If you’ve been following ‘what’s trending,’ or even glanced at your Facebook Newsfeed today, you’ll know that tonight was special; a Supermoon Lunar Eclipse. This phenomenon is both, astronomically and astrologically significant. According to Elephant Journal, there are four key things to note about tonight’s Supermoon Lunar Eclipse:

1. It will be a total lunar eclipse which means that the Earth, sun and moon will all align precisely– which only happens a few times a year; 

2. It will be a supermoon which means when we look up at the night sky the brilliant glow will be breathtaking;

3. This full moon takes place very close to the equinox (mark of a new season) which amplifies its energy considerably.

4. This particular lunar eclipse will be the fourth of four total lunar eclipses in a row, or the grand finale.

While I do believe in a Higher Power, my faith has definitely taken a hit this year. The reasons as to why and how are unimportant, but I found myself turning more than a curious eye to astrology and in particular, these lunar eclipses.

“Many of us have been thrown into relationship karma since July with the Venus retrograde cycle and some of us even longer. Now that the cycle is nearing completion, we’re closer to understanding our own needs as well as what we need in our relationship.”

The part that interests me is the idea of this cycle nearing completion; I feel like I’ve been going through a bloody spin cycle since February. I want to believe that this is the end of all of that, that good things are just around the corner, so with whatever faith I have left, I put it to you (and the Universe)

Tonight is the end of the cycle. May the weight of our trials and emotional burdens be lifted from our mind, heart, soul and spirit. May this eclipse bring the closure we seek and the closure we need to wake up with renewed faith, restored energy and a lightness in our heart. So it is written, so shall it be done.

As I read that back, I can’t help but role my eyes a little bit; but you know what, sometimes we just have to go out on a limb, believe in something a little bigger and put our intentions out into the Universe. So there it is.

We’re ready for something amazing, Universe.

Bring. It. On.

59 Seconds/Four Steps to Contentment

I don’t know what the word is, but there’s something to be said about reading the same book at a different stage/place/time in our life. That said, I recently revisited a book that was gifted to me years ago. The book is titled “59 Seconds” and is authored by Richard Wiseman (you can find a copy here).

The tagline of the book reads, “Think a Little, Change a Lot.” I always smile when I read that because I distinctly recall the gifter commenting on how much I overthink. 

NOTE: I’ll be writing on that more a little later as I’ve stumbled upon another book which addresses just that; introversion (so check back and/or remind me to get reading!).

Backed with numerous studies and research, Wiseman provides four basic tenements for a “long-term sense of contentment,” they are:

1. Know how to use a pencil;
2. Know to keep the perfect diary;
3. Know how to carry out small acts of kindness; and
4. Know how to develop gratitude attitude.

To begin with, Wiseman explains how to incorporate effective writing techniques into our lives and even provides exercises for beginning our perfect diaries. Each exercise claims to take a few moments, but I tend to take a little longer…

Wiseman, Richard, “59 Seconds: Think a Little, Change a Lot,” (2010), 23.

Without infringing on Mr. Wiseman’s intellectual property, I’ll share with you just one page/writing exercise from the book.

I’ll provide a full review of the book once I’ve read it entirely. In the interim, try this exercise and check out Richard Wiseman’s blog.

What are  you grateful for?

“Nobody is superior, nobody is inferior, but nobody is equal either. People are simply unique, incomparable. You are you, I am I. I have to contribute my potential to life; you have to contribute your potential to life. I have to discover my own being; you have to discover your own being.” – Osho

We each have to walk our own path, make our own choices and live with the consequences for same. While our paths may be different, our motivations are much the same: we’re all just trying to do what we right. Sometimes, we don’t know enough to know what that is. Sometimes, by the time we do know, it’s too late. And sometimes, we’re so frustrated with the first two, that we stop caring. But even then, we stop caring because we think that’s the right thing to do.

“Nothing others do is because of you.” – Miguel Ruiz

So I guess that’s what you’re doing.

I guess that’s what I have to do.
