ACTION

...with the Olympics in full swing, it feels as though the entire world has a clear focus on MOVEMENT.


...my question....does movement always equal action?


Shifting to a yogic gear, the first of two Full Moon's in August started yesterday.  The first paving way for the ever so rare Blue Moon.    Then there's the fact that Mercury is still in Retrograde....so alignment wise,  the hits just keep on coming!


It started me thinking...Mercury in Retrograde is quite a force.  Retrogravy, as I like to call it, is a time of reflection.  It's said if you're sensitive to it's affects you should really back off embarking on new endeavors.  It's also said to stay away from technology.  Then this full moon strolls on in and boasts of expansion, freedom, growth, surrender, peace, fulfillment, connection, and a network of loved one's who support our every move.


So...what gives?
...and then it pretty much dawned on me that action doesn't have to be movement.


Most of us are moving forward nearly every minute of every day..where is it getting us?  The way these fancy moons differ from us is their movement promises EVOLUTION just by nature.  Not so much with us human's.  We're responsible for our own evolution!  And sometimes that means....action in another way.  Action in words, a thought, developing a plan, re-aligning a plan, or sometimes....staying still for a moment.  All of the traits this moon holds, doesn't require any one person to take even the tiniest step physically forward.  It's action from the heart.  Action from the mind.


Since I'm from New York...I look up from writing this and take a look around.  Movement everywhere...the angry NYC horns honking, commuters rushing, trains moving on at full speed....but where's the evolution in it all?


I believe it to be called "moving with purpose", my dear friends.  Make your thoughts, intentions, and actions count in a way that will allow your own personal expansion.  If you're not growing, don't do it!


 As each and every one of us expands into this universe...we'll experience the evolution.
