  • Pink Full Moon

    The spiritual meaning of the Pink Full Moon in April 2025, specifically when it occurs in Libra, is about renewal, healing, and balanced relationships. It encourages emotional clarity and inner peace, urging us to consider our connections and patterns. This moon also symbolizes fresh starts, growth, and the return of life after a period of dormancy, much like the blooming of flowers in spring.

    Here’s a more detailed look (all generated by AI):

      Renewal and Rebirth:
      The Pink Moon, named for the phlox flowers that bloom in spring, signifies a time of new beginnings and the resurgence of nature after winter. It’s a time to embrace fresh starts, both in personal and professional life.

      Emotional Healing and Clarity:
      This full moon encourages emotional illumination and allows us to release unresolved emotions, fostering a greater connection to our inner truth.

      Balance and Relationships:
      Occurring in Libra, the sign of balance, harmony, and relationships, the Pink Moon calls us to evaluate our interactions with others and ensure our connections are reciprocal and supportive. It’s a time to assess how we move in partnership with others and create more harmony in our relationships.

      Introspection and Release:
      The Pink Moon in Libra, opposite Aries, can bring up old wounds and insecurities, prompting us to release what no longer serves us and to re-evaluate our relationship patterns.

      Venus and Romance:
      With Venus, the planet of love and beauty, in its exalted position in Pisces and then going direct on the same day as the full moon, the Pink Moon in Libra is considered the most romantic of all full moons, bringing a sense of love and connection.

      Practical Applications:
      The Pink Moon is an ideal time to journal, meditate, create vision boards, or start new undertakings. It’s also a good time to purify your surroundings with incense or sage and connect with your soul’s mission.

    This morning my prayer/meditation time included listening to some gospel piano. A friend, Tom Kuhlman, sent me the name of two artists: a man named Julian Brock and a woman named Denise. As I listened I began to write in my journal:

    Jen and I had much lovely sharing about living with anxiety and a desire to control and freedom in Jesus. I boldly ask for a heart of love and trust and release of this history of fear. I hear, “THIS IS YOUR HEART. It is the mind/mammalian body that reacts with fear.”

    I open The Daily Tejaniya and read, “Usually when meditators practice meditation, they are not that interested in learning the truth of body and mind. They are trying to control the body and mind.”

    The primary scripture about renewing the mind is Romans 12:2: “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

    Also in my email inbox this morning, a message about spring by Reid Tracy from Hay House:

      Just like the earth begins to wake up and renew itself, we can do the same. Louise believed deeply in the power of affirmations to help us shift our thinking and reshape our lives.

      Two affirmations that feel perfect for this time of year are: “I welcome new beginnings into my life” and “My life is continuously blossoming with opportunities.”

    May all beings blossom with these pink full moon possibilities….

  • Grow Through What You Go Through

    Light rain was tap dancing on the metal roof of the lanai as I sat in the darkness waiting for the sun to make its debut thinking about a dear friend of mine whose brother-in-love is going to be having lung cancer surgery soon. She has been a champion of ours for decades, having thrived through cancer herself. A video interview of Jane’s Imagine Healing Journey is featured on our website.

    I imagined her sharing the Imagine Healing process with him….

    Opening email from The Daily Tejaniya I read: “Practice with the idea of not trying to create an experience. Instead, just take your experience as it is and try to learn from it.”

    You can see the middle path!

    Doing the process of Imagine Healing supports the central nervous system so the physical body has the best opportunity for healing. Having done the process, you are much more capable of being present to learn through your experience.

    Our granddaughter is going through a lot right now. I sent her a photo of a sweatshirt I had seen on Facebook with the words: Grow through what you go through.

    A quick internet search for that phrase took me to a sweet website which listed 12 Hacks to Grow Through What You Go Through. Number 3 on the list is about how you can grow through your fears.

      We don’t run from our fears; we go through them. To get past our fears, we need to do three things:

      1) acknowledge them,

      2) let them go, and

      3) replace them with something else.

    That list took me to a post by another Facebook friend and colleague, Lisa Gordon (I was trained in Healing Touch by her mom, Janet Mentgen). Lisa posted a sweet reminder from “The Female Hustlers” offering a perfect way to navigate these last days of December 2023:

      De-cember
      de-clutter
      de-tach and
      de-lete
      anything that
      de-values your life.
      Don’t bring
      it into 2024.

    Whatever is happening in your life right now, may you grow through all you go through.
