Hello Friends,
Consistent morning meditations and night time gratitude journals just haven’t worked for me. Consistency isn’t a frequent visitor here in Neurodivergentville. But Full Moon and New Moon rituals I’ve managed to maintain for a few years and it has really positively impacted my life.
There’s a million ways to do this…but this is where I come from. The New Moon has unique energy for Self-Care and Healing. I really believe this. The trees, the sun, the mycelium bring me connection and life when I actively think about them. But the moon affects me even when I forget that it is there.
Now, let's talk about what makes the New Moon stand out in the cosmic lineup. Unlike the Full Moon, which tends to hog the spotlight like a celestial diva, the New Moon is a bit more subtle but no less powerful.
This is the time for introspection, renewal, and planting the seeds of your intentions.
During the New Moon, the sky is dark, and the energy is quiet, making it the perfect time for some deep soul-searching and self-care. It's like the universe is handing you a cosmic spa day. So, take advantage of this tranquil energy to pamper yourself, whether it's with a bubble bath, some forest bathing, or journaling.
Use this time to reflect on what you want to invite into your life and what you're ready to let go of. Maybe it's a toxic relationship, a bad habit, or that pile of laundry that's been taunting you from the corner of your room.
Whatever it is, the New Moon is your chance to hit the cosmic reset button and start fresh.
Feel free to grab your crystals (or that cool looking rock you found on a hike, that colorful shell you found at the beach) light some candles, and sink into the soothing embrace of the New Moon's energy. I like to find my little zen den, in front of my alter, sage my room, and feel hopeful with the expansiveness that the new moon provides. It's like a warm hug from the universe, reminding you that you are capable of manifesting your wildest dreams and transforming your life in ways you never thought possible.
And remember this is YOUR new moon ritual. There is no way to do it right. Just make that day a little more sacred, make space and time for your inner healer to come out. Let the healing vibes wash over you like a wave of stardust and allow the universe to conspire to help you achieve your wildest dreams. You deserve it, moon child.
