Dark Moon in Scorpio

Moon Phase: Dark moon in Scorpio

What does it mean: a transformational time, major change, dramatic endings, magnificent beginnings.  It is a resurrection. Far better things are coming fast, trust. Purge and clear out the old to make way for the new.

The Scorpio moon is about rebirth, resetting, and starting anew. Cast off what no longer serves or resonates. Releasing bad habits, stale energy, beliefs that are no longer assisting us, people that bring us to a place of negative thoughts. Welcome new energies. Begin now to set your intentions for radiant good health on all levels - physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.

Open yourself to these changes, there is nothing to fear. Magical workings for this time would be cleansings of whatever type you like - smudging, baths, physical detox on a gentle level; removing blockages, opening to change.

This doesn’t mean we have to be positive all the time. Feel your feelings, process, and release.

Affirmation for Scorpio Dark Moon: I embrace the beginnings that are coming to me. I have the power to shape my reality. I have the ability to manifest miracles. 

Upcoming: Mercury Retrograde, November 16th thru December 6th, 2018. This will be a good time to look back on issues you are not sure about.

Blessing dark and deep!

I felt, after yesterday's oracle, that this was the perfect follow-up for this week's affirmation. As I am facing a bit of challenge right now, I have a great deal of support. One friend told me, I MUST believe absolutely that all is well. And so I do... or I am working at it the best I can.

All is well in my world.

Weekly Affirmation

I am open to awakening and healing for my highest good.

copyright 2011, E A Kaufman

Most of us just assume that we are open to whatever is for our highest good. Have you ever considered what "highest good" means? Have you considered that "highest good" is not always in line with what we want or desire? When you think about, it can be pretty complex.

When I use that term, "highest good," I always have a pinch of hesitation, because I am completely aware of the meaning. I may need to be ripped apart and sewn back together to achieve it, not a pleasant experience, but it will serve me. I know it might not be fun, in fact it could be really a difficult process. I have to consider if I really am open to it.

So... before you use this one, think about what you may go through to get to that highest good (whatever that may be) and whether or not you are ready, willing, and able. Then,, make an adjustment, if necessary. I am open to awakening and healing for my highest good, but slowly and easily. Then again, some of us just want to do this; for those, the addition of, fastening my seat belt and ready for the wild ride, would be appropriate. ; )

The bottom line, though, is that our highest good really is what we need to achieve, what really is worth the struggle.

Blessings nice!

Weekly Affirmation

I look at my whole self, seeing and gathering all the patchwork pieces that make me who I am and embrace them with love and acceptance. I stitch them together into a beautiful whole being.

Affirmations are like planting seeds of reassurance, allowing us to speak to ourselves with love, turning the "Other" that lives inside us, she who doesn't support us, off. When we use positive affirmations it will begin a rewiring, so to speak. This rewiring quiets the "Other" and gives her what will bring her together with us as a supportive and loving part of our being. We need to love ourselves, we need to support and encourage ourselves, we need to be whole. No one can do this for us, we must do it, and we can. As Mary Marzo says, we are the ones we have been waiting for. 

Blessings nine!

Weekly Affirmation

I take my power and reach, with joy and self-knowledge, for my highest purpose. 

- E A Kaufman

State this affirmation at least nine times once a day, more if you feel so inclined. The purpose of stating it repeatedly is to allow it to become part of your core belief system. 

In your heart, at its deepest center, you know what you want, what is healthy for you. This affirmation may vey well be the assistance to bring that desire into being. You have the ability to make it so.

Blessings nine!

Positive & Negative Thinking

Stay in a positive frame of mind; think only positive thoughts; don't say or think negative thoughts; if you think a negative thought, immediately restate it in the positive. Have you heard any of these? A lot of this is from the Law of Attraction mentality. There's nothing wrong with that, but... does it really serve us as much as most think? Or is it just another way of pushing down or repressing what we don't want to deal with?

In my capacity as a spiritual advisor and teacher, I advise staying positive all the time, or at least as much as one can. Yes, I am aware how hard that can be, I have my own demons to wrestle. I do feel that wallowing in the negative is unhealthy, but after reading what I am about to share, it has made me think that contemplation and acknowledgement of the negative may be more useful and healthier.

I just began reading Tarot and the Chakras, Opening New Dimensions to Healers by Miriam Jacobs, so although I can't really review the book, the following paragraph gave me much food for thought:

"The power of positive thinking has its merits, but how can thinking only be positive? It is better to realize that no situation, no matter how difficult or complicated, lasts forever. And it is very important to realize that any charged emotion associated with difficulties, past or present, can be released. Negative thoughts tend to accumulate and stagnate the flow of air. It is like a stuffy room or strong winds. They can affect our emotions, and our physical body as well. In order to change negative thoughts, it is important to be aware of what the thoughts are connected to and find a way to accept them before attempting to do anything about them.  There is great value in differentiating among your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations. This is best done by simply being present, rather than by judging or over-thinking. In energetic terms, that suggests a state of stillness and peaceful acceptance. After acceptance, change can happen. The charge of counterproductive thoughts, feelings, or physical sensations can be released, transformed, and healed."

Well, that is a lot different than just restating the issue in the positive. Exploration of the why, where "it" comes from are really important for full healing. But... there are some things we may never be able to figure out the whys and wherefores of - past life issues, other issues no amount of exploration can find. That's OK, as long as we don't bury it by putting on a happy face and pretending all is well in our life when it isn't. Acknowledgement is key, I think, not just stating those affirmations.

I'm a great one for over-thinking, so maybe I'm over-thinking this issue. It sure does strike a chord for me, though. I still don't advocate wallowing in one's misery - we've already experienced whatever trauma has led to these feelings, but we're still here, we're still OK... for the most part.

Thoughts? I love to know what others feel, think about this. Not sure I clearly articulated how this made me think, but it has my brain going!

Blessings dam and deep.
