2022 Listen Generously - Moon Cycle 7

MY HISTORY — ORIGINALLY POSTED JUNE 17, 2022 ON INSTAGRAM@THEPOINTOFYOU

Have any circumstances in your life been bringing up feelings of being not good enough? Have you felt the need to defend and prove your Self to anyone? Have you experienced others responding defensively to you, too?  Have you felt disappointment in others, but really in your Self? These are the shadows giving form to our individual and collective lifework, right now.

In this 7th moon cycle, we continue the work of the first 6 cycles … 1st accepting our autonomy, 2nd forgiving our joy, 3rd deserving faith in our Selves, 4th opening up courage, 5th detaching from the old stories of our fears, 6th releasing responsibility to control … so NOW, we can override the self-defeating voices in our heads, stop projecting these fears onto others, and begin learning to LISTEN with the GENEROSITY of our higher Selves, instea

Here’s an example from my own lifework:

The Celebration of Life service for my Mom was truly beautiful. Her family, colleagues and friends showed up to see and honor her, in the loving and masterful ways she did for us.

I had poured my heart into creating 200 slides, with ~500 pictures, to tell the story of her life, and people at the service expressed gratitude for getting to see the fullness of her life.

Later that day, I admitted to Bryan, “I feel disappointment and need to just say it out loud." There had been a snafu, outside my “control," in timing the slides with the live music. As the day wore on, the sensation of “let down” grew. At 10p, I started sobbing.

It wasn’t about the slides. I was experiencing an ancestral wound  of being a disappointment to my Mom and my family.

I knew this wasn't truth. I was ready to let go … to DETACH (more) from this ancestral story, to RELEASE the feeling that I should have taken “control," and to LISTEN to my higher Self, with as much GENEROSITY of COMPASSION (from the caregiver archetype) for my Self, as I had expressed for the pianist and the tech guy. I got to say to my Self, "Kim, the slides were beautiful. Mom would have loved them.”

Our 7th archetype shows us the grace of our higher Selves, that we get to listen with, generously, for our Selves and others. Which archetype is yours?
