How powerful words are! Watch the nomenclature you use, how you name and define yourself and things about yourself, how you label and quality who you are. Do you give yourself limiting labels that hold you back? Do you give yourself names that keep you stuck? Do you tend to place yourself in categories that are not necessarily accurate?

How you see yourself is as important as how you think others see you, but most important of all is the truth. Are you being honest with yourself? Can you face the truth; good or bad, positive or negative? Are you too demeaning or too inflating? Maybe you’ve been avoiding the truth by saying things that are not accurate about the self.

Think before you think! Especially in what you think about the self. It’s time to turn the tides of thought in a new direction. And what you think has power, but you also have more power than you think over what you think. Change your thinking, change yourself!

Look into another’s eyes and learn something about the self. Look into your own eyes, for they too reflect what all others reflect. Reflected back find that which you must struggle with, for all beings are alike in what they fear and what they desire. What greater goal is there than making the ultimate journey to complete revelation and understanding within, taking to heart what you see in those eyes? If you want something, anything, the first step begins with the self. It’s really that simple. Reflect on that!

And remember: “I am not a victim of any force.” -From the Soulman.

What is forgiveness but a reconciliation with the deeper self. For to go through life full of blame and resentment holds you in a pattern of negativity and defeat, clutched by old ideas, tendencies, and unforgivable actions. The deeper self always seeks reconciliation. It asks the question, not can you forgive another, but can you forgive yourself?

As you work through the end of this moon phase know that soon there will be something new. After the dark will come the light again. You may feel as if you cannot find your balance, as if you are spinning off into space, but know that there is structure in nature. Find your grounding there.

Turn to nature for your guidance now. Study it. It will tell you what you need to know and do. In nature all plays out from beginning to end; all is fulfilled. And nature is all around, not just in the countryside; it is everywhere and in everything. You too are nature.

Let yourself be flowing today even as you seek grounding and certainty. Tune into nature and see what you learn. Let it guide you. Structure and balance will naturally resume as you let the forces of nature be your guide. Remember always that after darkness light will soon follow. It is the inevitable truth of nature. Tune into that!

Adjustment.

Finding balance in all things in life is challenging. Wants and desires must be allowed in the right amounts and appropriately. To constantly desire takes energy away from living. And what is living?

Living is the desire of your spirit to fully express itself, to become more part of your life, to find its way into the balance of your life. For what would living be without your spirit? Living with spirit means constantly adjusting to what life presents you with and finding a balance between spirit and desire.

Allow spirit to speak and guide you to your balance. In alignment with spirit, be honest and open. Speak the truth. Know where you stand and why. Ask spirit to be present as you find your balance again and again throughout the day, asking, “What is right? Please guide me.” Your spirit will answer you and living will gain balance as you accept the answers and move forward into its truths. That is adjustment.
