Moon Alchemy Pt.2

What is Moon Alchemy?
Tapping into the moon phases, energy and magic brings awareness for growth and expansion. Attuning to the moon is ritual, illumination, intention, action and restoration alchemy.
When we attune to the moon we play integrate trust, spirituality, gratitude, soft structure of flow, healing and transformation.
On top of all that-it’s fun, easy and free!
Moon alchemy and the moon phases.
The RESET phase of the lunar cycle.
We are coming upon the new moon and this time it is in the sign of Libra. I am a libran so I love this energy and am ready for it!
So what do we do at the new moon?
I and many others see it as a RESET.
A time to…
Pause
Ground
Call back our energy and call in curiosity and creativity
Connect with our source, our guides, grandmother moon, other energies, entities or beings from the love and light
Ask for guidance and support
Allow our heart truths to be brought forward.
Write them and voice them ( I like to do both) to oursleves and to others if we are feeling inclined.
Make a list- an EMPOWERED LIST
This is a part of reclamation. It allows us to bring in awareness ( step 1 to change and transformation) and set intention.
I always feel grateful that I have the opportunity and freedom to do this, so that is the energy I embody as I do this exercise.
Sometimes it’s helpful to answer questions (my favourite method) to allow words and ultimately the dreams, goals and desires to flow. We can bury them under the surface (and many layers) for various reasons- a topic for another day!
Question prompts available below👇
What if the “YAH BUT’s” and “I CAN’T’s” come in?
Of course, there may be other things that come up like… what we don’t want , and why we don’t think we can achieve the dreams, goals and desires that are coming forward. That’s ok!
That is FEAR and fear is part of living and plays an important role in our growth.
We don’t have to let it rule us though. The first way to start ”dealing with it” is recognizing it’s there…putting words to it and shining the light on it.
And then saying… “Ok yes I see you AND I am still allowing myself this time to get clear and dream BIG and put it ALL out there”.
RELEASING at the new moon?
If it feels helpful you can do a burn ceremony to release the fears, the blocks ( write it all and then let it go energetically) that come apparent and/or a visualization where you see those fears and you push them out of the driver seat into the passenger or back seat and you see yourself doing them anyways.
Trust that you are safe, protected and divinely guided.
OK back to the RESET
So when the empowered list (s) are made we have the beginnings of a map. The soul map that is authentic to us. It brings hope, healing, inspiration and guidance on the next steps.
Now pick one or two of the dreams or goals that came forward and starting writing some actionable steps you can take to start.
Now the RISE
After the reset, the new moon, we enter a phase I like to call the RISE phase where we take grounded and inspired steps towards the goals dreams and desires.
What do I mean by grounded and inspired?
These are steps that feel good in the body, allows your nervous system to stay regulated, they feel sustainable and manageable and even have you a little excited and feeling like yes- I can do this!
Sometimes it makes you feel a little nervcited and thats great too. It means you are a little out of your comfort zone and just enough to help with growth and accomplishment.
I have so many examples of grounded and inspired action steps and what they can look like…too many to share so lets use one example…
You want to go on a once in a lifetime dream trip…
Steps:
Write it down
Tell people…I would love to take this trip…wouldn’t it be cool to go…I can just see myself sitting on a bench in…
Journal about it…why, when, what could it look like, how would you feel by doing it, what would you wear/take with etc.
Start researching the area, sights, flights, and best time of year and how much it would cost'
Open up a travel account and start automatic deposits
You see what I mean? They don’t have to be big daunting steps like booking a plane ticket yet. They can be small, bite sized digestible steps that get you started.
SELF CARE in the RISE phase
Keep your nervous system in mind always. Meaning don’t try taking steps that shut you down and cause you to take months to recover. Slow and steady with patience and pace.
Be curious and be the oberserver. For example…hmmm as soon as I start taking action I distract myself or bring in all the reasons why I can’t or shouldn’t…wonder why that is? maybe I can journal about it or talk to a trusted someone about it
Have FUN with it!
Remember you don’t have to DO anything! You can BE in the energy of the dream. And you have ample opportunities to be in the RISE phase again. It happens month after month ;)
