A special post from a good friend – Sevak!
Dear Friends,
Please take a moment to consider what is happening and how it affects your life. This week is a unique opportunity to complete long term changes and worries or illnesses. The heavens have given us a chance to end old cycles and start fresh with a new outlook in a new orbit.
The lunar eclipse of last month was a closing of long term cycles which may have brought apparent crisis in our lives. Remember that inside of crisis is opportunity ready to flower. For the next few days we can find clarity and renewed direction as we move into this Sunday’s new moon total solar eclipse. This event is a beginning which may feel difficult or more compressed and pressured however it is the start of a resolution; an issue which has worried or drained you for some time may at first seem worse and then clear, with a successful outcome. It is literally the chance of a lifetime.
This specific astronomical event repeats once every 18 years-11 days and lasts for 5 hours. It is a super new moon with the power to begin a whole new life-cycle. We know that the natural cycle of life for human beings is 18 years, the cycle of intelligence is 11 years and the cycle of consciousness is 7 years. The heavens are literally giving us the added energy and power to focus our sights on where we want to be as conscious beings of light. The light of our minds can direct us toward happiness and gratitude in service to each other OR contraction and increase attachment to our perception of how it should be, not just for us but for everyone.
Here we are at the doorstep of significant change, globally, socially, economically and spiritually. The power of life itself will shake this planet, its institutions, governments, religions, economies and the terra firma itself. Countries and continents will be affected in both subtle and wildly public ways. These disturbing magnetic and cosmic energies are real and they are here; now.
What to do? Now is the time to marshal your resources both physical and spiritual. Apply your mind to focus and stay open to what is happening inside and out. Don’t react to what could have been or should be, stay aware and diligently serve what is right in front of you, right now. Live your purpose with kindness and caring.
Use this simple formula:
P- Precaution – Take all precautions to avoid problems or negative situations.
R- Restraint – Exercise restraint in all actions, mind and senses. Now is not the time for drama.
A- Awareness- You should be aware of every prevailing situation and direct your mind toward elevation.
Y- Yoga – Yoga and meditation is the best way to control mind & senses. Hold a posture of quiet gratitude.
Meditation on God is the best way to be spiritually protected.
We all have independence if we choose to use it. The price we pay for it is an individual matter. For this next week or so take some extra time to direct you resources toward your goals as a conscious and happy human being. Trust God to bless you and you bless all of those around you. Happiness lies in the commitment to remember that You are YOU; a child of God or Nature or whatever you want to call your source. You came from that infinity and will surely return to it. Be grateful for this time on this little blue marble as it is pulled and projected through the great play of Nature. Your mind is vast, your body is feeble and your Soul is invincible. Stay low and appreciate the ride, it will be lively to say the least.
Best Wishes, Blessings and Joy
