It’s reset time! So begins the process of fresh analysis of your life and your joy and your own personal rebirth, major or minor as it may be. We are in power window of a lovely time, one that when embraced fully is such a powerful opportunity. And, it’s annual! This new moon is the beginning of my new year celebrations, of which I enjoy 3. When I say I celebrate everything, it’s not fully accurate, but it’s darn close. I do work to ensure that my celebrations are meaningful because connection is my jam. I love for my lunar work to allow wiggle room for life realness, and this lengthy new year boosts a joyful and authentic slow roll into obstacle release and manifesting specifics that are most on target.
As the 1st new moon new year celebration, this one does some heavy lifting from a light place. It offers transformative life effect with gentle juicy goodness in the playfulness of the work itself as we suss out a lifestyle picture of resonant truth. Connect with truth of life goodness, the core of what makes us smile- both in things we already have and in things we see ourselves having soon.
Next month is Samhain, sometimes called “the witch’s new year” and that time offers a spiritual leveling up. The final new moon before this calendar’s new year is my final celebration and it is boosts a practical tactical plan of goals and timelines that are honest about my values and my joys, so when the goals are achieved and fulfilled they feel as good as possible.
This work means enjoying the fulfillment of goals – it also means enjoying the journey. So, enjoy this new moon work!
The ritual:
Start with the most obvious and simple. Be guided by feelings more than thoughts. Get a paper and pen or use colors and a giant poster paper – do not feel limited by your writing, feel free! Do you prefer a laptop to sit and flow? Want some colors to make it playful and appeal to your inner child? You got this, do it your way. Use the prompts below to free flow your answers and let your brain visualize juicy goodness til it lifts your spirit.
These prompts help release preconceived notions of your joy and get into truths of it in the most current version of you. Getting away from preconceived notions means not writing what you always write or have written in other years starting with your recent feelings from life events, connects you to the truth of the current version of you!
What makes you smile, daily or sporadically? What kinds of things fill your favorite days? What experience in your most recent past thrilled me? (example: I became a uniquely elated recently after a family activity during a getaway- it was a powerful feeling, more than I have felt in a while and it was, at its core triggered by some easy truths. I planned something adventurous for the family, we all embraced the newness and the adventure was fun and enriching and tiring, and then we landed for lunch in a perfect place and I was just beaming. So simple right? The information I’d extract from this memory and place on my lunar list: family connection, physical adventure with new activities, connection with nature, ease of travel and vacation, new venues to experience, freedom in schedule to enjoy more playful activity time, silliness, good food, lovely libations, laughter.)
As you think on recent events that brought you joy, think of your different kinds of joys by honoring your life categories: Home, Relationships, Prosperous Purpose, Body.
Imagine 100s of millions of dollars filled your account today- what would you do? Are there activities you are already doing you would still do? Are there new joys that rapidly jump in? Write those down! In our joyful life vision there are no limitations! This is a key to allowing the glory of the universe to find you and for you to be open to those miracles. It is easy for your habit of obstacle thinking to try and bring you down through this. May I kindly say?… FUCK THAT NOISE.
Life joy vision work is about freedom and truth- tell the inner critic voice to hush itself because you are a powerfully positive badass capable of living a magical life. Your very existence right now is proof of magic beyond rational explanation, believe in the magnificence. Thrive. All is better when good grows.
Blessed be. Happy (1st) new year!
