Although I already posted yesterday, I realized that today marks a special day.
Not only is it the start of new beginnings with our New Moon coming up, with our preparation days of reflection, it is also a White Mirror Day according to the old Mayan Calendar. As I am interested in all the directions the wind can blow me, I had to write something about this special day.
The Moon and I
In me is this deep connection with the moon. I was born on a Full Moon with spring tide, just before midnight. The moon is therefore already part of my life from the very beginning of my existence. I can look at it with much love. Especially now that I choose 2018 to connect even more with the female, intuitive and creative energies, the moon increasingly takes a more profound place in my daily life. As the Moon is very much connected to femininity and the tides.
The New Moon of 17 March
A New Moon brings me joy, as I know from this day on new opportunities will arise and new connections will be made until the Moon is full again. The moon of today was preceded by several days of completion as the time between a full moon and new moon is the perfect time to finish some business you started. Reflectively you may have tuned in to yourself to see if there are processes that are running now and that can finally be finished. From the Red Blue Full Moon Eclipse on, you can be thrown repeatedly into old patterns that want to be healed and seen. It is possible that during this period you repeat situations that you may already have thought to have processed, but are now starting to reappear. It is not there to cause you more trouble, but to develop yourself further. This new moon in Pisces touches our emotional and more intuitive quality. Because of this, this moon can start to move a lot in your inner world.
The White Mirror Day of 17 March
The White Mirror Day from the old Mayan calendar assumes that on this day we can see everything clearly in terms of ourselves. Can you look at yourself in the mirror, or do you lay all your pain at the feet of others around you? Can you take your own lesson or do you blame the world outside yourself? For some it can be a harsh reality to face.
No ego
According to the Mayan’s you can perceive yourself without ego in the mirror, your own purity, but also all your lessons. Live in the now, not in the past, nor in the future.
The white mirror gives a reflection of how the world really is, the reality. Something that is important in Yoga as well. As the purpose of Yoga is to let go of our ego. Diminishing it more and more with everything we do, being able to distinguish the real from the unreal.
New Moon bearer of New Opportunities
This new moon can start a lot of processes. Also know that the new moon brings new opportunities and challenges for you. Make sure you stay open minded and in connection with yourself. Keep looking, dare to really look at yourself. Whether the mirror is white, silver or purple, it does not matter.
Look yourself in the eye and see who it really is you are seeing!
