February Full Moon 2023 - Celebrate!

Hey there Moonchild :)

From the silence of the last Dark Moon in January (Mauni Amavasya), it's time to rise, shine and celebrate!

The Moon represents the inner world, our mind, emotions and feelings. The Dark Moon is when you rest in your pure essence, connect with your authenticity. As you journey from the Dark to the Full Moon, you start expressing that authenticity, radiating your essence. This peaks on the Full moon day (this time on February 5th), when you shine your light into the world!

The invitation for this Full Moon is to Rise, Shine & Celebrate!

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

Step 1

Identify what you would like to acknowledge and celebrate.

A reflection practice can help you with this.

- Sit down, close eyes and feel a deep connect with Mother Earth.

- Visualize a Full Moon in your eyebrow centre for a few breaths

- Place your palm on the heart. Notice the flow of breath here for 12 breaths

- Either reflect on the recent past with eyes closed OR journal using one of the following prompts that resonate with you:

Prompt option 1: I pat myself on the back for...

Prompt option 2: A recent win that warmed my heart is...

Prompt option 3: I am happy that...

-Read what you have written and hold this is your Heart space with a smile :)

Step 2

Celebrate!

What do you normally do to celebrate? Decide and go ahead!

Here are a few simple ideas if you need direction :)

-Talk to a close friend who will listen and appreciate it

-Make yourself/others a nice meal or have a small, soulful gathering at home

-Pray to your Ishtadevta/deity and offer gratitude

-Laugh out loud

- Simply DANCE, better still in the moonlight :)

If you are someone like me, who has two left feet, don't worry! This is only about moving for yourself and feeling the expanse and exhilaration of what you are celebrating. Here's a video I made a while ago that can help you.

Go ahead, blossom, shine your light :)

Hugs, love & gratitude
