Welcome dear friends,
This is Sarah and I am so happy to have you with me again.
Today's practice is for the full moon in Leo or at any time in your life where you wish to consider the ways that you may be holding yourself back from shining.
As always it is a guided interactive practice that has space for you to journal and consider some prompts.
So if you haven't already you can grab a pen and a piece of paper or your journal if you have one,
I'll wait for you and you can come back and we'll begin.
It might be nice too to just make your space comfortable,
To make sure that you won't be disturbed for the next 15 minutes or so.
You might just want to clear the energy of the room a little bit by opening the windows and letting some fresh air in.
You might want to light some incense,
You might want to burn some sage or whatever way you can make the space feel like the right one for you to do this work.
As humans we receive cues from nature almost every day.
We instinctively feel the change in energy as day becomes night,
As the seasons change and as the moon moves through its cycle.
And as the moon moves from new to full we can take advantage of the increasing energy and use it as a springboard to understand what our deepest wishes are and begin to consciously create them in our lives.
You are a powerful creator whether you are aware of it or not.
Every story you tell yourself,
Every I am statement you make,
Finds its way into manifestation.
And as we begin to tune into the lunar cycle with its natural highs and lows we can begin to use each phase to reflect,
Listen in,
Set intentions,
Take action and manifest.
From here we learn the power of I am and how we can harness it.
The journey through the lunar cycle and the astrology of each lunation is a journey to deeper understanding,
To clarity on our desires and ultimately a journey back to the self.
When the moon is full it is directly opposite the sun in the sky.
And by considering the astrology of both and relating these opposing themes to our own lives we lay the foundations of our moon journaling and we begin to understand where we need to make change in order to move forward.
The video is bold,
Dramatic fire energy.
It's the flamboyant dynamic part of us that appears when a fire is lit beneath us and it's the moment to step into the spotlight and shine.
Opposite the sun in Aries Aquarius which is a humanitarian sign concerned with innovation,
Change and social justice.
It asks us to think about the ways in which we are holding ourselves back from shining.
So if you're ready grab your journal or just a piece of paper and a pen and let's consider these themes.
Take some time now to just think about what lights a fire under you.
Think about hobbies,
Jobs,
Passion projects,
Causes and write them down.
I'll keep playing the time for you and I will come back to you in two minutes.
Thank you.
There's one minute to go.
Thank you.
Take some time next to think about what the dynamic,
Leo part of you looks like.
And remember that that doesn't need to be bold and flamboyant.
This is your expression of your best self,
Whatever that looks like.
Who are you when a fire is lit under you?
Who are you when you care deeply about something?
I'll keep playing the time for you and I will come back to you in two minutes.
Thank you.
You have one minute to go.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's think now about the ways that we might be dimming our light.
What behaviors,
Fears,
Patterns,
Situations are holding you back from shining or from stepping into the spotlight?
I will keep playing the time and come back to you in two minutes.
Thank you.
One minute left.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
When you feel ready,
Let's take your list of the ways in which you are holding yourself back from shining.
And on a new page,
Turn that list into a series of letting go affirmations.
Use strong phrases here such as I am free from,
I release,
I let go of,
I no longer,
I stop.
Take two minutes to do this.
I'll come back to you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Let's take that vision now of your dynamic Leo self and turn that into a series of I am affirmations.
Think of positive,
Uplifting phrases and really feel each one in the body as you write it.
Connect with the emotion and the why behind each statement.
You have two minutes.
Thank you.
Thank you.
There's one minute remaining for your positive I am statements.
Thank you.
Let's finish now by releasing all those things that are holding us back with this moon.
Take your list of everything that you are now free from and rip it up.
And as you tear it,
Visualize each thing being torn away as you do it.
You can throw the pieces away or because Leo is fire energy,
It might be wonderful to connect with that element and grab a heatproof bowl and safely burn them.
Let the flame just take each piece and repeat each affirmation out loud as it burns.
I am free from,
I release.
It might even feel good to shout.
Take your list of positive I am statements and place them somewhere that you will see them.
And over the next two weeks as we lead up to the new moon,
Practice repeating them every day.
See how you feel.
See what action steps come to you that you might want to take to make them a reality.
And together we will set those as intentions with the coming new moon in Pisces.
As always,
You can finish with a thank you and you can affirm it is done.
Thank you so much for being with me again.
Much love to you all and I will talk to you for the new moon in Pisces.
