Working with the rhythmic times of nature is like listening to music when you dance. There is a certain musical point at which it is most effective to start the movement or step onto the dance floor: one’s count. The same is true for the creational dance of your life. Certain points make it the best time to take powerful and intentional steps in the flow of creation.

Both the sun and the moon have great points to intervene. The sun marks points in an annual solar cycle, while the lunar cycle creates a conscious entry point each month on the new moon. The problem is that most of us have forgotten to listen to the heavenly music that Mother Nature plays, so that we can dance in harmony with her rhythms.

If you forgot to listen to the music during a waltz, it would never be effective or feel filled with the feeling of grace. There is something magical that happens when you step to the beat of the music and coordinate your steps with grace and harmony. When you’re in rhythm, an amazing feeling begins to flow within you that uplifts, centers, balances and energizes you.

The same thing happens when you dance with the sun, the moon and the stars when aligning with the celestial music in the dance of your life: more grace enters. You become better able to handle the times when the emotional waters of life can be difficult, because you learn to realign and re-sync with the flow.

In any type of dance, you learn to do this because you practice. No matter what the previous “phrase or cycle” went like, start over. You evaluate how well you did, evaluate what you can adjust next time, then re-center, realign, and start counting one again; practicing over and over until the flow is smooth and graceful.

When you discover how to perform the dance of creation in your life in the same way, you feel less frustrated with the outcome of any particular situation. You just know that you need to evaluate your movements and energy and realign yourself to the music and start over.

If a dancer abandons his practice out of frustration and never returns to it, the magical sense of grace that comes in when the bumpy places finally softens is lost. They will end up repeating the same internal blockage throughout life until they learn to move through that energy.

So if you’ve been trying to set intentions and focus on creating, but feel like you haven’t reached your goals or dreams yet, it’s time to realign yourself and get back on track. Grace comes from immersing yourself in the magical flow of music and dance, not sitting on the sidelines waiting. In fact, you have to practice the movements to find the flow.

Going out to the rhythm of the celestial music of the moon on any new moon is a wonderful and powerful entry point to energize your creations. If you’re ready to practice, or it’s the first time you’ve consciously moved onto the creative dance floor of your life, you’ll want to start your preparations now for the upcoming new moon.
