New Moon Ritual 

 

All around me I see friends who are on a spiritual path 🕊️ as you, go through the intense recalibration, and realignment.

 

An old friend reached out to me last week asking if I could help her or give advice about what to do with what she is going through. Her body seized to operate, depression kicked in, doctors tell her that everything is ok, however she cant get out of bed, feeling that life as she knew has ended. 

 

"Everything is meaningless", she said to me 😔, "I know that this is nothing to do with the illness, I read some books, and I have a feeling that it is a sign for me to change things, but I don't know how and what do to". 

________

 

So, we journeyed within, we looked for answers in the body, in the depths of her subconscious, we asked for guidance, received healing and the courage to make small but actionable steps towards what her soul and her inner child needs at this time.

 

The answers were simple, return to nature. 

And by that the request from the inside of us all, I feel, is to reconnect with what is sacred, what is joyful, sensual, loving... reconnect with our Soul and the Soul of this planet we live on.

 

So what opportunity we have during this New Moon/Solar Eclipse in Aries (April 2024)?

 

❔ Begin with contemplative questions for you to feel into, have clarity about what is arising now:

  • What is painful for you at this time? What fears or doubts are arising at this time?
  • What thoughts my mind is full of? What am I triggered by the most? What is arising now, that I thought I dealt with already?
  • What is it that I feel called to do?
  • What gives me pleasure, what lights me up, what do I want more of to feel?
  • What am I trying to sweep up under the carpet? What am I avoiding by falling into my survival patterns of getting stuck in studying, doing, watching tv, smoking weed 🙄, self-pleasuring to achieve the same outcome over and over?

 

🌜 New Moon Ritual :

  1. I always like to start with the connection to nature, this is also where I would plant a seed of my intention. Depending on what arose for you by answering the contemplative questions above, you can connect with a particular tree. (email me if you want to see which one calling you now). 
  2. Some examples: Apple is for Decisiveness (if you are experiencing lack of clarity, afraid to make a wrong choice), Hazel is for Intuition (if doubt is present at this time), Willow is for Empathy (if you are in need to find centre inside of your body, or you are in need of empathy for aspects of self that you don't like, tend to push away, or judge)
  3. Then I would return home, set up my Altar, prepare my offering for the gods and the goddess, elements, animals or ancestors that I am to call in to aid me in my journey, light the candles. 
  4. You can then immerse yourself in whatever practice you want to open with. I like to start with writing a prayer that I will use for the next moon cycle. It may look like this: "Dear spirit, divine mother and father. I gather in your name so that I can be of greater service to you and your fellows. I ask that the seeds that I am planting during this new moon (which ones), receive your blessing and your support..."
  5. I would then sit in meditation, with the statement: "Thank you that I am ... loving, courageous, abundant in time and resources to live the life of freedom, and adventures "... or whatever you want to call in, which flowers you want to see grow from your seeds of intentions. And feel into these words, feel into how it would feel like in your body/mind, what would be possible for you.
  6. In addition to the above, I would find a peace of music (like this one) that would really evoke emotions that I am calling in, connect with my heart and dance with it until I feel the new state in my body (even if for couple of minutes). This practice is good to practice daily for super fast manifestation.😍
  7. To finish you can offer your offerings to those you called in on (it can be incense, food, wine). Thank for their presence and their guidance. 
  8. Close ceremony.
