Today's New Moon and how to use the November energies

The next several days are going to be power packed with energies of letting go and opening to the new, so do tune in….and know that I am offering a lot of support in November for you. 

Today is the New Moon in Scorpio, it is also the start of Diwali, the Indian new year..in which the goddess Lakshmi, goddess of abundance is honored.  As with all new moons, this is a perfect day to ask yourself: “What do I want to create or manifest at this time, for this 4 week cycle and beyond?”

Scorpio, the sign we have just entered until late December, is about letting go of the old, and moving deeper into the mysteries of transformation, death and rebirth.  We also have the ancient earth-based holidays of Samhain and All Hallows Eve, the Day of the Dead, as October ends and November begins.

What is dying, what is wanting to end, and what is wanting to come in?  What are you most wanting to transform so you can give birth to your new self?  You can use this time wisely by spending some time alone and going inside, journaling, doing some movement or whatever helps you find your place of peace and inner wisdom.

I have a number of events coming up in November and December that I want to let you know about.  A more detailed calendar will go out in just a few days, but here are the highlights:

Nov. 9 will mark a return to doing a monthly free call, and I’m looking forward to it!  It will be an introduction for new people and a reunion for many of us who haven’t been on calls together.  I will be doing some teaching and energy work, not a full repatterning session, but you will come away shifted—at least that’s my goal!   These will take place on the 1^st or 2^nd Wednesday of the month. The overall topic is “Thrive Your Life” and there will be different themes for each class.   They will be recorded as well.  

Other upcoming sessions and programs:

 11/14: Manifesting Monday session for clearing obstacles (proxy)

11/16: Eating Healthy, Staying Happy: Stress free holiday eating and celebrations (phone or proxy)

11/20: Aligned for Mercury Retrograde ( proxy)

11/21-25: Joyful Manifesting Intensive (5 day proxy program of energy shifts to help you manifest two goals).

In closing, this quote from astrologer Robert Wilkinson (Google the Aquarius papers for his website): 

“Be generous of Spirit, show care, and the rewards will be great. Be a good steward, and build so that the good works will endure well into the future. This month we get new views on how we can join with others to conquer a form of "separativeness through group-cooperation." Through the projects we accept that truly help others, we can lose all sense of separateness.

This time should be fairly productive, even if there is a lot of tension and separations from illusions. Cooperation breeds evolution, and problems can be solved by applied cooperative intelligence and skills. Find projects that benefit the evolutionary needs of self and/or others, and this time of applied skill will yield rewards by late November and early December.”

What Else is Possible?

Our subconscious mind is programmed to fill in the blank when we ask open ended questions...it does not like to have something dangling at the end of a sentence, unanswered.

Instead of "Why can't I do better?"  or "Why isn't what I want to happen, happening?" or "Why isn't he or she more understanding?"  which keep us locked into the problem, we can switch to solution focus by asking open ended "How" questions.

My favorite two questions of the moment are used in powerful work called Access Consciousness. They are:

"What Else is Possible?"   and "How Does it Get Any Better than This?"

Let me know how your life changes when you start using them..and I'll do the same!

Many blessings,
Ellen

The Turning Point: Full Moon Update

Tonight is a full moon..a great time to name and release whatever you are ready to let go of. This is why I'm being guided to offer sessions that clear the roots of our issues at the oldest and deepest levels... Ancestral Patterns and clearing past life karma. It's time for THE CHANGE, to become who we are meant to be without all that baggage. To learn more about what I'm offering, visit my website at http://www.repattern.com/Ancestral_Alchemy.shtml

The full moon seems especially auspicious because of this month's theme according to shamanic healers and intuitives, Jose and Lena Stevens. The theme for the month of October is the "Turning Point." They give a simple exercise in the excerpt below to help you align with the theme of the month. Enjoy!

Excerpted from their monthly forecast which can be found at www.thepowerpath.com: 
The main theme for October 2011 is Turning Point.

"The image is that of facing a well-known view, in fact a view you have become so accustomed to you hardly notice it anymore. And now you have just realized that you are turning away from this view 90 degrees to the right and leaving it completely behind in order to face a new view. Suddenly it dawns on you that the old view will be gone forever, never to be seen again in the same way. There is nostalgia around the permanence of the loss of this old view. It is familiar to you and it has served to inspire, entertain, give you feedback and be a placeholder in your life.

You realize that once you turn towards the new view the old one is gone forever. And despite the inadequacies of the old view in matching a new time, there is a resistance to giving it up and turning towards the unknown. What if the new view isn't as good as the old one? What if you won't be able to see the new view? What if it is not a clear view, or an inspiring one? What if there is no new view?

The Turning Point can also be called the Point of No Return. When one season ends and another begins, as in moving from Summer to Fall, there is no going back. You have passed the point of no return. And as you move clockwise around the medicine wheel from one direction to the next, you are at a point of no return as you arrive at the new position or direction.

The natural progression in moving forward is always clockwise or to your right. That is the way the clock works, the seasons roll, and wheels move forward. So we are at the point of turning clockwise into a new landscape providing us with a new view. We have been creating this new view for a while now. We just have not turned our sights on it as yet.

The new view has been waiting for our much-needed focus on it to come into being and we are just now at that point but some of us still unwilling to make the final turn. What we do not realize in our resistance is that the new view is fabulous, inspiring, supportive and perfect for where we need to go. However in order to see the new view we must turn away from the old one and turn towards the new one. This is happening whether you are choosing to or not. We are truly at the Turning Point right now.

 Another image to work with is the idea of the Turning Point as the point at which there is enough energy moving in a certain direction to insure a result. If you have been ill and are recovering, there is turning point in your illness where you are insured a recovery. The same thing applies to an ending or a death. There is a certain turning point at which there is a certainty about the outcome. When a lot of energy is being put into building a business or starting a project, or cultivating a relationship, there is always a turning point at which it either takes off or you see that it won't work.

This month you have the opportunity to experience turning points in many aspects of your life. Perhaps you have set certain intentions, and worked with them over time. This month you may get to experience a turning point in manifesting those intentions. Other themes of the month are Transition/Transformation and Death/Rebirth. Transition/Transformation and Death/Rebirth are similar in that they both use the turning point to move from one point to another. The main characteristic of this change as a turning point is that there is finality to the ending of one experience that automatically turns you towards another one.

What is the experience of the Turning Point trying to teach us this month? What we need to learn is to be more present so we can fully embrace what is in front of us and then let it go with gratitude for the experience it provided. We need to learn to be less attached so that we can turn away from the old view and toward the new one with less resistance. We also need to learn to be more trusting and confident that the view we are creating that we are turning toward is exactly what we want and need. We need to face this view with confidence, enthusiasm and excitement instead of with fear.

Many of you know that there is a marker at the end of this month that marks the official end of the Mayan Calendar, namely the date of October 28, 2011. There are many predictions about what may happen at this time. Some predict 3 days of darkness, some predict major earth changes, some predict that nothing significant will happen, and other predict that the changes will be mostly personal, emotional and psychological

October 28, 2011 is simply a marker as it is impossible to predict what the Turning Point will manifest. What we can predict is change and transition that brings us all beyond the point of no return. How the month shows up: YOU PERSONALLY Use the month to get present. Use the month to fully take in your experiences with gratitude and use the month to fully release what you are turning away from.

You may go through feelings of nostalgia, sadness and even some grief, much of it general and not really connected to anything. Nostalgia is in the air as we are turning towards a new view. See and experience everything with presence. Practice saying goodbye to what you know, and hello to the unknown view ahead. This is an incredible time where you can experience the turning point towards the positive in many areas you have put energy into.

It is a good month for manifesting especially something you have been putting your focus into for a long time. You may also feel compelled to finally let go of what is holding you back from that new view. Make friends with death and the finality of its lessons.

A good exercise to do daily would be to face a literal view that you are familiar with and then to turn 90 degrees to your right, trying on the experience that you will never see the old view again. Take in the beauty and wonder of the new view and see its possibilities as positive and supportive. Do this as many times during the day wherever you are to practice the experience of the turning point."

Wishing you an incredible journey through this month of change and beyond,
Ellen
