Resting?

Hi Awesome Human

I hope you are good?

I’ve been wandering about planning and adventures. I love an adventure. Going somewhere I’ve not been, and exploring. Lucky me, Lisa also loves this. What I’ve noticed since lockdown I’ve been very reticent to get on a plane. Several friends were stranded when everything stopped. And others when it all stopped again. I wander if Ive picked up that reticence? Anyway, I love adventuring in the jeep. Packing up and going to find somewhere new. In case you are not used to it, in Europee jeeps are vastly in the minority. In the UK land rovers are everywhere. In Europe there are lots of Toyotas and some land rovers. One of my favourite games is jeep spotting when we are on mainland Europe. Whats great about having a big 4x4 is that I can take it anywhere. And, this is the most important bit. I fit in it. I used to have a VW Golf and I was too tall for it.

So off Lisa and I go to explore in our Jeep. France is easy to get to from where we live, just jump on the boat. And then arrive a few hours later. This puts us in Brittany. Brittany feels very much like Cornwall and Devon, and I’ve heard is said that Breton and Cornish are almost the same language. I don’t know for sure though. Brittany is full of ancient stones. The French call them Menhir or Dolmen. I’m not sure of the difference, but one google maps likes the other not so much.

Our adventures tend to last a few days, and one of the things I’m not very good at is stopping to smell the roses. I know you USAnians think nothing of a ten hour drive, if I did that I’d cross a sea, and potentially six countries. For me three or four hours is a long way, and it’s on the other side of the road in Europe for me. My car is Right hand drive. Finding time to rest and restore on our adventures is important to me. As my tendency is to push hard until I burn out. This does not make for a relaxing adventure.

To make this more relaxing I’m using some of the tools that I use in life. Radical Rest, Yoga Nidra, and Story. Back in 2017 I was running Yoga Nidra Classes with good success and results, and I’ve kind of let that slide. So what I’m going to do now is go back to this deeply restful and hypnotic practice. I love providing and doing Yoga Nidra, and I’ve got quite the back catalogue of Nidra on my website. As you are here, I’ll let you know how this manifests, and as this model starts to become formed then I’ll share with you as well. There will be videos and stuff of ancient things, story, myth and yoga nidra.

I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I am making it.

Sunday

Manni The Moon in Kenaz /Virgo

There is an energy of pre-full moon. This energy is bringing over concern shifting into a more relaxed vibe of relationships and give and take. There is an eclipse here too… so that’s going to be fun.

Manni The Moon and Urd / Uranus and Njord / Neptune are in cahoots together. There is a vibe of detail, and mystic, and direct energy. There is a notion, a feeling of moving from tension to relaxation. Or harmony.

Monday

Manni The Moon moves into Gebo/Libra, through an eclipse. This energy is going to be bringing energy into your vibe. Especially if you have lots of planets in your chart in libra and Gebo/ Wunjo. Look at what you can let go off to bring more harmony and control into your world. Manni The Moon is also supported by Myrmir / Pluto This is the first time anyone alive has seen this. So that’s a biggie. Look to how you can forge your destiny. Not choosing from the communal barrel, but more what you can create for yourself. There is a potential for a massive shift in your energies. This is focused and driven energies. Act on these opportunities and move forwards.

Tuesday

Manni The Moon in Gebo/Libra moving to Wunjo/Libra.

Manni The Moon opposite Odin / Mercury this energy is asking for conversation, communication or a tete a tete. If there is something you’ve not said, then now is the time tto say it. Remember what you say would benefit from meeting several tests. 1. Is it true, 2. Is it useful and 3. Is it kind? If your words meet these gates, then say them. If not. Don’t.

Wednesday

Manni The Moon moves to Hagalaz, Scorpio.

There is a square with Myrmir / Pluto and Tyr / Mars is throwing his ore in here, with a trine. This is a day for potential reassessment and reviewing of what needs to be done in your processes. Be kind to yourself today. Not a spa day, or all the baths. More delve deep into what you’ ve not done to find where you’ve left buried gold.

Thursday.

Manni The Moon in Nauthiz/ Scorpio.

Loki / Saturn is involved here today. Maybe with ‘Daddy’ energy involved. You may feel ingenious today, and you’ll need it. Something is causing you to bang you head against it. Adapt your way of working to make it work. Change how you are doing the job to make it work. Freya / Venus and Urd / Uranus are bffs. This vibe is bringing creativity. Thor / Jupiter is getting involved as well too. Getting in the way mainly. Freya / Venus and Urd / Uranus are asking you to look into how attractive energy works for you. Visually, orally, mentally. Look at where you can bring that passion. That creativity.

Friday

Manni The Moon in Nauthiz/ Scorpio.

Urd is opposite Manni The Moon here. Freya / Venus and Njord / Neptune are vibing here too. There is all the emos. There is an ideology that is maybe calling you up from the full moon is more set in place. Perhaps the feeling of an old coat fitting properly. Let it be. Urd / Uranus is asking you to dream into your world but get practical with it. Don’t just gaze out of the window. Maybe book the holiday?

Saturday

Manni The Moon in Jera.

Manni The Moon and Tyr / Mars and Loki / Saturn are forming a super group. It's going to be rubbish. So be ready for some walking through some mud today. Get up and do the thing.
