Full Moon experiment!!

[Dancing Bear]

It was a full day yesterday for both myself and the hubby, so I waited till bedtime to do a quick meditation and asked my guides to help me and allow things to come to me in a dream that may benefit people here on the list. Before bedtime, I again read through the list of names that were going to participate here.

I tried to get a glimpse of the moon before going to bed, but it was drizzling ran all day and cloudy and so I couldn't see the moon at all. it was just dark out.

After my meditation prayers, and before I fell asleep, I again asked my guides and deceased relatives to come to me and aid me in this exercise. Immediately my deceased grand dog, Cash, came to me! i was not expecting him to come, but it was wonderful to see him. I told him hello and how much I love him and missed him. i also told him that i hope he had a happy life with all of us and is at peace now as well. Then, he left.

Aww, I saw my Bru dog too.. He got me all emotional he did!!

After this, i envisioned myself walking down a path with mountain views like those we saw when we did our Alaskan cruise. i chose this because the Alaskan cruise was so beautiful and calming, and thought it would be a good choice. i had my eyes closed and while visualizing these beautiful snowy and icy mountains, I heard a loud crash like glass breaking. i knew there was nothing glass breaking in my home, so i told myself I would remember this and add it here. i also could hear waterfalls - or at least water falling, though I didn't see any waterfalls. it was not a loud roar like you often hear w/water falls, so it could've even been like a faucet turned on and the water coming out at more then just a trickle. I also heard some crackling, like fall leaves being crumbled as you walk on them. And, a whistle, like the wind howling around me. I could also hear people talking, but not enough to understand what they were saying and it was various voices about. male and female voices.

Wow intersting to hear all of that..

Then, I guess I slipped into sleep as I recall seeing my guide, Joe come to me and I also saw my totem animal--the black panther. panther is sleek and graceful as he walks beside me. he rarely actually looks into my eyes, but instead concentrates on looking straight ahead as we proceed on. he does give me a sense of calming though when he is near, and i know joe is also close by.

All of a sudden, I could feel some wind and it seemed like it was blowing hard, but I didn't really feel it hitting myself, nor did it seem to hit panther or joe. odd it seems now, but in my dream, i didn't even think of it being an oddity and continued on. I kept hearing that we needed to pay attention to everything and all that is around us, though I am not sure who was telling me this. i heard this through out my experience. I also kept getting visions of the people in my life, family, friends and aquaintances and understood that these were the "all that is around us". Then I noticed some fall colored leaves falling from the sky and I also heard thunder and continued to hear the waterfall also. Finally, a vision and more of a thought then a vision of the mighty oak tree came to me. It dawned on me that all these things were related to fire, earth, water and air--the four elements and as i realized this, it made me think of tarot.

How interesting to get that..Doesnt resonate with me for anything ,But; It would have been amazing to experience though!

These visions and sounds continued on and all the while i could also 'smell' the air and it was cool and crisp about us. then, it seemed like everything faded around me and all was peaceful. i fell alseep deeply and slept till 4:30am when i woke up and came down for a glass of water. I couldn't help BUT to get on the computer and brought up google and behold! a picture of the mighty oak there with google. an oak tree with a yellow ribbon around it for Veterans Day. A day to remember and a nice night, meditation and dream to remember as well.

I must add this as it may or may not be of importance, but a queer thing has just occurred as i was reading through my post before actually posting it. now, this does sound queer, but actually it is not really a queer thing to happen to me, as i always have these odd happenings for myself on a fairly regular basis.

i had just finished pre-reading and was about to select to post it, when all of a sudden my computer left and went to another site--NOT chosen by me! totally other website. not AT at all! and a message popped up telling me that since i was inactive for 15 minutes, it was going to log me out.

OH NO!!! I thought immediately. I hope all is NOT lost that i just typed up! (hard to type as i am having problems w/my right arm - numbness). But i was able to retreive EVERYTHING easily, *whew* thank God! and now I will post it. this may or may not have anything to do with the full moon, the full moon meditation experiment or anything at all. queer things like this happen to me ALL the time and is rather the norm, I guess, but i do always pay attention to them when they do happen as i take it as a sign. perhaps I read too much into things like this, but i do feel like this may add to my experience of this full moon meditation.

I will also add that I feel it is important for us all to pay attention to the people in our lives, those we know and those we don't know as well as the elements and all that happens around us. i think this is what my dream meditation was telling me--to pay attention.

Yes I do think this for me too.. everyone experiences so far have led me to home and my family.. My son especially.. He is growing and sprouting wings..and i am learning to let go little by little..and paying All of them more attention.. as they are the most important people in the world to me.

Hello everyone!

Gosh... where to begin... the moon here in Texas last night was beautiful. The skies were clear and the air was that kind of crisp fall air that makes you want to sit out side and take deep, deep breaths. It was a gorgeous day, and gorgeous night.

I notice as I'm sitting to write now, I keep thinking, "gosh I hope I did this right..." or "what if this sounds ridiculous to them??" So I'm just going to type it all up the way it happened/felt. Deep breath... here goes...

Its the only way to do it CrystalBlue LOL!! Its how i do it anyway LOL!!

As I sat to meditate, I held a clear quartz in my left hand, and green aventurine in my right, palms up and open. No particular reason why those two stones other than I felt drawn to them. I sat quietly and followed my breathing, opened my chakras and then followed the white light connecting all of us that came through my crown chakra, down and then up and then out in all directions. I knew my guides were there and asked them to work with me, and then asked to work with all of yours as well. There was then this huge expanse of energy. It wasn't overwhelming - the only word I have is EXPANSIVE. I felt it energetically and also physically - it was almost as if I was expanding physically - like I was getting wider and rounder with the additional energy coming in.

I don't quite know how to put this into words - but it was very physical - and I didn't really expect that. And it wasn't as if I was located in my physical body - but I was very aware of the energy that was coming through as physically healing energy. I felt it very much in my neck, throat, my left arm, my back (kind of upper left side), the right side of my head, stomach, groin area (does someone have a urinary tract infection- it was something like that? sorry, not so pleasant there...) and in my feet (although that may have been grounding energy). There was a full sort of heaviness around my heart - like a deep sadness that wanted healing, or comfort. I brought light in there, and the message that was strong is almost like a hug of white light (odd as that may sound) - but it was very much a message of, "it's all going to be all right." I'm not sure exactly who that's for - but it seemed important to be said.

WOW!! How lovely! My Neck needs a lot of healing.. I am trying to build strength in it after a car crash left me injured in that area..It is continuously achey.. Yes i do believe everything will be alright too!!

It's hard to write this up as a linear (this then that then that) kind of phenomenon, because it really wasn't. It was all at once or sort of overlapping - energy going all over and through and around and out - and very much expanding, very healing. I honestly thought I was going to meditate and get images or some wisdom to bring back to you all, but there weren't words or images - it was really the rushing of energy very powerfully and very clearly for healing. I felt very connected to it and to all of you. It felt as if that energy was rushing through me, and back out to all of you where you needed it. I should say this isn't something I do regularly - healing for others - it's just what was there and it was very, very powerful.

Sounds like a wonderful exxperience , Energy work is amazing. For me its like a natural buzz.

When I finished, the quartz and the aventurine in my hands were very warm, and the center of each palm was very "tingly." This does happen for me a lot - it isn't from gripping the stones as mostly they are just resting there in my open palms. What was very new was the tingling in the bottoms of my feet. I'd never experienced that before, and frankly, it's still there - as if something opened that hadn't been opened before. While I was meditating, I was aware of it as grounding... but now it's the morning after and it's still there. It's a tad unnerving, but not unpleasant.

Ok. That's what showed up in Texas with this full moon meditation!! It was very, very powerful for me and it was a privilege to be doing it with all of you. I've got to get off into my workday for now... I'll be back later to read through everyone else's meditations to see what showed up for you all!!

Blessings,
CB

Sounds like Kundalini is or has opened up for you.. CB..

Thanks for sharing!! xxx I do a lot of energy work and this experience you had i can very much relate to!!

Well, I was going to meditate under the moonlight. It was a beautiful clear night and quite brisk … 41 degrees ... but I was bundled up and ready. I scared a poor sleeping deer as I went out the back door. He ran off almost kind of bleating, complaining about being disturbed. I didn’t know deer made that sound … lol. I did my Full Moon ritual … lit a candle, burned some sage, a little prayer and burned the paper on which I had written what I was letting go. I pulled a chair off the porch out into the yard just beyond the shade of the big oak (seems funny to talk of shade at night, but the moon was bright.) And I just couldn’t settle down. The cold wasn’t the problem though. It was the noisy highway just beyond my neighborhood. The semi trucks running up and down the road just wouldn’t fade. I still enjoyed my brief time outside, but back to my standby … the computer, headphones and a meditation cd.

Glad you mentioned what you did before your meditation.. Because you reminded me of something i havent done in a long time.. and that is burning the paper you have written stuff on you want to let go. My children and I havent done this in a long time..and it works so well.

****

I took a few moments to look over the names in our group and to call in Spirit.

Starting to meditate, I immediately see what looks like light shining in from under a door and I am in the dark. The door is just barely open, just a crack, you know how the light is just inches into the room underneath and a line of light up the vertical edge.

I see a sepia background and in the center a bright, turquoise colored stone. It’s the moonstone. (I know that is not the color of a true moonstone, but I play a hidden object game and this is the moonstone in that game … lol.) This is the second time recently that I’ve seen the moonstone.

Then I saw a woman … short, full bosomed, dark curly hair and dark skin. I think Native American, Navaho. She is irritated, shaking her head at a man that feels to be her son. He is in the kitchen and she just into the living room off the kitchen. It is a simple home, white walls, a console tv. It feels homey, comfortable, lived in.

As i mentioned earlier I am not Native American Indian.. But i have do have the same description. ( short, full bosomed, dark curly hair and dark skin.) and am continuously shaking my head at my Son LOL!!

I have to tell you that this is new for me. When I meditate, I typically see colors and some “snapshots”, usually objects.

Next was like one of those commercials moving from scene to scene, moving video rather than a slideshow. It felt European in setting.

A short, squat woman smiling … she had bad teeth, but the most infectious smile.

A man, small in stature with a full white shirt. You know, one of those shirts with full, draping sleeves and his pants tied at the waist. Maybe Greek.

Again, what I’m seeing is sepia, almost black and white. What is interesting is that it is peppered with color. I see two young girls skipping towards me. Maybe twins or siblings very close in age. They wear beautiful, ornate, matching outfits … perhaps costumes or just dresses for a special occasion. Everything is sepia except the bright, colorful appliqué on the girls dresses. As I said, they are skipping towards me, laughing and full of joy.

There were more people, but these are the ones that stood out for me. And I must say, this being a new experience for me, it was a bit difficult to slow it down and focus on the detail. I remember wondering what this meant and trying to figure out what was important.

What a great experience! Thank you, Dancing Bear. I don’t know if this will resonate and be helpful to any of you, but I learned a lot just going through the process.

I have some other projects to tend to at the moment and wanted to get this posted. I’ll be back later to read your experiences and provide feedback.

Sharon

It does sound like you had a wonderful experience..Sometimes it doesnt matter if it means anything to anyone..Just to experience it, is enough!
I am glad you enjoyed it!! I have too!!

 

[Dancing Bear]

I got home at 10.30 p.m. last night after a long work day followed by a lovely relaxing meal out with a friend.

I wrote down the names of everyone in the experiment on a piece of paper, and folded it into my pocket. Then I took my dog out for a divination walk!

Divination walk

The moon was so bright it almost hurt to look at it. Initially, though, it was partially blocked by a streetlight and scenery. I felt irritated about being blocked from seeing it when I wanted to, and had to keep moving to get a clear view.

Unusually for him, my dog was in a rush. We marched along briskly with his little white paws flashing purposefully backwards and forwards. I became aware of traffic noise, most unusual in my village at that time of night. As I kept walking, the noise got louder and louder. A bus went past, all activity and bright lights. I found (again, very unusual) that I desperately wanted to keep up with the bus. I wanted to go faster to keep level with the noise and the lights, and not be left behind in the quiet dark by myself.

The next thing I became aware of as we continued on our way was a burglar alarm. It was intensely backlit with a white glow, and two small blue lights underneath that flashed repetitively one to the other. The alarm had the word "defence" on it, and I felt very strongly that it was saying, "Look at me. I have defences. Don't bother attacking."

All this rushing and noise and things happeing is also what i felt when doing my meditation..I forced myself while i was still in my meditation , to slow down adn start all over again!! "Slowly" LOL!! Myabe i need to keep doing this to achieve that inner calm.. I am getting a relaly storng sense i should be doing this all the time with the Moon.. Both the Meditation and Moon have been popping up in my life over the past two months. Like in the forefront of my thoughts, symbols i see, things i listen to, even some moies i have watched , meditation and the Moon BOTH have really got my attention.

We kept going and as we walked down a quiet side street, I noticed two delicate flowers that were growing randomly by themselves at the edge of a grass verge. They seemed so fragile and pale in the moonlight. My dog tugged forward to sniff around them. I felt quite anxious because it immediately came to my mind how easily they could be trampled. I was very relieved when they didn't!

LOL!! I also get anxious when my dog or kids are near lovley things in bloom, Kids coz they like they pick them and dog has no appreciation and just walks on them LOL!! I am slowly getting through to the kids "Do NOT pick the flowers!! Thay last longer on the plant.. Dog is another matter LOL!

Suddenly, a security light on a house came on. The house was a *long* way from me and I was amazed it had picked me up. It was like a super-high-alert security light! Then I became aware of another security light nearby. This one was constantly on, with a softer light. Then *another* security light came on a minute later! I have never been so aware of security lights, despite walking this route many times.

WOW hiper alert.. Good stuff!!

On the way back up to our house, my dog was really hunting out smells, going right into the hedge up to his shoulders and leaning over walls. He was after hidden things and secrets!

My dog does this too and then gets so lost in her world, it sort of resonates with me a bit, Being in the moment.. Smelling the roses , so to speak!! Again!! Slow down!! I guess its easy for us all to get caught up in the stream of life runnning faster and faster..everything based around the clock..I have had a longing to get back to nature a bit more , even though where i live i am surrounded, Its still not to same as to go out in it and not see anyone for miles..or even a building for miles.. It is such a raw serene feel for me..On the Saturday for me, while most of you were doing this meditation.. I was in a seaside town that had been hit severly by cyclone Yasi that came through last Christmas..it is a very small town, Blink and you have driven through LOL! we go every year sometimes twice a year..for my husbands Sports club..This time we brang our New Dog. She is always rush rush rush!! Still pup!! Well i went for a long stroll with her.. slowly walked, absorbing nature, seeing how it grew after being so damaged a year before..so much time it takes to heal. But it was getting there.. slowly but surely.., It was so nice, the dog seemed to naturally slow down after her initial tugging..we enjoyed our walk too!!

Thanks for sharing Est!!

 

[DownUnderNZer]

Me too...back to sitting on the beach...water is calming for me. And still a part of nature...

If I hug a tree here a good chance I will be breaking out in a rash or harrassed by a huge gigantic huntsman spider.... or irritating ants.

 

[celticnoodle]

After MsSharonBees thoughts on my swirling wind, it got me thinking about the rest of the things I heard too--the breaking glass, etc. I can see it representing things in my own life, and things I had to leave behind so I could continue on my chosen path. Interesting I didn't think of it that way while having this dream meditation. But, after her post on her thoughts of it, it made me re-read my meditation with a whole new outlook on it for myself.

 

[Crystal Blue]

Hi guys!

It was a much more hectic weekend than I expected (worked all weekend - blech!). I haven't gotten to post feedback on everyone's meditations and just wanted you all to know I haven't forgotten!! This was such an amazing exercise!!

Back to work today, but off tomorrow - so feedback from me in the next day or so!!


CB

 

[Crystal Blue]

Okay.... it's going to be the new moon now by the time I get all my feedback posted!! Sorry for the delay!! I'm just going to do each at a time, I think, until I've gotten through everyone!

K i meditated, and decided to add my dream too.
I went outside and took pictures of the full moon, and sat in it for half an hour. just gazing and absorbing.
Then i came inside and started to meditate.
First of all i entered my private white room. feeling i needed all the assistance I could get.
Opening my third eye.. switching everything to full steam ahead..But the funny thing is, i couldnt get the feeling of rushing out of my system.. so i lay on the sofa i have in my room and lay there, calmed down concentrated more on breathing, making sure all of my body was calm, no knots, mind was still. then i entered the hallway i walk down to go see my power animal and guides.
I walked down the rainbow coloured hallway.. at the end is a beautiful lush green garden.. full of trees, birds and my power animal the bear. He as usual was there to greet me, I feel safe with him. He showed me the way to my Guides House.. its more of a hut really.. Lovely verandah all the way out the front, ( I wish i had one of them )
My guide is an oriental man , his name is hard to say.. it means 4 winds. He asks me to call him Bob. its easy. He is such a sweet man, Bob told me i was doing well with my path.. he gave me a few hints for the dream divination thread. And for this one if i choose to go again. He says the more people we can get involverd the better.. It is good for everyone to meditate and take notice of their dreams..so he is happy i have been listening to him.
I asked is there any message i need to pass on to the other in the group , and myself..
His answer was to slow down.. funny that i felt a sense of rushing earlier, and was forced to sit still for a moment and find the calm. Through meditation we can slow down. it can help us, not only in the physical world , but within find a sense of peace. Smile more..
I was so grateful for all of his help, I was overwhelmed by the need to thank him for everything he has done in my life thus far and for all of our future together. I gave hime the hugest hug, and recieved it back.. It was such a nice feeling to give and get a genuine hug, exchanging so much warm energy.

DB, the message from Bob (and I LOVE that he has you call him Bob) to slow down really, really resonated with me. My life is crazy busy lately, and I so often bring that "move, move, move" kind of mindset into my meditation too. Like more should be happening faster, sooner, or whatever. I love slow down... it's such good advice for me.

I then went on the thank Bill My great grandfather who also has been tehre for me along the way..My grandmother who recently passed , i know she is with me often.. and i wanted to connect to my deceased dog Bruin. I miss him so so much.. I was starting to let the grief out, it hurt.. the amount of love I have for them and the amount i miss them was overwhelming.. But i went with it and hugged them anyway. I stood back looking at my guides and felt such honour, gratefulness and love for them all..
I asked if i am honouring them all well.. Immediatly i got the the sense i should be asking am I honouring self and serving self well?

You made me smile and think of my kitty, Elvis. He passed earlier this year and I miss him a lot. I've never seen him in meditation, but it would be so wonderful to love on him again.

I know so many have said it, but I also love the question, "am I honouring self and serving self well?" So very simple and yet full. Everything is there in the answer to that question.

I went back through my meditation, giving my power animal a hug, closing down everything but my third eye.. I thought i would keep that open for dreaming.

I finally opened my eyes.. to find my face all wet with tears..with more coming.

Oddly, this really struck me... that you were crying. Not that it's bad that you were!! But that it's been so very long since I have. I immediately was struck by wondering what I've blocked myself from releasing. What am I holding on to as if that would keep something alive that is already gone and actually needs to be released. It just really stood out for me as something to pay attention to.

The dream i had was no such a nice experience.. we all were in a school, along with our families. I was talking to a lovely lady, I dont know who she was.. Blondy hair, taller than me I am only 5ft 2 so this lady was taller..( dont know if it was anyone of you?), dressed as if she was in cold climate..brown cardigan. softly spoken, Blue eyes.
we were discussing our spiritual path, and how wonderful we felt about it and the signs that were given to us and felt extremely honoured to be who we were.. ( we must have done something right along our journeys) we decided to join the others, our families.. we were told we were all quarentined.. an outbreak was happening and we had to stick with who we were with.. I wasnt overly happy and felt anxious that my children were nto with me.. I knew my Husband was with my son.. But my daughters were not, and they were not with me going in the opposite direction, being led by strangers..I was horrified actually.. this lovely lady i was with didnt seem to worry too much about her family as they were all together, she was the only one not with them and she was confident they were safe..I was going against what the authorities said and started to look for my daughters.. I finally found them and kept them close.. the cure for the outbreak was a lot like Aloe Vera..It was definately made from nature.. No chemicals, Just all natural ingredients..The Out break was contained eventually...the whole time we were waiting to come out of quarentine , i was struggling to keep my eldest daughter from falling asleep .

I am blonde, 5'7, hazel eyes that are blue and gold and brown - and my background is that I'm a teacher (though not what I'm doing now - I taught English Lit for several years.) I also don't have children, and am the only one who doesn't live where all the rest of my family does - I am in Texas - my 5 siblings, their 12 kids, my dad, mom, step mom and all of their spouses ALL live in Georgia. They're all together - it's just me out here.

I've also been dealing a LOT with particular allergies - wheat, dairy and corn - and the impact they've had on my body. I'm gluten and dairy free already - corn is really hard though - and what's funny is that it does feel like some kind of epidemic - corn is in EVERYTHING. Even a lot of medicines that I could or might even be told to take to deal with the symptoms of the darn allergy - have corn in them! It's used so often in processing, and is actually used in ways that it's not required to be included in the labelling... so I'm dealing with that I don't even know what does and doesn't include corn a lot of the time. So I've really been struggling to find what helps and also alleviates symptoms without adding to the problem. (I am just getting over a terrible cold - I took nyquil for 3 days - even though it is chock full of corn syrup - and then had to deal with getting sick from the corn on top of still having a cold. It's kind of been like that.)
So I think at least in part that this was very much meant for me - and let me tell you - I am going to try Aloe Vera!!

I guess this dream has a deeper meaning for me, i have not explored just yet. But what does stick out for me at this moment is, that the cure was all natural plant based.. and i got a sense the outbreak of whatever it was , was a nasty thing.. So nature is strong even though sometimes i tend to think natural chemical free cures are not as strong as the synthetic ones.. Like some antibiotics, pain killers etc...
maybe i am being led towards alternative medicines more? I was only thinking the other day it would be nice to learn more about herbal medicines.

I think this is a big deal for me - that it came up like this in your mediation, and that mine was so much (and very unexpectedly) all about healing energy. I keep trying to treat my allergies with what's been most familiar - and that's Western Medicine (my dad is a doc, so that just adds to the whole bent) - but it isn't working. I keep being pulled to something natural and holistic - and this really reinforces that for me. Thank you for this.

Hope my experience with the Full Moon Has helped someone in our group.. or even someone just following the thread.. I know it has opened my eyes a little more..
I really enjoyed it!! Cant wait for the next one!

Oh and its the 11th of the 11th 2011 today, it is my birth number.. so I am off to enjoy all the energy from the moon i soaked up last night and the significance of the day..

Happy meditating for those who havent done it yet!

Thank you again, DB! Your meditation and dreaming and their messages have made a LOT of difference for me!

Est - Feedback

Picking up where I left off … sorry it’s been a few days … my family is passing around a cold so that has slowed me down and … well, life is getting in the way of the things I would rather do… lol.

Est, you went all out.

With the Divination Walk, I feel your sense of purpose when you describe being irritated that the moon was blocked from your view and your determination as you moved to see it. And then your dog echoes that.

All the noise and activity and bright lights, and your feeling the need to keep pace, makes me think of times when I’ve had a lot going on in my life and was struggling to keep up (like back in school.) I have a bit of that now, but in a different way.

And I found it interesting that your two delicate flowers were surrounded by two different and strong images representing safety (the alarm and the security lights.) Makes me think of the Eight of Swords … she thinks she’s trapped, but it is truly an illusion. In the same way, your flowers may look vulnerable and exposed, but they are safe.

I had to laugh at the dog into the hedge up to his shoulders. I am definitely searching after hidden things and secrets … but not in my day to day goings on. Well, actually, I’ll take that back. What I mean is that I don’t think there is anything hidden or secret going on with the folks in my life, but I am looking for Spirit, God, Guides, Angels specifically in my daily life … trying to open up so that I can see clearly and understand what I am shown … lifting the veil so to speak (or looking under the hedge … lol.)

The automatic writing and drawing sounds like it would be kind of free form and fun. Both of your descriptions again made me think of the Eight of Swords.

Wow … body parts as a distraction. We need someone to tell us what that symbolizes. (I’m glad you shared … I sometimes have pretty wild dreams myself.) And why would the people, sensing danger and feeling panic, leave “quite slowly”? Curious. Well, I’ve got my false gods under wraps, so I’d appreciate it if you didn’t accidentally let them out … lol.

Thank you for sharing, I am so enjoying reading everyone’s experiences.

 

[MsSharonBee]

MsSharonBee I am not native american.. But fit the discription LOL!! and i was shaking my head at my son last night.. he was playing up.. he is at the stage of not being a little kid and not quite a teenager either..so we are having a few clashes LOL!! I just shake my head at him..not much more i can say, he will only argue..only difference is my heart is open to him and i wish i wasnt so soft on him.
Think we need to have a grown up talk LOL!!

My youngest, of 3 boys, is going through those teen years ... just starting to ease up ... so I can relate. I remember each of them around 11 or 12 getting quite mouthy. I promise it does get better.
