Butterfly New Moon, August 16, 2023 One situation is in the midst of chaos and the other is in the presence of sheer of joy . It is precisely in these two situations that we tend to “runaway.” Society has trained us to be this way because the feelings are too intense. AUGUST NEW MOON | FROM THE 'tsantí It provides us with an endless list of excuses for personal isolation. Consider this equation: intensity = intimacy. In group situations miracles happen and the element that supplies the magic is one that works repeatedly. The magic is sharing similar experiences. To be safe means not to need protection. To be open and vulnerable, in harmony with our surroundings; in harmony with all of life. We encounter relationships as we go about our daily lives. When we were children, we played together, running alongside through meadows of flowers, bumping, tumbling, laughing, and looking at life through the gentle, big eyes of children. Then we grew, and moved from running alongside, to suddenly out of nowhere , alerted by some silent signal that all understood, one darting ahead, leaping across others to get ahead. A dance of preordained competition stepped in. JOIN US IN THE DANCE >> My family taught me that our everyday lives are very much a ritual of dance - a ceremony of beauty. We are all participating, and simultaneously co-creating our reality. We awaken to the harmony of the moment . Competition is replaced by cooperation, and once again we look through the big eyes of children. Let us stand face to face as we touch one another with our power. There is no demand that we be less than powerful. In fact, evolution invites us to play, to match our power with that of Spirit’s, to explore the far reaches of the imagination, and embrace the infinite possibilities.

This month we begin using our breathwork to stablize>> Gentle Transformation is the Way Look at what took us away from our childhood perspective. We clearly can see that we were taught to feel powerless over the path of our lives. For many years, the center of power was somewhere outside. Power was something out there that had to be seized and manipulated. Lacking a sense of power, feeling the victim, is the source of completion.
