Day 7
Full Moon Reflection
Today’s Peace Practice is a Full Moon Reflection. It is the Final Full Moon of 2022.
Life is like being on a canoe trip. Life is the river. You are in a canoe with a paddle. Surrender and trust are skills you develop as you learn to go with the flow. But you also have to learn how to skillfully read the river, adjust your weight in the canoe, and use your paddle, so you can enjoy a joyful ride. If you let your canoe just be tossed around, you are going to get wet a lot and spend a lot of time bailing water out of the boat. Of course, you may tip when you get into big water at first. If you reflect on what happened with honesty, you can learn from the mistakes, and practice your paddling, so you are less likely to flip next time.
That is why it's vital to contemplate, reflect honestly on your life on a continual basis.
The full moon is a wonderful time to do this each month, and with this final full moon of 2022- take time to reflect on this year. Set aside a few hours and do a big overview, or you can do these practices over the next week, using your daily journaling time to reflect intentionally over the past year, to celebrate what is wonderful in your life, the epic views you took in, the places you journeyed, and people you adventured with. And to take an honest inventory of the lessons you learned in the white water of life in 2022, so you can be more skillful in 2023. Because white water is inevitable, it's how you respond and play with the big waves that matters.
More about 21 Days of Peace:
As we enter December, many of you are traveling or will have visitors from the past. These may be family members you are traveling to see, many of you will be spending time with your family of origin. Moms, dad, siblings, grandparents, and caregivers. You will be with spouses, partners, children, and children. Each relationship, each interaction, offers you opportunities to learn. Don’t be asleep or go into auto tune-out mode. Return to your body, your breath, to nature, and your true nature. Return to Peace, reflect from Love, and act in alignment with Truth.
Or you won't be physically with a lot of people, but you will not be alone. This time of the year will bring you into communion with people from your past, or your imagined/ visioned future. All of these are ripe with opportunities for experiential learning.
You can alchemize, transform, any experience into one that brings you greater Peace. From this foundation of peace, all of lifes' experiences can be fully felt, in an unattached way, from the space of unconditionally loving, in flow and joy.
