Who is following the moon?Who does that?Why waste time?Hear me out.The moon, the sun, and the stars are some of the only things that remain true.I mean… what other truth is there?Even for people who think the world is flat…the moon, the sun, and the stars are still there.Still moving.Still cycling.Still reminding us.I grew up doing rituals according to the moon.In my culture, a newborn baby’s first haircut would happen on a Full Moon.The first baby celebration would happen on the first Full Moon after birth.For me, the moon is second nature.I pretty much rely on it, but my kids were born on waxing moon phase.I was born during the waning moon close to the Full Moon.My emotions can be wild.And honestly… maybe that makes sense.Not because I think the moon controls my life.But because it helps me pay attention to my life.While we are so busy building our dreams into reality,sometimes we forget about SELF.How have you actually been looking after yourself?What have you been eating?How have you been sleeping?Who have you been spending time with?What conversations have been shaping your energy?Have you been rushing through your lifeor actually living it?This week’s MoonNidra asks us to return to the masterplan.“Dogs bark at what they don’t understand.”“The moon does not worry about the barking of dogs.” RumiTo stay conscious.To make every breath count.Part of awakening awareness in the mind is conscious counting.Not counting to sleep.But counting to notice.Each breath.Each pause.Each moment.In this practice we work with the single digit 9.In numerology, 9 represents both endings and beginnings.A closing and an opening happening at the same time.Just like the moon.The moon phases are not here to control us.Maybe they are just soft reminders to check in.A quiet awareness clock in the sky.Because while we are busy creating the outer world,the inner world is still waiting for our attention too.That is the moon.PS. Following the moon does not make you more special than others.Maybe it simply reminds us that we are all special.xxN This is a public episode.
