WELCOME TO MY WORLD!

We are all on board this ship called Life - and here you'll get insights into how I navigate my way through both the stormy and silent weathers - and hopefully get inspiring perspectives to use in your own life. I'll be very personal, share my ups and downs, hopes and fears, insights and mistakes. Life sure is a bumpy road! To me the most important thing is following my Heart - walk my OWN path :)

"Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I'm not perfect and I
don't live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your
hands are clean." ~ Bob Marley

The internal Sun in the middle of ourselves


"We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace." ~ Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love)
I just read this on the net, (I have not read this book though)and it brought back some memories:
When I was a teenager and younger, and didn't know any spiritual terms/words for this supreme self she is referring to - I used to call it "in the middle of myself". I saw it as a ball of bright light within, like an internal sun, and it was all peace and harmony no matter what was going on in my life, and on the surface with my human emotions. One part of me felt all kinds of fears, sadness, dispair etc, but this inner sun was always shining, being harmonious, peaceful and totally at ease with everything. Well, it still is :)
Sometimes it confused me feeling "light & shadow" all at once, but it was as it was.
I just felt like writing about it. Maybe others can relate?

I salute your internal sun,
Aina

Biggest full moon in over 20 years this weekend!


Tomorrow, Saturday, the moon will be 14 % closer to Earth than it was 2 months ago. How cool is that?!
I hope there will be clear weather, so we can all get a clear sight of the planet that mirrors the sun so beautifully.

How will this "visit" from the moon effect Earth? Previous "close encounters" have caused earthquakes and vulcano outbursts. Is it then possible that the earthquake and tsunami in Japan was caused by the moon moving closer? I don't know.
One thing is for sure though, the tides all over the planet will be larger.

How will the full moon effect us individually? The human body contains 60-80 % water, so I'm sure we'll feel some sort of effect. Will many of us find ourselves holding more water in our bodies? Will many of us be more moody? More angry? Fantazise more? Have insomnia? These are often what many experience during full moon in general, so it might increase this weekend. We'll see.

In astrology the moon is a symbol of the Mother, the feminine principle, the caretaker. Could it signify a "re-birth" of a greater genuine caring around the planet?
The tsunami and current critical situation for Japan, as well as the critical situation for civilians in Libya, have made humanity feel compassion, the want to be there for others. CARE. Can that be the "message" from the moon? I don't know.
We could see it as a "sign" that the huge moon will rise in the East. So - look to the East!
It's time to question our previous values, to see which ones that are of real value, and then let go of the ones who are not of the highest good for all.
That's some of my thoughts and questions about this.

Happy enormous full moon weekend!
