Waning Moon Rituals and Letting Go

The waning moon phase is coming to upon us on Monday, July2, 2018.  The Waning Moon is a time of letting go, slowing doen and taking a break.  During th Waning Moon Phase, it is most important in focusin on what we do not want to do, or parts of our life we no longer wish to nurture.  

When doing a Waning Moon ritual it is best done before the sun rises.  FOr the days leading up o this phase of the moon, reflect on any negative self-talk, emotions or feelings you have been holding on to.  Go deep and be honest with yourself, now is the time to clear away the negativity and allow it to fall off and shed old patterns and old habits that are not allowing you to live to u fullest potential.

This is a beautiful Moon phase to forgive, the power of forgiveness is freeing and allows you to shine your brightest luminous self.  

Self-care is also essential as you are clearing and releasing negativity remember to refill yourself with healthy and loving self-care rituals, like long baths soaking in essential oils, having a massage or pedicure, or going on a tea date with your soul sisters or lover.

This is the time t banish bad habits and beak up those unhealthy relationships and move on  without looking back

Thes crystals are good fo this moon phase:

• Bloodstone
• Citrine
• Clear Quartz

Trust in the divine and prepare for the phase coming up that will be all about going inward.

The New Moon In Cancer - January 2018 : THE WOLF MOON

The first Full Moon of the year falls on Jan 1 2018, is at 11 degrees Cancer.   AS it is in opposition to Venus, it may highlight and bring to much needed surface, the differences between love and affection fel;t between two people and if those two are partners romantically or otherwise.

This is a loving moon, a Motherly Moon, one that wants to Nurture. But a Mother will not Nurture under false pretense, nor will this Full Super Moon in January 2018.   Our Mother Earth, Our true essence, is asking us to define our TRUE desires and Our TRUE IDENTITY and to step forward into this role for this New Year.

The foundation has been set last year.  We have done the work, laying the stable core value and brick of ethics and code in 2017, to evolve and vibrate with the light we were born to shine.

Take from now until January 9th, during this transition period to establish with certainty the parts of family, love, joy, that were off balance or distraction in the previous year.  This year, instead use TRUE IDENTITY to ensure the harmony of all the limbs or wheels to be aligned to reach our full potential in Flow.

The Moon in Cancer calls us to use our intuition to guide us.  Our Intuition will not steer us wrong.  We may not like the paths we have to go or avoid to honor this intuition, but in the long run, you and your purpose will best be served by following her guidance.

This Month will have a second Full Moon with an Exclipse.  This as all Moon Cycles, is important energy to journal.  I strongly feel the next 2 2 1/2 years will be essential to jopurnal and document your insights, rememberences, your visions into the future.  The creations you are manifestion.  The seeds you are planting and the intentions you are setting.

This is the most powerful few moon energies I have experienced since I can remember the light workers are going to make a shift as prodicted and we will have world change.  So make sure to draw, make symbols, color meanings, even what now may not make sense will one day if not to you, to someone you sharee with.

As we move to the Age of Aquarian Teachings Everything is going to be seen with the pure love and innonce of a newborn and what a beautiful view of our new world we are creating together.

Planting Seeds of Intention for this New Moon Cycle

I hope everyone set some good intentions with this new moon in Capricorn. The Capricorn is associated with the Mountain Goat. They only focus on the top of the mountain and planning on getting there. So this is a great time to make plans for how you are going to reach your desired goals or "top of the mountain" in the upcoming New Year.

Incorporating rituals can be very powerful in manifesting. I perform a ritual and ceremony with every full and new moon. Often my children enjoy doing them with me. I have brought so many desired results in my life, it is my belief these rituals and intention based ceremony, have assisted me with creating positive change and purpose in my life.

The New Moon is a time to plant seeds. Not to be confused with the burning and releasing rituals of FULL moon Ceremony. This is a period to reflect and write down your intentions and growth in mind body and Spirit. I carry a journal with me the week leading up to and the day of the new moon and I write down everything I would like to see or feel or create for the good of myself and all those around me.

To keep record and have a vision journal, you can either take a photo of your list of seeds you are planting or you can write it twice one you will keep in the journal, the other you will plant in the earth like a seed. Your vision board/journal can be virtual or digital if you go with the photo. It is important to keep track of your desires so you can determine your progress and accomplishments.

My children and I are always pleased when the cycle comes to an end and we see how powerful the universe and ourselves were at creating our reality.

The evening of the full moon, myself or my children and I sit in the back yard, with bare feet we ground ourselves by connecting to nature and the vibrations of earth.

We light candles, clear the space to make it sacred and bring any crystals, acorns, rocks, wood, figurines, etc that have meaning to us. We have a natural water source a pond that we sit close to, so we do not bring water, if you do not have water available. Bring sme and a copper, glass or stainless steel bowl for the water element. We take a few moments to breathe, with focus of calming and centering our minds.

We then read our intentions out loud, only if we want to. If we want to keep ANY to ourselves, that is perfectly ok. I believe that speaking intentions and desires out loud gives them power and energy, so we read the ones we are comfortable with 1-3 times.

Then we go to the spot in our yard that we have assigned to "plant" our seeds. We dig small holes, with bare hands to connect with the earth and we separate the paper from our journal (making sure to have a copy). We roll each written intention, goal, or plan into a ball and plant it like a seed.

Any burning rituals should be done on the FULL moon as it is a time of releasing things to the universe, source, ancestors etc and trusting them to handle all your worries.

The dark side of the moon, much like the womb is the perfect environment for creation and miracles. This is why we plant seeds and nurture our intentions with the new moon energy. We finish with a prayer of gratitude and feel secure that Mother Earth will nurture our seeds.

My children were with family tonight at Disney so I did some seed planting for them too, I will show them their goals and wishes and my intention and hopes for them when they arrive back home.

Enjoy MY NEW MOON RITUAL PROCESS. I invite you to borrow mine or create your own. Please share your ceremony or intention for the next lunar cycle.

Moon Magic - sacred adornments, elixirs, remedies, and tonics.  Moon Rituals.  Self Care Rituals

With the self care rituals revival in full swing, take advantage of the FULL MOON and the sacred practice of MOON RITUALS.  Native American and other cultures have been practicing moon rituals since ancient times with the wisdom of the health benefit to self of letting go of the past, not dwelling on hardships and setting new intentions for the next phase and future.  

 I hope you are ready for a major energy shift because it is coming and it is big. Just be aware and prepare for it, and forgive your friends and family if they are not themselves.  It's just a Aquarius Full Moon thing! This full moon is also an eclipse, so the Sun, Moon, and Earth are all aligned.  The Moon will pass behind the Earth and into its shadow. Take advantage of the natural reflective occurrence as a signal to reflect on the past.

During this Full Moon Phase lay the groundwork for what is to come.  You must not only set intentions but see them through.  Think about things you have been putting off - projects- ideas-to do list.  put in the work now, face sticky situations and move on.  This is necessary to cleanse the soul and spirit for the new season.

The Eclipse will bring opportunity for greater spiritual connection, I recommend quite time alone to reflect.  You will find the answers in the silence or stillness.  So break free and let go of any thing that is weighing you down or you have been avoiding.  Take advantage of the symbolic power of the full moon and eclipse together to prepare you for the rest of year.  Face and communicate like a warrior with grace.

Ways this moon might affect you:

Edgier than the norm.  Quick to anger - 

Care more about yourself and less about what others think

Crave extra love, support, and attention  (mothers who usually give all the nurture need it now)

Put yourself and your families needs first

Beautiful Confidence -self awareness- elevated conscious

Shift into happier phase of life
