“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”~Buddha

Have you ever found yourself trying to “figure out” or investigate something that didn’t feel right? Has someone lied or withheld information from you and you set your feet upon a path of “finding” the truth?

How many times has your energy and attention been outside of you looking to find the truth or an explanation of what’s happening? Personally I’ve done this throughout my life and the funny thing is that the moment I stop looking outside of myself and stand in my truth, the truth always seems to find me.

If you are looking “outside” of yourself for the truth you are not open to the truth that is already inside of you. You know there is an untruth (or withholding) in play because something doesn’t feel right at some level. When this happens do you leave your space to go out and find the answer? Does your wilful blindness come into play? In other words the truth is there but you choose not to see it, hear it or believe it. Sometimes we ignore “truth” because we are moving along in our own self propagated bliss and we shut off our intuition.

There’s a famous movie line which states ‘you can’t handle the truth’. It’s not that you can’t handle the truth it’s the “facts” you might have a challenge accepting. You can handle truth but may not really want to see and acknowledge the facts. Let me assure you that you can handle any truth that comes your way because the energy of truth is pure. Initially knowing and accepting the facts might hurt but in the end it feels right and you know it’s right because, well, it’s the truth.

“In a controversy the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for
the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves.”~Buddha

In controversy we strive to be right and righteous. In matters of relationships we strive to be right and righteous and we do whatever it takes to BE right even if it means not facing the facts at hand or seeing the reality of what’s going on. The same can be said for withholding of information. The energy of withholding feels much the same as the energy of lies.

Either way when “red flags” are triggered there is an imbalance of energy which in turn triggers the ego mind and activates the blame game. What if you simply noticed the energy of withholding or lies and could stand in your truth and by doing so allow the facts to come to you? Lies and withholding are “controls” to keep you from making your own decision about something. There is no freedom for either party.

“Truth is by nature self-evident. As soon as you remove the cobwebs
of ignorance that surround it, it shines clear.”
~Mahatma Gandhi

Clearing cobwebs of illusion means looking at the the facts. All of us at one point or another have closed our eyes to a truth that is right in front of us. We have bought the “picture” that was handed to us. The choice belongs to each of us and the answer is usually right in front of our eyes if we choose to see beyond the illusion. Those who feel stuck are really in resistance to the seeing truth of what needs to be released so they can move forward again. The reality is when you seek out truth and clear the illusion, clarity brings more clarity, truth brings more truth and at that point you have the choice to release what’s been keeping you stuck.

When you stand in YOUR truth, the truth finds YOU!

If you are looking for truth, as Dorothy says in the Wizard of Oz “ you don’t have to look any further than your own back yard.” There’s truly no place like home. Standing in your truth doesn’t make you right and someone else wrong. It simply means you are standing in your truth, with awareness. It means following your intuition and your heart. If you are looking for truth, set your crown chakra to vibrate at truth. Stand grounded in your space. The truth will come out. The truth will find you…. it always does.~Shine Your Light Debbie

“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”~Buddha

When the full moon shines it illuminates the earth and sky. What a wonderful reminder to use her gentle energy to heal and replenish! In an all to often harsh world I find that the challenge many people have does not lie in “getting rid of” energy but the forgetting to replenish and return to their natural flow after everything has been released.

Whether scientific or energetic everything has its own balance and the moon affects us just like the sun. The sun is a powerful energy; The moon is a much more gentle energy and we need both in our lives to help us keep in balance and harmony. I think the full moon’s gotten a bit of a bum rap. From movies about werewolves and vampires to the myth that people go a little crazy during a full moon. There are those who cringe or prefer to stay inside and not go out to simply gaze at the beauty of a full moon sky.

Many years ago I went on a women’s camping retreat in Death Valley and we decided to go on a night hike in the Mojave desert. Since the moon was full we didn’t take flashlights. The excitement was palpable as we left our cars and walked into the sand dunes. We stopped to have a ceremony of sorts. There was a gentle breeze blowing thorough the quiet desert and we took time in silent meditation, honored the moon and then as a group of psychic women might do, we started howling and giggling at the bright orb in the sky. It was probably one of the most healing moments I’ve every experienced.

Grounding in the desert under a full moon with desert flowers in bloom has such a peaceful energy about it; That is until you get so absorbed in the beauty and celebration of the moment, you realize you didn’t pay attention to the direction you took while walking IN! Yes, about 20 of us were lost in the desert with only the full moon to light our way. No sign of our cars, the parking lot nothing! Just the endless sand dunes and the light of the moon.

We started walking and trying to find our original trail in but to no avail. The fear lit up, past lives lit up and each person wanted to control the direction we would go. Finally we grounded, cleared the fear, control and female competition (again something that a group of powerful psychic women will do) and allowed our situation to simply BE. Then like the Phoenicians, Greeks and many of our ancient ancestors who traveled to new lands, we navigated back with guidance from the moon.

What probably surprised me the most was how calming and healing the moon’s energy is even though it is a very different from that of the sun. The moon has a quiet way of guiding you back to yourself. In contrast to the sun, the moon’s shimmery glow gently illuminates the darkness and, if you let it, allows you to open your eyes to that which you haven’t wanted to look at quietly and with little drama. Using the energy and glow of the moon to guide you back “home” brings a sense of serenity and peace within.

When was the last time you howled at the moon? When was the last time you allowed the moon to guide you? When was the last time you took a few moments to gaze into the sky to admire the moon and stars? When was the last time you did a full moon meditation and used that energy to heal? When was the last time you….“danced by the light of the moon“?~Shine Your Light Debbie
