Your intuition is calling



Tuesday was a full moon in the sign leo.  For some this day came as a huge relief, ending a period & beginning anew.  For others, this day started an "all wrong" week.  We are influenced greatly by the moon.  The full moon begins a 2 week period of internalizing, re-connecting with spirit.  Those who embrace and allow themselves to slow down & connect with their intuitive self, feel a relief at this time.  Those who don't allow the internal connection & try to separate it have a hard time right now.  The theme for these 2 weeks is leo ruled, so we know that we will be dealing with matters of the heart (which is what leo rules).  So our intuitive self is asking us to look at how we love (selfishly or selflessly).  If you are one who is feeling better this week than you have been in the last couple of weeks, further this good feeling by setting time to meditate & really connect with your spirit (if you haven't been).  If your feeling worse than you have in the last couple of weeks, realize that this is ok.  Realize that it is not easy for you to slow down & listen to your inner self.  Realize you are deeply entrenched in the physical/material world.  See this as a lesson for you to conquer.

Start by taking 3-5 minutes of your day to sit in a quiet place, close your eyes & breathe.  First just watch your breath, meaning focus on your breath, the rise and fall of your belly.  Then, slow down your breathing.  Begin taking a deep breath, fill the belly, then the chest, until you can inhale no more.  Then, slowly exhale your breath first in the chest, then down to your belly, pull your belly in to push out all the air.  Keep doing this till your time is up.

When we slow down the breath we have more control of our minds, we are connecting to our spirit.  When we focus on the belly, we are opening up a doorway to our intuitive self.  Our physical/material world is crumbling around us, we need to connect to our spirit for guidance.  We need to remember, that we are all connected.  Your thoughts and actions effect everyone around you, whether you acknowledge this or not.  This life is no longer about you as a separate self, it is about us a unified being.  Stop being selfish & only thinking of yourself, start living your life knowing your bad mood, ugly thoughts effect us all.
