New vision and inspiration for the journey.
A Mystery School Newsletter from Linda Heron Wind published on each Full Moon

Full Moon Newsletter - March 2009

March 10, 2009, Full Moon in Virgo
Moon full at 10:38 PM Eastern Daylight Time

Taking time to play
Or maybe playing through life
Each moment a play!

Step back and shift gears
Sing with the wind and the birds
Bloom like the roses

What's Happening?

Change is happening everywhere you look. The structures that have become so complex in our culture are beginning to break down and as spring fills the air, we long for simply living. The Full Moon in Virgo asks us to bring compassion into our approach to the problems in our lives. We are being called into a different way of seeing our world and what is important. Each of us is a valuable and unique expression of the whole and we are all needed to make this radical shift in consciousness. To do your part, come back to the most authentic and true place you can find within you. Rediscover the dreams that have always lived in your heart. Feed them and join with others to help feed all the dreams!

Pathway to the Stars: Entering the Circle of the Soul

Mystery School takes us on a journey to higher consciousness and the embodiment of the divine energy that we are. A prerequisite to using the laws of the universe, such as the Law of Attraction, in a conscious and deliberate way, is to be in alignment with your Higher Self or Soul. Manifestation from a lower level of consciousness usually brings us more lessons on mastering ourselves rather than the result that we desire. This course helps you to master each level of consciousness so that you may become a more conscious creator in your life.

This Mystery School course consists of five lessons. Each lesson includes written material with illustrations for study, a lecture, meditation exercises, homework that is emailed to Heron, and discussions questions for the discussion board.

Everyone taking the course has access to the Discussion Group so opportunity is available to connect with others who are studying the same Material. You may work through the lessons at your own pace.

Lesson 1 - Circles of Consciousness
Lesson 2 - Mastering the Circle of the Mind
Lesson 3 - Mastering the Circle of the Heart
Lesson 4 - Mastering the Circle of the Soul
Lesson 5 - Living from Awareness

Stalking awareness
Is like looking for water
While swimming in it

Ritual

Feeding Dreams - On this Full Moon, look at what your dreams are and how much of your time you spend feeding them. Make a commitment to do at least one thing each day that feeds your dreams and, better yet, make all of your actions consistent with your dreams. You may wish to ask some friends to come together in a Visioning or Dreaming Circle that would meet once a month on the Full or New Moon to believe in and support each others dreams. Visioning a solution to a problem in your life is powerful and having others vision it with you is even more powerful.

Spending time wisely
I feed my dreams everyday
With all my actions

Meditation Exercise

Trusting the Mystery - Get into a comfortable position and take a few deep breaths, dropping a root down into the Earth and breathing branches and leaves up into the Sky and Stars. Imagine that you are outside at night looking at the starry sky. Perhaps the Full Moon is rising, big and orange on the East horizon. You can see on this clear night the Milky Way snaking its way across the sky and you focus on the vastness of this universe. You become aware that everything you see out there also exists within you as a mirror image. Like the whole sky being contained within a still pond, it is also within your belly, your being. Each star and every being in the universe is within you. The whole Earth is within you. Your mind cannot comprehend the mystery of it all - "as above, so below; as within so without." Yet you can feel it and know it is so within your heart. You are connected to everything, no exceptions. Allow this awareness to permeate your being and rest in the vastness of who you are. When you are ready, you can come back into the present moment and time and space in your physical body, taking a deep breath, and opening your eyes.

Loving mystery
Of life unfolding each day
Of the Earth's rhythms

I Believe in You

Linda Heron Wind

Some of you may have seen the video on U-tube of the young boy who addressed the teachers' conference in Texas recently. His words were powerful as he asked the teachers, "Do you believe in me? Do you believe in my classmates?" What was so moving about his questions was that they touched into the fundamental piece that is missing from our educational system as well as our culture as a whole. When people are raised in a society that is based on competition, believing in each other and holding each other's dreams in our hearts are foreign concepts. Children today are painfully aware of the separation in our world and they wish to heal it.
We have come to the end of the time when individualism and self-absorption at the cost of others is a workable strategy for success. The time that we are moving into requires us to understand our connection, not only to the other people who inhabit the planet, but to everything in the universe.

Connection 101 will be a required course in pre-school, for parents, for educators, for politicians, for leaders, for business people, for inventors, for scientists, and for all humans in the not too distant future. If it is not, we are not likely to be around on the Earth much longer. She says that we must learn to play fair in the sandbox of life with respect for all those playing with us - or we will not be allowed to play any longer.

Each one of us can join the consciousness change in progress as we make choices in our own lives. We can ask ourselves what we can do each day that supports our own dreams as well as those of others. We can walk in nature and ask what the trees, plants, animals and Earth herself need us to do to respect and support their existence. We can examine the chatter that goes on in our heads to see if it is respectful and supportive of others and ourselves, and change it if necessary.

Most of all we can believe - in our dreams, in the dreams of others, in the most amazing and beautiful world that we are part of. When our hearts are filled up with believing there will be no room for wars and conflicts, no room for abuse and violence, no room for anyone feeling less or more than anyone else. Beauty and harmony will surround us and love will rule the planet once more. As we look into each other's eyes, we will feel without its even being spoken, the belief that we have in each other.

I believe in you! I believe in your dreams and your inherent value to the world. Please believe in me.

Connection creates
A space to heal when I say
"I believe in you"
