Full Singing Moon

Full Singing Moon
By Tara Sutphen

Full Singing Moon (celtic) at 19* Pisces will culminate September 12, 2011 2:27am pdt/5:27am edt (almanac).
This Full Moon is a time of deep ponderance and connecting to your spiritual self. How blessed have you been feeling lately. Recalling to combine the soul essence with physical being. We sometimes forget to unite the essential components of ourselves. We can visualize our cells being permeated with sacredness and purity while integrating body strength with our wisdom and trust. Include emotions, as we need continuous reminders to keep ourselves in balance. Why do we tumble down the rabbit hole at times instead of climbing to the highest mountain of elevated potential. Where is it that we don’t offer our uppermost capability. Is becoming competent a learned behavior and may not be natural. The mind has no recollection of what is real and what is fantasy. Thoughts are things, so it’s very important to create the soul agreement of destiny as relevant, saying and doing — physically trying our best to step into a good quality life and progress. No more stumbling forth, only reveling in grace.
What does mastering your life mean to you. Are you the temple of your body, mind and soul. Integration of thoughts and actions, knowing what is truth for you, and if you aren’t living it today you can start in an hour or so. It is never too late to co-create with the power of the God Light. Alignment with all life offers us part of the holy experience to fully appreciate what is outside of us and delving into our personal secret places within. Inside, you have a knowing of many answers to questions, these are from your subconscious and conscious self. Pain is difficult, never trite are these incidents. Life can be magical even at it’s most profane. And that is our hope, expectation and aspiration. Honoring the path of life, recognize and reconnect to your core being to your soul origin. All you, you to shine, the light of life energy.

Full Dog Days Moon


 

Full Dog Day’s Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 
 

Full Dog Day’s Moon (colonial) at 20* Aquarius will culminate August 13, 2011 11:57am pdt/ 2:57pm edt (almanac). This Full Moon is an opportunity to be open and trust your future. No more pessimism or “I can’t”. You are born of the earth and your two feet are on the ground…start walking your talk and talking your walk. Life is meant to be lived. We go through blocks and sour people along our way, and it’s time to stop letting them knock you down. Get up, brush off and start moving forward.

 

How bad do problems have to get before concentrated effort of changing what you can. And if you can’t transform people or your circumstances, where do you make adjustments for you. What has to happen before you make a distinction of people, jobs, and behaviors. What feedback do you need. Are you staying in relationships and jobs that are only tolerable or satisfactory. Is the unrest with you, the circumstances or the job? Sometimes situations seem irredeemable. Do you fix it or let it go.

 

If you aren’t examining your reactions, and you find yourself anxious or frustrated, you could be letting life happen to you, instead of making the power of a choice. Living life a lot of the time feels like a pretend atmosphere. We have to work at keeping life “real”. Set up a list of your ideas and ideals. See if they are close to what you are living and experiencing and if not, you’ll need to adjust to feel more in control and less stuck with unfinished business. Start living a more suitable life. In the light of the moon you have a brighter vision of your tomorrow. You are actively seeking to bring yourself to a high prospective and living life to your fullest potential.

Full Thunder Moon


 

Full Thunder Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 
 

Full Thunder Moon at 22* Capricorn will culminate July 14, 2011 11:39pm pdt/ July 15, 2011 2:39am edt (almanac). This Full Moon is an opportunity to evaluate your highest potential through your work or best job and to move in that direction. In the light of the moon you have a brighter vision of your tomorrow. You are actively seeking to bring yourself to a high prospective, trusting a solid course can be attained. How realistic has your work ethic been so far. Are you falling into jobs or set out to attain them. What are your skills and talent. And don’t say you don’t have any, as everyone is a unique individual and has many attributes even if you hide or don’t acknowledge them. You may not know how to move your life into how you want it to be. There are those jobs that are extraordinary such as a CEO, an Actor or another job clouded by societies view of glamour, but they began with a seed of an idea. When you come back to your innate self, simple pleasures are always the best. The way food tastes, flowers, trees, clouds in the sky, petting an animal. As an example, Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream came about because someone liked ice cream and decided to share their concoctions, a woman in South Africa liked to garden and now delivers wheat grass to many stores. All ideas and desires start as miniscule daydreams. And even if we act on our dreams, does it assure us of winning, well no. But if we never try, then we have a life that we longed for and didn’t generate. Creation, it is ours. And maybe this life isn’t about focusing on refuge and collateral, it may possibly be about trying to gain love and relationships, making them right in some way. To appreciate those in your family relations and who you’ve chosen to love. Although shelter and security are necessary, and there are jobs within your range of interest, you may not have the full range of work skill but you can certainly try. It may not be tomorrow that you land your perfect job or place in the world, but the path lies before you and it’s time for the change that suits you best.

 

We long for our lives to be better overnight, but it’s an ongoing process. We must face the highs and lows, you deserve the very best. What are you waiting for………

    Full Moon Meditation:

    July Thunder Moon culminates July 14, 2011 at 11:39pm(23:39) Pacific/ July 15, 2011 2:39am Eastern

    When I started using the moon for rituals, I would invite a handful of friends. We’d sit around and meditate, talk, enjoy the company, I’d call the circle to order and we would settle into talking about what was going on in our lives. I would speak of the Astrological aspects universally, how it affected us on the planet in general and how it pertained personally to each person. We would process fears and what positive steps could be taken to alleviate those fears. Solutions on clearing the mind and try to come up with less confusing plans on what direction to take in important decisions and everyday life. We would look at what personal goals to pursue and to ask ourselves if our dreams and wants were realistic and to be honest to ourselves about what wasn’t working in our lives and why. The moon is in control of all the water in the world and when it is full…the power of the cosmos at that time is immense. The Moon will be waxing toward culmination when Tara conducts the meditation.

Children Of The Light

Children of the Light

By Tara Sutphen

I thought you’d like this little event, I’ve always been advanced at automatic writing and I try to paint people’s spirit guides from time to time. This is a painting by me, dated April 1990. I called it “Children of the Light” – I don’t normally paint children, but I was compelled one day, I took 2 polaroid photos of this and then painted over it. I was going through my art supplies a few years ago and I asked my kids…who is this…and they chimed Brionna, Shannon and Audrey. And I told them, I painted this in 1990. The painting is of my nieces 7, 9, and 11 years before they were born. Here is the pre-painting and some photos of them…

9* Cancer New Moon


 

9* Cancer New Moon

By Tara Sutphen

 

9* Cancer New Moon (no moon – starry dark sky, the time of dreaming), culminating July 1, 2011. The New Moon comes with a partial lunar eclipse, a time to leave behind grudges or bad habits. This Cancer New Moon is about coming back into the family fold, whether it is your family or family of friends. You are to figure out how you proceed and where you belong. You can start with your gut level reactions to the people surrounding you. Are you feeling content or unsatisfied. Is it you or them. Are they out of control emotionally or physically or is it you. We long to be with people who enrich our life experience. We don’t know where it comes from or why, but we come together with others that either give us the innate kindness and nourishment we crave or we are tested to our limits. Did we make a choice on the other side before we are born…at times we can hardly think so. As we have to face it, it is best when we are honest with ourselves and make the choice to have what we want instead of what we need. And sometimes what we think we want doesn’t serve our lives. There is a base logic that comes with our reality of food and shelter. And most of the time we have this emotional structure that tends to whirl our senses in “karmic khemistry”. We get caught up psychologically instead of reasonably.

Whether in love or in fighting, we have different levels of being in enamored bliss or disdain. Why do we have to experience situations, people, places and events, but we fall right into them. Not being able to avoid what we would rather never experience. Yet, the people we adore, it is heaven. Now is the time to stop stumbling on managing your life. Let go with what doesn’t work for you, and if you can’t then learn the reasons why and apply them to your grace and wisdom. There is a right way to manifest and a wrong way to handle situations and people. Many people make desperate choices, or over-react. The way to gain a steady life is making wise decisions and carefully selecting people, places and things. If your having a hard time and people aren’t being kind, know you are being given road signs and sometimes the only way to change is when the neon sign is blinking before you. Allow your life to be graceful.

We come together with those who help us learn and grow. Not always ‘easy street’. Our biggest challenge will be overreacting to anyone or anything. Love begins with you. Peace begins with you. Courage begins with you.

“I don’t know if I continue, even today, always liking myself. But what I learned to do many years ago was to forgive myself. It is very important for every human being to forgive herself or himself because if you live, you will make mistakes- it is inevitable. But once you do and you see the mistake, then you forgive yourself and say, ‘well, if I’d known better I’d have done better,’ that’s all. So you say to people who you think you may have injured, ‘I’m sorry,’ and then you say to yourself, ‘I’m sorry.’ If we all hold on to the mistake, we can’t see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can’t see what we’re capable of being. You can ask forgiveness of others, but in the end the real forgiveness is in one’s own self. I think that young men and women are so caught by the way they see themselves. Now mind you. When a larger society sees them as unattractive, as threats, as too black or too white or too poor or too fat or too thin or too sexual or too asexual, that’s rough. But you can overcome that. The real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself. If we don’t have that we never grow, we never learn, and sure as hell we should never teach.” ~Maya Angelou quotes (American Poet, b.1928)

Tara will take a group of people for meditations at the different Vortexes August 6-7, 2011, Saturday and Sunday.

Sedona is considered a Spiritual Power Place and Native American Holy Ground. The Vortexes have long been studied and spoken about…and the beauty alone is breathtaking.

Tara will start with a past life therapy meditation in each of the vortexes. We will discuss the past lives. Then right there in the vortex we’ll start to work on alleviating the issues or blocks through deep meditation, imagery analysis and understanding. You’ll be able to gain insight on Relationships (Family or Romance), Health, Money, Happiness, Spiritual, or phobia/fears. She will lead Healings of Body, Mind and Spirit at each Vortex – we will work individually and as a group.

Tara will conduct automatic writing sessions and encourage journaling your hopes, aspirations and overcoming.

The Vortexes are labeled masculine and feminine. We will focus on our inner power in the feminine – what do you want to be when you grow up…who am I….Am I the person I long to be…how do I love….where is my talent and skill……..how can I be clear and clean within myself. The outer power is the masculine – who do I appear to be…Am I who I thought I’d be…where’s my vitality level…..what do I want……am I experiencing my purpose….what are my antidotes. And the list of questions you have for yourself that you can share.

This will not be a hiking seminar, rather a time to really connect and flourish within the vortex energy. So we won’t be going very far in. We will find a comfortable place and be there for hours at a time to do our inner work in an outdoor vortex setting.

August in Sedona – supplies: we will need water, sun block, a hat, correct shoes, if you want to sit on something or bring your crystals and different treasures you can.

Sedona Mystic Training

with Tara Sutphen


The Mystic Training is learning to tap into excellence and merit on our human journey through the exploration of psychic knowledge and connection with the other side. Insight leads us out of vagueness. Not everyone seeks to decipher past blunders or catch a glimpse of the future as it might unfold, but those who do want to search for meaning to their dilemmas and gain confidence to live an important and rewarding life. Opening the five senses leads to deeper- consciousness. Countless are predominant in one or two areas of reaction, never allowing the full range of sensations to enter their mind. Tara will lead exercises into opening the five zones of perceiving. 

And delving into the realm of the other side using meditation techniques to invoke contact with our dearly departed, the Holy Ones and Helpers. Tara instructs how to regulate personal vibrancy and align to the flow of materialization. These types of Sorcing exercises were taught among the Egyptians, Druids, Shaman, Priests, and Monks in the great Mystery Schools of the World.

Learning to manifest the splendor in all things, we want our relationships, love, success, happiness, family, great health, money, knowledge, wisdom to be the best it can be. Tara will help you unblock your psychic centers and assist you to make contact with your Mystics, Spirit Guides and Higher-Self for guidance. Included: Meditations, Life-Force Activation, Sorcing techniques, class discussions, clarification, reflection, direction, deep theories, ideas, solutions, learning to channel , automatic write, using a unique Tarot technique, and accessing the path of your personal truth — opening to the effective and most powerful parts of yourself.

Happy Summer Solstice

 
 


Summer  Solstice, Midsummer, Litha

By Tara Sutphen

21st June

“In the world’s audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight” – Rabindranath Tagore (Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861-1941)

Summer Solstice marks the end of the waxing year.  And the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines.  June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, as  winter begins in the southern hemisphere. On this day, the earth’s “circle of luminescence” will be from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, as there will be 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole. All over the world people honor this day as an important reminder of the apex of light and to cast away evil and their problems. Northern Hemisphere inhabitants use June 21 as the day of celebration, but the splendor of light lasts from new moon to full moon.

Worshipping the Sun’s great power, all cultures celebrate in some way. Celts and Slavs dance around bonfires while Chinese marked the day honoring Li, the Goddess of Light. The celebrants of modern and ancient ceremonies tune in that life comes from the sun. It is life giving and life supporting.  We’ve recently had the good fortune to have electricity, greenhouses, and shipment suppliers. How will you celebrate? We all may not get a chance to dance around the bonfire but it’s a time to bask in the light, sit in the sun, cast our worries away and awaken to our lives.

Full Moon of Horses


 

 

Full Moon of Horses

By Tara Sutphen

 
 

Full Moon of Horses at 24* Sagittarius will culminate June 15, 2011 1:13pm pdt/4:13pm edt (almanac) with a Total Eclipse. This Full Moon called by its Celtic name – “Moon of Horses” is an opportunity to evaluate how you handle your emotions and the extremes you find yourself at times. With the moon comes a most powerful time of the earth’s seas being moved by the gravitational pull of the earth and with a total eclipse, you may be feeling even more restless or sensitive. Usually aspects take you off of your demonstrative nature. But not this full moon, it’s set in the fixed star Aculeus, thus setting the aspect in the Scorpion’s tail. The unrest may be drumming up unfinished business in the most peaceful of people. Where do things go amiss and where do things go correctly. Decisions, have they been right or wrong. Are you using your personal power or mismanaging it. Do you even express what you deem influence and potential. Are you capable of so much more and unable to crest your energy to activate skill and talent. You can’t have talent unless you make the effort to risk and try.

 

Everyone has a rage level, we were born with it and must learn to manage it. Although for some reason many people don’t handle anger correctly at the time and a morass of confusion precipitates. Inferiority, resentment, irritation can go on for some time before we are willing to look at what doesn’t create an environment to thrive. Are you assertive and confident or having aggressive tendencies. Aggression is when you find your-self yelling at others aimlessly, becoming insistent, and uncompromising and with passive behavior locked emotionally away in an imprisoned set of rules and agony. How can we use defeat to further ourselves as we bumbe ahead, clumsily allowing our lives to be perplexed and sometimes it’s hurtful, if not slowly or unwittingly destroying ours or others lives. Where does insight begin, and does it make or break us.

 

A first thought would be to start making ourselves strong in body. When we feel good, generally we are confident. We have the wit to say yes and no to good or bad. As we regain a course of action, focus on a target and add intensity, these can be used as a tool toward a direction. Sounds easy, putting it into action is always the test…as we can dream and talk, talk and talk more. We can make a conscious decision to use an upset as a ‘road sign’ to move in another direction, this can give movement to actions and reactions, bringing greater circumstances into a personal sphere. You take the high road or low road…it’s that simple.

    Deliberation is the banal of focus and to create a life of vivid beauty we must put up with some degree of disdain and unruliness. This does not bode well for all who seek peace and gentleness, but even in nature there must be a yin to the yang. To become one with ourselves we must accept all the facets of our innate fear and shadows, for to cast light on them will bring us out of darkness.

     
     

    “The only justice is to follow the sincere intuition of the soul, angry or gentle. Anger is just, and pity is just, but judgment is never just.” ~D.H. Lawrence quotes (British Poet, Novelist and Essayist, 1885-1930)
