I take a hot tub every morning and do my yoga stretched and meditate. I get up before dawn so the morning stars keep me company. This morning I noticed the pool of water was sparkling and then I saw the beautiful crescent moon. The light was so soothing and magical to me .

So what does the moon have to do with your life and your spirit?

On a full moon night here in Hawaii it is so bright I can work outside without any additional light. I’ve walked across lava fields, taken my dogs for long walks and sat on my lanai (a porch in most places) just enjoying the landscape. At times it wakes me up it is so bright.

The moon gives off a beautiful light yet by itself it is totally dark, it only reflects the light of the sun. The goddess is often associated with the moon. By itself, without the sun it is almost invisible.

Your body is just a lump of flesh. Without your spirit your body would soon return to the earth – a nice way of saying it would rot. Ten to fifteen times a minute your spirit gives you the gift of life by breathing your body.

I often talk about shifting your point of creation from your mind to your spirit. What if you let your spirit be the guiding force in your life?

What if you let your mind do the job it was always meant to do – simply be a tool guided by your spirit? Your mind is an awesome bio-computer that was never meant to be in charge. But since the voice of wisdom, the voice of your spirit was quieted and ignored your mind had no choice but to take over.

So as I basked in the gentle light of the moon I once again surrendered to my spirit. The little I – my mind – let go and surrendered to the guidance of my spirit, the real me. On any given day the more thoroughly I do that the more magical my day becomes.

As I enjoyed the warm water gently releasing the kinks in my body I thought back to the beginning of this journey. When I finally started surrendering, shifting my point of creation I was going through bankruptcy, I was confused, suicidal, lonely and unable to feel loved.

Now, I know I swim in a sea of love, have an incredible home in Hawaii and love what I do. I have people all over the world that love me, I write books and blogs and make videos. I share the wonder and magic of a life well lived.

Perhaps start your day by surrendering to your spirit. When you find yourself upset surrender again. There are a number of prayers I love but a phrase that always helps me is, “Relieve me of the bondage of self that I may better be guided by my spirit.”

Thanks for allowing me to be part of your journey and thanks to the moon for sharing the light of love this morning. What a wonderful way to start the day.

With a big smile,
Susan

Friday my latest book Spiritual Healing will be released. It was one of the first Complete Idiot’s Guides that I wrote. It is filled with lots of quotes, suggestion, insights and just plan old great stuff. So many people missed out because of the Idiot in the title.
