Full Moon
This evening I was honored to attend a Full Moon and Cacao Ceremony here on the island of Bali. I sat in the yoga shala with 40-50 yogis from all over the world. The evening was spent setting intentions, letting go of things in life that no longer serve us, dancing, singing mantas and practicing conscious communication.
We explored the polarities of the masculine and feminine with various partner oriented exercises. This evening was a blessing, the music was pure, the space was held with grace by the facilitators and my spirit was filled. We closed the evening with this beautiful mantra. “I am Bountiful, I am Blissful, I am Beautiful”
This mantra is for self-esteem and confidence. What are we dreaming to do? What do we need to let go of in order to move forward on our spiritual paths in life? For myself personally, I am letting go of past baggage, fear, anxiety and self doubt. I’m embracing the season of life that I am currently in practicing self love and self forgiveness. At the age of 37, I’m stepping into myself and my own path, trusting myself and trusting God to carry me through life.
Yogi Bhajan spoke about being Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful in his lecture on 11/12/90.
He said, “If a person says, ‘I am beautiful, bountiful and blissful, the mind has absolutely no authority. Mind doesn't want to lose the authority, it wants to you keep as a slave, keep you running. You want to be a slave? So why not say, ‘I am beautiful, I am bountiful, I am blissful’?
Are you beautiful? You are made in God and He made your nose, designed your eyes and put your ears at the right place. He could have put your ears on the knees. He could have done anything. So not accepting the fact you are beautiful is denying God. Not accepting the grace of the artist is insulting the artist.
Bountiful. Ask the blind man the price of eyes. Ask the deaf the price of ears. Ask the unsuccessful the price of success. Ask a man with one leg the price of two legs. Then you will understand what you mean by bountiful.
Blissful. You are still in one piece with all the wrongs you do. Imagine how wrong you are most of the time, and you are still in one piece. Aren't you blissful?
Beautiful, bountiful and blissful. These three words are the words which you are.” -Yogi Bhajan @3hofoundation
My prayer for you today is to find the beautiful, bountiful and blissful in everything in life. I pray you will experience life to the fullest. Fear is a coward. Do not be a slave to fear. Respect yourself: look up, look in, look forward, look around and look back.
Sat Nam 🙏💙💫

💫Today’s @innercompasscards Reading💫
“When you surrender to love, you let your heart do what it does best: love. Your heart desires, your heart opens, your heart aches, your heart breaks and your heart heals. All these feelings are love. You deserve love! You are Love. If the past has taught you that love hurts, know that estrangement or rejection caused you pain, never love itself. It is safe to keep your heart open, open, only love has the power to heal. this card points towards a period overflowing with love, or shows that love is coming your way. One way or another, it will hit you. It could be that a new love is already at your doorstep, or that you suddenly notice love where you took it for granted before. Love can manifest in an unexpected hug or by realizing your deep connection with a loved one. real love often shows itself in the ordinary and mundane. It does not need to be big, vivacious or perfect. It needs to be real, no matter the shape or form. There is always enough to go around, for everyone and mostly yourself. In the end, it is not a matter of being in love, but of being love. for you are pure love, even when you sometimes forget where to find it and how to act upon it. Love is a great mystery, love is always there.” — Innercompasscards, Neel van Lierop
