“The stripped and shapely
Maple grieves
The ghosts of her
Departed leaves.

The ground is hard,
As hard as stone.
The year is old,
The birds are flown.

And yet the world,
In its distress,
Displays a certain

Powerful energy builds this week as we head towards the Full Moon Eclipse on Friday. This is a particularly powerful eclipse and will usher in the next chapter of our soul evolution. It is an exciting time where we will begin to break through the tension that has dominated the past few months.

Spirituality & Health: A Full Moon Ritual for Release by Kalia Kelmenson

The full moon offers a potent time to create rituals.

The sky at night is a constant reminder of the rhythms of life. Each night offers subtle shifts: the stars are different, the moon waxes and wanes, meteor showers come and go. The night sky calls to us to observe and tune in, offering a chance to contemplate our own rhythms.

If you’ve ever had the love of a good dog, you know how soul-crushing it can be when they leave us. A loyal dog is a true companion – they love us despite our shortcomings and failures, they’re constantly happy to see us (even if we just left the room five minutes ago), and they somehow always manage to know when we need to feel better at the end of a long, rough day

November’s Leonid meteor shower is known for periodic storms of historic proportions, when shooting stars fall like rain. While no storm is predicted for the 2021 Leonids, you can still catch plenty of meteors from November 6 to 30. The meteor shower peaks the morning of November 17.

Inner Journey: RECOGNIZING ABUNDANCE

Acknowledging the good that is already in your life is the foundation for all abundance.”
— Eckhart Tolle

Where do you now experience abundance in your life?

If you are hard-pressed to find abundance in your finances or possessions, look to spiritual qualities. Do you experience abundance in a special relationship? In a quiet moment in a park? In a good laugh with a friend? The more you acknowledge abundance in your spirit, the richer your life will become.

“Not what we have but what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.”

Serving
“The best servant does his work unseen.”

-Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894)

Seva is a Sanskrit word which means self-less service. This is serving without condition, without expectation of recognition or reciprocation. This is the most pure form of service. When we give of ourselves, with all of our heart, just for the sake of giving, this is when we do the most good.

You can get a great deal done today, and feel inwardly satisfied about it.

November Quotes

“Fog in November, trees have no heads,
Streams only sound, walls suddenly stop
Half-way up hills, the ghost of a man spreads
Dung on dead fields for next year’s crop.
I cannot see my hand before my face,
My body does not seem to be my own,
The world becomes a far-off, foreign place,
People are strangers, houses silent, unknown.”

Inner Journey:WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

“It is never about how good your voice is; it is only about feeling the urge to sing, and then having the courage to do it with the voice you are given.”
— Katie in ‘True to Form’ by Elizabeth Berg

How often have you allowed fear and your inner critic to stop you from doing something you were inspired to do?

Helen Keller said, “Life is either a grand adventure or nothing.” When we allow fear and criticism to stop us in our tracks, we give up that grand adventure. What a waste!

Serving
“The man who is himself at ease can best attend to the distress of others.”

-Adam Smith (1723-1790)

Sometimes to step up and serve, we have to step outside of ourselves. We have to think more about what is going on than how uncomfortable we might feel in the situation. It might involve risk, and it might take courage. This is where heroes come in. A hero is that regular person who sets aside fear and serves because that is what is needed at the time

You won’t be allowed to keep too low a profile, so just step up and do what’s important for today. You should encounter no resistance.

You know, a kind word can move mountains and change lives. But for those times when they’ve escaped you, when the right thing wasn’t said, or the time wasn’t right to say it, kind thoughts can do the same.

“Hope for a miracle. But don’t depend on one.”

Of course we can work towards a goal with the best in mind. We can put every effort into making a project turn out just the way we want it to. But at a certain point we have to turn it over to the universe and just accept that we can’t control everything, and we wouldn’t want to! There are so many factors that can influence any situation. A project might not go well, but could it just as easily turn out better than we had planned.

“When nobody around you seems to measure up, it’s time to check your yardstick.”

Too often we have expectations of people that they just can’t live up to. Where did these expectations come from? We need to remember that we’re all doing the best that we can at any given moment in time. Rather than impose our own expectations on someone else, we can instead choose to be loving and accepting and see how it all works out cooperatively.

Inner Journey:

PURPOSE BRINGS JOY

“Our purpose is hidden in our joy, our inspiration, our excitement. As we act on what shows up in our life our purpose shows up.”
— James King

For many of us, our joy is truly activated when we get a bigger picture of who we are and why we are here.

Most of us need to enlarge our self-concept. We may see ourselves as a bag of bones but, in truth, we are eternal, multi-faceted and multi-dimensional spiritual beings having a human experience. It’s time to think of ourselves as much larger and grander than just a physical and emotional being confined in a body.

“There is no more important step you can take than to define your life’s purpose. It develops your sense of belonging to our universe.”
— Arnold Patent

Expectations
“Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is a little like expecting the bull not to attack you because you’re a vegetarian.”

-Dennis Wholey

Remember Doris Day singing: “Que sera sera, whatever will be, will be”? That’s a song about no expectations. No expectations means no attachment to outcome, and that means that we can be content no matter what happens because we know that there’s a reason, or a higher purpose, behind divine organization and we can accept that.

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Take everything and everyone a little bit more seriously today, without getting grim about it.

Inner Journey:

FEELING SAFE

“Oh the comfort, the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person, having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are — chaff and grain together — certain thata faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and with the breath of kindness blow the rest away….”
— Dinah Craik

We cherish our best friends and our special communities because we feel safe to be vulnerable when we’re in their embrace. And yet I have discovered that as long as I identify with my self-image, with my ego, there’s no safety possible anywhere. When theego is on watch, even a dear friend’s truth may trigger reactions like anxiety, self-criticism and fear.

The only true safety exists in living the truth of our soul, our essence.

“Open your body and your mind to the subtler levels of experience, letting go of your attempt to control, to be right, not worrying about appearances, not trying to be safe.”
— Stephen Levine

Expectations
“Because you’re not what I would have you to be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.”

-Madeline L’Engle

When I was 16 I took my first “self-help” class, and I still remember the lessons I learned there. One of the big ones was: “Unfulfilled expectations cause upset.” Expectations give us some pre-set notion of what we think “should” be. When we come in to a situation without expectations, we’re much more open and willing to accept, and even enjoy, what is taking place.

-Lissa Coffey coffeytalk.com

Daily Tarot: The Moon

You may be dwelling on your weakness or discomfort, and those things may be real enough, but take heart and know that these things are also temporary and are not going to last much longer. You underestimate or overlook your great powers of recovery and self-healing. You have too much love of life to be kept down for long. Give yourself a break and relax a bit

Inner Journey:

KNOW YOURSELF THROUGH JOURNALING

“The blank page gives us the right to dream.”
— Baston Bachelard

Journaling takes us on adventures of self-discovery that explore two different directions:

DEEPER into the realms of the subconscious where we can clean house of personal problems, pains, patterns, and reactions; and,
HIGHER into the realms of our potential, where we can connect with intuition and higher guidance and uncover our essence and purpose.

“Life is a narrative that you have a hand in writing.”
— Henriette Anne Klauser

Inner Journey: EMBRACE YOUR LIFE

“If there is a sin against life, it consists perhaps not so much in despairing of life, as in hoping for another life, and in eluding the implacable grandeur of this life.”
— Albert Camus

Have you taken ownership of your life?

When we own our lives, we accept what we’ve inherited and the experiences we hold in our memories. We also lay claim to our right to create new conditions if we’re not happy with what’s come before. We assume responsibility for changing what does not suit us. We acknowledge our own special talents and skills, and truly comprehend our right to enjoy the journey. In short, we embrace the meaning and purpose, the mystery and the beauty of our lives.

“Recognize that life is what you get when you’re born … living is what you do with it.”
— Jim Allen

“It began in mystery, and it will end in mystery, but what a savage and beautiful country lies in between.”
— Diane Ackerman

“Only in growth, reform, and change, paradoxically enough, is true security to be found.”

Security could be said to be peace of mind. It’s that feeling of being safe. When we know that no matter what happens on the outside, big or small, minor or major, we’re always fine, we’re always whole, then we have peace of mind – we have security.

Inner Journey:

CONNECT WITH THE LIFE FORCE

“The spirit down here in man and the spirit up there in the sun, in reality are only one spirit, and there is no other one.”
— The Upanishads

We regard our lives as made up of an infinite number of separate bits and pieces. That is how our senses perceive our universe.

But science has now affirmed what the sages always knew. The life force is the foundation of all, unseen and untouched though it may be. It flows through everyone and everything. It is impossible to exist separate and apart from the source of all creation.

“Everything you see has its roots in the unseen world. The forms may change, yet the essence remains the same. Every wonderful sight will vanish; every sweet word will fade, But do not be disheartened, The source they come from is eternal, growing, Branching out, giving new life and new joy. Why do you weep? The source is within you And this whole world is springing up from it.”
— Jelaluddin Rumi

Security
“Security can only be achieved through constant change, through discarding old ideas that have outlived their usefulness and adapting others to current facts.”

-William O. Douglas

There’s an old saying that nothing is permanent but change. When we are flexible and open to change, we can learn and grow through all types of changes. Change offers us newfound freedom, and when we realize that, we are secure in knowing that change is good, and good for us.

November Quotes

“November comes
And November goes,
With the last red berries
And the first white snows.

With night coming early,
And dawn coming late,
And ice in the bucket
And frost by the gate.

The fires burn
And the kettles sing,
And earth sinks to rest
Until next spring.”

Elizabeth Coatsworth

Inner Journey: LAUGH!

“We don’t laugh because we’re happy, we’re happy because we laugh.”
— William James

Why laugh?

Laughter nourishes the soul and triggers joy. It’s a natural stress reliever. It stimulates the immune system and increases oxygen, stamina and our breathing capacity. Medical literature is full of reasons to laugh for the health of it.

Don’t rely upon your funny friends, favorite sit-com or jokes to tickle your funny bone — just laugh for the joy of it!

“Laughter is like the human body wagging its tail.”
— Anne Wilson Schaef

November Birthstone: Citrine

Birthstone Color: Yellow Gold

November’s gemstone, Citrine, is as warm as a Van Gogh painting of sunflowers. The name Citrine comes from an old French word, “citrin”, meaning lemon. One of the more rare forms of quartz, this gemstone ranges in color from the palest yellow to a dark amber named Madeira because of its resemblance to the red wine.

Security
“Our greatest illusion is reliance upon the security and permanence of material possessions. We must search for some other coin.”

-John Cudahy

What is secure anyway? And why do we so desperately rely upon it? Anything we can see or touch is impermanent. “Things” come and go. A new car depreciates the minute we drive it off the lot. A gemstone is only worth what someone will pay for it, and prices change all the time. The only permanence, the only unchangeable, is spirit. We can find our security in our faith
