<\/span>Yet some changes are<\/em> instant. In a blink, we can be light years ahead of where we were just last week. I had this experience with\u00a0meditation, recently.\u00a0I had been trying to rest in a place of physical and emotional balance, when one evening I heard the voice: just sit, listen to your heart, do nothing. Equanimity bloomed. After days of\u00a0feeling nothing I’d been doing\u00a0in my energy healing\u00a0was effecting change, I instantly morphed into someone grounded, connected, and capable.<\/p>\n What is transformation? Many of us think dramatic change involves cross-country moves, career changes, lottery wins, luck or an epiphany that will change everything. Yet true transformation isn\u2019t a material event. \u00a0We’ve all known people whose biographical lives have changed, yet nothing changed. Not really. A new lover arrives, is celebrated, but down the road the same old problems come up again.\u00a0Transformation occurs\u00a0when we remove the obstacles and resistance to what is true, and always right here.<\/b><\/p>\n I hadn’t been resisting meditation, but I did hold\u00a0an\u00a0attitude of accomplishment, striving and judgment around my\u00a0efforts, which was making me\u00a0miserable and blocking me from receiving my connection to Source.\u00a0When I gave up that tired idea,\u00a0it was like returning to an old friend, one who had been waiting years for me. That old friend was me. She had never gone anywhere. Like the clouds that hide the Sun, she had been obscured by noise, agendas, thoughts.<\/p>\n The Scorpio New Moon brings the potential for metamorphoses. At this New Moon, transformations can <\/i>happen instantly. <\/b>We\u00a0may need to drop our resistance, change our attitude or\u00a0stop shying\u00a0away\u00a0from hard truths. Always,\u00a0we know exactly what we need to do in our lives, but we’re so\u00a0often the last one to listen.<\/p>\n I have a friend and client who was delivered a large bill from Saturn- a financial wake up call of sorts. Because her spending habits are causing problems in her family, she has committed to a budget and feels stuck for progress. \u201cI\u2019m paying a vast amount every month and I\u2019m still at the bottom of the mountain.\u201d Good for you, I cheerlead, for getting clear and honest and doing the hard, right work (Saturn). Yet a\u00a0beat later, she mentions she has a friend who can manifest anything she wants, but that she herself believes “some people are just born lucky.”\u00a0With this New Moon in her third house, transformations occur in her mind: by listening to her self, discarding untrue thoughts.<\/p>\n Where does this New Moon Eclipse fall in your chart<\/a>? In this area of life, let go, open up your mind, let go of your resistance and your grievances, forgive, and surrender your tired old arguments and attachments to having things be a certain way.\u00a0 To get what you most want, throw away something no longer useful to you<\/b>. This\u00a0may be a belief, judgment, behavior, inhibition or attitude.<\/p>\n I love what Elizabeth Gilbert posted on her Facebook page, an image of the sea, with big, bold words:\u00a0Transformation=Liberation + Loss. <\/strong>\u00a0So true, and if you’ve followed her journey over the years, from the life she left for her\u00a0Eat, Pray, Love<\/em> journey to the marriage she recently left to be with her dying girlfriend and lover, her life is a testimony to this.\u00a0I doubt I\u2019ve ever gained anything of value in my life without giving up something, first. Even if it was just an idea of myself.<\/p>\n At this Scorpio New Moon, let go of what\u00a0no longer serves you, and be open to the myriad, creative\u00a0ways in which your desires can be answered by the Universe. Change may be an inside, ongoing,\u00a0job but for the\u00a0moment let’s all be receptive to instant\u00a0transformation, in our lives and our world.<\/p>\n image: Landscape with Butterflies by Salvador Dali<\/em><\/p>\n The post Scorpio New Moon: Instant Transformation<\/a> appeared first on Moonkissd by Jessica<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’ve often believed in the power of instant karma.
