Moon in Libra — Focus on Relationships

“Integrity in my world is defined as having small spaces between what you say and what you do. In the search for a partner with integrity, I was led to cultivating integrity in myself. It is one of the great secrets of partnership that you cannot attract something from your partner that you do not have in yourself. Integrity is a tricky thing, and there have been times when I have felt that I was in integrity and then realized that I was deceiving myself. When I looked closer, I found that there were many ways that I had not shown up as promised in a relationship. “

Moon in Virgo — Clean up your Life!

“Moonbeams and Butterflies are not the full substance of love. Perhaps you have a fantasy that love is full of light and ecstasy. It can be. But for most of us there is also Rot and Decay that must be cleared away to make room for the light. Some common forms that this rot takes are Jealousy, Unrequited Love, Old relationship Patterns, Death of a partner, and Unresolved Breakups. It is important that these old wounds and patterns be healed and cleaned up. Without that trash detail, there is simply no space in your heart or your life for another person. How can someone get close to you when you are holding on to so much?”

Moon in Virgo — Tidy up Your Life!

Healing myself with self love has been the rest remedy in my life for letting go of loving people who don’t love me back. It’s funny to have had so many years in my life when I have been having this experience and I see that it has taught me so much about being full just with who I am. I have learned through taking care of myself deeply that I am enough. That I deserve Love. That I can be happy whether there is a man in my life or not. Coming to this place of deep rest and acceptance about my life is a gift. Grounding myself in a daily set of activities and experiences that nourish my soul is the foundation of my self love practice. I make sure I get enough sleep, I take long baths, I sit by the pool on the weekends and soak up the sun. I play music and knit and read for pleasure. I give my attention to things that cultivate a sense of love and beauty in my heart. And through that attention an inner feeling of joy and beauty awakens. This is the thing that I want to be able to bring to a relationship anyhow, a lot of love already in my heart. I don’t want to come to a relationship needing anything from the other person. This sets me up for another one of those paradoxes where because I don’t NEED anything I am given EVERYTHING.

Moon in Cancer – Manage your Emotions

“One of my biggest learnings through tantra has been dealing with the strong emotional energy that I call the Dragon. Practical applications of the Dragon energy are many. The first few times I experienced the dragon I had no hope of steering it or controlling it in any way, My body was filled with an overwhelming shaking and my brain became unable to process any intelligent thoughts. It was terrifying for me because all my life I have used my mind to rule my body and my emotions. Coming into this experience of the Dragon was good for me, but totally unexpected and filled me with fear and despair. The only thing that helped to ground me when it first began was to have my beloved hold me or make love to me. But eventually I began to see that I was not making full use of this gift, that I could steer the Dragon and use it for my spiritual growth.”

“Moon in Gemini — Communicate your Passion!”

“In shamanic tantra, the woman receives the man and magnetizes her power to pull him in. Before she learns to do this in her yoni, she first learns to do it with her eyes. To start with, she softens her eyes as she and her lover look at each other. For many women, this practice is difficult, bringing up fear around being so vulnerable to his passion and purpose. I often feel a fear of being lanced by a sharpness that I feel in the masculine, and have had to learn to trust and drop into the receptive state, knowing that the man will not cut me with his eyes. This sense of safety we have talked about before, but it is the heart of tantra for women, to feel safe, to feel loved, to feel connected. If a man uses his penetrating gaze to try to get some response from a woman, to try to penetrate her with his energy before she is ready, his efforts will only lead to her withdrawing and shutting down. The man must learn to approach the woman gently at first, and to gradually allow his gaze to become more intense as she is able to open to him. A woman, on the other hand, must be willing to trust the man, to know that he will not hurt her, that his intention is clean. Of course this first means that we only practice eye gazing and tantra with men who we know are trustworthy, and who have a commitment to embody the balanced masculine for us.”

Moon in Taurus — Celebrate Calm

Today I was reminded how lucky I am in my relationship with my beloved. Peaceful easy flow is our standard way of being, punctuated with passion about life and our sexual connection to each other. In the past my relationships were much less peaceful. Hindsight being 20-20, I see that is 50% because I’ve chosen a peaceful partner, and 50% because I have worked to create peace and joy in myself. In other words? I have finally given up being a drama queen! I’m so happy that I no longer need to create drama to feel a connection to life. Even in challenging situations I can instead breathe and feel my connection to the earth and to Spirit, and know that I am safe, and I am loved. Always.

Moon in Aries — Keep moving!

“Trance is a state of being that takes us into an alternate reality where the ordinary rules of time and space and logic no longer apply. We can enter trance in a couple of ways, either going deeply into the sensuality of the body or leaving the body behind to go deeply into the secrets of the mind. The soul gazing gateway is focused on this deep going within, on opening the doorways within us that guard the passage to a freedom in ourselves that comes from acceptance of our physical body and acceptance of our mental and emotional selves. Through the practice of Soul Gazing you learn to become present to the mental and emotional self. Connecting to the mind and emotions deeply, you begin to see yourself more clearly, and to get a healthy sense of how to grow. If you call on the connection to Spirit that you created for yourself in the First Gateway, Connecting to Spirit, you can find strength to really look within yourself and become present to all the things that are getting in the way of your pursuit to lead a fully embodied life.”

Moon in Aries — Strike a new direction!

You’ve all (mostly) been patient as I’ve been writing my book and posting excerpts to my blog instead of filling you in. So here’s the real truth: I’m in love with the man of my dreams. Like the Princess Buttercup in “The Princess Bride”, I know that this man will always be there for me, because he has been there since I was a young girl. I love being part of a team with him, one that works without much effort. Best of all, I am walking through life so energized and peaceful at the same time. Thank you beloved, and thank you Spirit.

Moon in Pisces — Drop into your Spiritual Side

“In addition to the sexual reasons you may have for learning tantra, it is helpful to have spiritual goals. Many men and women I work with have the goal of empowerment. They want to feel competent and radiantly alive as they walk through the world. My personal path to empowerment has come through first learning that everything I need lives within me. Independence and freedom are my touchstones, the foundation of my shamanic tantra practice, supporting my power as an individual. The more empowered I am as a person, the more I have to bring to a partnership, and the more energy there is to float into new and incredible places of connection with each of my lovers and friends. Freedom in partnership takes a strong commitment to owning my own emotional baggage, and a strong commitment to getting rid of it. We cling to people and to possessions in our culture to feel safe, but this clinging does nothing to support our spiritual growth, and in fact it impedes it. Almost always, the state of enlightenment is described as a sort of freedom, and this freedom does not come from a grabbing on to someone and insisting that everything must be done in sharing mode. No, freedom comes from letting go, from opening. Just as we must open to deep connection and intimacy, so we must also open to trusting enough to let go. We must trust that Spirit supports us, loves us, and wants us to be happy in our relationships. If we have this trust, there is no need for us to cling, to fear abandonment. And how much stronger we become when we feel confident enough to share our partner with the friends and family in our lives, to let go of jealousy about the time and attachments they give to others. Letting go of the fear of being replaced by another, knowing that this will only occur if it is the will of Spirit for us, and trusting Spirit deeply, allows us to find peace in freedom.”

Summer Solstice — Celebrate the Divine Masculine!

“As in dance, so in life when it comes to the connection between a man and a woman. One person must lead while the other follows. If both lead, there can be no dance. There is a pull, a magnetic attraction, between a man who is on his purpose and a woman who is on her center. Centered, a woman pulls men to her who are like a key to her lock, who fit with her centered seat in the world, and who can contain her energy and harmonize with it in all of life. On his purpose, a man moves through a woman’s center only if she is along his path and can receive and connect with him. He no longer wastes time trying to make connections where there is no energy or interest. Together, these two make a synergy of union, a grand siren song that is the most powerful force behind the universe, the power of sexual magnetism, life energy, and creation. This is the energy that creates all of us, and that can emanate from a union between a man and a woman to create a beautiful life. Singing within this zone of attraction, a man and a woman can accomplish anything together. “
