Libra Full Moon
Reflections and channeled insights…
2 days ago, while ascending California via the coastal route, I was blessed by the natural world! I saw breathtaking views of different regions: coves adorned by the fine mist of sea spray, morning glory lined sandy trails, and several rainbow portals in the sky—vertical technicolor chunks hidden amidst a sea of irregularly shaped clouds. One happened at sunset, which was just mind boggling.
That day was the start of this full moon’s potent window! It was officially at peak full moon around 11am PST yesterday (4/16) at which point I cried for the first time in a little while…without knowing until after the fact that the moon was at its strongest then.
It has been intense, to say the least. A full, polar spectrum. As effervescent as the highs have been, the lows have been burdened by feelings of grief and sorrow.
All emotions are energy that is moving through our vessels. It is our job as human psycho-emotional ninja’s, to channel these emotions through our various tissues and out into the world.
And as artists (which we ALL are), we are able to release some or all of these extreme emotions by creating and releasing the gifts born of our authentic/genuine experience into the world. Art’s highest form inspires catharsis…human connection allowing for and helping to deliver the emotional expression and thus HEALING of another being.
For me, as you might imagine, one of my prime methods of emotional extraction is music! For you, it may be painting, ocean sitting, dancing, spoken word, writing, yoga, etc etc etc. Art is the Key to our Healing and our connection to our higher-selves is apparent in our creative expression.
In my opinion, likely heavily influenced by one of my favorite teachers/authors, Julia Cameron of “The Artist’s Way”, God IS this creative expression. And in my belief, God is every entity ascribed the name of God (Goddess, mother/father/brother/sister God, Divine Consciousness, Collective Consciousness, Source Energy, Prana, Qi….) It is that which animates and brings life to our (and the rest of the natural worlds’) forms. This “God” energy is the divinely channeled, pure light of truth. It is the cry that comes and turns into song while mourning the loss of love; it is the laugh that escapes and writes itself into an amusing story; it is the way we transmute and transform our experiences of this world into a tool of contextualization and meaning-making for self and other.
To use an anology that’s coming to mind: we are the paint brush; “God” is the ink. We serve and honor that which enables us to be here, conscious and creating, by being guided to dip our brushes into the pots of color, and add our hued brush-strokes of perspective to the sacred, collective mural. It will only ever be complete when each individual shares their truth: shares their art.
I’m excited to keep deepening my ocean of experience and getting braver at bringing my total honest perspective to myself and thus you…
And I know I am excited to see what kinds of art your treasured perspective will bring to the world!
May we all serve to uplift and heal each other through our thorough processing of any hurts, neglects, so that we may be more fully ready to LOVE! Starting with the self….and spreading out from there!
Nothing’s more contagious than an open heart…and a smile. And when you share your truth, you embolden others to do the same.
Be well!
Love,
