Writing the Energetic Body – Shedding Inhibition and Divining Your Intentions – 28 Days of Writing Past the Mind and into the Chakras
New Moon in Pisces, Monday March 11, 2013 starts the next class!
New Moon is the time to plant intentions — combine that with fertile Pisces ruled by numinous Neptune and this is sure to be a very abundantly creative session.
We will begin the session with an intention setting ritual and start our exploration at the crown chakra and work our way down to the root, the earth, our place of manifestation.
Get ready to explore possibility, make (re)discoveries, release inhibition, and develop a writing practice.
Growing up, I felt like a boy. When I discovered David Bowie, something beyond gender stirred in me. He cracked open a snake egg in my spine and my nervous system squirmed. His voice took me out of my body and put me in the stars.
1. When the mind is more focused, you are happier. When the mind is one-pointed, it doesn’t swing so much. If it doesn’t have many waves, then you are happy.
2. Objects appear to give you happiness because of the conditioning of your mind to like this and dislike that, but truly objects cannot bring you lasting happiness. All objects are external things, but happiness comes from within you; it is your true nature.

Are you ready to let writing move through your body, into your energetic being, and trust what it’s saying to you?
Are you ready to release memories (or make up new ones), blocks, and sticky spots?
Are you ready for non-judgmental feedback, compassionate communication, and encouragement?
The first New Moon of the year is today – the New Moon in Capricorn. New Moons are a powerful time to make intentions. Capricorn gives us strength and endurance for discipline and responsibility. We are already in the mindset of “new-ness” – the energy for bringing in what we want is snowballing right now.
2012 is over — what would you like to leave behind? Can you make the decision to let go? Will letting it go be for the greater good of your life — and perhaps the lives of those around you?
Capricorn energy gives you the strength and discipline to see the bigger picture and take the steps needed to do what is the highest and best.
Alan Watts says, “What do you desire? What makes you itch? What sort of a situation would you like?”
Eckhart Tolle’s talk completely resonated with me. Always bringing myself to the present moment – it can be work sometimes. This morning the Tiger showed up, but I just allowed myself to be present with it, and it dissipated quickly. I find that when I practice reiki, I feel synched in to the person I […]
