Peaceful and Wrathful

"There is something about modern societies that teaches us to cover up our frailties, teaches that vulnerability is a fault and a sign of weakness instead of a mirror of our own pathway towards enlightenment. Honoring a rite of passage means accepting with a sacred purpose your vulnerabilities as very important and essential places of learning within your soul." Lynn Andrews Coming Full Circle

Recognize Her form? Both the peaceful aspect and the wrathful aspect are present -  in balance. Both can liberate.

 May you walk in balance

Full Moon Shadow

May the light of the Full Moon penetrate deep into the cosmos, even in the darkest spots. 
Carl Jung gave voice to the shadow aspect of the human psyche.  As Pema Chodron explains: "We force ourselves to become actors playing a part because we don't want to admit to any negative elements. We suppress our unwholesome emotions, thereby creating the shadow.  We develop a shadow because we do not want to face up to the more disreputable parts of our psyche-we believe that we are only allowed to acknowledge the light."  By acknowledging all parts of ourselves without "embarrassment or harshness" we can begin to love ourselves and all who inhabit our world.  Perfectionism is not the truth of being human.  Let the light of this Full Moon awaken "who we are right now, and that's what we can make friends with and celebrate." Quotes from The Wisdom of No Escape by Pema Chodron

Welcome Happiness

Welcome happiness

With spacious awareness

"There is nothing we can see or hear or experience that isn't a manifestation of enlightened energy; that isn't a doorway to the Sacred world." Pema Chodron

Is the time ripe for you to embrace the world just as it is?

And welcome happiness.
