Love Anyway

Love Anyway

This is a time when many planets and star systems in the celestial realms reach down and touch the earth. Right now, as I write this, the Moon is travelling close to the Earth and prepares to pass through her shadow causing a full moon eclipse, resulting in an internal shift for some. While this is occurring, the Moon sits in the sign of Virgo whichis ruled by Mercury, and Mercury begins the opportunity to travel back in time to explore shadow and more unconscious (possibly positive) imprints that may be still influencing you or may be ready to be awakened.

This is a time to clarify and fine-tune events that are already occurring in your life, focusing on the finite action you can take today in present time toward your dreaming, rather than taking big leaps into the unknown. You are encouraged to raise awareness of your conscious and unconscious communication with yourself and others, considering any thoughts that trigger emotional frequencies and how these contribute to further manifestation.It feels inevitable that this eclipse, along with the Virgo full moon, Mercury and Venus in retrograde and other significant celestial line ups, will have their expected influence on our World Below. You can find out more about this full moon and eclipse in my Shamanic Moon Mandala Wisdom post on my website.

I chose the theme “Love Anyway” for this article in response to the magnitude of the relationship between planets and star systems and their potential influence of the World Below. Some of you will have journeyed with me through recent flooding of the land in South East Queensland, Australia, and there have been many other unexpected events across the world of late. While waiting for several days for the cyclone Alfred to appear, the mass population in the range of the cyclone were busy locking down their homes and business.

In more metaphysical cohorts, there were lots of people praying to the weather gods and goddesses and pleading to Mother Nature to take a more gentle journey inland with her cyclonic winds and waters. While many were hit hard, there was huge sigh of relief when there was a shift from a 3 to a 2 category. These hard times were predicted by some expert astrologists who intricately understand how the planetary and star systems work, and they were spot on! Now we are guided by them to take care under this current shift in the sky.

• Care to filter your mind and communicate through a compassionate and thoughtful heart - to love anyway.

• Care to take time to do your inner work and take responsibility for your actions and reactions. Care to sit in the sun and soak up healing rays and listen to waves and whispers of wisdom.

• Care to create and commit to daily practices, to support your spirit, body, heart and mind, to build resilience and inner strength and heal old wounds and transform old ways before setting out into new ventures.

In 2007 I travelled to undertake advanced shamanic studies in the Big Island of Hawaii and while there I was blessed to open up a channel of consciousness that allowed me to communicate with a guide called Master Po. Over the months that followed I  downloaded a number of  blessings in Hawaiian language which when translated to English, with the assistance of a wonderful dictionary, meant a great deal to me and the circumstances I was in at the time. After more than two years of daily connection with Master Po and this ancient language that is connected to the original celestial tribe of Mu, I was blessed to receive the gift of The 8 Ways, shamanic guidelines for walking consciously and confidently in the world. One of these Ways, the 6^th Way, has become a major focus for me and can be very helpful I believe to help navigate the star-energies playing our above us at this time. The following is the wisdom of The 6^th Way:

Hāmama Pu'uwai – Open Your Heart. Keep your heart open, no matter the circumstances. (Hāmama – to open; Pu'uwai – heart). 

Resilience is a great quality to have in order to stay in a place of power by bouncing back quickly after being triggered (into energetic imprints holding memories and limiting beliefs from past wounds). This way brings you back to the truth of who you are and you are more able to recover your power, and discern what is ok and what is crossing boundaries.

When you discover how not to shut your heart down through fear, blame, shame, and grief, your whole world will open up.

No longer trapped in the stories of your Wounded Heart, your True Heart, a blue print of your true potential gifted to you in conception, reveals the Truth of who you are and is re-activated fully, freeing you to walk strongly on new and restorative pathways. 

During this Full Moon Eclipse in Virgo, which is ruled by the planet Mercury whichi s also going retrograde, the focus is on developing a healthy mind and practicing clear and compassionate communication. The 6^th Way, Hāmama Pu'uwai, can assist you greatly in understanding how and why you do well to keep your heart open and Love Anyway, no matter the circumstances. You are guided to shine your light fully to illuminate and transform any unhealthy shadow aspects and prepared to let go of anything holding you back from shining your full radiance. Some tips to help with this:

• Identify and surrender or transform limiting beliefs, your own and those of your ancestors, those from other life-times, and beliefs from the culture you are brought up in that may not support your values today.

• Deepen your intuition and balance aggressive and dominating yang frequencies at play in political and culture-clashing arenas by tuning into the way of the Sacred Feminine, turning to major feminine role models and archetypes of this and other worlds to assist you to fully activate your creative energies in the right side of your brain and heart.

• Pull cords, releasing ties to those who bind you to a standstill - family members, friends, leaders and influencers who are out of alignment with your new way walking. This includes media gurus addicted to a-one-side of the coin reality that does not include the principles of universal, love, light, peace and unity that you may wish to live, love and lead by.

It is time to step fully into love, tempering your triggers that are addicted to reacting unconsciously to events out of your control. A time where you consciously measure energy that is coming into and leaving your field and making firm decisions to keep a healthy balance at all times in the energetic fields of your heart, mind, spirit and body. Having said that, while this is all very well in theory the test comes when you are under pressure. It is during such times you have the opportunity to radically change patterns and forge new neural pathways that can make life so much easier as you learn to flow around anything that attempts to block your path. You can witness old patterns within your personal eclipse (the shadow) now be fully illuminated and transformed by loving anyway – no matter what - Hāmama Pu'uwai. In our upcoming retreat in April we share shamanic process to assist you to learn powerful ways to do this.
