Moon in Scorpio, Sun in Pisces ~ Surrender and find the strength needed to persevere on this journey: Weekly Yoga Love

I'm enjoying a relaxing Sunday morning at home watching 'Star Wars: Attack of the Clones'  and finding inspiration and wisdom in its characters and storyline on finding balance between the dark and light aspects within ourselves as we continue to grow in this ever-changing journey of life. As the Moon continues to wane in Scorpio, the sign symbolic of overcoming these shadowy corners within ourselves, and with the Sun in the watery and dreamy sign of Pisces, we have the potential to face our fears with strength and perseverance. 

"Train yourself to let go of everything you fear to lose." ~ Yoda

The shadow is a fearful place when we don't have faith. When we face our fears, however, and learn to express what others don't want to hear, we begin to see that the light of truth is everywhere, including within ourselves. 

The courage we find to express ourselves, even when we risk support and love, allows us to free ourselves of our fear of abandonment. There is no need to keep others in illusion - illusion blocks the light. 

"The dark side clouds everything. Impossible to see the future is." ~ Yoda 

The path of spirit is not linear; it goes up and down. Remember highs and lows are connected and if we can't fall into the shadow, we won't be able to soar. Our higher purpose wants to emerge, but it will have to do battle with our ego. 

The wisdom in pain comes when we realize that our spirit never suffers, it's our ego that feels pain. Once the soul can accept suffering as part of life, it is able to accept its emotions. 

"Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering." ~ Yoda 

When our spirit takes us beyond pain and let's us taste the world of genius, imagination, and universal truths, we will never be stripped by it again. All the soul needs is a taste for these flavors and the pleasures of the world diminish. We know that there is a force greater than ourselves. 

"You will know the good from the bad when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack." ~ Yoda

With this awareness comes the consciousness that we are all connected and that what happens to another affects our own life, or the lives of our youth. 

It's time to readjust the goal and add a purpose. Giving back is the greatest joy of all. We are assuring that what we've learned and gleaned from life will not be lost; instead it will be passed on. 

"Always pass on what you have learned." ~ Yoda

A New Moon happens once a month when the Sun and Moon touch each other. It’s a great time for new beginnings of any sort.  It’s also the perfect time to set intentions for ourselves. Putting our intentions out there can sometimes manifest into bigger and better things. Sometimes when we ask – we will receive within 6 months time, and at the time of the Full Moon, we can really gauge and assess whether or not what we started was beneficial for us.  Even if it doesn’t go the way we planned, the process itself can be beneficial so we mustn't don’t let fear of the end result deter us. 

The upcoming New Moon is meeting up with the Sun in the sign of Scorpio, offering up some deeply transformative energy which can be massively evolving as we have been focusing our work inward on what's holding us back in any way from stepping into our highest potential. 

For this New Moon offering we will take a journey into the depths of our souls deepest wounds and karmic ties...we have the power to expand into our divine feminine potential at this time - come, join me on this incredible adventure!!!

During our practice we will invoke Bhuvaneshwari, the Goddess of infinite space, she whose body is the world. I'd like to give you a little introduction to this Divine Goddess so that you each can fully connect with her embrace during our practice together this Monday, 11/9/15, 7-8:30pm at Tucson Yoga - 148 S 4th Avenue. 

Bhuvaneshwari is both earth mother and sky mother. She is not just one-half of the mythological dualism that equates spirit to masculine and matter with feminine. She is all; nondual. She is the source of whatever emerges from the earth. She is not only the space that extends outward and up, she's also the space within, the space that extends downward into the depths of the earth and the depths of the heart. 

"Vast as the universe is the tiny space within the heart. The heavens and earth are there, and the sun and moon and stars. Fire and lightening and wind are there, and all that now exists, and all that is not." 

Bhuvaneshwari is shunya - the void. But she is also described as purna - or fullness. Just as all numbers are potentially present in zero, all that could possibly exist is potential in the void. Shunya is empty yet full. Akasha is space between that has no beginning or end, which contains all potentiality. Everything begins and ends in it. 

Though Bhuvaneshwari IS the source of matter, though she IS the matrix, though she IS the goddess as Maya - the cosmic measurer who deludes and traps us into seeing matter as separate from spirit - she IS also a portal back into nonduality. 

The madhya - the center - is the gap between one activity and another. Like the still point where a pendulum stops before gathering energy to swing again, the madhya is an empty space pregnant with power. You find the madhya in the tiny pause between one breath and another. You find it in a mind that pauses between thoughts. Bhuvaneshwari is the "breath inside the breath," - and in time, that nearly invisible, hidden space between the breaths can open, imploding inward, expanding into a spaciousness that is infinite - as large as you are able to conceive, and even larger. You find the Goddess Bhuvaneshwari here, more intimate than your breath.
