New Moon ~ Dark Moon ~ The Great Mother

I Surrender ~ I Receive

The New Moon is all about New Beginnings. It is the reset point of a creation cycle. The Dark Moon is all about EMPTINESS! We surrender all that we think we are and all that we think we have, become fully empty and Surrender to the Great Mother to receive...to receive our next steps, creative ideas, prosperity, perfect health, to receive inspiration, guidance....We fully embrace all that we are and let us be embraced by the Great Mother, by the Creatrix!

The color frequency we are playing with is burgundy. I wear that color and I surround myself with burgundy. I think burgundy, I feel burgundy, I become burgundy.
One of the symbols of the Great Mother, the one I chose to play with this moon is the cauldron.
One of the animal totems is whale...that is the one I choose this moon.
The scent I chose is cedar and the flowers are red roses.
The crystals being I am communing with this phase of the moon is garnet. I have a crystallized garnet that is incredibly powerful!
I connect with the Goddess archetype, the Indian Goddess Shakti.

First I create a sacred space, a little altar in my home with burgundy and with red roses to honor this New Moon, to consciously connect with the archetypal essence of the Great Mother in the face of the black New Moon. I deepen with it in my dreams, before I go to sleep, I call forth the Great Mother in me and all around me. I surrender and then I surrender more, symbolically emptying out all my pockets, opening my hands, my heart, my body, my life, my cells to Her. I give myself over, I offer my Being to Her. I make it a habit this New Moon to open and constantly open more as an automated positioning to the Divine, to Her Creation: ever opening, ever emptying....ever receiving...It is like I am running the program of the Great Mother on my computer that is constantly opening and emptying and receiving from the whole Universe. I consciously close all the other programs that have been running in the background and in the foreground too. I am emptied out to receive for a new moon cycle.

I commune with the element Earth for the New Moon, with the rich soil and smell it, taste it, feel it using all my senses.

This New Moon I choose to surrender all the phantom voices of outside authorities that are running in my sub-psyche. All the voices that muffle the Inner Voice, the whisper of the Divine, that cover the Divine Intelligence I AM. I surrender all the voices that have been telling me what to do, what to be, how to be, what I like, what I don't like, what I should, what I couldn't, what I need....None of them are me. I surrender all of them, let them go, die out, collapse, all the phantoms of voices that are chattering in my sub-psyche: the voices of the parents, society, authorities, laws, rules, culture...All the fears, doubts, insecurities, survival musts, shoulds, needs....I look them in the eye and recognize them as the phantoms, holographic images and voices of the reality that has been jolted into all of us when we incarnated. I look at them and don't go into battle with them. I don't argue with them, I don't heal them, process them...I don't do anything about them...I look them in the eye and in the light of Truth they collapse. I let them collapse...I let them disintegrate...freeing another layer of me....freeing the Inner Voice...I re-commit to the Inner Voice of my own Truth...to hear it...to listen to it...I call it forth in my life, in my being, in my body....I commit to listen to the Divine Intelligence and not to the intelligence of the mind that has been programmed into my being by the society, culture, by this reality. I empty...I surrender...I let myself embraced by the Void, by the Black Velvet of the Void.....where all things cease to exist....Stillness....
