Harnessing the Power of the Universe
Leela Newsletter
Namaste,
I hope you're doing well.
And I hope you're keeping up
with the energy of this month.
For those who are keeping up
with the astrology cycles,
a lot is happening this month.
The popular Lions Gate
opened on 8/8.
Along with that,
the two super moons showing up
at the end of this month
presents a profound opportunity
for spiritual growth,
especially when you integrate it
with the fascinating teachings of tantra.
I want to share with you what exactly happens
on both the astrological and tantric level
when these kinds of events happen.
Astrologically, the planets go through a shift
because we are born in a certain planetary position.
So when the planets go through a shift,
we are affected spiritually,
emotionally,
sexually,
creatively,
and if we do nothing about it,
we are simply at the mercy of these shifts.
And tantra says that
there are many powerful ways
that you can start to
channel these experiences
and opportunities in your favor,
and the way you want it.
Keep in mind,
whatever your shadow self is,
it becomes even stronger during these times.
So if the shadow self is rooted in
resentment,
anger,
or suppression,
you feel a little bit more of it.
And I want to share in this letter,
how to heal and transcend that shadow self.
Number one: Be intentional
Set or reset your intentions,
or reflect on them during these times.
Keep these in your mind as you reflect:
What would help you feel more alive?
What would help you to feel more raw, playful, and creative?
As you imagine yourself as a seed, ask yourself:
How would I, as a seed, bloom and feel more abundant?
Number two: Deepen connections
If you have a partner,
this is a great and powerful time
for you to reconnect with them
for a safe,
redefined,
and reimagined intimacy.
You could show up together
to rewrite your intentions
or simply meditate together.
Number three: Journal
Indulge in a journaling practice,
reminding yourself of
what you need to let go,
and what you need to invite in.
What kind of experiences do you wish to have more of in your life?
What kind of people or organizations you wish to work more with?
Keep the meditation in your mind
before you sleep
and sleep right after
setting your intentions.
On these nights,
these meditations are
a powerful way to reset
your entire energy.
I personally go into rewriting my intentions
or reflecting on how far I've come,
how deep I need to go
and being just vulnerable
with your inner self.
The bottom line is
You don't need to do too much
during these events.
But rather, you need to become available
to that grand and divine
scheme of things.
And it happens when we meditate,
when we surrender,
when we trust.
Whatever is uneasy for you,
invite the energy
to make it easier,
to add more flow into it.
