Sky blue magic to acquire love
It’s just again this time of year when here in Switzerland, the blue hour is most beautifully felt. It’s the time when the day is ending, but the night not yet started. It’s the time of the day when the hustle has ended and the promise of what the night brings is vivid and alive.
The in-between time, which holds the promise of “everything is possible” just as well as “listen within and you will get guidance.” Both promises, feeling like a sweet temptation. Giving us the time and the space to look behind the curtains. To celebrate this “in between time.”
It’s a magical time
I love this time of year, as the blue hour is so beautiful and magical. The snow still lays on the ground and this pure whiteness reflects the last light that shines on the sky, just after the sun goes down. The sky is light blue when it actually is dark already – something quite magical by itself. The stars are not yet out on this blue hour, but the promise of them seems to loom above and the moon can be seen already appearing on the sky.
The day is gone, we have done what we could, it’s almost like we are lost in the stage of hustle and bustle and know with the fading of the day, so is the fading of our will to create. The night might promise excitement, amusement or rest. But it is not quite here yet and this in-between hour is the right time to reflect, to listen to our own voice and to be inspired. As this is the time to plan the next step, dream about the adventures ahead and relax into the mood of the rising moon.
The rising of the moon, or rising of the feminine, is the hour to reflect, rejuvenate and rebirth new ideas. It’s the time to look within us and be still. Listen to what our soul is whispering to us and plan to bring the sweet whisper to life.
There’s an energy shift
The perfect time to sit still and watch as nature shifts from the busy energy of a full day into a calming presence of the night. It’s when foxes start to look for their dinner and cats wander off into the near dark. I can see this happening right now, while I write this for you. I saw the fox dribbling through the snow just outside our birch tree in the shadow of the branches, believing to be unseen and unheard. Yet dinner has to be served for Mr. Fox, but it seems at the look of his smirk, everything is possible.
And I ask myself, is this blue hour the one time in the day where we believe that we can just get away with something that we usually cannot? I somehow feel, while I watch today’s blue hour unfold, that it somehow has this promise of getting away with more than at any other time of the day.
I don’t know if you ever spent this hour sitting quietly and just watching what happens outside of your window. Here I have an amazing view of the Alps, covered with fresh snow from last night. That, of course, gives it an even purer and even more silent vibe. Don’t you love a snow-covered day where everything that might usually look right out ugly seems to turn into something magical when covered in fresh snow? So yes, looking outside and taking in this amazing blue sky and the moon rising above my old lime tree, it feels like everything is possible.
A moment of rest and reset
It’s this in-between hour that gives the opportunity to gaze behind the curtain of the consciousness and gives a hint of the world that expands much further and deeper into your soul. A moment of rest and reset, before the night arrives and after the day has ended. The possibility of a pause. Are you enchanted to take a glimpse into the unknown?
What would happen, if you were able to press the pause button today at the blue hour? And what would you like to find out? What would you like to know? Are there any burning questions or would you just rather enjoy the pause and the stillness?
Be aware of the blue hour
Aware that this hour exists, you might want to follow my lead and explore what lies behind the mist of the unknown. I have sat and watched the blue hour for 2 months now and the most magnificent revelations came of it. Sometimes I meditated, sometimes I just watched nature prepare itself for a long cold night in the Alps. Always I felt connected to my past and to my present as much as to the potential future ahead. My pulse would go slow, my breathing would deepen, even if I was not meditating. I felt more connected to nature and to the rhythm of it. The natural circle of day and night left room for this in-between hour, with the beautiful dark blue sky and deep stillness of the night that seemed just around the corner.
Seldom it is more peaceful and still and nurturing here in the Alps. Wholeheartedly I can only recommend you to make some time this week or maybe even today to embrace this blue hour, wherever you are!
Even if you feel that nothing has been revealed to you, the time spent still at this time of the day will shift and move you and your thoughts. Give it a try and let me know how this pause between day and night feels to you – I would love to hear your story!
Much love,
Carollyne
At the end of the day, tilt the candle over so small droplets of wax fall on your ex’s picture. Place your picture on theirs so that the wax seals them together. Put the pictures in an envelope and keep in a sacred place until they contact you.
