Give It A Rest!

We are in a most exciting time, and not one of us is here on the planet by accident.  Not only is it the end of a great world age, it is the beginning of an age that is new to all life, new to the cosmos and new to humanity.  The old orders are disintegrating, with new order emerging.  A powerful time! 

Every one of us has chosen this time.  And why would we have done that?  To spend a life making a living?  To live in depression, or in any state that is less than our full potential?  NO.

There is a flow, a movement of...Something.   How can we awaken ourselves to what that 'Something' is?  

Start with Nature. Have you noticed that Nature always thrives?

In answer to their constant questions as to what Heaven is like, Jesus advised the disciples to look at the order and perfection in Nature and her cycles.  One thing always emerges from another, according to a design, a pattern. By attuning to this natural flow we can best order our own lives.

Moon Cycles: Nature's Calendar for Success  -- Right now, as of this writing, December 13, 2012, we are in ‘new moon’, where the seeming absence of the moon indicates a stilling of the earth’s rhythms.  All Nature rests during this span of 3 days when we too should be at rest.  Choosing NOT to rest during this naturally restorative time leads our bodies to burnout.  For we are Spirit Beings and the body we wear is subject to earth's natural rhythms.  To put all aside and take time for ourselves will pay out much bigger than we know.  And, consequently, not to do so, will take its toll.

So accept the gift of rest and renewal during ‘new moon’.  Use this time to mindmap the ideas you would like to bring forth in your life, whether a new job, a new health regime-- whatever it is that you would like to bring forth.  Work with the natural rhythms as shone us in the stages of the moon.

After 3 days of rest and planning in the new moon stage,  notice that new ideas naturally start to show up.  From new until full moon is action time.  Concentrate energy and effort into ‘bringing things to a boil’, with all aspects of planning, launching your idea and projects.  

Then, just after the full moon, shift into a stage of tending to the responsive activity that will naturally occur, having been set into motion with your pre-full moon efforts.

By the last stage of the moon cycle, you will see resolution and results for your efforts, and things will subside into stillness with a new moon again.  Then it will be time to let things gel, give it all a rest, gathering energy for the next ‘wave’ of activity.

Even though long -term projects will require more than one cycle to accomplish the desired end result, your job is to keep your goal foremost in your mind, and work with the design in Natural Order, rather than fruitlessly against it.  You will indeed see the thing done.  

Or, you may find that, "Hmmm, it’s not what I wanted after all." But the activity you’ve stirred up will lead to "this, or something better."

The nonstop clamor of daytime demands numbs our minds to the 'still small voice within.' Many of us are being ‘awakened’ (in the wee hours, perhaps?) to sense the stirring deep within, a desire for change, for expansion, for more of that which fulfills our true Being.  In that each of us has chosen to be here at this exciting time, something must be wanting to express in a fuller manner, and these wee hour wake up calls are the best way for the Voice to get us to listen to that which gives us Inner Direction.

In that the accelerated movement of Everything-That-Is is caught up in this cosmic shift of our star system, it behooves us to pay attention, ordering our own life activity in accord.   What is it that is stirring within?  That of the Divine is seeking its greater expression through you. Use these wee hour awakenings to tune in and perhaps journal, or pray for direction and guidance.  Then notice what starts showing up in your life.

We are told, “Lo, it is the Father’s pleasure to GIVE you the kingdom.” But ya gotta ask!  I invite you to claim the gifts in natural cycles: REST.  And may you be happy and fulfilled.  

Namaste!
