1st New Moon of 2020 — “Be Quiet”
MY HISTORY — ORIGINALLY POSTED NOVEMBER 27, 2019 ON INSTAGRAM@THEPOINTOFYOU
In my work, yesterday’s new moon marked the beginning of a new year of transformation. Happy New Year! Nature now calls us to turn inward, again, and shift our overall focus for the next 4 moon cycles (approximately December through March) away from the harvest of “self-realization” and back toward inner restructuring with "self-awareness” … noticing the ways we give away our power by denying our true Selves and blaming the outside world for keeping us small, shifting our attitude from resist-stance to accept-stance of the possibilities to “be” that we most deeply desire, and liberating our Selves from inner confinement and external dependency. YES!
To begin this journey, between now and the full moon, I’m exploring the ways I smother my inner Self with “external inputting,” how I can choose to say “no thank you” and nourish my inner joy and wisdom, instead … and take note of the little gifts of wisdom that bubble up from within.
Yesterdays Gift: We all have very powerful and destructive inner voices, and this is the season where we get to learn how to tell them ... “Be quiet. I am love. And I am loved.” I saw this so clearly for my Mom, yesterday, as she struggled to just allow her Self to receive our love without feeling like she had to “do” something to deserve and earn it.
As I reflected on what I saw for her, I became aware of how hard I am on myself about bringing the work that’s flowing through me out into the world in a much bigger way. How easy it is for me to feel like I'm not doing enough. Not sharing enough. Moving too slowly. Letting people down. Letting my Self down. And, with awareness, I got to stop and say to this inner voice … “Be quiet. I am love. And I am loved.” I sighed, and my whole body relaxed, like a stretched rubber band that was allowed to rest.
And this morning, instead of beating myself up for not posting yesterday (a goal I set that became a “have to”), this morning, I get to share this little gift with inner peace and Joy.
