Essence of New

Who is tracking moon cycles?  Anyone? Well, if you are, you  know that we just had a full moon last Friday.  I know because I am taking a class on how to make flower essences.  My assignment this week was to make an essence, and it was suggested that the energy of the full moon might add a little something special to the mix.  So, like a good student, I did what was suggested; steeped some flower blossoms in clean water, in a glass bowl, under the sun or moon (see above for which one I chose) for 2-6 hours.  I AM SO EXCITED.  I can't wait to begin taking my flower essence to see what happens!
You might be thinking 1) "oh wow, how cool" or 2)"pfffff, PLEASE, that's silly, what's that gonna do?"  There was a time when I was team #2, skeptical of things that I could not easily track with one of my five physical senses. While I felt like I was too cool for school,  I associate that period of time with being less hopeful and excited about the day to day. Since joining team # 1, I am fully on board with many things subtle and less provable. In fact, while it may sound foolish or unlikely, an invisible power has brought order to what used to feel and be chaotic, energy and engagement where there used to be doubt and apathy.  
It took some courage ( fear and desperation?! )  to take action  to try to tune in to the subtle energies that are always at play around us. Maybe some faith that as I stepped out of my comfort zone, out of the mundane, something would be there to meet me. The payoff has been worth the risk. I have not been disappointed. While not everything I try brings big results, I am definitely more joyful and eager to see what each day brings. 
I encourage you to try something new this week, even something foolish or unlikely.  If nothing much comes from it, at least you can say you tried, that you shook things up a bit.  And just maybe you will enjoy the experience.
