Many of you have had confusion about the releasing process. How exactly do I release things, you wonder. How do I know I’ve done it right?

The beauty of the glorious dance with the universe that you are now participating in is that everything you could possibly need is, as always, in place for you. There is no need for you to know exactly what it is you are releasing. As you participate in each energetic shift, things naturally dismantle as they are ready to leave.

You might think of it as a scab that has formed over a wound. When exactly is the scab ready to fall off? You understand when enough healing has happened underneath, it will naturally occur. You don’t need to know how or when, you can just trust that it will happen when the time is right.

Just as the body knows how to heal physically, it also knows exactly how to heal emotionally, spiritually and energetically. Honour your body in its innate intelligence. Listen to what it needs because it will always tell you. Allow it to take the lead with its expertise in this area.

A very helpful tip to help you understand this process is to remind you that you are never going it alone. The idea of release can be confusing to you if you feel unsure of the steps. What if you exchanged the idea of release for surrender? If you feel old energy is attempting to leave, surrender it! Surrender it to your highest self, to your guides and helpers, to Source, to the universe itself, secure in the fact that it knows exactly what to do with it.

Your long-term and short-term purposes are for expansion. Think big. Expand your horizons. Expand your horizons, and you expand your consciousness. See bigger, and you think bigger. There is nothing you have to hold onto for dear life. The fact is that you have to let go for dear life.

When you hold on tight, your arms are closed.

When you let go, your arms are open.

Of course, now We speak of heart and mind being wide open. If you can open your mouth wide when you are at the dentist, what would keep you from opening your heart and mind wide when you are with Me? And, of course, you are always with Me.

Closed thinking compresses you. Open thinking expresses you.

Whether you physically travel or not, your heart and mind are destined to be on the move. Your eyes do not look in one place. Your eyes try to catch everything in sight. Your eyes work with your mind and heart. Your eyes are like gatherers. Your heart and mind are hunters and gatherers, always on the hunt for new fields of exploration. Whatever you have discovered, there is more for you to discover. Even if you stay in the same house, the same job, the same everything, you are exploring further afield. How else can you grow and learn unless you expand your horizons? There is always further and greater to expand to.

At heart, you are not a settler. Your heart and mind are avid pioneers. They have a great appetite. Go out and get them some good food, something they have never tasted before or never tasted in exactly the same way.

13 Taurus 22 / 13 Scorpio 22

May’s Scorpio Full Moon continues the clean-up work we’ve been facing after the rockiness of March and April. The intensity and irrationality of the emotional purging may feel like an eclipse, but don’t be fooled. Eclipse season is over until the fall. This Scorpio Full Moon is simply shining light even more deeply than it has gone so far this year.

This Scorpio Full Moon’s polarity always stirs issues of give and take (usually out of whack, and never in your direction, it seems), trust and betrayal, investments and return, cold hard cash, and all kinds of other issues we don’t normally trot out into polite society. They can’t stay in hiding now. Too much is dragging them out for airing.

“I was standing in a field in an open area when my wife Pointed in the direction of the sunset. I looked at it and thought, “How odd; I’ve never seen colors like that be-fore.” Then it dawned on me: “I must be dreaming!” Never had I experienced such clarity and perception— the colors were so beautiful and the sense of freedom so exhilarating that I started racing through this beautiful golden wheat field waving my hands in the air and yelling at the top of my voice, “I’m dreaming! I’m dreaming!” ~ Excerpt from Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming by Stephen LaBerge

If you had a chance to control your dreams, what would you do? Imagine you are the architect of your story, as you play around with the exceptional abilities buried in unused parts of your brain, you are in total control of your dream. Lucid dreaming is about being aware that you are dreaming and accessing the deepest areas of your brain while you’re sleeping.
