It has been awhile, my friend. Tomorrow is new moon and we have entered a wonderful season. New year, Samhain, awaits us. All souls day is near. All the vibes of ancestral help are close for you to feel, may they empower the connection to your intuition, dreamer vision, and active instincts.
If you seek some connection to the manifesting moon of this powerful season I hope you will find time connect: call out in discussion with earth/moon/ancestors/guides, sit in thought, free write, draw, allow your future vision of joys and life happiness to fill you. I highly recommend joy jumping practice today, tomorrow, the next day… If you can manage to do it from this new moon to next, it is truly transformational and takes but a few minutes.
Quick joy jumping explanation: think of experiences that make you smile, go from one thought to the next quickly so your mind doesn’t have time to critique what you’ve selected. I love to do this before bed and find it productive and quality anxiety relief. When this practice becomes regular you can pull the joyful experiences up more quickly and then have a great tool for redirecting your thoughts when you are experiencing less productive mental space.
Our thoughts can be like wheelbarrow ruts, if you have previously projected your dreams and visions, via joy jumping practice or any other method, even those can be like a rut. You must do the work to free them. If you notice a thought returning but it no longer feels exciting, or provides any of the usual signals in your bodies joy vibration, you may be doing a disservice to future vision by locking yourself into past joy. Notice those feelings. Shake it up. Dream anew. Life is change. Transformation is now. Grow and move with all the rest and you will find yourself living and creating a life that feels more fulfilling as it unfolds, every step of the way. PLUS, it’s darn fun to joy jump, particularly when you let your soul fire dance.
You must give yourself time and opportunity for the practice in order to make this happen. I’m not talking about a lot of time. Some time. Some concentrated time. Set an alarm. Tell whomever you live with the space you need.
Separately, this moon, do the work of taking action on the intuitional nudges. Truly one of the best ways to transform life and make your intuitive voice louder is to take action on those nudges. All of this can look like different for different people, obviously, but I do recommend that if you’re hearing nudges, tasks that are poking you to get done… take the first step and then the next… get it done. I believe in you.
And, as a new moon is manifesting moon, I like to remember that appreciation for what I have that is good already is vital. Sometimes you think you need to go shopping, but you clean your closet and suddenly you need not shop because the clothes you want/need are all there already. I’ll do a three day new moon vessel cleanse because my body is calling out for it. For me that will mean liquids only, except for dinner meals. There’s a nudge for rededication to vitality in my vessel, and this is one way I can show appreciation for this body. Find your way.
Cultivate balance by checking your appreciation in other categories. Showing appreciation for my home right now looks like item clear out and room cleaning, I’m consistently working to make that happen. Relationship appreciation looks like focused time in care of my closest individuals, tending the different ways we connect. Career or purpose appreciation is tied to this blog right here, the more consistent efforts of writing time I’m making, and more…
Are you listening to the nudges? No need to be overwhelmed (I get it tho), slow yourself down and breathe, and take what little step you can when you can. Don’t knock on closed doors when you can walk through open ones. If certain items are daunting ask yourself what feels easier, and do that. Progress is progress, and accessibility is everything.
Never forget that part of connection is calling for help. You aren’t alone. Energy of earth core and Divine love are ever present, and so ever able to supplement you. Meditate to pull the energy in. Tap into that resource and let it live in you.
If you know where you are headed or if you feel low or lost, ancestor and guide relationships are with you. Talk to them. Talk to the moon and the earth and recognize that you are here, taking space, being held, and that forces are in cooperation with you.
Blessed new moon, friends.
