Get Your Dream Life

Last night, New Year’s Eve, 31^st December was quite a rarity! Not only was it the 13^th Full Moon of the Year (which apparently only happens every 2.7 years) and it was the second Full Moon in December 2009, it was also a Full Moon on New Year’s Eve, which according to the Space Watch Website, only happens once every 25 years, it was also a Lunar Eclipse.

The triple combination apparently only happens once in every 100 years!

This was a fitting end to 2009 and to the decade that has been termed the “Noughties.”

We watched the eclipse through Greg’s new telescope and he took some terrific pictures.

Full Blue Moon Lunar Eclipse by Greg Goldston

The Full Moon is traditionally about endings. It is a time to let go of what has happened and to look forward to new and wonderful things.

I received a very timely email from my friend Elly Yule of  http://EssencetialLife.blogspot.com about the New Moon and I would like to quote some of what she said.

“This is the night to write down your Gratitude List for the past decade, including the not so good stuff which helped us to grow and learn so much.  Then write down your wishes and intentions for the year ahead and the next decade.  Think and write carefully, as this triple auspicious Moon is very powerful.”

Greg and I decided we would do exactly that. We sat down with a large mug of Tea each and a box of chocolates and began to review the last decade.

The more we talked about it, the more we realised that we have done a huge amount of different things and the wonderful things far outweighed the negative.

When we looked at the span of a decade, the challenges of the last 12 months sort of paled into insignificance.

When we brought the children into this process, it was interesting to note that the things they remembered were ALL good times. They were about holidays, birthday parties, time with family and friends, laughter and fun.

So, if children can so easily remember all the GOOD times, why on earth do we, as adults, focus on all the BAD stuff and things that went wrong and things we felt that couldn’t do or we missed out on?

Maybe that is “grown-up, adult logic” that is based in “reality” and has stopped believing in magic and miracles!

YES TO:

Having completed part ONE, we started to look at part TWO – the things we would like to experience in our lives.

The idea of  saying YES TO things seems to have worked very well for us recently, so we thought we would continue in that same vein.

On my bookshelf, I found a beautiful note-book with fairies all over the front of it, which I think had been discarded by a child at some point. Very fitting!

We started our YES TO list with simple things, like

• All bills being easily paid
• Ongoing sales and income coming in
• New clock mechanism for Jacqueline’s pottery clock she made
• Paying for next exams
• Half season football ticket for Greg

And this quickly built up to :

• Trips to London to see several musicals (Stephanie and Jacquline)
• Hot air balloon trip ( I have wanted to do that for so long)
• New HD TV (Greg)
• Photographic trips (for Greg and Jacqueline)

And right up to:

• Trip on the Hogwarts Express in Scotland (Yes, it really exists)
• 3 weeks in Florida, including a 7 day Caribbean Cruise on Disney’s latest Cruise ship, staying in the top of the range Walt Disney Suite

It was a thoroughly wonderful experience and it allowed us to start dreaming again and to start allowing wonderful experiences to come into our lives.

That is one thing, I have to say, has been rather sadly lacking in 2009. We had stopped asking and stopped expecting good things to come to us. Not surprisingly, we had got exactly what we had expected!

The YES TO book, is now sitting on my desk, with 4 Tiger’s Eye crystals on the top of it, which are also supposed to be good for bringing prosperity.

I have started to see some quite amazing (and totally unexpected) results from all my emotional clearing efforts, which I will tell you about another day.

Suffice to say, 31^st December 2009 has marked the end of some huge, long-standing negative stuff and the start of bridges being built to a much better situation.

I would highly recommend the exercises we have done. The energy of the Full Moon is around for a couple of days yet, so there is still time to do them!

Happy New Year everyone!

With abundant blessings.
