Some full moons I feel more deeply than others. I’m really feeling this one. I dreamed last night that travelled to the moon. I pressed my body against it. I felt the old and stagnant waters of my body be pulled straight out. Out my pores seeped the gripping, the tightened teeth, the old and ancient fears. I didn’t even try to hold onto them. The moon held me with her dense, dark body. I laid my palms out flat against her, chest to the ground, and I wept. She pulled out all the things I have been trying to destroy. She gently tugged at my wantings, my whining, my wading in just to my ankles. All of this poured out like water. And I filled with love, fresh water, and starlight.
This full moon feels to me like an opportunity to empty your pockets before you climb the mountain. Take off those bags you’ve gotten so used to carrying, you’ve forgotten they’re there. Reach in, pull out what’s more heavy than useful, and set it down. I know when I’m climbing to a new place, to new heights, I want to be as light as possible. I want to carry only what is essential. This full moon feels like an opportunity to do that.
I’m going to go lie down on the earth today and recreate my dream. I hope you’ll join me! Stretch out, face down (maybe in pigeon pose for extra yum), and put your heart and palms against the earth. Feel her flat body below you. Give her your holdings. Give her what you just can’t carry anymore. She’ll take it. She wants to take it. Feel the water in your body be pulled in new directions. Feel the forces of nature, bigger than you, wash through you. The water on the earth today was around during the dinosaurs. It’s far more ancient and knowing than you. Let it move. Don’t hold on to it. Let the wise water in you decide what to love and what to release today.
Full Heart Moon Blessings,
Nicole
