Once in a Red Moon… Ask for what you really want

Last night at around 4am UK time the there was a lunar eclipse. The earth passed between the sun and the moon and because its light was filtered through the Earth’s atmosphere it had the effect of turning the moon red. According to some astrologers, this is a good time to get very clear about what exactly you want in your life and to ask for it very specifically.

There is a huge power in doing this at anytime. Many of us censor what we even wish for in order to shield ourselves from the ‘inevitable’ disappointment of not getting it. However, as I pointed out in a previous blog, we have a part of our brains dedicated to fulfilling our wishes. If we don’t even dare tell ourselves what we want, we are preventing this system from helping us make it happen! We also block any other sources of help. How many times have we mentioned something, apparently by chance, only to have someone say something like“Oh, I know him” or “I have one of those..” or “I don’t need any more”

Yesterday morning I went to a truly magical place, Derwent Water in the Lakes. The view receded into the mists and the soundtrack was birdsong and water tumbling over rocks. I was almost moved to tears by the place. There, I decided to give voice to all the good things I wanted in my life for me and all those close to me, As I did so, suddenly this still lake surface turned into lapping waves, apparently just bringing my dreams straight to me.

It is always a good idea to say what you need from life, today it maybe even more effective. Why not take the risk of letting someone know what you really want today… even if it is only you!

“I can teach anybody how to get what they want out of life. The problem is that I can’t find anybody who can tell me what they want.” Mark Twain

    Thanks for this Richard,

    My wish was born in a moment like the one you experienced at Derwent Water.

    My wish was born beneath the stars in the Sahara where the sounds of the desert winds and of distant camp fire conversations in the remote Dakhla refugee camp, reminded me of our collective potential as human beings. My wish comes to life in any moment of any day that I close my eyes and see within, for there peace and prosperity for everyone resides as an ever present image of what we are capable of.

    170,000 refugees being assisted by 170,000 children from USA and UK is but the cusp of the dream, for beyond this the 170,000 go on to teach the world’s remaining 24.4 million refugees that sustainable self sufficiency is their basic human right.

    Martin
