“You are what your deepest desire is. As is your desire, so is your intention. As is your intention, so is your will. As is your will, so is your deed. As is your deed, so is your destiny.”
~Upanishads, Sacred Hindu Treatise written 800–200 BC
Introducing a New Cycle:
This is the second of the Mystic Moon Series which will culminate at WILD WOMAN FEST ’17. We are moving into the Mystic, Moon by Moon. The Mystic Perspective highlights the connection between the inner life & the outer life. In the year ahead we will go even farther in developing rich inner lives & deep inner guidance so that our outer lives become more and more reflective of who we really are and what we really want, for the highest good of all involved.
Tools & Inspiration for The Desire Moon
A Practice: Turning On Your Desire
Suggested Use: Practice 2-5 Minutes Daily throughout this Moon Cycle, October 30th- November 28th. You may use the same deep desire or switch it up (just be sure you are connecting to a deep desire, not a whim).
An Image: Woman on a Mission
Suggested Use: Draw, Paint, Write, or Simply sit in Contemplation of this woman. What can you learn by her example?
What are you Hungry for on the deepest level? – A Question
Suggested Use: You may close your eyes and ask in. Be aware of the many ways your inner guidance can speak to you: through the sensations in your physical or energetic body, through an image or phrase, through a particular emotional response, through a sense of deep knowing. Allow your guidance to answer the question for you. You may write/draw the answer in your journal once it reveals itself. Best done on or near the New Moon.
Desire Moon Guidance
Words of Truth
“You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.”~Mary Oliver, American poet, winner of the National Book Award & the Pulitzer Prize
“You are what your deepest desire is. As is your desire, so is your intention. As is your intention, so is your will. As is your will, so is your deed. As is your deed, so is your destiny.” ~Upanishads, Sacred Hindu Treatise written 800–200 BC
“I will not hide my tastes or aversions.
I will so trust that what is deep is holy.”~Ralph Waldo Emerson, American essayist, lecturer & poet
