Oh Blue Moon

I was walking back to the salon last night from 2nd Home and saw the moon. It's gorgeous! My friend Amanda told me earlier in the day that there are 2 full moons this month. I came home to google it and found out that this rarely happens and when it does, the 2nd moon is called a "blue moon" Which is why there is that saying, "once in a blue moon." The full moon is on Friday Aug 31, 2012.

Because the full moon has power to change the tides, this is a very powerful time if you want it to be. It's about a time of waves, changes, and dreams. So if life is about riding out the waves...there are lots of waves right now! Take this time to pick out your waves so that you can SURF the best waves. There are lots of new opportunities for you and you can ride as many waves as you want. This is a time of excitement and allows for the dreams and the changes you want.

Take time today to think about one thing you want to change in your life or add to. Whatever is the first thing that pops in your head is your inner child and make it that. Ask the universe for it, or put it in the lotus meditation this week and see what manifests!

Happy Thursday an happy dreaming!

Confronting your fear...confession

Confession...this is somewhat embarrassing...

At the end of 2011, I wrote and produced a guided meditation. It happened in a matter of a month and perhaps by the grace of Jesus-Buddha-Allah-Krishna and all other things Holy, I finished it and it was downloadable on my website. It was very exciting and then I didn't know what to do with it... I did the most passive aggressive thing... I couldn't truly move forward with the marketing and getting it to a physical CD.

 

After quietly sending it to all the good people who had pre-ordered it digitally (for which I am deeply grateful. Thank you.), I moved on to the next project. Truth was, I was scared. Even after receiving positive feedback and testimonials, I was afraid that you wouldn't like it. I was afraid of criticism and failure.Unconsciously convinced by the little voice in my head that told me it wasn't good enough and that I wasn't good enough.

I've been meditating for years but I couldn't see myself as an expert. I only had 2 guided meditation CDs I personally owned. So I did the Chopra 21 day meditation challenge, bought 5 other meditations, went to guided meditation workshops and oneness blessings.  

It bothered me. Every few weeks, I would be reminded of this incomplete project. Someone would ask or I would think about it and then feel completely embarrassed. And none of the meditations got me anchored and inspired as much as my lotus mudra meditation in a matter of 6 or 13.5 minutes.

I did my meditation personally everyday because it really eased me. I take myself out of it and imagine it is someone else to keep focused. The more I did it, the more answers did show up for me, giving me peace and courage to get the 1st production of the CD out. The first production has some mistakes but the content is perfect. The other stuff is easily revisable.  

The CDs arrived July 5th and seeing it in the physical form was the mental bridge I need to cross over. Now standing on the other side, it is a breathe of fresh air and new adventures await...

 

My point of telling you all of this is two fold:

1. Letting you know what this project is all about and how it can be what you have been seeking.  

2. If you have a project that you want to do but fear keeps getting in the way, or have a project you've started but never launched.... Just do it!  It will be more painful not to do it, because thinking about it will eat at you and consume an enormous amount of energy.
