I woke up feeling hopeful. I don’t always, do you? Generally when we wake up the mind is already spinning a web of negativity, doubt and fear. The mind has a negativity bias. Our brain tend to favor and fixate on the bad versus the good. However, spirituality teaches us that there is no such thing as good or bad, there just is. But that feels a little advanced somedays. More on that another time.
So I woke up not dreading the day…in fact, I had a little bounce in my step. Last night I deep cleaned most of the house and was feeling ready to step into my morning routine. Which lately goes like this:
Oil Pulling with sesame oil
A cold shower
5 mins Breathwork
Meditation and Prayer
I then MOPPED THE FLOORS. What an insane thing to do on a Monday morning. But I was feeling fresh. Why?! Its the new moon. New moons are the start of a fresh lunar cycle. It is a reset button. It is time to set new intentions. It asks of us to clean up of internal and external lives. It is time to manifest. I have lived in accordance to the moon cycles for over a decade and this bod of mine woke up knowing, it is time to reset!
This new moon is in the sign of Cancer which is a water sign and is connected to the waters of our bodies AKA our emotions. Cancer is also represents the mother and/ or the nurturer. The way I interpret this is that our emotions can help us unlock our dreams. How we want to feel is the start of all manifestation. So it is time to work with our feelings to create our dreams! …while also taking special care to nourish ourselves.
How, you ask? Well I have you covered. I am leading a New Moon Ceremony tonight as a part of my Summer Series. If you haven’t registered yet, you still can!
