As The Ripples Reach The Shore

Good to be connecting again. Now, take stock of where you are. This is a pause point. It is not a time for dramatic new decisions. It’s not a time to initiate a new course of action. Mercury retrograde has just started. Of course this is a regular astrological event, and one of the astrological events that seems to penetrate all the energetic skins surrounding us.
Its likely that issues from the past will be reappearing (or have already re-appeared) to be resolved, finally. You thought they were settled, or stable, but they were not. Now is your time to make your peace, to cap your past, even to close a particular set of behaviours. See them for what they are and turn away from them.
Mercury retrograde can plague communications and decision-making. This time it ends around 12 September, but still, wait a little longer – it only needs a day or two- before plunging ahead with your new decisions or projects. If you act too early you will find that your decisions may need to be changed quickly, or one way or another you will simply see things differently, or feel differently, again quite quickly. Circumstances- perhaps others- will change.
But, soon after September 12th, the time will be ripe for your wider new actions and decisions to fall into place. Of course actions or plans that you initiated some time ago, may well come to fruition now. That good idea you had a little while ago and somehow did not follow up on may well be successfully completed now. It’s also a good time to iron out snags or complications in projects already in hand. Your earlier choices and decisions were good ones; they may just need a little fine-tuning now.
Meantime, enjoying this period of “cooking”. Let your mind and your imagination wander. Don’t take absolutely new decisions unless you have to. And, of course short-term new decisions may be more successful than long-term new decisions right now.
You have much rewarding activity and joy ahead. Indeed for some there is an exceptionally busy, fulfilling period ahead. Accept it. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by any obstacles that might occur from time to time. You are firmly on your path. Celebrate.
Go well, be well.
Love
Michal

PS Next month, 19th September, to reach the Intuitive Month and the ELU- which will be extra informative, you will need to go to www.MichalLevin.com first, but don’t worry, I will let you know in good time. Michal

As The Ripples Reach The Shore 22.8.10 ELU

A moment suspended, like
The blue and silver ripples
Before me – constantly moving, yet
Reaching no destination.
At your mercy, and my own,
I am crouched below the sail
Of a small boat with the
Wind behind me; held on a
Magnetic surface. I am launched
On this journey to be with you,
Without a map, in a territory
With no roads. Yet all around
You speak to me. The waves
Call your name and a thousand,
Thousand grains beneath my bare
Feet remind me of your reach.
Still I pine for you, long
For your presence- and
Grasp, treasure each instant when
You give yourself to me.
Wait! The clouds coming over
The mountain seems to say.
Wait for the summer squalls to ripen,
For the fullness of the harvest.
For the swelling of my heart to
Feed my blood and
Bones. For your strength
To penetrate me; and the
Way ahead to clear; as the
Moment dissolves,
As the ripples reach the shore.
As I land in your deepest domain.

Hello, it is very good to be connecting with you again, especially as so much has been happening for most of us. Have sibling issues been up for you? Or painful power struggles? Let them go. Whether or not you want to, you have to.

Recent days (perhaps even weeks) and the days to come are a great time of birth. Birth, for those of us who have literally, physically given birth to children is rarely completely easy or pain free. However, the amazing fact is that once the baby is born, the joy and love that flows wipes out any of the proceeding struggle (unless you are unlucky enough to face complications, like post natal depression). Well, think of this as the birth. Much blood can be shed. Sometime surgery is even necessary. There is all the drama of a crisis. But, the result will be worth it. Sometimes, it is short, sharp and sweet, that could be your experience too. In that case any passing pangs will be forgotten even more quickly.

Then, I am going to be very practical. There is another issue to face, and it is vital. It is the delivery of the after birth. In childbirth, after the baby is delivered the next stage is the delivery of the afterbirth. This is the placenta and the elements in which the fetus was nurtured and grew: those parts of your life that you no longer need. They may have been vital to the growth, but once your “baby” is born- or your project, or next stage of endeavor, launched- it is vital that they are expelled. Their use is over. If they remain in the body they will cause grave danger.

Make sure that you have expelled any elements of your past that do not nurture and feed your future – even if they were important to your past. Of course it may feel uncomfortable to leave behind something that you feel was important, but often it’s the perspective on the importance that matters.

Look closely and you may see that it was not as important as you thought. (Maybe even a hindrance and not a help).

Realizing this frees you and makes it easier to let go. If on the other hand it seems as if what you are leaving behind played a vital role, and you are sorry- or even guilty- in letting go, then be sure to give gratitude. Thanks and humility are very powerful, and ultimately cornerstone tolls of transformation.

Gain ground now. Press ahead, spiritually, imaginatively, in your dreams and desires if the everyday does not allow room for advance, or your body needs or wants to rest or play. You can claim the place, and the space you need, even if you cannot physically own it now. Enjoy the summer- if you are in the Northern hemisphere, or perhaps the bracing winter if you are in the southern part of the world.

Listen to this month’s ELU to emphasize the message of the Intuitive Month and help you on your path to an ever brighter, stronger and more joyful future, for the benefit of us all.

Go well, be well.

Love

Michal

Birth, and Afterwards – ELU 19 July 2010

You are born, my dearest one,
Blood of my blood flesh of my flesh
You look at me with your
Dark blue eyes that
Hold my image and my dreams,
My dazzling love, my dearest desires.

You will be my greatest teacher,
You will hold my darkest
Secrets in your wake,
You will be the cause of
My deepest sorrows, and
My wildest joys. You
Are my past, as you hold
The very seeds of my future.

Nine months within my body
Separated by a thin pulsating
Wall, sharing blood and flesh,
The line between us
Will slowly grow again.
This time, a firmer boundary
As the years pass,
And your crackling energy
Pushes impatiently past the
Shady confines of the willow
That is my spiritual sanctuary.

May you grow in wisdom and
Strength, beauty and humility.
May you serve as you reap, create
As you harvest. May the sun bless this,
My endeavor, and the moon
Nourish it with inspiration
And the power of dreams.

May I own and honor all
This potential, in my journey
Past the confines of myself –
My birth into my future.

My feet are hardly touching the ground. Thank you to all who joined with me at the marvelous retreat we have just returned from in France.

Something almost magical happened. Looking at the faces around the breakfast table on the last morning, every participant glowed. But I will leave them to tell you how they felt. Peter who came from London writes: “This experience was nothing more or less then a beautiful gift. Not only did I get the chance to grow spiritually at an amazing rate, I had lots and lots of fun. Thank you. I really felt loved and supported throughout.”

And another participant echoes his sentiment: “I just wanted to express once again how wonderful the retreat has been for me, even though I feel that words cannot possibly express the gratitude that I feel. Thank you so much for the love and wisdom that you are offering to all of us. It is such an invaluable gift. I am so happy to be able to connect with you. “

And Felicity who came from California says very simply, “What a wonderful retreat! Thank you. With much love & gratitude, Felicity”

Much love and gratitude- that is exactly how I feel for the privilege of connecting with all.
