The Healing Space

🌖🙌🤩♥️

🌖 🌚 🌒 🌙 🌝 🌓 🌘 This is a very interesting Full Moon. For a start, it’s taking place in the sign of Virgo, which is the most helpful sign of the zodiac. It’s the sign that likes to tick all the boxes, dot all the i’s, and cross all the t’s. In the zodiac, Virgo sits opposite dreamy and lofty Pisces.

So, right now, the Sun’s in Pisces, opposite the sign of Virgo. On top of that, during a Full Moon, there’s always already a push‐me‐pull‐you kind of feeling because the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the zodiac. So, if you’re feeling a little conflicted, now you know why.

Ahead of the Full Moon, remember that it’s what we do at this time that really makes a difference when it comes to our levels of manifestation.

This is because, during the Full Moon, we can most easily release our anxieties and other upsets into the ethers. And once we release dramas and conflicts from the past, we increase our ability to manifest. In effect, we’re ditching the emotional baggage that tends to weigh us down.

This Full Moon is a particularly good time to learn anything, including how to master manifestation. It’s taking place just near Saturn, the headmaster of the zodiac. So, if you still don’t understand why the Full Moon is so crucial to manifesting, please read the last paragraph another time!

Even though Saturn’s bringing a slightly heavy energy to this Full Moon, note that the planetary alignments that follow shortly after the Full Moon are upbeat to the point of being a little too much. Keep smiling! - Yasmin Boland, from the 2024 Moonology Diary

I used to think that friends were the people who unconditionally comforted you when you felt wronged, showed up for you when you needed them, and joined you in righteous indignation when you felt hurt.
I thought friends would be unconditional cheerleaders, and you would always feel better after being with a friend.
But lately, I've realized that my most valuable friends are the ones that stand for my soul, even when that means saying something my ego doesn't want to hear.

When a friend stands for your soul, she holds you accountable to your highest potential and expects you to do the same for her. When a friend stands for your soul, she understands how your ego operates- and loves and accepts you in spite of- even because of- what she knows. But she doesn't sit by complacently when she watches you create your own suffering. She calls you on it lovingly and pushes you in the direction of your highest self.

When a friend stands for your soul, she holds and comforts you when you feel wronged, but she doesn't engage in story fondling with you. As soon as you feel strong enough, she reminds you that it's time to end your pity party and be in the solution. She even helps you find meaning in whatever left you feeling hurt or angry because she knows even tragedies aren't random, that life is purposeful, even when it's hard.

When a friend stands for your soul, she's willing to say what others won't, the things people might be whispering behind your back because they don't love you enough to say it to your face. But she never intends to be critical, and she’s never mean. She is wind beneath your wings, helping to lift you higher, and she trusts that you will give her the same gift.

When a friends stands for your soul, she might even leave the relationship, because she has been patient as she watches you choose your small self over your larger self- again and again.
At some point, she can't be true to her own soul unless you share the same commitment to trying to live in alignment with yours.
Standing for your soul might require tough love.
But the invitation is always there.
She will be steadfast in standing for your soul, even as you stray off your path.
She will still be there for you when you're finally ready to accept the invitation to come home to
Who You Really Are.

Standing for the soul of a friend isn't easy.
It requires uncomfortable conversations.
It would be easier to just say yes to your friend's ego.
But when a friend unconditionally loves you and stands for your soul, it takes courage.
It can be disruptive. There might be tears and hurt feelings.
But a friend stands for your soul with great love and gentleness, even as she says what you don't want to hear.
Real friends don't judge.
They elevate you while they illuminate the parts of you that you hoped they'd never discover.

It's all worth it though, because these soul friends help you grow, and they invite you to grow with them.
They are your guiding lights during dark nights of the soul, taking you by the hand and returning you to yourself.
They cheer with you when you make difficult choices while standing for your own soul.
These relationships are dynamic, ever-changing, ever-upleveling, ever-celebrating the magnificence of who you are becoming on your spiritual path.
These friends are the guideposts leading you to freedom, and they enjoy the journey with you.
They laugh with you, dance with you, gaze at the heavens with you, and revel in sunsets with you.
They get quiet with you.
They listen to your vulnerable stories and tell you theirs.
They keep the heart open with you, and in the communion of two open hearts, you find connection, belonging, vitality, and joy. If you're lucky, they even bring chocolate.

Do you have friends brave enough to stand for your soul?
Do you stand for the souls of your friends ?

HOME | The Healing Space "Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." -Rumi

Feel the aliveness in the stillness from within (paraphrased from Tara Brach) 🙏🏽💗🌊 ☮️

There is abundance in stillness. Stillness isn’t a place of void or nothingness. In stillness we can hear our heartbeat, hear the gentle whispers of our soul, feel the presence of unconditional love, and so much more!

What do you notice as you pause in stillness?

Our very nature is to open and bloom. As a young child, the mind is naturally curious with awe and wonder. Along the way criticism, neglect, or abuse interrupts this natural development to explore and ponder. The good news is you can begin again, by bringing mindfulness and compassion into your life you can heal the wounds and restart your healthy development! As you allow more compassion and kindness into your mind and heart a new sense of wonder returns. Being curious with yourself and others softens harshness and nurtures the body, mind, and spirit. 💗🙏🏽💗

What are your thoughts of the terms victim or victimization?

Here are some thoughts I have come up with....

Perhaps the natural progression is to first identify that I am a “victim.” I was victimized by a perpetrator, I did not ask for this, it is not my fault, and I am not to blame.

The second stage is identifying that I am a “survivor.” I am working on integrating what happened to me, I am working on healing, and I am actively moving forward from this trauma in my life.

The third stage is I am a “conqueror.” I have walked through the stages of healing I have regained what was lost, I advocate for myself and others, and I am no longer living in a constant state of shock. I may be triggered at times but I ask for help and I nurture myself as needed.

What is the heart? A flower opening.

There is a certain kind of magic that happens when calling upon the moon’s energy.

When we share in that energy with others...in sacred circle, in ritual, in being vunerable, opening ourselves up to release and receive. What occurs is a deeper, authentically soulful, & spiritual connection to ourselves, the Divine, each other, Mother Earth & her the elements.

It was an honor and a blessing to share sacred space with the women that attended last nights Lunar/Manifestation/Healing Series.

Thank you for showing up for yourselves ❤️

In love and light

How is everyone feeling since the session. Anything you would like to share?

Today we gathered together in community meditation, led by
Lynn Bos.

This poem reminds me of some of the messages received in the teaching and meditation. As we take each step on this life journey we find fears dissolve and are reminded again and again that everything will be okay. Whether we are climbing a difficult path, flowing over a waterfall, or moving boulders we are surrounded by support and unconditional love.

If you would like to attend next month’s meditation contact Sacred Healing Journey. You won’t want to miss this lovely time to connect with kind souls. 🙏🏽💖🙏🏽

Much Love,

Libra Full Moon in Aries is the first full moon of the Zodiac year, setting the lunar agendas and mystical themes for the year ahead!

Mystical energies are being ushered in at the time of this full moon!
Whatever difficulties you're in the midst of deciphering … now is the time to allow your ego to let go and trust your higher self to guide you intuitively.

Trust that the difficulties of this time are triggering an initiation process for you which is bringing you closer to the light of your soul, strengthening alignment with your true path. Allow yourself to be re-imagined!

A powerful full moon circle was held last night at The Healing Space in honor of this very special first lunation of this new zodiac year. It is true that ceremony ushers us into the realm of the non-ordinary! The energy of the room was already filled with Reiki & Prayer, but when we stood together and ceremoniously called in the ancient energies of The Four Directions, the energies coursing through us and around us were intensified in such a way ~ it felt clear that we were stepping into a multi-dimensional space. A time out of time and space out of space. Grateful to be a part of these circles, Lunar Manifestation Series; and grateful to each soul called forth to join in sacred circle in this way, at this time, for the evolution of our souls!

What if we viewed ourselves from a place of allowing, acceptance, and Compassion?

Standing in front of my mirror I see a beautiful soul who is loved, enough, and perfect just as she/he is!

🙏🏽💖🙏🏽

Stress is an inevitable part of life. How we respond to it is where our power lies. Once the stress response has been activated we need completion.

Trigger
A stress reaction
Release (completion)

There are many ways to complete the stress response: crying, exercising, journaling, therapy, compassionate turning towards our suffering, and so much more.

What are some ways you complete the cycle?

When I make peace at the center and core of my being, this is the same peace at the center of the Universe.” (Paraphrased from Come As You Are)

Wow! Have you experienced this peace before?

If so, please feel free to share your experiences...

Are you journeying closer to this peace? Feel free to share....
