Frogs Return Moon, April 24

Frogs Return Moon – The frogs can live in all three worlds. As you hear them return, learn to align these three worlds within you to bring prosperity, healing, and abundance.

In many indigenous cultures, frogs hold magical qualities. They are capable of living at all three worlds: the lower world or in the mud and under the waters, the middle world or on the land, and in the upper world or the trees. In this way, they represent the desire to balance the earth and sky within ourselves.

Likewise to the Peruvian Q’ero of Peru, frogs represent abundance and the transformation that occurs when we balance our three main energy centers (tummy where action originates, heart where love and compassion originates, and forehead where wisdom and knowledge originates). When your action, love/compassion, and wisdom/knowledge are aligned, truly magical transformation can occur within and reflect in your environment as well.

As you hear the frogs return after their dormancy of the winter, learn to align these three worlds within you to bring prosperity, healing, and abundance. To align these three worlds or energy centers within you, cycle through the following series of hand positions:

• Hold one hand on your tummy and one hand on your heart. Concentrate on connecting and balancing the energies between your tummy and heart – between action and compassion.
• Hold one hand on your heart and one hand on your forehead. Concentrate on connecting and balancing the energies between your heart and head – between compassion and wisdom.
• Hold one hand on your forehead and one hand on your tummy. Concentrate on connecting and balancing the energies between your head and your tummy – between wisdom and action.

If you practice this balancing and energizing exercise every day or a couple times a week, your action, compassion, and wisdom will begin to work together in harmony.

Next Month: Corn Planting Moon – Don Manual Quispe (Peruvian Q’ero elder shaman and teacher of our teachers) said the role of the shaman was to “grow corn.” We’ve let our dreams bud; we’ve practiced aligning our energy centers; now how to do we grow corn?
