Full Moon Habit- Heart Opening

Well.

That last 'habit' didn't yield much, did it? I just couldn't come up with many recipes that you just had to have. I guess they'll get added as we need them, hmm?

However, onwards and upwards!

This afternoon is our next Full Moon, the Full Flower Moon. Jamie Ridler asks, "How do you want to bloom?" and that question inspired me.

I've been working on Love- self-love, and understanding-others-love, and patience-love. Also, one of my weekly meditations includes this phrase, which I use as a mantra often:

---

When your actions are motivated by love, your energy multiplies and accumulates.

Energy has been a problem for me, so I've been using this idea: I don't have to create or find or force my energy. Simply by loving [enter situation or concern here] I'll have the energy to get through it. And when I actively practice this, it works!

The shortfall of energy to get through my day that I have experienced over the last few years has left me very protective of what little I do have. Now that I'm stronger, with more endurance, I'm having a hard time actually using up the energy that I have!

It's time for me to open my heart, to let humanity back in, to stop walling myself away from any and all non-essential uses for my energy.

So for this Full Moon habit, I will be reporting on my efforts to expand the metaphorical heart and let the light both in and out. Won't you open your heart, too?
