Bringing the Darkness into Consciousness

“One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” - Carl Jung

On Monday, November 2 at 2:14pm Eastern Time and 11:14am Pacific time, we will experience the Full Moon in Taurus. This full moon invites us to embrace the shadow aspects of ourselves by bringing light and awareness to areas that have been dormant, hidden, or running our lives unconsciously. We are being called to reform beliefs, behaviors and values that no longer serve the highest expression of ourselves. This full moon is a call for Truth, influencing our ability to face and embrace our shadows, our inner saboteurs and inner critics.

One way to expose the shadow within ourselves is to fully witness and observe its voice, needs, and gifts.

• What is the voice of our inner saboteur saying to us?
  
• What does this voice (or aspect of ourselves) need?
  
• What is the gift the saboteur is offering us?

During the coming weeks, we have a powerful opportunity to bring conscious awareness to the dark shadow aspects of ourselves. We can do this by acknowledging how strong this voice is within us. We can begin to see the gift in the shadow if we allow ourselves to observe it’s antics with love, acceptance and detachment. How has our shadow protected us, motivated us, and inspired us to be the person we are today?

Please join me Monday night for a Full Moon Meditation Circle from 5-6pm before Conscious Conversations begins. We will come together in community and tune into the forces of the Taurus full moon using the singing bowl, meditation, and quite contemplation. We will invoke the light to shine on the hidden aspects, hidden potential, and covered up dreams that lie within us, asking for the truth of our desires to be known.

Happy Halloween!
