Partner With Your Soul...New Moon New Life Recap

As I mentioned in the Dreamwork this month, I really wanted to call this month stop being mean to yourself.  And the main reason is that most of us would not speak the judgements that we do of ourselves to someone else.  And although we do not say them out loud, our soul's have very sensitive hearing and will not speak our soul's calling and wisdom to us if we are going to mean and debate it's advice.  So it's time to treat our soul's as a partner and stop with the inner negative chatter, it really doesn't help anyone.

But I went straight into the core of the summary.  Here is a picture of the altar.

We opened the directions and each person introduced themselves to the mesa.  And for those not present (aka Dreamworkers and Lite participants), I called your sombres into the ceremony.

Again I get ahead of myself as of course the first thing we did was the surrender process.  And as I suggested for the dreamworkers we did it accompanied to P!nks song Please Don't Leave Me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eocCPDxKq1o&ob=av3e   The song is intended as a love song but as I keep stressing our relationship with our soul should be like that of a lover.  I do find it funny that often when I'm looking for songs to use in ceremony, as many of you know, I like to find popular songs or showtunes as metaphors.  And I often find that love songs are often perfect metaphors for the struggles that we have with our love of self, our soul's and god.

One thing that the dreamworkers don't know is a line that I actually read just before the ceremony started that I the following spoke into the mesa.  "The tragic sense of life is not unbelief, pessimism, fatalism, or synicism.  It is just ultimate and humiliating realism, which for some reason demands a lot of forgivenes of almost everything.  Faith is simply to trust the real, and to trust that God is found within it--even efore we change it.  This is perhaps our major stumbling stone, the price we must pay to keep the human heart from closing down and to keep the soul open for something more."  It's from a book called Falling Upwards and thought it was perfect to enhance the surrender of the mean thoughts that we have of ourselves.  It's a book about the second half of our lives and how we learn and improve ourselves through our past and mistakes.    It's filled with other gems.

Post the currender we also cleaned ourselfs off with the loving and efficient water process.  I had been at my sister's earlier for my nephews birthday and found that she had these napkins in her bathroom that said Live, Love and Laugh.  And that is pretty much my mode of operating, so I took a few to dry our hands and set the tone for the seed planting process.

And you will see your seeds were printed and woven in with our ceremonial blossoms until the making of the garland of dreams.

So we also did the dreamwork process along with The Dog Days Are Over by Vicci Martinez.   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6oPcBvx3nQ What I failded to mention to the people in the room was that this was from a show called the Voice where people compete to make their dreams to come true.  So we don't need to compete but it's time to remember the Dog Days Are Over as long as you let them be and you partner with your wise and loving soul.


We transferred the seeds of the inspirational seed planting ritual and created the garland of dreams.  

Well each of the individual flowers were in the individual yellow spider mums.  I like that I often use spider mums, not only are the easy to weave quickly and they are pretty but the spider medicine shows how we are weaving our dreams and lives into a beautiful garden.  The lovely orange colored sunflower was used for the prayers for others.  The prayers for others.

In the room we waiting to do embody our dreams that were in the water from the ceremony until the chocolate eathing ceremony and yes, we did that to Everybody Rejoice from the Wiz.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-NiH1kH3-E

As I believe the spirit worlds is always rejoicing when they see us and feel us connect in a heartfelt way with our souls and all there wisdom.  And we should do the same rejoicing every day for ourselves.  Typically I go direct to the East River to offer our garland of dreams; however, I decided to let it really absorb all the medicine in the mesa.  I kept it open and am off to the east river once I hit post on this blog.  As you know I don't like to leave any scraps and I'll be converting the papers with your seeds into ash.  Instead of offering those, I will be putting them in a jar I have and will take your seeds with me to Peru where I will offer them in a very sacred location.
