The Moon Rules

The sun, the moon and the stars have always intrigued me.  The night sky especially, with its magical twinkles and mystical moonlight seems to speak a sacred language all its own.  Nonetheless, the intricacies of astrology and the influence of the moon’s cycles have never drawn my conscious attention.

Until now!

In the last few months I have learned first-hand how knowledge of astrological information can be used to help us attain goals and manifest opportunities that would have been difficult or impossible otherwise.

It all started last year when a friend suggested that I use my blogs from the past six years as a foundation for a larger work.  When I thought about it, I realized that many of my blogs addressed similar themes and it was intriguing to think of organizing them into sections addressing similar topics, then writing additional information to close gaps and link sections together in a linear and more comprehensive whole.

I even wrote an introduction and started grouping topics.  Then I stopped.  I don’t know why.  The momentum just wasn’t there anymore.  I’m sure many of you have experienced the same thing when starting or trying to move along on important projects.

Not that this sort of procrastination is unusual.  In fact, I imagine my behavior at this point was more normal, more like most people’s than not.  But it certainly wasn’t getting men anywhere.

Then, in January, I joined a women’s group that focused on learning about the cycles of the moon and how we can use them creatively to better understand our behavior and reactions as well as how to harness the moon’s energy to help us move more easily through life.

In this group, I learned how the waxing and waning of the moon affects our lives and creates cycles where some activities are best done under one condition and others at another time.  We also learned how the position of the planets and sun interact with that of the moon, creating even more information we can use to organize our lives and further enhance our endeavors.  It was all very fascinating.

At one point in the middle of the series, one of our teachers remarked that the position of the moon and the planets in the coming week would be beneficial for writing.  This comment immediately triggered thoughts of my stalled book project.  With that thought came a wave of passion and inner certainty that this was what I had been waiting for, so I reorganized my schedule to clear the next week for writing.

What happened next is truly amazing.  In the next two weeks, I completed the main part of the book.  In the two weeks after that I added three more sections. In a little over a month I wrote a two-hundred and seventy-page book!!  With the help of the moon and knowledge of how her cycles and her relationship to other planets can affect my life, I accomplished an almost impossible task in record time with joy, passion and ease.  During this time writing was never a chore.  I looked forward to each day and each moment working on the project.  But neither did I work to the exclusion of everything else.  I still had plenty of time to spend with my family, walk and play with my dog, see my friends, and work on other artistic pursuits.  All in all, it was the easiest bit of work I have ever done.

The book is called “It’s All About Energy:  Adventures in Expanded Reality”.  It explains why energy reality is so hard for most of us to grasp, and offers tools to make it more accessible.  It describes the rules that govern the world of energy and how different they are from the usual rules we use to organize our physical reality. This knowledge can make life easier and more manageable as well as more magical and miraculous. The goal of this book is to make energy reality available to everyone.

Through this writing experience, I realized that knowledge of the moon and stars is intimately connected to the essence of the book.  The positions of the sun, moon and planets change every day, and as they change, so too do the energies they emit.  Learning to flow with these energies rather than fight or resist them, is part of allowing energy to serve us.

As astounded as I am over how easy this project was, I really shouldn’t be surprised at all. Learning how to flow with celestial energies is just one more example of how energy awareness can make hard things effortless.

My book is now published.  You can learn more about the energy realm in “It’s All About Energy:  Adventures in Expanded Reality”, found on Amazon, and on my website, www.transformationalexpansion.com.
