of transformation. I look to the ever-cycling Moon to remember the purpose of death and rebirth. I look to the rising Sun that descends into night every single day to remember the purpose of light and dark.
We are creatures of change and only when we fully allow the experience of change, we receive the gifts available in each flowing moment. We are being asked to align with our peace within every change, recognizing there is a greater gift in all of it. We are being asked to harmonize with change by finding the beauty, the gift, the joy in the present moment.
We are being asked to remember who we truly are, and what unites us all as one. As change continues to rise up within us and all around us, we are asked to remember the Love that always exists within each and every one of us.
We are in a massive time of transformation. Now is the time to rise up and truly meet yourself for the first time. Now is the time to know the truth of who you are like you’ve never known yourself before. Now is the time to align with your true power and expand into your divine radiance in full support of the cosmos. Now is the time to surprise yourself with what you are capable of when all of your divine potential is fully realized and activated.
Now is the time to see the beauty of change.
When everything is changing so rapidly, we are being asked to remember that which never changes: The Love that dwells within everyone and everything.
FULL MOON CEREMONY
Tonight, Sunday October 13th on the night of the Full Moon, I am sharing Cacao Ceremony in Joshua Tree. Please join me in ceremony and work with the heart-opening medicine of Sacred Cacao to access the truth of your heart. By opening your heart, you enable yourself to receive higher guidance, and become focused and clear about what isn’t serving you any longer. Tonight’s ceremony is a powerful opportunity to work with this hugely transformational energy in the highest possible way, supported by Cacao Medicine, supported by the Full Moon, and supported by loving community in sacred circle.
*** If you are in the Joshua Tree area and would like to join, please email me as soon as possible to RSVP and receive the full details for the ceremony, starting at 6pm. ***
A FIRE RITUAL FOR EVERYONE
If you are not able to participate in person, I invite you to set sacred space for yourself tonight and tune into the power of this Full Moon. All you need is a single candle flame to harness the energy of divine transformation. Also have a sheet of paper, writing utensil, a firesafe bowl, and quiet reflective time and space.
Ask yourself: What am I absolutely done with in my life? What is it that I refuse to let be part of my reality moving forward? What is in my life that is undeniably asking for change? What is part of my life that holds me back from embodying my authentic truth?
Write down what you are releasing for good. With a prayer of gratitude for all that has been learned and gifts received from your life experiences, offer the paper to the flame and set your burning paper in a firesafe bowl or fireplace. Witness transformation taking place, and feel yourself becoming free. When the fire is complete, close your eyes and take a deep breath in, and exhale expressing this great release through your holy breath.
