This New Moon, the last one of the year, brings festivals, celebrations
and special times across the globe. We see the moment of the Solstice
? Summer or Winter Solstice, the longest or the shortest day of the year
depending on where you live. We see Hanukah, Christmas, Diwali, Kwanzaa
and the completion of another solar year. At Moon Meditations we honor
all paths and all expressions of spirit. Across these different traditions,
we see a strong desire to connect with our spirituality and to honor the
natural world around us at this time of year.
Why is it then, that in the Western culture and perhaps elsewhere too,
there is such a strong pull to the material world, to rushing and doing
rather than being? Just when our souls are longing for connection with
the divine, for the quiet beauty that surrounds us, we find ourselves
in a spin that pulls us away from those very things. Maybe this is a special
time of intensity, where those conflicts are particularly strong just
to show us our choices. Maybe the challenge of these times is to stay
connected, grateful and respectful when the forces of separation and disconnection
are pronounced.
Let us allow ourselves the luxury of what our souls are longing for. Let
us give ourselves the blessing of quietness and reflection. Let us find
within ourselves that place of stillness, where everything is perfect
just as it is. Let us allow ourselves to love ourselves unreservedly,
and open the gateways to divine expression. Let us find the time to listen
to the quiet voice of wisdom, wherever it comes from. Let us rededicate
ourselves to our highest spiritual purpose, to the expression of our soul.
Let us open our hearts to others beyond what we have ever thought possible.
Let us allow love to flow through us, that knows no time, no place or
ending.
Let us come together with our dearest friends and loved ones. We long
for this all year. The time is now. From Moon Meditations we send out
our deepest love and appreciation for all of you who have come to us and
spent time with us in this past year. You have touched and enriched our
lives, even if we have not met or communicated directly. Thank you for
coming to us. Your time is precious, and we value your touch and your
presence. Thank you for making this year such a special one for each of
us. Come again soon, we will share what is brought to us. Come together,
this is the blessing of these sacred times.
