Virgo is the sign of the goddess. Seemingly perfect unto herself, this archetype carries many gifts, but the most important one is the power to heal and forgive. Virgo teaches us that we are each here to give our talents in some way. In order to give these gifts, we must first recognize them. And in order to recognize them, we must first heal. WHAT TO RELEASE: When we try to control the outcome of every situation life presents, we undoubtedly fail at times. Life isn’t meant to be controlled. It’s meant to be lived. It’s not meant to be perfect or follow some schedule that adheres to our efforts. It’s messy, chaotic, and beautiful. It shows us our greatest strengths in our darkest times, and it gives us our greatest gifts in the most unexpected ways. When we expect ourselves to be perfect, we place pressure on ourselves to know everything at all times and not ask for help. We procrastinate, become indecisive, and hold ourselves back from fear of failure. We expect ourselves to be experts in everything and have control at all times. We forget about our brilliance and we insist on a perfection that can never be obtained. In this frequency, we suffer from anxiety over inconsequential mistakes. This month releasing the idea of perfectionism and accepting our imperfections, we allow ourselves to show up in the world and show up for others. Yes, we may make mistakes and wrong decisions, and we may fail many times before we succeed. Mistakes are part of the process, and the process is different for everyone. As you work on releasing perfectionism, you can stop vibrating in anger, resentment, and guilt. The full Moon in Virgo reminds us that when we live in a vibration of love and acceptance of self, we align with our truest gifts.

Forgiveness only requires the letting go of toxic thoughts, such as anger, bitterness, resentment or the desire for vengeance. Write a Letter Write a letter to this person. If this person is you write a letter to yourself. This symbolic exercise is a great way to let go of anger and resentment. (take 5 minutes to write your letter, let out anything you’d like to say to this person or to yourself. This letter will be seen by your eyes only so feel free to be vulgar, honest and let go of anything you’ve been holding back.) Sending light exercise Close your eyes and put yourself into a meditative state. Imagine you’re stood facing the person who hurt you and surrounded by an abundance of beautiful and glorious healing light. Touch this light and notice how it fills you with love, joy, energy and peace. Let it flow through you. Now, pass some of this light to them. Your higher self should have no resistance to this. Watch as it fills their body, notice the inner peace it brings to them, see how they react as their pain body dissolves and they connect with their higher self. Now, imagine them staring at you filled with joy and saying “I’m sorry”. Without their inner anguish, they had no reason to hurt you. Accept their apology. Make peace with them. Give them a hug and wish them a happy life. Now, it’s time to come back into your body. Realize how great this forgiveness fantasy made you feel. Bask in this joyous feeling.

I wrote this in march of 2020, after a meditation. I had a huge realization. Something inside of me came to the surface and then helped heal a great wound inside of my soul. I call it “HOME” 🏠
Home isn't 4 walls. It isn’t someplace at the end of a dead end block. It isn’t a person, place or thing. The definition of home reads “a place where one lives permanently”. But in an existence where nothing is permanent what does this mean? As humans we seek stability, we seek love outside of ourselves, we seek this idea of a house filled with lifeless objects. Painted walls of colors to match our mood. This isn’t home. This is the illusion. Home is within. Home has always been within. Home is burning fire, the warmth of a soul, the feeling of complete bliss as one softens into meditation. It’s that moment where everything feels perfect as the self is aligned with energy and the boundary between this realm and the next gets crossed. Where judgment doesn’t enter nor does it even exist. Where you sit with yourself and love every inch of your being and know that there is no better place than this. - CARLYN BURCZYK |
