New Moon Journaling | Intention — Gemini

This guided journaling practice is designed to align with the quiet, powerful energy of the New Moon, a time for intention-setting, renewal, and fresh beginnings. Inspired by Yasmin Boland’s Moonology, we’ll explore what you’re ready to call in and nurture in the cycle ahead.

Through thoughtful prompts, you’ll be supported in planting seeds of intention, clarifying desires, and reconnecting with your inner guidance as you begin a new chapter, one breath, one page at a time.

Thank you for journaling with me.

I invite you to follow my profile to explore more reflection and self-connection practices.

Background music: “Grace of a Butterfly” by fellow teacher and friend, Blossom Violet. You’ll find more of her beautiful music throughout my playlists and on her profile.

Hello and welcome. Today we are talking about the new moon in Gemini. And those new moons are definitely my favorites for manifesting, Which is one of my favorite topics. And I was looking at Moonology by Yasmin Boland. She says there's a lot of big astrology building in June, And the new moon in Gemini is going to start triggering those energies. She also points out that whether or not you believe in astrology, You should take this as a sign that it's time for you to change the landscape of your life. And I love that. She says June is when people come out of the dark to change the scenery. It's a relatively easy month, And it's a relatively easy new moon. I always find every new moon is a chance to restart and having one that's easy is even better. So she writes a personal new month, If you will, As opposed to a new calendar month is how you should look at this. Think about that, Set some intentions and see how you go. And as a huge fan and believer in manifesting, I love that she points out to the neuroscience here and Dr. James Doty, Who happens to be a clinical professor at Stanford. It says that when we set an intention, We activate brain networks associated with goal orientation that make an intention important. Or noteworthy. In practice, This means that regardless of whether or not the intention is present on a conscious level, Brain mechanisms that remain focused on the goal are activated around the clock. Our internal intention now guides our life. I talk about this a lot in my scripting and manifesting course. Which is all about your reticular activating system and how we focus on certain things and they suddenly come to life. For example, I'm currently shopping for my next lease, And I wanted a particular color, And of course, As soon as I became fixated on that color, I started seeing it everywhere. And that's really how manifesting and setting intentions works. Whether or not you believe it's woo-woo, Or whether you go with the neuroscience, It definitely works. Once you start focusing, These things start appearing, And I'm sure you've had that experience. A red car. You wanted a red car. Now there's red cars everywhere you look. We're going to use that to work with this new moon. And I decided to pull a card for us because I was recently on vacation celebrating my birthday. I'm a Gemini. And everywhere I went, There were books, Card decks, And podcasts suddenly popping up about manifesting. So that was my sign without a doubt. I bought this beautiful deck called The Secret Language of Manifestation by Denise Jarvie. And I pulled card number 32, Duality. Contrasts of Desires. And it says, When both sides are explored and appreciated, You move into the center. Accept the friction of duality needed for desires to manifest. How would you know joy if not for sadness? I love that message because we've all been through moments where things have been heavy or hard or difficult. And in retrospect, Some of the hardest times in my life, Without a doubt, Brought me to moments of joy. And see that contrast where I could appreciate the good things in my life. I'm going to read you her message. Today is a day to see all things as they are without opinion or resistance. There is no need to choose one over another. This is easier said than done as we have been taught to label and categorize everything to feel secure. Drop your subjective bias and see things as a whole. Then move back into your heart center and create from a balanced perspective. Choices are clear and decisions easily made when our internal and external realities are integrated. This leads to feelings of certainty, As there is no resistance to your fulfillment. From this integrated space, When you can scan the myriad possibilities in the manifested world, You will feel sure of your desires and not feel overwhelmed. You become grateful for your decisions now and all the ones you will make in the future. You begin to effortlessly flow with life. What a beautiful message and what a perfect story. Thought for us to enter into our journaling. And we're going to use our New Moon journaling prompts, My favorites. 1. My current, Biggest, Most audacious goal, Wish or intention is. . . And turn that into an affirmation when you're done. Write it as if it's already happened and keep repeating that until the full moon. So, Alright friends, Let's listen to Blossom, Violet's beautiful background music and let's set our intentions in our journal. All right friends, I hope you got something amazing written in your journal. I hope that you're going to share it with me. I would love to hear what you journaled about. I would love to hear about your big audacious goals and if they come true, I want to hear that too. I have one right now which I have written about and I am feeling really good about. I'm not going to share it just yet, But I will share it with you if you ask me. So until next time, I'm sending you good vibes and I'm hoping that you will see your manifestations come to life. And let's meet back here in a couple of weeks for the next full moon. Until then, Keep shining like the beautiful, Bright diamond that you are.
