New Moon In Cancer

Tonight marks the New Moon In Cancer. A beautifully feminine moon, the element of water and its free flowing energies are pouring through.

Cancer is an incredibly intuitive sign. This New Moon is urging us to find our own divine flow and set up home within ourselves. A truly emotive sign, it lends its energies to expression. Helping us to embrace our true natures, become more in tune with ourselves and express our authentic selves at any given moment or phase.

There is great power in embodying all that we are. Truly connecting to our own divinity allows us to harness all of our frequency and truly step in to our own power. Like the water we can rage, we can crash mighty waves against the rocks and carve in to them, and we can also be still and peaceful. Both of these sides hold power and reverence. That is the art of duality. This New Moon calls for us to embrace all facets of ourselves and play them each to our strengths. This is a time to truly go inwards, to allow you intuition to be heard loud and clear, and light the way for your forward movement. Get out of your heads and flow back in to the heart, for it’s the way of the heart that allows us to walk this intuitive path. Everything in life is guided by intuition, learning to flow with it is such a graceful and natural thing. That truly is our natural state and nature. Have a blessed new moon. Love and light.

Tips On How To Journal

The key to healing is connection. In order to heal something we first need to make friends with it. It’s through coming to know all aspects of it, that we can transcend it. There are levels to any shadow work and the roots often run deep. Journalling is an excellent way to understand those multi faceted layers of ourselves. Here are some tips on how to begin your journey with such:

. Put pen to paper. Take a moment to really let the pen rest on the paper. This can allow us to become fully present which makes it easier to tune in to our thoughts or feelings. Often, just taking a moment can lead to intuitive writing. And you’ll find things naturally begin to flow.

. Ask yourself questions. Struggling to connect or not sure on how to begin? Try asking yourself questions like “how are you feeling today?” Still drawing a blank… give a run down of the events of your day or week and see what topics or situations emerge.

. Don’t put pressure on yourself. Shadow work is often detective work. Connecting the dots can have its own process. If you feel you aren’t hitting the nail on the head, come back to it and see if you have a fresh prospective on it after a breather. It takes time and effort to unravel and learn from healing work. Don’t put pressure on yourself to get over something. You will, once you have uncovered and put effort in to healing all aspects of it.

. This is a judgement free zone. Often, you’ll find unexpected thoughts or feelings may arise as you get in to the nitty gritty of what’s on your mind. Don’t judge yourself if something you thought you breezed past, actually did have a reaction that you’ve come to uncover. Remember, shadow work allows us to bring light to past, present and even future self limiting beliefs so that we can move past them. They are teaching tools. Every thought, feeling and trigger is working with us, to help us to grow. They are friends, not foes.

. Be consistent. Consistency really is key. The more you journal the more connected you are to self. This will help you to understand your thought processes and inner workings more easily. You’ll find over time it becomes second nature to know what’s on your mind, in your heart, and what to do to heal it.

. Enjoy the experience. Sure, healing work requires courage but notice how even after the heaviest journalling session, you feel lighter for having gotten it all off your chest. Even after a good crying session, you’ll find you always feel better. Releasing energy is freeing and good for our overall well being. Journalling allows you to develop a deep connection to self. This is a wonderful relationship to have, as you’ll learn to appreciate and love the many aspects that make up you and love as we know, is incredibly healing. It’s completely possible to feel loved and supported by yourself alone don’t forget unconditional love starts at home.
