new moon. new beginning.
a new era for our minds.
today is 1.11 + it marks the 1st new moon of 2024. the moon, in her beautiful cycles, calls us to honor the death + rebirth cycle.
it is an invitation to honor the part of us that desires evolution + to anchor into that energy with a grounded trust that allows us to create from a limitless space.
the mind is our safety, our comfort - no matter what lies within it; the environment of the mind is anchored in the lives we’ve known. it calls us to stay.
the mind also shows us our patterns. it is a glorious interpreter + meaning making machine. knowing that, how can we leverage it?
what if feeling like an outcast shifted into leading the way + having strength go 1st?
what if feeling judgement shifted into discerning what is true + right?
what if feeling anger shifted into being passionate + giving a damn, having a big heart?
what if we started seeing everything that happens around us as experiences calling us IN instead of casting us OUT? what if we started thanking our minds for bringing attention to what is ready to be seen differently?
MEDITATION
I started meditating in 2017. at the time, all I wanted was to get out of my head + to create space for stillness.
the journey did not come easily to me. guided meditations worked best because it gave me something to focus on outside of my thoughts. then I learned that meditation is not about being able to sit in silence; it is really the act of training the mind’s attention. so, when your mind wanders, meditation is in the act of bringing it back to whatever your focus. and, we can meditate while doing many things - wherever we find ourselves immersed entirely in the moment of where we are - walking, doing dishes, listening to music…
the more I meditated, the easier it became to create space in my body, to stop my mind from wandering incessantly. that space is what allowed me to hear my soul again; in clearing the noise, I was able to receive from my intuition.
THE JOURNEY TO INTUITION
at 1st, it was “random” words + ideas. then, it became visions, dropping into past lives + other worlds. it became a voice within me that I couldn’t ignore.
once I tapped into this ethereal, sublime space, I started to reject my mind. it felt so annoying, limiting + of low vibration. it felt out of congruence of where I wanted to be.
I decided to hone my intuition. so, I went on a healing journey, deep into my subconscious - bringing awareness to + releasing my ties to belief systems and old constructs that didn’t feel in resonance with the truth of who I was + yearned to be. this healing opened up space in my channel to sharpen messages + intuitions coming through. I learned to access it intentionally + to tap in for guidance whenever I needed.
as my channeling expanded, I was able to witness my mind interpreting the messages. that’s what helped me realize that my mind was what allowed me to share the energy in a way that bridges intuition with logic. I recognized my incredible gift for navigating energy - connecting all layers of consciousness - bridging the human + ethereal worlds.
despite the awareness growing around my mind, I still saw it as limiting + fear-based. my journey beyond the mind wanted me to reject that. but, now I realize that the mind is a part of the human experience for a reason; it is an ally.
the mind is a messenger. it shows us what is left to be healed (patterns, repeating thoughts) + it helps us understand our experience. I believe that to the extent I can accept + love all parts of me is the extent that I can honor life, evolution and the beauty in it all.
PURPOSE
for years I sought belonging. this work has led me to discover that belonging resides within me. it is within me that matters; this is my soul’s journey.
so, under this new moon, I am proclaiming the following:
I have courage to continue walking this path with an open heart
I lead myself with radical responsibility
I make decisions that expand me + embrace change
I continue to honor my expression, even if I haven’t made sense of it yet
I am devoted to revealing my truth
I invest intuitively + trust where I am guided
I can hold fear + move anyway
I trust that what’s for me will always find me
being called into this epic adventure has been life changing for me. it has helped me understand more about who I am + why I’m here. and, that continues to grow each + every day. my hope is that sharing my journey into the mystery inspires you to begin or expand yours.
thank you for your presence + willingness to witness me. I stand, you stand. together, we rise.
