Context: If you know me well, you know I have amazing super powers in getting shit done and an uncanny ability to execute (and complete!) very large and complex ideas. Zero shame in my game. Indeed, the momentum and discipline I naturally carry boggles my own mind sometimes. And if you don’t know me well, just know that I’m a quintuple Scorpio born at Dawn on a Tuesday on a Full Moon (Need I say more?) Anyway, I’m super “stuck” in a very particular area of my life. Stuck in terms of being driven by (personally, to me) important powers of responsibility and obligation but also a finicky little tickle that I can’t (and won’t) settle for less. I want to use my superpowers of accountability and tenacity to dislodge this present “stuckness”. So: I hereby propose to myself a living, breathing science experiment. I’m somewhat educated in a number of metaphysical and yogic disciplines that could prove to be helpful here and I’m also a real deal scientist. (A degree'd chemist to be exact.) I’m curious what might happen if I pulled all the elements together in a big focused inhale and then released the pent up energy on the auspicious full moon next week? Why? Well, the timing feels right and besides, I’m motivated by this particular "stuck" area of my life. (I’d rather not say what area, exactly. To each Her own, mkay? You have your own stuck areas, surely.) 

Here goes...

Purpose: To spend the week leading up to the aptly named Super Flower Blood Moon (also the celebrated auspicious day of the birth, enlightenment and death of the Buddha) developing a heartfelt Prayer and intention that I will offer to the powerful forces of life. This will simultaneously be the most woo-woo-hoo-doo thing I do all week coupled with the most direct, clear, no-bullshit course of action, destined to manifest because I will have harnessed my intentional Prayer to the physical elements and to my own creative, blooming, embodied life force energy. (That, my Adept friends, is magic!) It might feel right for you to join me at this time. Please do! The roadmap is outlined below. See if it speaks to you, I would welcome a companion or two. I'm a bit lost at the moment, tbh. 

Approach: If you’re “in” we will have a “Zoom In / Zoom Out” approach that we perform together through a series of simple morning writing exercises culminating with a Day dedicated to embodying the Prayer: the Super Flower Blood Moon on Wednesday, May 26. Important note to interested Selves: full and rigorous live participation is requested for best results of this science experiment. Because make no mistake: this is a living, breathing science experiment where I bring many things that I have learned into an elongated experience where I can dive deeply into Realizing a fervent Prayer burning in my heart. Do you also have a fervent Prayer that needs some ignition? If so, again, you’re welcome to join me. I would love and welcome companions.

Sadhana: This particular science experiment has its own unique sadhana, or set of rhythmic practices that help keep the Forces “on the rails”. As many are aware “off the rails” is a place where we sometimes can get with these things. And it’s easy to get “off the rails” - so, so easy. So easy to not meditate. To lose focus and get distracted. So easy. A proper sadhana keeps things “on the rails” in the general direction of the Prayer. Or Dream. Or in an arc of human evolution as demonstrated by the Great Teachers of all the world’s traditions. A disciplined sadhana seems to be key in all of these scenarios. 

How: for this particular science experiment, we’ll work with several moving parts, all of which will be outlined in detail over the course of a week:
  • A disciplined daily writing sadhana starting at 7am with about a 30 minutes time commitment per day to help develop a well-articulated unique Prayer. (You will write to develop your own unique Prayer.)
  • Deepening clarity about the science of the moon and the higher order of celestial bodies.
  • The science available to us in the seasonality of Spring, working with a Force I see blooming right there in the yard. 
  • The discipline of spending time literally embodying this Prayer. (You will of course develop and embody your own unique Prayer.)
  • The art and science of despacho-making where we harness the elements in the holy fire of transformation. (Don’t worry, I’ll show you the way - it’s not hard and makes perfect common sense once you sortof see what a despacho is.)
  • Overarching oath to myself: to have faith in the Prayer I develop and the mysterious forces of the universe. Who knows, the universe might even conspire to support and help me? And you too? May it be so! 
  • If interested and want to take some inspired action, just email me (ASAP!) and I’ll get you in the queue for Thursday morning. (Like, in just a few days, this coming Thursday morning.) And hey, it’s okay if we don’t know each other well, I genuinely would like any interested company for this journey. Let’s do it, Adept comrades! 

May it be so.

    May it be so.
