Come Out, WHOever You Are!
August 17, 2009
In the child's game Hide and Seek they say: "Come out, come out, wherever you are!" Now you are challenged to be whoever you are inside. The symbol of The Mask in Star Journey is a transforming idea about identity. We all tend to wear masks to shape identities for others to see us. Acting the mature parent, or the helpful friend, the rebellious child, the comforter, all these can be masks of the true you. Your true individuality is entirely transparent. You don't have to act any special way to be you. Keep this in mind, letting the real you be the star in life's play!
Relax, Release and Flow
August 14, 2009
There is a time when you can let go and feel the flow. The Rain is the symbol in Star Journey that reminds us at times a gentle shower will come. In that moment, you feel release, a renewal of self and energy, even cleansed. It may become a steady rain, and an emotional condition may occur. But rain will pass. Let it help while it is here. For at least a moment, feel that state in which you can relax, be released from stress, and let what is, just flow.
Be Strong, Take Command
August 10, 2009
The energy of your clarity marches forth. Others feel the power of your resolve. Like the symbol of The Rod in Star Journey, take command of actions and forces in your life. Feel your own strength of will, and be empowered. Temper this with discretion, exerting personal power when and where it is needed. You are strong, clear, and in command of your life.
Reflect On What Matters--Then Focus
August 7, 2009
Things happening in your life may require reflection in order to grasp, process, and evaluate. The symbol of The Tower in Star Journey tells about the posture of one's inner awareness. Use the approach of the tower to turn inward, climb the steps to an inner chamber, and reflect in the peace of your own mind. Once you have, then return. Like a tower standing strong and tall upon the landscape, focus your attention as you prepare to move ahead. Awareness -- reflect with it, focus with it.
Lightning Flash -- Expect The Unexpected!
August 3, 2009
A bolt from the blue, the cosmos responds with a blazing flash of light. In Star Journey, the symbol of The Lightning is the instantaneous crackle of energy unleashed. This is a state of high breaking energy, a flash that is both critical and unstable. We do not know where the lightning will strike, or whether it impact the ground or simply flash in the sky. Expect the unexpected. The lightning may illumine and carve a new path.
Tap Into Your Sense of Source
July 31, 2009
Be grounded and connected as a base for future action. The symbol of The Root in Star Journey describes this inner quality of a deep stabilizing factor, of having issued from a source. Whether it is family or heritage or something less defined, we are all backed by roots of one kind or another. Draw upon this inner connectedness. Feel strength from tapping your own sense of source.
Express Your Caring Side
July 27, 2009
A part of you wants to give and connect. Allow this to be seen by others, so they can respond. In Star Journey, the symbol of The Lover describes this desire to express one's giving and intimate side. This is about giving rather than receiving, and engaging and being close to those around you. Put aside concern about rejection. Let your passion and desire be known, and the world will receive and respond to you.
The Courage To Be Searching
July 24, 2009
Sometimes the status quo just isn't enough. An urge in you says there is more. In Star Journey, the symbol of the Wanderer tells of this drive, this impulse to explore all that is possible, all that is available to us. You may feel the seeker, restless, dissatisfied, and driven to find something better. Well, Bravo. Whatever the truth may be, it is out there. The courage to search it out, to know, leads you there!
The True You Shines Through
July 20, 2009
We have many faces we project to the world. Some are based on how we respond in situations, at work, in love, in dealing with others. At the same time, we reflect our own self-image, whether it is positive or self-critical. In Star Journey, the symbol of the Mask describes this challenge of individuality. The question is: can you be who you really are and successfully deal with life? There are so many ways, so many masks, we can choose. The answer is a challenge and an opportunity -- you can be true your own sense of self, and you can deal with outside events. Try it; believe it. Let the true you keep shining through!
Your Cup Is Bountiful!
July 17, 2009
Your lot in life. Some days you wish you could trade it in. Other days you feel truly grateful and blessed. The cup may appear half empty or half full. The Star Journey symbol of the Cup stands for this challenge of self, and for the transformation that can come from it. Instead of bemoaning or resisting what comes in life, you can choose to see the glass half full. Use your mind, choose to view the cup as a chalice. Partake of the wine of life. Within it you'll find bounty and rich reward. Drink of the vessel, and it will be replenished with contents even more fulfilling.
