Month: May 2014
Don’t confuse exhaustion for relaxation, or agitation for energy.
– Judith Hanson Lasater
Yes, been noticing so many “energetic” people … exhausted, adrenals shot, but UNABLE to relax…
Did you know it takes min. 20 minutes to regain para-sympathetic nervous system dominance? In stark contrast, less than a second for the “flight or fright” sympathetic nervous system to kick in. Makes sense from our primordial ancestral life style but have you noticed that lately, just lately …
you have not ran into tigers in the jungles ?
(just boss on power trips or road rage… maybe just as bad:)
Nor
Have you slept in caves of late with night watch guarding outside?
(just tossing and turning with monkeys in our mind…)

Let’s find a sweet spot in regaining our balance.
Peace is found within.

“Once each month, the moon comes all the way around in its orbit so that it is more or less between us and the sun. If the moon always passed directly between the sun and Earth at new moon, a solar eclipse would take place every month. But that doesn’t happen every month. Instead, in most months, the moon passes above or below the sun as seen from our earthly vantage point.
Young moon, visible a day or two after the new moon phase. A young moon is seen in the west after sunset. It’s a waxing crescent moon.
On the day of new moon, the moon rises when the sun rises. It sets when the sun sets. It crosses the sky with the sun during the day. That’s why we can’t see the new moon in the sky. It is too close to the sun’s glare to be visible. Plus its lighted hemisphere is facing away from us.
Then a day or two later, the moon reappears, in the west after sunset. Then it’s a slim waxing crescent visible only briefly after sunset.” (excerpt from http://earthsky.org/moon-phases/waning-gibbous)
That new moon, a delicate crescent you see in the evening sky, is a time of rebirth and renewal. The waning and It represents a powerful time to set our intentions for what we want to see to fruition in our lives during this cycle. Feel a fresh sense of re-charging and an energy of new possibilities at the onset of another natural cycle of change..
I can see the aura of people, the color and how with each progression of poses in restorative sequence, the waves of light around them slowly charge up – the aura strengthens in color and in brightness – it’s strangely visible…They just literally “light up”! Really!! We are all balls of vibrating energy, sometimes in need of recharging. In tribal setting, it’s nice to see that energy as we lengthen our breath, extend our lives so we can touch more people and spread that light, that’s within the luminous you.
In all things of nature
there is something of
the marvelous.
– Aristotle
It has been said that making an intention, more an affirmation, the week of New Moon sets your cycle to accept all that is positive and beneficial in life. Sometimes, without knowing you might be denying and rejecting all the gifts presented to you – accept graciously and open these gifts, unwrap the present… Savor that “present” moment with gratitude. You would be glad you did.
