Though unfolding outside conscious awareness, we carry the unconscious of those who have come before us. At some point in our journey, we will be asked to confront, integrate, and tend to the unlived lives of our personal and collective ancestry. This confrontation is a radical act of love, not only for yourself, but for beings everywhere.

Look carefully and see what you are holding, by way of your parents, grandparents, their parents and grandparents, and beyond: What dreams remained unfulfilled for them? What were their deepest longings? What secrets were they never able to share?

What kept them awake at night? What brought them alive and unleashed their creativity and uniqueness? What visions were not permitted to take form?

What were they required to disown in order to fit in to a world that had lost its sensitivity and soul? What became buried in the shadows of their unlived lives?

As you create an inner sanctuary in which this material can emerge – by way of feeling, image, symbol, and meaning – the seemingly solid lines between past, present, and future will dissolve. What is left in this process of dissolution is an invitation, a thundering call to integration, and into a journey into the uncharted territory of the heart.

In the mandala of wholeness, past, present, and future co-emerge and interpenetrate, each offering a unique passageway into your true nature, and into the jeweled-like qualities of what you are.

We give thanks for all those who are moved, in their lives, to heal and protect the earth, in small ways and in large. Blessings on the composters, the gardeners, the breeders of worms and mushrooms, the soil-builders, those who cleanse the waters and purify the air, all those who clean up the messes others have made. Blessings on those who defend trees and who plant trees, who guard the forests and who renew the forests. Blessings on those who learn to heal the grasslands and renew the streams, on those who prevent erosion, who restore the salmon and the fisheries, who guard the healing herbs and who know the lore of the wild plants. Blessings on those who heal the cities and bring them alive again with excitement and creativity and love. Gratitude and blessings to all who stand against greed, who risk themselves, to those who have bled and been wounded, and to those who have given their lives in service of the earth.

May all the healers of the earth find their own healing. May they be fueled by passionate love for the earth. May they know their fear but not be stopped by fear. May they feel their anger and yet not be ruled by rage. May they honor their grief but not be paralyzed by sorrow. May they transform fear, rage, and grief into compassion and the inspiration to act in service of what they love. May they find the help, the resources, the courage, the luck, the strength, the love, the health, the joy that they need to do the work. May they be in the right place, at the right time, in the right way. May they bring alive a great awakening, open a listening ear to hear the earth's voice, transform imbalance to balance, hate and greed to love. Blessed be the healers of the earth.

💗 Happy Pink Full Moon 💗

Tonight the Pink Full Moon will shine brightly in the night sky - unless you are blessed with wind and rain as we currently are in the North of Scotland. 🌬️🌧️😊

Whatever the weather, the invitation is to take some time to embrace this full moon's magical energy of renewal and rebirth, and surrender to the changes coming your way. Go with the flow and welcome the new beginnings in your life.

Drop into your power and inner wisdom; allow yourself to stand strong amidst the changes and use this time period for personal growth and transformation.

May the light of the Pink Moon gracefully guide your next steps into the new. 🌸

How are you experiencing the full moon's energies so far? 🌕

Thank you Javardh for your beautiful picture on Unsplash. 🙏

“How can we deal with the chaos that inevitably infects our lives? Perhaps more to the point, should we learn how to deal with it at all? Shouldn’t we strive to eliminate it? Isn’t chaos a sign that things have gone terribly wrong?” And what did Jung mean when he said, “Man needs difficulties, they are necessary for his health.”
“In the quest to control our lives, perhaps we lost track of an essential truth about our nature. The truth that chaos moves us from the security of the known to the limitless potential for being. Chaos opens us up, unlocks us, builds empathy, helps us relate to others, transforms us and helps us transcend. When you understand that, life becomes a dynamic in which you participate, rather than a determinant that you must endure. The choices, as always, is up to you.”
