I first wrote this poem in November 2013. Feeling moved to revisit these comet inspired poetic synchronicities. That was Zen my friend and this is right Tao . . .
The weather underground is akin to the air up there A Full Moon and Comet are coming soon to a theatre near you
What do we do? Well it’s up to you . . .
Surfing the energetic waves rolling into the bay of emotional tides . . .
Do you bear witness to a fading Twilight Zone curtain? (With or without the applications of technology)
An Empire burns while the Cosmic Chakra Wheel in the Sky turns . . .
Peace in the Middle East Peace in the Americas Peace in Africa, China, Tibet, Planet & Universe throughout
We are the Dali Llama We are Malcolm X We are Universal spirits in a material world
Healing our polarity consciousness Integrating our Yin-Yang Twin Flame Soulful feminine Moon and masculine Sun
Tunneling inward into the dark toward the Winter Solstice
And from the ashes a Phoenix Rises – Clearing dust settles with meditation as shelter from the storm
A Full Cold Moon on Sunday, December 15 awakens our ancestral heritage foundation of pre-colonization American history and Celtic culture.
Not long after that, it will be the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere on December 21st. This is the darkest day of the year on this half of the planet.
In much the same way as our ancestors did; we are given the opportunity to meditate on coaxing back the light because every day will show a little more daylight till light and dark are equal again on the Spring Equinox in later March 2025.
In the Southern Hemisphere, it will be their Summer Solstice or the peak amount of daylight there. And then their days will be getting shorter till the arrival of their Autumn Equinox, where light and dark will be equal again.
This Full Moon aka Gemini Full Moon also represents a powerful point of completion and endings. This is the perfect time to set intentions for anything we might wish to leave behind and let go of as we move into 2025.
Taoism and ancient Chinese culture reveal that digesting bitter is an age old mantra; especially during this Bitter Full Moon. Bitter doesn’t taste good, nor does the experience of digesting bitter feel good.
Like the commercialized long, drawn out American election season; special interests spend mad money on propping up candidates backed by big money and the mega rich. Who payin’ you?
Just imagine the possibilities when we pour the bulk of those resources into the the well being of our planet, humanity and all sentient beings . . .
The dying old paradigm is hard to stomach and sit with. If we aren’t attending to our mental health and spirits, then our souls can fade and remain easily traumatized and triggered. Everything feels personal from that experience.
In the Northern Hemisphere, darker days align with a yin-ward focus. Coming down in our souls aligns with the spirit of the season and will harmonize with all creation.
Time to go within our inner dens and visit the dream lodges during winter’s death cycle.
Tis the season to slow down, get more sleep, rest, journal, meditate and play around with lucid dreaming.
The reason we say Happy Holidays is that there are so many cultural celebrations that honor spirit at this time of year.
And yet, the emphasis on consumerism, shopping and the cultural norm of being up all the time. But it isn’t natural with a time where we are meant to come down into our souls and gather with each other with festive vibes.
Mercury in Retrograde continues till December 25th. As always, we can expect more spacing out, mental fog, compromised left brained cognitions, and machines behaving badly more than usual during this time.
Might as well take it easy and prioritize self-care while surfing these Yule tidings, if you’ll pardon the seasonal pun.
Mindfulness is not about polyanna or looking at life thlough rose-colored glasses. It’s about where we put the spotlight of awareness.
Focusing on positive self-talk is far more supportive and empowering than getting sucked into negative self-talk stories and learned helplessness.
Last year, it was the year of the Dragon.
As you reflect back on the last year- what awakenings did you notice with relation to self-love and empowerment by tapping into your inner royal and power?
According to the Chinese Lunar calendar, it will be the year of the Snake on January 29th, 2025. From this perspective; an awakening of wisdom and elegance will take place because the energy of Snake symbolizes transformation and adaptability.
Snake will be an important spirit guide to help us move further into the throes of Climate Change; as well as effectively transition from a dying old world into a New Age and Paradigm.
