guidance in alignment with the lunar cycle
New Moon Blessings my friend! Whilst the energy is in general thought of as low in relation to the New Moon - It is also a time of planting seeds of intention. Just like placing a dormant seed into the earth - So too can we plant these seeds of intention to nurture through out the coming Lunar Cycle to bring into fruition.
This can look any number of ways - This is your mahi ora - Life work, to figure out what it looks like for you. Mostly though - it is a commitment to yourself & the carving out of time.
Choosing yourself. Knowing that which you embody - in time, will manifest without.
For myself - After the reflections of the last phase of the Lunar Cycle yesterday - I pull out insight & intentions for myself. From these intentions I will then at times create new affirmations (depending on what is called for) AND/OR turn to one of my taonga - to lean back into the work that is called for.
Of course I have a wee collection of stones that I have been working closely with over the past few years. The work of each is multifaceted, just as I am. It can be as simple or as complex, depending on what aspect I focus my attention on.
Either way - I ground back into the energy/intention/affirmation consistently throughout my days & the Lunar Cycle to facilitate the change I wish to embody.
Embodiment
As we consistently ground into our intentions & bring awareness to the rising of ways of being within - In relation to our intention - We are in the process of alchemy.
At times it may feel like you are getting nowhere - As ways of being you wish to shift continually arise - But trust the process my friend. Each time you notice - You are in the process of learning something - Whether is it perceived as "good" or "bad" at its essence it is gaining insight.
AWARENESS IS THE ALCHEMLY OF TRANSFORMATION.
Awareness of that which we wish to tend to, what is attached to it & what is beneath it; is the foundation of this work.
With this focus within, in alignment with compassion & curiosity - We also shift from looking outside of ourselves for the changes we wish to see & begin to look within.
It is a shift from looking outside of your self for change to being the change you wish to see.
The North Star of Intention
It always helps to have something to aim for. In this way - Your intentions are here for you to ground back into throughout the coming cycle.
Without aim - our energy can be scattered. To consistently ground back into your intention channels your energy - Therefore most likely creating change or at the least - Allowing you to gain valuable insight.
I also get it, life is alot. The work can seem like ALOT. Knowing where to start can be tough.
But it can also be simple my friend.
Some of the most simple intentions to create are to meet yourself with kindness.
To notice & release self judgement.
To meet yourself with love.
To speak to yourself like someone you love x
Love is always a good place to start. When we open our hearts up to ourselves - Well we in turn open our hearts of to the magnificence of the unfolding of life before us.
Many blessings for this new Lunar Cycle.
With love,
Millisa x
