Three Moons of Light

Three Moons of Light, Insight, The Way

Three Moons of Light give direction, insights, and a path to follow. One reminds us that the body is our Partner in our evolution. The second says to Listen to the intuitive voice of Soul, that gives wisdom every day. And the third says to Follow your Desires, your feelings, since those are the offerings of the heart.

First of all, our body is like a Spirit Guide, with instincts born over 1000 lifetimes, that immediately register the good experiences as well as the bad. We’ve all walked into a room and immediately, without any thinking, know when the hair stands up on our bodies, or chills run down our spine, that we should get out fast. These are the long vagus nerves connecting our head with our heart. Plus, they also register when we are in our happy place, and all is truly well. The same reaction happens with people we meet. We’ve known them before, but our body will let us know if this is a friend, or a more complicated figure.

Also, if our body registers pain or discomfort in any way, it’s time to pay attention. We may have created a contract with this body to limit our busy-ness so that we can focus on our creative Soul. Another idea is that pain exists so that we can discover our personal permission slip that will heal us. What miracle is calling to us to show us our divinity and power?

Secondly, we need creative time every day to Listen to the voice of our Soul. We have to discern between the encouraging voice that keeps us moving forward, exploring, and trying new things, versus the negative one that holds us back. The second is afraid to take a chance. Talk to it. Thank it. But say you will be fine trying a new path. For me, one big example is my love to paint and create art.

Three Moons was done in an intuitive way. I didn’t know any more than that the focus was Three Moons. I drew them in, drew oil pastel marks, added a turquoise glaze, and stenciled some things. What great fun! No planning, just paint around the moons. Turning the white canvas into anything is a freeing way to be.

On the other hand, internet marketing is such a downer! I have to listen to my Soul voice that says follow the fun! It may be the ‘logical’ next step, but listen to the inner wisdom.

Doing Art Fairs, selling my art and meeting wonderful people, was so organic. But, it can also be hard and costly. Follow your happy feeling. Maybe find a gallery or shop to sell your work, or set up a table at the local Farmers Market. Teaching your techniques can be great fun to the right people. Always make it fun.

Three Moons of Light call on you to play more.

Thirdly, know that your desires come from the heart. We’re here to experience all that we love. Simplify. Take little steps towards living the life of your dreams every day. Emotions and experiences you choose today, create your tomorrow. The heart always steers you right. Remember, Light is knowing, consciousness, receiving, and Being Spirit in a body. Align your thoughts, heart, body, and Spirit to be in Flow. May the Light of the Three Moons guide your way.

Many Worlds

Many Worlds trigger our imagination. We enter and become a part of these places as all our senses are ignited by the sounds, scents, feel, taste, and sights before our eyes. Science has found that the same areas of the brain light up whether we read about it, see a movie of it, or actually…Continue Reading

Also, Autumn back…Continue Reading
