New Moon Message for June 28

“Rest and renewal are needed now. We understand that this is a difficult time for you. It is hard to stay present when you are constantly bombarded, when your nerves are frayed, when you feel shaken to your bones, when it feels like your entire body is crying out, when it feels like your mind is so exhausted by the stress, the sadness, the frustration. It is okay to feel these things. This is also why rest is so important. You must rest. Therein you will find renewal.

You can’t change much of anything when you are not rested –– not a small habit in your day to day life, or the circumstances of your day to day life, nor massive, collective concerns. You actually need more rest than you realize. It’s not even about finding balance. We know that phrase keeps coming into your mind, and sometimes this is what we recommend, to find a balance. But in this case, you need so much more rest.

You need so much rest because processing takes energy, planning takes energy, acting takes energy. Think of this as an almost alchemical process, where rest is transmuted into the action of your life. These two things do not balance each other equally. More rest is needed.

Renewal is where you will find hope. like the summer rains that are now bringing the desert to life. You’ve seen it: the explosion of color that a few drops of life-giving water can bring. The rain tempers the dust for a few days. It is cleansing. 

Renewal requires rest: a time of going within, of regenerating, of caring for yourself. It’s okay to go dormant before bursting forth. In fact, it is necessary.”
