November New Moon – Awareness
The New Moon is on Friday 1st November and the moon has moved into the constellation of Scorpio (the Scorpion).
The energy of Scorpio is the one who dives deep into the mysteries that lie below the surface of life.
Scorpio is a water sign, and water symbolises our feelings and emotions.

What is Awareness?
It is described as consciousness or being in the present moment.
Eckhart Tolle
Eckhart Tolle wrote a book ‘The Power of Now’.
In it he writes that “an individual should be aware of their present moment instead of losing themselves in worry and anxiety about the past or future.”
- How often do we notice when transitioning from standing to sitting or vice versa?
- Do we think about all the muscles, tendons and ligaments that must move just to make this transition?
Notice
- How mindful are we about every breath we take?
- Do we even take a full breath, where our diaphragm goes down and the oxygen fills our lower belly, sides of the ribs, and chest?
Breathe
- How conscious are we when we eat?
- Do we really taste each mouthful?
- Do we savour the flavour, texture, colour, and smell?

“A person who practices mindfulness can see things in the tangerine that others are unable to see. An aware person can see the tangerine tree, the tangerine blossom in the spring, the sunlight and rain that nourished the tangerine.
Looking deeply, one can see ten thousand things that have made the tangerine possible. Looking at a tangerine, a person who practices awareness can see all the wonders of the universe and how all things interact with one another.” Thich Nat Hahn
A Course in Miracles is a beautiful, channelled work by Dr. Helen Schucman and assisted by William Thetford. They were both Professors of Medical Psychology at Columbia University’s College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City.
Dr Schucman stated that The Course in Miracles came through a process of inner dictation that she identified as coming from Jesus.
This self-study program is designed to show us how we are caught in the world of perception, as though we are in a dream.
This is the world of birth, death, belief in scarcity, loss, and separation
However, the truth can set us free but we need help to awaken from this dream.
True knowledge is eternal and true. It is mental clarity, emotional love, and spiritual unity again with God.
It is enlightenment and true freedom, and it is possible for us now.
Let’s open our hearts and minds to the truth, power, and love that is all around us, just waiting for us with open arms.
In fact, in the monthly message for November, we are encouraged to TAKE ACTION.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God. (ACIM, Preface.1:1-3)
