SEPTEMBER 2025
Special treat - 7 minutes from the Virgo New Moon + Solar Eclipse + Equinox video from the Lunar Library.
Hello out there!
This month - for obvious reasons - I am sharing meditations that EXPAND OUR SENSE of our POWER. Now, the kind of power we’ll be availing ourselves to is not the traditional, hierarchical “power-over” others, but the kind of power that radiates or emanates from us. This power that emanates - is not something that we demand or force into being. Instead, we turn inward and have experiences and make adjustments in the meditation/dream space which, upon emerging, naturally affects the interplay between our own energy and the energetic floes of energy and information of the great field or web of energy that binds all things.
There is great magical potential in practices like these:
STORM gives us the power of not only surviving a storm, but being revitalized by it.
CIRCLE OF STONES gives us the power to center and ground our awareness here and now.
WILLPOWER gives us extra power (and will!) to meet and match challenging eras in our lives.
SHAPESHIFTER gives us the power of feeling able to change our form and learn new ways of being.
Wishing you the kinds of power this month that radiate out from you to clear your path AND the kinds of power that help and heal the spaces and places far beyond our own personal worlds.

“There are a lot of people living in the world today who aren’t even here. Most of the attention is focused on memories of the past, projections into the future, fantasies of alternate worlds, or on themselves. To the degree that they diminish their awareness of the present moment during such ruminations, their power and effectiveness in the present diminishes.
…
What does it mean to focus on the sensory present, and what are the effects of doing that? It means being more and more consciously aware of the input from your senses. So few people practice real sensory awareness that it is sometimes taught as a meditation technique, and some people do it so well quite unconsciously that they have a profound effect on others around them without even trying.
…
As you place more and more attention on the input from your senses, you may progress through experiences of heightened sensory acuity, relaxation, awresness of energy flow in and around you, awareness of more happening around you than you usually notice … all the way to an increasing realization and an awareness of becoming lucid in the dream..”

“Life is like a game of checkers (if it can be a bowl of cherries, it can be a game of checkers). On a checkerboard, representing the physical dimension, there are sixty-four squares - half black, half red - and twenty four checkers, twelve of each color. At the start of the game you have your pieces ranged on one side and your partner has his ranged on the other. The rules say that you can move forward and take your partner’s pieces when you jump them, and double up or king your piece when you reach the other side, which gives you freedom to move in any direction. Now, actually there is nothing really preventing you from kinging pieces whenever you want to, or throwing his pieces across the room so he can’t move them. You could do that, but you wouldn’t be playing checkers anymore. The rules of the game are limitations created so you can play the game. That’s how the shaman views life. Only the shaman’s game is more like using the same board but changing the rules and the pieces so you can play chess, thereby expanding the possibilities of experience within the same dimension. Creative limitation allows us to improve our creative abilities by enforcing a focus on a certain range and interpretation of experience. Even in the limited game of chess, human minds have not figured out all the possibilities.”

“Since the universe is infinite, you are infinite. If you are infinite, you are everywhere. IF you are everywhere, then you can be aware of anything and influence anything by putting your attention on it. The key to this, then, is purity of intent and clarity of focus.”
