MW Rx. 47 - Look Him Straight In The Eye

Published: April 22, 2024, 9:55 a.m.

This week the truth is coming out, water is breaching the banks, and little kid puke is everywhere. How's your April going? (Hit reply and let us know.)\nRisa comes to this week reallll short on sleep after a week with a sick kid up nights. In a delirium, she shares this meditation from cognitive hypnotherapist Andrew Johnson to help drop down into a lunar place, a resourced place, a source place: Meet Your Guide. For best effects, follow with a shot of Willie Nelson and his son crooning to you gently: Just Breathe.\nStay with me,\nLet's just breathe.\nBecause it seems like everywhere we go this week we're thinking about how nightmares repeat, and how we intercede. Risa's self-recommended mourning music for the times when we just can't help but get dragged through the loop again is Julien Baker's Repeat:\nAll my greatest fears turn out to be\nThe gift of prophecy\nAll my nightmares coming true\nCome do my outline in the street\nWhile every night\nI re-enact the same recurring dream\nNow I'm stuck inside a vision that repeats\nRepeats, repeats, repeats, repeats, repeats\nAmy comes to this week buoyed by the big uplift that comes from taking off your mask, telling the truth to the gatekeeper, and getting help. She brings it back to the radical power of simple, grounded magic: tell the truth, just breathe, and look at the Moon. The song is Sugar, Man On The Moon:\nIt's the man on the moon\nSaying goodnight to you\nAnd oh, how it shines\nHe's a good friend of mine\nHe's a good friend of yours\nEven many miles away\nIn a night of despair\nOnly one light is there\nIt's the man on the moon\nSaying goodnight to you\nIf you look to the sky\nLook him straight in the eye\nAnd as strange as it seems\nIf you wish all your dreams\nWill come true after all\nLet's look them straight in the eye, say our wishes out loud, and hold onto our dreams.\n\nhttps://www.missingwitches.com/rx-look-him-straight-in-the-eye/
