Ritual for First Full Moon of 2020

The first full moon of the year (and of this decade) approaches in just a few short days!

Each month, nature gives us the gift of the Full Moon…a sacred time for releasing what is no longer serving us, and of letting go of what we have been clinging on to.

It’s a time for moving on, for forgiveness, and for healing.

As many of us know well by now, the full moon is also a time of heightened emotion – especially for the most sensitive among us!

I used to dread the full moon, because I live in a house of highly sensitive empaths, and when the majority of us were out of touch with our emotions, it wouldn’t be pleasant to be at home.

My brothers and I would fight, my father and my brothers would fight, my mom and I would even get snappy with each other!

Thankfully, over the years, we’ve come to understand the cycles of the moon much better – and one another.

I know that when the full moon comes around, it is imperative that I practice patience.

I think before I speak, and I become much more thoughtful and aware around this time because of that.

If you haven’t been tapping into Grandmother Moon’s incredible power to bring our darkness to the light, to bring out our shadows to play, it’s definitely time to get on board!

You can start super simply – get out your journal and a pen, and write a stream-of-consciousness journal entry about how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking about, and what’s currently going on in your life.

Maybe set aside a small journal that you only write in around the full moon, to make it more intentional and ceremonial.

It’s also interesting to go back and read old entries and see what your state of mind was like on past full moons.

Be open to your mind and allow yourself to write down whatever comes up for you. Simply writing is a form of releasing and healing, and is a great ceremony on its own.

I have various rituals that I perform on the full moon, but I do save that time of month for working with my shadows.

I really like to take advantage of the fact that my shadows are closer to the surface during this cosmic phase, and I go deep and perform shadow work with my own Lightwork Ceremony.

Shadow work – accessing our subconscious mind and healing aspects of ourselves that are “off,” “broken,” or “shattered” - on the full moon is extremely powerful.

Talking to your inner child and seeing how you could heal them is even more effective when our shadows are so close to the surface.

Be good to yourself around the full moon.

Be kind to yourself. Honoring the moon, the sun, the seasons, and nature in itself will bring out a new aspect of yourself…one that is connected to all things, understands our true nature better, and can heal, grow, and improve more easily.

Full Moon - Simple Ritual:

- Dedicate a journal to your full moon writings

- Light a candle to honor Grandmother moon

- Allow yourself to write about whatever is on your mind, whatever you may be thinking and feeling...stream-of-consciousness journaling is an excellent way to release and even heal. There's nothing you need to do except allow yourself to be expressive!

My full moon ritual: The Lightwork Ceremony

For a simple release, consider trying my 45-minute breathwork journey, Breathe.

Simply lay back and allow me to guide you in releasing trapped energy, resistant emotions, trauma, and more. Great for letting go of things that have happened that you keep playing in your mind, and releasing painful past memories. Access that here.

Working with Non-Physical Teachers and Guides

Author of Seat of the Soul, Gary Zukav encourages​​​​ us to evolve through responsible choice of and with the assistance and guidance of non-physical guides and teachers.

For about two days now, the Goddess Venus has been making herself known to me...reaching out to me in a sense...

Let me explain.

I believe in God. No, forget believe! 

I KNOW God.

I do not, however, subscribe to the notion that​​​​ God is a white man in the clouds, looking down on us and judging.

​​That was never my belief or view - and while I know it's the way a lot of people experience Godliness, it's just not something I resonate with.

​​Through experiencing slivers of samadhi and something akin to a near-death experience, I have found that God is pure, unconditional love, that exists within us, outside of us, and in every corner of the universe. 

​​My personal view on God is that there is One Universal Mind, a Source, the Primordial Father AND Mother, an All That Is that created everything.​​ The alpha and omega. 

I believe that this Source is expressed through all the realms we often talk about, through all different types of beings and entities, and through each one of us.

ONE such expression of God can be found in our myths - with concepts such as the archetypes and the Roman and Greek Gods. 

These nonphysical energies are simply aspects of God and aspects of humanity and the collective unconscious. They come to us as teachers, guides, and healers. They are here to help us in the Earth School. ​​​ When a deity such as the Roman Goddess Venus comes to us, they are offering to help us to embody characteristics that they represent.

They might be assisting us in bringing about healing in some aspect of our life, pointing out to you what the future will hold, providing you with the resources to get what you desire, or simply aligning to the frequency you've been putting out.

You might be asking, just how did Venus come to you?

She first came to me in a dream two nights ago.​​​​ In the dream, my brother was talking to me about her, almost introducing me to her.

She then guided me (still in the dream) to find a book about her ​... showing me that she wants me to study her.

The next day, the word "Venus" came up in regular conversation TWICE, brought up by the person I was speaking with and not by me.

That same night, I visited the Griffith Observatory. I walked past a room where the Tesla Coil was being admired, ​​​​into a room with a giant pendulum.

The pendulum was magnificent, but what really caught my eye was on the ceiling - Venus, laying in her feminine glory, interacting with the Four Seasons​​.

​​This was the Griffith Observatory's Ballin Ceiling Mural, created in 1934 - something I had never seen before, but which took my breath away. 

We already know not to believe in coincidences.

These, to me, are very obvious communications from an intelligent being.  ​ Lately, I have been immersing myself with the concept of prosperity and abundance - hint hint, new course :D. ​​​​ 

So of course, when I sat down to figure out what to do about this new communication, I was ecstatic to find out that Venus is the goddess of love, beauty, sexuality, abundance, fertility, and finances.

​​​​I was focusing and tapping into a certain energy, and the Goddess found me.

She is also the Goddess of sexual healing, something I consistently work on within myself, so to me this was a sign that I'm in the right direction - my healing is still ongoing and underway.

How do you work with a deity when they come to you?

If you have a meditation altar where you sit to journal and meditate (I have a little box in my room that holds my sage, palo santo, Florida water, essential oils, mala and crystals. In front of it is my meditation pillow. It's my mini altar!) ​​​​​, adding "gifts" or "offerings" to the nonphysical energy that you want to work with is really powerful.

For example, Venus loves roses, pearls, milk, and honey. To honor her, I will get some roses to put on my altar and borrow an old pearl necklace from my mom to place on the altar. 

Studying the symbols of the deity and sitting in meditation with those things on our mind is an easy and effective method of connecting with them.

Throughout your day, you will feel subtle guidance from this energy, assisting you in making wise decisions based on whatever aspect of the world they rule, and you will feel protected from the Divine.

At night, this same energy will work its magic on you, performing healing as you sleep.

Author of Seat of the Soul, Gary Zukav encourages​​​​ us to evolve through responsible choice of and with the assistance and guidance of non-physical guides and teachers.

Without this guidance, we are purely physical beings, destined to only learn through physical, and often painful​, challenges.

Working with these teachers makes the Earth School much more enjoyable.

I will update you on my work with Venus...for now, tell me, have you worked with a non-physical teacher before?

Changing Your Appearance with the Law of Attraction

Using mind power to change your appearance IS possible.

It’s been a while since I’ve talked about changing appearance using the law of attraction.

Since the last video in May 2017, so much has changed – my spiritual journey has since gotten so much richer and more meaningful.

I feel like I’ve moved away from theory and simple empirical evidence and to knowing exactly what to do, why we should do it, and how to do it.

Let me start by saying this. Changing your appearance IS possible.

Today, I have a method for you that WILL work.

I’ve developed this method through my spiritual journey and through the thousands of success stories I’ve received since making my first change your appearance video.

Let me explain.

Even as someone who teaches spirituality and law of attraction, I go through stages where I’m not consciously manifesting the reality I want.

For months now, I’ve been feeding myself a story – I’ll get back in shape in 2019, in February, in March…

With that story, came the limiting belief that I’m NOT in shape. 

The other day, I was looking myself in the mirror and picking at things I didn’t like – when I felt a nudge.

It was a playful nudge from my higher self.

Side note: When you’re super in tune with yourself and your intuition, it’s really easy to hear the messages from your higher self and from the universe!

My higher self, who I really am, was telling me I’m being so silly by being mean to my human suit.

This was a concept I had never really considered before, and so I started to have a full on laugh attack…I truly had a lovely belly laugh, and looked at myself again and thought – wow body, I really love you.

The concept of “human suit” was so unbelievably funny and adorable to me, that my whole mood changed.

And with that vibration-raiser, I received a download of information from my higher self, which I knew was meant to be shared with my community:

it was a reminder, something I had always known (that’s how information from your higher self feels. It feels familiar).

The reminder was to love your human suit until it looks exactly the way you want it to, but not be attached to it because it’s such an earthly matter that has no real baring on the big picture at all. 

Let me explain, and if you tap into this and really let it in, you will likely disassociate with the body a bit and realize who you really are. 

Your body is not you, it simply isn’t WHO YOU ARE.

We define ourselves based on our bodies – white, black, yellow, olive, tall, short, blue eyed, brown eyed…but really, our body is a biological machine that is home for our soul.

This machine protects your soul, allows you to explore the physical earthly world, allows you to taste delicious food and feel a loved ones touch…

It is a loving machine that does its absolute best to help you navigate this beautiful world and get you up in the morning so you could enjoy all the senses you desire. 

Our human suit is doing it’s very best to stay healthy and energetic for us, even though we are so so mean to it. 

We pick on it every day: we tell it it’s too fat, too skinny, too short, too slow, too dark, too pale, too tired.

Instead of taking care of this container that houses our soul, we neglect and abuse it.

We feed it too much or too little, we abuse it with alcohol and drugs and sex with people who don’t deserve or treasure it, we compare it to other human suits and make it feel like it’s unworthy…

Would you ever treat anyone in your life like this? No? Then why would you treat yourself like that? Why would you treat the biological machine that you CHOSE to inhabit, in that way? 

If you want to change something, you have to love it into changing. You cannot hate something into changing. 

And that’s the thing about a human suit. It’s just a suit.

It can change. But you have to be at the right place mentally and within your soul – a place where you’re giving it unconditional love and understanding and realizing it’s doing it’s very best with what you give it.

Love will change you, love will transform the human suit to the most dazzling YOU you could have ever hoped to be.

So what DO we need to do?

What you need to do is look at yourself in the mirror with a big smile on your face and say “I love you” over and over again, especially to the specific parts of you you want to change.

Your higher self knows exactly the way you desire to look, so when you align with the frequency of loving what you have already, your reality will reflect that.

When you go to sleep at night, I want you to close your eyes, put that smile on your face again, check in with your body, then talk to it.

Talk to your body whenever you can. Tell it you love it, tell it you appreciate it, you’re grateful for all the hard work it does for you.

List some of the things you’re grateful for that your body does for you. Hug yourself tightly – the way you would a person that you’ve hurt for many many years and now want to become best friends with. 

Your body will accept that love and THRIVE from it. 

There are studies that show plants thrive when they are given love. Since you are not your body, it applies exactly in the same way.

You feed your body love, sunshine, give it plenty of rest, feed it the best food you possibly can give it – water it often, keep it away from people that can hurt it, only share it with people that will cherish and treasure it, and keep telling it it’s doing such a good job. 

You can visualize how you want to look, and that’ll help keep your ego occupied, who doesn’t want to believe you can change the way you look so easily – but your heart knows.

Your soul knows. So if you aren’t good at visualizing yourself looking differently, you don’t need to do that.

You just need to work on shushing your ego up. Give it love like you give your body love. Remember, the egos main purpose is to protect us.

We have to start loving our human suit no matter what.

It’s the same with money – so many people think that if they won the lottery they will suddenly be so happy because they can buy things.

The reality is that if you don’t fix the inside first, if you don’t understand what’s going on with your soul, all you’re doing is changing the outside physical circumstances and putting the same person into them. You will have all the same problems and all the same emotions, just in a fancier setting.

Nothing external can fix how we feel. We have to fix it from the inside.

I love my body so so so much. Thank you for everything you do for me.

Thank you for protecting me through the years of abuse I out you through / the years of pain and neglect. I love you so much.

Now, it’s your turn.
