Following the Moon: The Beauty You Love

I was genuinely taken aback when I did my review from a year ago. I like what I see and yet I found myself whispering: Be careful what you pay attention to...because more is on the way.

October brings us the keyword of Experience. At this time of year it's beneficial to remember that what's offered now is to help us to STAY CENTERED. With each moon comes a monthly prevailing energy. The point of 'Following the Moon' is so that you can actively assist yourself in creating your way into the Still-point, your calm center, the place of peace within you. This is the opposite of self-centered. When you enter the heart of stillness you discover that there is only one of us here.
