You’ve probably been hearing a lot about the New Moon tonight. A New Moon is upon us for February 4, 2019 and it is bringing some exciting things with it. But let’s back up for a minute – what does a New Moon even mean and why is it so life changing?
As you begin your journey into an energy working, light seeking, crystal loving lifestyle – you will eventually start learning about the awesome power of the moon. Don’t get intimidated! That is probably the best advice I could give to anyone. Especially when you start to learn of all of the in-depth rituals, cleansings and preparation that go into certain celestial occurrences. I just looked on Pinterest and typed in “New Moon 2019” and I WAS OVERWHELMED at how much was out there. Learn as much as you can and then figure out what works for you.
What are you comfortable with?
What speaks to your soul and makes sense? Remember this is your journey.
For me, I know I will not be going into any wooded areas, forming circles with fire or staying outside for any period of time at night by myself. It doesn’t speak to me and it just doesn’t work for me. But if it does for you – that is awesome. I have some close friends who charge their crystals like that and it totally makes their souls do cartwheels. It would make my soul circle back to every scary movie I have ever seen. Maybe with time I will learn to embrace some more. But for right now, I am cool with charging crystals on my porch and doing things from the comfort of my little home.
So this New Moon that they speak of……before we dive into why this shining beacon is going to be so amazing. Let’s revisit that other epic moon from a few weeks ago. The Full Blood Wolf Moon with a side of a full lunar eclipse. It was epic. It was powerful and it kicked the cream cheese out of a lot of people. I legit was crying at an Apple commercial. I was 50 shades of that girl. And for a lot of people – they had similar experiences. After the Eclipse, everything for me was been heightened. I have felt super on edge since. Laser focused on what I want to manifest and make happen but super uneasy. Like I want to do 100 things at once. And that’s not possible. So my word for January was frantic. It brought up a lot of energy to walk between two times – old and new. Clearing out the old to prepare for all of the new abundance to come. But clearing out the old can be a daunting task. Lots of emotions. Overwhelming feelings of anxiety and disorientation – like what do I even tackle first? The bedroom closet or my finances? Start building content for all of my new ideas or clean the garage? I felt like I needed to clone myself into 7 people to make anything happen. Thankfully I have found comfort in focusing on tuning into my angel readings and some good wine. Oh and hot chocolate. It’s amazing what a hot chocolate bar can do to lift spirits in a house flooded with strong energy!
What can you do during the New Moon?
This New Moon is all about setting intentions. Because the energy of this moon is so intense, it is the best time to put into the universe EXACTLY what you want to manifest in the coming months. And it so happens to occur on a #manifestyourmonday ! How awesome is that?!
If you have been thinking about changing something big in your life or putting plans into action for something your soul has really been longing for – tonight is the night to make it all happen. I hate cliches, however, tonight truly is “Go Big or Go Home.” Dream your biggest, wildest dream and put it into action. But be VERY clear on what you want. The Universe is literal. If you say “I want this new job” but in your head you’re thinking “I wish I could get that job. But it’s such a reach. I probably won’t get it.” Guess what – it ain’t happening. The Universe will deliver a big giant “NO!” to you. Because you have basically said – I don’t deserve it. And if you don’t believe in yourself – why should the Universe?
So before manifesting anything under the New Moon – cleanse yourself. But what does that mean? No you don’t have to run naked under the first moonlight – unless you’re into that. Then by all means – have at it! Here is how I cleanse below:
My Cleansing Detox Bath:
- Hot Bath
- 20 minutes
- Handful of Epsom Salt
- 10 Drops of Essential Lavender Oil; This is the lavender oil I use and I am seriously in love with it https://amzn.to/2Stb0cq
- 1/2 Cup of Baking Soda
- Relax!!!!!! Put on some classical/new age music. Light a candle. Or 10! Whatever works for you. Just check out for 20 minutes and relax.
Get out all of the toxins and destress before setting intentions. It is so important! Once you are ready to set intentions, you must be confident. You deserve whatever it is you are asking for. Light a candle for a few minutes and focus on your breathing. There are some great/quick meditations on YouTube to clear your mind.
Now you are ready to set your intentions. Sit at a table/desk/whatever space you’ve set aside to be able to think and create. Close your eyes for a minute and think of a white, warm light surrounding your body. When I do this, it’s almost like a blanket is being laid over me. First it starts with the top of my head and works its way down. Really focus on the color of the light (could be off white, golden – whatever YOU envision) and the temperature and the calm it brings you. Now time to get out your pen and paper. Write down what you want but as if the intention has already come to fruition.
For Example:
“I absolutely love my new job as a writer” “Being able to create full time and receive an abundant paycheck to provide for me and my family is so fulfilling”
Avoid these words – Won’t/Can’t/Don’t
“I can’t wait till I am a write” “I won’t stop until I can write full time”
See what I did? I told the Universe – hey this IS happening and I am now ready for it to happen. NOW!!!!
Keep your piece of paper. You can make it as creative or simple as what your soul thinks it needs to be. Put this paper in your sacred space (I will talk about creating a sacred space in an upcoming blog post) and use it as a reminder of what you are focusing on during this New Moon energy.
Happy Manifesting Lightseekers!
