EASTER (OSTARA)

I was speaking with my son Myles the other day as we were preparing for his 7th birthday party on Sunday and we happened to poponto the subject of death.

Now If I were speaking to my 12 year old daughter it would have been a very emotional and heavy conversation but Myles and his light hearted spirit just said "but mommy we don't die". I asked what do you mean. He said "we just go into another world, and another world and the worlds continue on forever"

"We go on through our heads" and continued on in his play.

I am not sure about you, but I would love to believe this pure hearted boy knows a thing or two about the spirit world.

Many mystical teachings focus on this Holy week of death and rebirth.

Easter comes from Ostara, otherwise known as Ēostre, and is the Germanic goddess of spring and dawn. Both Christianity and Judaism (Easter Celebration and Passover) are inherently linked. There are deeper, underlying commonalities that join the two holidays. The theology of each, in its own way, celebrates liberation. Both holidays are joined at their core in finding us rejoicing in the defeat of death and the gift of life restored.

The April full moon is also quite symbolic for this week. The Pink moon in Libra and like the last moon it is all about Balance and Love, Love for another and love for ourselves.

In order to achieve this, we first have to understand and realize our self-worth. You are worthy of being loved just as you are. You are worthy of respect. You are worthy of forgiveness. You are worthy to be heard and listened to. Your feelings matter. You are important. And you deserve all of the relationships in your life to be aligned with this truth.

The more you love yourself, the more you value yourself, the less likely you are to tolerate relationships that throw you off course and out of balance.

We must learn to love ourselves. We must learn to know our worth. And when we do, our relationships will have a way of automatically following. We are energetic beings that if conscious can use the energy of each moon phase, the planets, the earth and all else that has been gifted to us for our spiritual growth process. We can learn to tap into the ebb and flow and allow it to assist and support us.

Under the energy of this potent Libra Full Moon, ask yourself where you can love yourself more? Ask yourself what relationships are no longer bringing out the best in you?
