MANAGING VULNERABILITY: "Be Water, My Friend." - Bruce Lee

Be formless, shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. Put it into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put into a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash: Be water, my friend!”).- Bruce Lee

Cosmologically Speaking, this new moon in Pisces offers a focus on surrender to one's Higher Self, joy in all kinds of music, poetry, math, physics, multicultural fare, psychic ability, the collective subconscious and the ability to use one's vulnerability as strength. It is a time to go into the power of inner calm and peace and to allow this to become the core of one's being.  How timely that the new moon at 5:45 Pacific Time happens to fall on International Women's Day.  In India, a woman who has claimed the peace of her inner nature is considered to be a treasure to her family.  Her calm and serenity brings health and prosperity to her family.  She is called the sattvic woman.  Globally the sun is being covered by the feminine moon.

Our world is in need of the feminine healing nurturing touch.  The new feminine moon that creates a total masculine solar eclipse is a time to set an intention. Why not allow yourself the gift of the feminine touch.  Today I had my qigong class take care of their kidneys and rest in front of a cozy warm fire. This is the Yin Principle - rest and absorption. The kidneys have to do with the water element within us.  They remove toxins from our body and house both the fear and the willpower emotions. 

Given the Solar eclipse tomorrow evening it is wise to encircle whatever intention you make with a lot of white light.  The spiritual folklore around a solar eclipse indicates a time when the forces of darkness find the opportunity to descend onto the earth and cause destruction in the physical world.  Solar eclipses also carry the mythology of the demise of a leader. There is a lot going on tomorrow.  I like that the new moon comes first in these cosmic events - giving us an opportunity to utilize our collective will to reverse the possible negative effects by utilizing them as compost, which becomes fuel to shine our light brighter. When encountering obstacles become water.  When encountering fear breathe and flow.  

Now is the perfect time to meditate, to plan a retreat, to do some dream work.  It is the time to embrace the power of your inner peace, let it flow and let your light shine everywhere you go!
