Self-knowledge begets power
This weekend past, I loved the opportunity to speak at an Earth Academy event in Brisbane, Australia.
It was a gorgeous space, filled with 100 women who devoted half their weekend at this busy time of year to connect with themselves, and something bigger. Taking the time to connect with others, and to lift other women higher.
Amidst the sadness and disorientation of a rapidly changing world, I am increasingly feeling a groundswell of kindness and support, devotion and compassion. I am inspired to see many courageous women coming together to speak the truth, be real, and support each other to create a better life.
I feel privileged to have more opportunities than my foremothers, and many women in the world today. You may feel this too. We can enjoy good fortune, and also direct it into making a positive contribution. That may be through passion projects and businesses; it may be as intrepreneurs in companies or workplaces.
It will definitely be through how we ARE on a daily basis with our loved ones; within all our relationships, communities and even complete strangers, on and offline.
The first step is is to know ourselves; to know what unique essence resides within, and how to give from this essence, abundantly, from the overflow. To know how to help others, without over-exerting ourselves, without guilt, without overwhelm.
Self-knowledge begets deep personal power, which leads to the ground-quaking impact that flows from a woman who has cultivated, and is comfortable being with, her own power. Her gift to the world is not about striving: it is about how she is.
The moon’s cycle has been pivotal in my own journey of self-knowledge. The Lunar Abundance practice that I’ve created is not about the moon making us “do” anything.
The Lunar Abundance practice is about allowing the natural light – and darkness- of the moon to guide us home to who we really are.
It’s a practice, which means that it takes time. It involves attention and presence, at each moon phase and in each moon cycle.
You can follow all these for the upcoming year by downloading your complimentary lunar wall planner by clicking here.
Once you download the planner, you will be guided to set an intention at the upcoming New Moon- and beyond.
