In this whole world of all these programs These brains, these souls, the faceless, the damned Who knows where you been, But the you who's walked the steps? The eyes perceive from infinity one of infinite dreams that's then ones "reality" So doesn't that mean, if we all truely be, we would all just be a lil' crazy? Free your own mind from inside this glass box The hoax fueling us with mad thoughts Feeling like a Judged pawn With a "right", a "wrong", "I Need to write a song" Cause "I gotta make it or I won't have made it" And "I gotta prove I'm unique and worth it; Not crazy and worthless" Free your mind from this glass box; Wipe your lenses. You've got the choice to see clearly, So stand up, remember where the dance is. One, your perfection is eternal and your voice is a Truth. nothing can touch it, Not even you. But when your minds slips down Into a dark ass rabbit hole You might start carving molds, diggin deeper holes, prayin "where did the light go?", but, dear, don't forget what you hold! Feel the good in your soul and you'll wanna stop hurtin it anymore All that pain and misery That's constantly churning By who? Only the one perpetuating the discernings that's You, see, thats Me, It's always back to ourselves, don't you see? No pain inflicted by others if you realize The space and time illusion; How all is divine. So all just resides Is just a reflection of yourself. So now, why hide, from yourself? You Are that problem that you've dealt. As creative beings we create So why hesitate to create something beautiful for the soul? Fill that mind with voices of gold. You create, you create all the voices inside Don't hesitate Especially when you wanna hide Cause the change can come only by the eye who percieves Got an idea? Create it yourself, shift, be free. dive out of the glass box, Wipe those lenses, You're already perfect, But the choice, It's up to you, To see perfection

Tonight is The Full Snow Moon (also known as the Storm, Chaste, Quickening or Hunger Moon) It is our wake up call. During this time, all in nature is pure and full of potential. The hibernating creatures are beginning to slowly arouse themselves, quickening their heartbeats and creeping out of their dormant period. Mother Earth is gently awakening full of new possibilities. The Snow Moon uses the same force upon us.

There is a gentle pulling upon our consciousness at this time, we become aroused to the latent forces within ourselves, now is the time to turn the mirror in upon ourselves and see what is reflected. A time to grasp the buds of new paths and ideas and like nature, be prepared to welcome life anew.

February’s Full Moon is in Virgo, this is the sign of ambition and work, you should feel a rush of energy and want to get things done. The Virgo Full Moon message is awaken to your heart’s desires and act on your truth, figure out what it really is you want from life, then work out a bold plan to achieve it.

The Virgo Full Moon can be emotionally charged. Virgo is larger than life. Virgo rules big emotions. Virgo doesn’t like drama. You may feel overly sensitive to the remarks and actions of other people. The Virgo Full Moon may feel pretty intense. If you like things intense, you may well enjoy it’s spark and energy, but if you’re already feeling somewhat jaded and in need of a rest, it might be a good time to lay low and let the world pass you by for a little while rather than engaging too deeply with it!

The Full Moon will be very bright tonight as it highlights our lives and shows us underneath the masks we all wear on a daily basis. This is a time to harness your inner power and your strengths and look to the future, make plans, and be brave in your decisions. The cosmic message is to balance your heart with your head. Find the middle ground in your relationships. Live from your heart, yet, be practical in your approach to your dreams and goals. Plant the seeds of fate within ourselves and watch them develop over the coming months.

The best part of Virgo is the inner child. You are to nourish and protect your childlike innocence. You are to be open to new ideas and fresh perspectives. Be curious about life. Be engaged in the magic of the moment. Be in your heart. Let go of the need to criticize and judge yourself and others, this will kill your creativity, Instead allow yourself and others to make mistakes, it is the only way we learn what works and what does not work for us. There’s a sense of free-spirited enjoyment, a faith in happy outcomes and the ability to speak from love and the heart.

The Moon is plump with positive energy. There are no negative aspects to this Moon. This is a celebration Moon. Rewards for the hard work and intense striving will come to you. Virgo is an earth sign. Mother earth is transforming right now as we move from winter into Spring and will soon start to blossom and bloom. Let the earth transform you into a beautiful new direction full of potential. This is a time for  personal growth and deep cleansing and gathering our strength for what’s to come.

Have a blessed Full Moon, May the Goddess watch over you.

It doesn't matter what you do It matters who you ARE

Deep deep inside

If they would only realize How those little movement ignite Those voices she's got inside Screaming, reminding her of those nights. though, she keeps them neatly tucked away In a box that says "fragile, may break" She's kept them locked away Swallowed the key in hopes it would just fade. As the child in her weeps Tantrums torture her sleep. "What does it mean? What does it mean?" And in the dark of the night, she's emptied. But, she's alright, she knows. She's no victim, She knows. "Why do I feel so closed?" In hoards they tear in scorn at her. And in her throat a knot is pulled even tighter. Because these demons, they don't lie. And she hear them. She hears them in the call of the night She hears them in the distant light. But she lies. Denying their existence for fear of their presence. And when she tries to run free, How fast she goes. But how fast Her shadow always follows. when those small movement are made And to her hips arms make way, She cringes in both hate and pain At what happened in those days.

Let yourself release into the earth. You can be in society but be not of society… Stay free. Don’t let your school or your job (if you’re it’s not already what you love) mentally enslave you and keep you from enjoying the moment… Stay centered and focused on your own being, keep fostering your dreams, and believe, know, encourage yourself to not only get through but thrive through all that life throws at you. Let’s grow 🌞🌱☘🍃

Hawaii livin' and lovin'... Oh how I miss you my ohana, the land my soul resonates with most.... But the aloha is forever and eternally instilled deep within my being. Until the waves and current pull me back your way <3

Express yo expression

Some days, I feel dull.. i feel slow and like i am a cloud being, just a haze, walking through moments. 

Then i remember… expression. 

I remember, that at any moment, I can let out my own voice and paint through my reality.

I can add my own rainbow to the moments I am in.

Like a tree, we all have branches that extend our being out into the space around us. We have hands to create; feet to run, dance, glide, swim; we have a voice, which projects itself through tonal vibrations all around us..

We have this innate ability to extend ourselves, expand ourselves, into the moment we are in…

We ARE creative beings….

And our openness to flowing with whatever flows into us, can bring such profound realization. Remembrance of our true essence.p>

we need our openness to express

to share 

that which is flowing through us in the moment…

whether it is a flow of words coming through you,

a movement, dance, of your being

an embrace of joy,

soft tears of sadness,

or raging tears of fire,

express, my friends, 

express.

We are here to add our own unique flare to the picture, and I, my friends, am setting out to express my self as freely and as often as I choose; through words, through dance, through poetry, through singing, through just total vibing and soaking in all the beings around me… cause listening is an art too… ;)

But really, it can be hard to do this sometimes, because it seems that a lot of the “outer” world, or rather, this “system” we’ve been sucked into doesn’t always seem to be so encouraging for us to be so expressive and creative.  We forget to fly free in all direction and expand ALL of the air surrounding us… it’s just flock mentality… and it’s never too late to take those wings you fly with now and expand above, dive bomb below, do flips and crazy shit.  

So write your own script.

Do it.

Find the beat of your drum and go by it….

live in the flow of life that YOU LOVE. Take life at the pace you love to be at, even when everyone else seems to be moving a lot faster or a lot slower. We have nothing to gain, and nothing to lose… so all there is left to play.

Play your play. play with love. play with passion.

Anxiety~ my greatest teacher

I was chatting with my soul brother and came to express how much my crazy anxiety has taught me and brought me to where I am now, of being in full power with my being over my mind, and finding the peace that my mind used to cloud up and cover…

“Truthfully , my anxiety has been my biggest teacher. It’s teaching me that I can always be in control of my mind, because it’s showed me what it feels like when I don’t feel in control of it. I feel helpless. I feel like crawling into a dark small hole. Through my anxiety I’ve learned what I don’t like to feel like, and that I can always, in any moment, change that feeling. I can let go. I can stop feeding the thoughts by stop givi them my attention. Stop fueling them. It’s truely one of the most raw and tearing down kind of thing I’ve dealt with, my incredible anxiety, but now that I’m coming to terms with it again and again and again, I’m realizing with more clarity than ever thus far how much it has taught me… About self empowerment, about being in control of myself, if not being my own enemy, and how simple it all truely is”

[theessence36]

When you don't seperate yourself from what's happening around you, getting all stuck in that chit chat chatter of your brain, it becomes more apparent that we are always being communicated to, cause we start to actually listen by telling that chatter box inside to shut up or tone down, hehe Look around look around, listen to such profound sounds~ Like snapping out of some self induced coma like your feet finally met the ground. All the movements breathing Like the trees swaggin in the breeze And the breeze is just as happy Bumpin it with the trees They're all playing Communicating Tune into the resonance too, It's so amazing. Don't just daze into the screen Drop out into limited imagery Or what's real will fade into some haze And you'll just feel all alone. Wake up Turn your gaze Skyward to the heavens, infinite dimensions See side to side All that collides coincides with YOU As you are the truth In this wholistic God paradigm Holographic collaboration Set sails To all creation

[theessence36]

You are infinite- experience all aspects of YOU

I write this after being in such a moment of shlum with myself. All because, well, I was trying to fit myself into a box when I don’t belong in one. None of us do. No one.

See, sometimes, we feel the need to put ourselves on some sort of level, make some sort of personal agreement that “This is who I am” “This is how I am” “I believe in this”. To that I say, good for you if you are recognizing who you are in the moment, or what passions your heart are ablaze with, but if you are really trying to just figure out WHO you are and set defined terms on YOU, hold on. Stop. Hear me out... if you are anything like me, you’ll soon feel that, when a part of you, or life around you, is trying to change (the one thing constant), it will be a hell of  a lot harder for you to welcome in that change. Why? Because such a big part of you, a lot of your energy, is going towards building some concrete, defined part of you that say “ I am (name) and these are the ways I am. Period.” 

Stop trying to define yourself. You are not concrete. You are fluid like a stream, that is constantly carving it’s way differently, moving despite all the change- move WITH the change. And it starts when you realize that, building yourself up to try to understand who you are in some cognitive, always recognizable state,, will just make it

 a) a lot harder to accept the way things are when they shift

 b) harder to accept how YOU are; how you are feeling, how you react, how you interact 

c) harder to see all the things you COULD be seeing if you came from the perspective that ALL things are valid and can go recognized or unrecognized. When we set ourselves up to see things in a “this is what i believe, this is who I am, and nothing else really matters”, well, then nothing else WILL matter. And some of those nothings could be really BIG and LIFE CHANGING nothings that you are missing simply because you are dismissing them without even giving YOURSELF the chance to see them.

So, basically, the gist of this is: You are infinite. You are constantly changing. You are beyond measure and definition. So recognize yourself in this Now, but then continue to rerecognize all that is in other Now’s. Give yourself the acceptance that all that you are is all you ever have to be EVER in that moment, and that loving yourself now takes nothing but appreciating who you are in this breathe... you don’t have to love all that you’ve been; y ou just have to love who you ARE. the appreciation for the rest will then follow. 

Much love and light to everyone on this evening!!

Shanti
