Today's New Moon ushers in a time of Inner Work & Personal Transformation. The time period between this new moon & the next encourages us to let go of those things that do not support the newness in our lives. This may mean that we need to let go of friends or work, certainly of old, limiting expressions of self. We are all being invited to go into the depths of ourselves & uncover & reclaim our inner riches. Our attention is naturally directed inward, to the life that is below the surface of our current reality. Here are some tips on how to live with ease & grace: Engage in self-inquiry or hire a life coach to help with inquiry. This will help in observing negative thinking patterns & to clarify when they are triggered. Examine underlying beliefs behind feelings, especially those of sadness, confusion & anger. Differentiate between the needs of ego & soul. Work on changing self instead of changing others. Own your projections (those unhealed aspects of self that we project as beliefs onto others). Assume responsibility for your own life; your own happiness. Increase faith so fears diminish. Love self & others unconditionally. Affirm: "I love myself just as I am & I'm open to being even better." Update your plan to go forward in life. Re-commit to your goals. Meditate. Spend time in nature. Close your eyes & imagine that you are standing at a gate to greater wel-being. Affirm "I am ready to enter this Greater Gate. Guide me thru with ease & grace." Take some time over the next 2 - 3 days to review, reflect & integrate the life lessons that you have experienced over the last several years.
