The energy of the approaching new moon feels like a great time to embrace the inner energy grid that is unknown, surrender completely to not knowing, being in the dark, just like the moon. Hopefully this surrender allows a new mandala of infinite potential to start emerging gradually, in it's own time, within and around us.

Thank you. Feeling the truth of this. I can relate to wanting freedom, wanting ease, knowing about acceptance, yet not being able to practice it. This article is helping me receive another piece of freedom, being present with what is! This is reminding me of the poem Guesthouse by Rumi. My go to poem when I struggle to be with what is.

Very interesting contemplation and connections with how we are inside and how does it affect us in showing up in the world! Thank you.

Wow. This sounds like something I would like to do. Looking forward to making time for me, for my complaints, for aligning with flow. Thank you.

Mary Oliver touches us so deeply, our inner longings with her words. I love the ending words - 'I feel my boots trying to leave the ground, I feel my heart pumping hard. I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.'

Being in the world is indeed an art. Interesting to see this through the lens of simplicity, through saying no. Taking micro breaks for oneself, to centre oneself is to help restore centre for the world, the piece of the world that held within each one of us. The balance between saying yes, and saying no, I am asking life to teach me.

Love this. I feel as if I am receiving a piece that was missing till now. I am a student of instinctive meditation, based on radiance sutras. To think we give up our radiance for education is mind blowing. To think as babies we are chanting Bija mantras feels wonderful. And the power of listening, being with the heart resonates deeply. I have felt this instinctively that emotions are a gateway to a deeper space in the heart.

I love this part with emphasis on embracing not knowing with openness and curiosity - 'As I acknowledged that I didn’t know and embraced that not knowing, my attitude transformed from defensiveness into openness and curiosity. I didn’t realize it at the time, but that moment was my first genuine experience of humility.' It feels much needed coming upto the solar eclipse, an invitation for new beginnings. To be able to wish and welcome the new with openness and curiosity feels sublime. Thank you

This morning on waking up, I was able to realise, through some grace, that my first thoughts were about doing, about what has not been done. In that moment of perhaps being able to observe my thoughts, gratitude came, gratitude for being alive, for being able to wake up, gratitude for this day. And gratitude helps me connect with the wisdom of the heart to be able to welcome the new in the present moment. To wake up to this, and then read this article, makes me marvel at the connections in the collective consciousness. I love such synchronicities.

I struggle to talk in a way that is valued in the society. I used to judge myself for it wishing I could talk like I see others do. Hearing this is incredibly liberating for me. Thanks And the words - There are many voices besides ours - are very expansive.

I love this song. Thanks for sharing. This is reminding me of the mantra - asato ma sadgamaye, tamaso ma jyotirgamaye, mrityorma amritamgamaye

So many gems in this post. "you cannot find the Light until you acknowledge the darkness." 🙏

Such a beautiful story. Perfect for these times where our focus is on material things. To value emptiness as a reminder of our desires feels invaluable. This is reminding me of the zen koan of the Enzo, the circle. Is it empty or whole!

Thanks for sharing this practice. Helps to be in the world.

This reminds me of Leonard Cohen song - anthem. The lyrics - cracks is where light comes in. Beautifully uplifting piece, helps with acceptance of what is and trusting that it can be transmuted. Laughter is indeed light!

Love this new awareness of silence. 🙏

I am deeply touched by this gem in the article - 'I write for anyone who has found themselves, as I have, needing to make sense of what is ending'. This is so timely, with the transformation happening with the eclipses we have just had. With the changes/transformations come endings. I had started to wonder, what am I doing wrong! In this moment I realised, somethings are coming to an end, just as they need to - in perfect alignment with the universal flow. Thank you for this sharing.

Love this. Thank you. Flowing with what is, staying present, welcoming what is, not always easy, but I am open and willing to learn.

With pluto (symbolising transformation) in the sign of Aquarius (symbolising community) being reminded of 'interbeing' feels profound. Thank you for this beautiful reminder. I am not alone, I am always accompanied :) I do not have to struggle alone seems very uplifting in this moment.

I have been wondering about the gift of cold weather and hibernation, going within seems like an obvious answer. Yet I need to be in the world too. So how can I live with this paradox! Yesterday I found myself with my hands on the trunk of an old majestic oak tree, asking it to teach me how to go within and be in the world at this time of the year. To me paradox is an opening for light to come through. The intelligence to move between polarities is inbuilt in us, we do this all the time with our breath, inhaling and exhaling, moving between the inner and outer....
