It's a New Month and yet we continue to be under the introspective energies of the Eclipse season and the heavy energies of Mars retrograde. So, we will all continue to be asked to look within to find what we have been longing for and to be willing to make big changes. The key to weathering those transformational energies is to stop resisting the changes and let go of the plans that your mind created for you to keep things the same so that you can feel safe. Today, instead of setting intentions for this new month, surrender to what is and let go of the resistance that has not let you rest or feel comfortable, as you shed your old skins and become new again. Today, begin this new month by recognizing that what you resist will persist. Whatever pain from your past you’ve tried to outrun, you can’t avoid it forever. It will follow you until you face it and work through it. Once you learn the lessons you need to learn, you can break your patterns and you can stop suffering. Today, consciously let go of making yourself the victim in any situation. Surrender to the fact that life isn't always fair but hanging onto the injustices that you have experiences will stop you from moving forward., despite your best thinking. Today, stop blaming anyone or anything for your present situation. When you blame others instead of accepting that sometimes things just don’t play out the way you wanted them to, you remain stuck in that situation and in all likelihood will find new opportunities to remain a victim. Finally, today start this new month off by stop rushing and pushing things to happen more quickly than they are supposed to and remember to breath. When discomfort arises in our lives it is counterintuitive to do nothing, but not all struggle is a question to be answered.And, sometimes, we can become addicted to or attached to the familiarity of suffering. In truth, we are the ones that created the situations that keep us suffering. Today, begin this new month with gratitude. Be thankful for the experiences and subsequent lessons. Painful though they may have been, they can make you stronger, wiser, happier, and better able to love and be loved. Knowing this makes it much easier to let go of what was so you can receive what is to come. Begin this new month by remembering that “Nothing ever goes away until it has taught us what we need to know." This new month set your intentions to surrender and to learn your lessons.

Just for today, I surrender to what is. I let go of what was and I have faith in what will be. And so it is.
