 | Aquarius Lunation Disseminating Phase Pisces Sun Scorpio Moon |
A sharing in honor of the current positions of the Heavenly Lights, Sun in Pisces and Moon in Scorpio. Their symbolism illuminates the mystical aspects of life's journey that guide us through the darkness to an understanding of the truth of our oneness with the All That Is.
In keeping with the promotional qualities associated with the Disseminating phase, I have 2 book recommendations. Both are books of meditations meant to be read at random. The chapters in each are short - one or two pages- and the meditations are even shorter - a paragraph at most.
Both books feature the writings of mystics. One is based on a variety of Sufi masters, the other, on a 16th century Carmelite nun. Each expresses a different spiritual tradition, yet both emphasize the importance of going within to gain perspective on the daily challenges of life. The respective authors, one a man and the other a woman, have achieved their objective of elucidating and inspiring the practice of devotion.
I've been meditating with them at sunset each day for the past week. I pick up one of the books, read whatever chapter my hand opens to and meditate as advised. Immediately after that, I do the same with the other volume. Each day has produced a personal awareness made especially profound by the synchronicity of the chosen meditation's content.
