Welcome June!🌿🌸🍃

“June” by

Every so often I’m convinced I tell the world too much. Hold my heart on my sleeve, cough out my secrets, confess to my pain. I swear to myself I won’t do it again, I’ll be all lock key, a porch with screens, elusive and safe.
Then I talk with a friend who’s all heart, all summer and June - raw and flawed but so complete and I’m reminded of how flowers thrive when they’re open to it all. To the rain and sun, to footsteps and weeds, to the changing of seasons over again. And when someone’s looking for a sign of hope, there they are.
Blooming , despite it all.”🌺

“Today is Saga Dawa Duchen, one of the holiest days of the year, honoring the Buddha’s birth, enlightenment, and passing. Actions performed on this day are said to be multiplied by 100 million times.
The point of the teaching is not really mathematical. Rather, it encourages practitioners to pay special attention to their intentions and actions. On this day many Buddhists make an extra effort to:
~Practice generosity
~Refrain from harming living beings
~Meditate
~Recite prayers and mantras
~Make offerings.
~Cultivate kindness and compassion

As Ani Pema Chödrön often reminds us, what matters most is the quality of the heart. A small act of genuine kindness—listening to someone who is grieving, feeding an animal, offering help to a stranger, or dedicating merit to others—can be profound.
More importantly, it is a day to remember that every action, no matter how small, has consequences and can contribute to the well-being of the world.”☸️

“There is challenging energy tied to the May 16th Ta**us New Moon due to the presence of Algol, one of the most notorious but perhaps misunderstood stars in astrology.

Algol represents suffering but also the transformation that blossoms from it. Algol helps us to take our fears into something we can confront and stand up to. What is on the other side of your fears? Algol encourages this question.

While Algol does provide a slight heaviness, there are supportive beams flowing under this New Moon, making it a good time to focus on stability, security, finances, and longevity. What do you wish to nurture? It’s time to take action. Use this fresh start to trust the unknown, set clear goals, and turn your spiritual visions into real-world results.“
