wise, with words of wisdom that just show up when it’s most needed. Your new friend might turn out to be an awesome listener, or the one person you’ve been looking for that can really appreciate your sense of humor! If you happen to be the shy and introverted type, maybe the other “you” can help you practice relating to new people. The conversation can proceed at a comfortable pace for both of you, and at least in the silence, you’ll both know that the awkwardness is not a personal jibe. And since your new “old” friend already knows so much about you, there’s no reason to be pretentious or put on airs. This is a “come as you are” party – no need for new attire, etc. Just show up and have a good time. And this is the perfect relationship to explore trust with. You’re more vulnerable here than in any other relationship you’ve experienced. Here you can be free from judgment. You can learn what it feels like to have complete confidence in yourself or an ideal. To know what and how your body responds when it’s “in the zone” and confidence. Don’t analyze too much. Just feel and accept the love. It’s nonjudgmental and without restrictions. Ask the questions and let the answers come. Spend the time getting to know So what can you gain from this relationship? Knowing yourself better allows you to be more confident and selfassured in all your decision making. When worry is no longer part of your situational equation, life gets easier, as the focus can be on effective problem solving instead of working harder to bury secrets deeper. As your confidence shifts, your vibration resets on a higher level. People become attracted to your energy because of your concentrated efforts on personal growth. When you are self-aware, it is no longer necessary to be needy. You don’t require someone else to “make” you whole. By accepting responsibility for your actions, identity does not rely on other people or external forces. Give yourself an “A” for effort. Make it a part of your life and plan to have a few “date” nights with yourself. I think you’ll be happy with the results. Moonrise February 2016 Page 31
