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.

New Moon In Gemini

Tonight marks the New Moon In Gemini This is an exciting new moon as gemini is an Air Sign. Air signs are all about communication, taking action and applying thought to everything.

This new moon is buzzing with the energies from this social sign. It’s time to gather our tribe, share our inspirations/ideas and get busy experiencing what life has to offer. This new moon is asking us to look at our mindsets, thought processes, beliefs and expectations. This way we can learn why we see things the way we currently do and shift perspectives to ensure we stay on track with our personal goals.

Gemini can also have a very ungrounded energy. Our minds can race, we can jump from thought to thought and even become too enthralled with our internal thoughts. We can also become overwhelmed with our emotions and find it more difficult to decipher what we are feeling, as these energies can throw us off. Make sure to take time out to ground when you feel these energies rising. Don’t become too caught up in the logical, it will only distract you from listening to your intuition - which is always the way to go. Let the energies come up for you and create balance between the logical side of yourselves, and your intuitive instincts. What we think we in turn create so it’s important to highlight the areas in which we feel stuck of stagnant and adjust accordingly. Thought and intention are incredibly powerful and this new moon is all about realising how our mindsets have a direct effect on how we manifest.

Full Moon In Sagittarius

Tomorrow night marks the Full Moon In Sagittarius As always, full moons are about releasing and with the full moon being a fire sign, it invokes transformation.

It’s time we face what no longer serves us with honesty and bravery as we commit to the long needed change and release them. Fear is something we all struggle with from time to time and lately it’s crept back in. The fear of stepping outside of our comfort zones and facing all of those shadows, piece by piece has forced us to sometimes cling to the familiar, no matter how much it doesn’t serve us. This full moon is shedding light on those areas, and asking us to step in to our power as we release them, once and for all. Greatness lies outside of our comfort zones.

Sagittarius is the eternal knowledge seeker, the globe trotter. Seeking adventures of new. This energy is coming in to support us and challenge us to step outside of the norms and embrace the new adventures and new cycles once more. It’s time to shake off those old stagnant energies and start a new exciting journey who’s with me .

This full moon is asking us to be brave, to face all of our shadows, identify the areas where fear has crept back in and be brave enough to cast them aside. Usually new moons are full of excitement for the new energies we will be welcoming in but I very much feel that excitement this full moon too. Have a blessed full moon and good luck on your new adventures

Dark Night Of The Soul

. Dark Night Of The Soul .

Have any of you lovely lot ever heard of this phrase before? Have you gone through it? Are you currently going through it? We’d love to know. So for those of you who aren’t aware of this phrase, what is the Dark Night Of The Soul?

As we walk the path of light, back to our true and authentic selves and reconnect with the truth that we are the light beings and not the body, we in turn raise our vibrations and begin to ascend. There are two sides to such, one side that speaks of the light - all the good and amazing high vibrational things that we align with when doing such, and the other speaks of the dark - the lower emotions and the struggles of ascending. This is what the dark night of the soul is. Please do not be afraid. It can be a difficult journey but it’s only a temporary stage in our enlightenment which once we come through, leads to the most beautiful life filled with authenticity and perfect alignment.

As we raise our vibrations, as we begin to ascend we in turn leave behind all that no longer serves us. This can be the start of a period of time where we see those things no longer in alignment with ourselves, fall away. Though it is for our best interests and will undoubtedly lead to new things coming in to our lives that are in perfect alignment with our higher energies, it can be a hard time of adjustment and an emotionally charged time as we say goodbye. It is not uncommon during this time to see the breakdown of friendships and relationships as sometimes, not everyone can grow with us.

We can also see changes in our career, interests and desires. We can see small changes and sometimes we can see big changes, depending on where we are at in our ascension journey and how much things are currently aligned or not aligned with such. I like to refer to this period of time as growing pains, as we challenge ourselves to face and work through the shadow work that presents itself to us. As we grow in light, we open up space and room for healing, transcending all that is of the dark (which is merely just empty space for the light to inhabit) and bringing new light to those areas - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually. It’s a time of dedication, perseverance, growing, learning and unlearning. It can still be a beautiful time as healing work is magical, it is alchemy after all. It can be fun to learn, grow and widen your horizons and push the boundaries of your beliefs. I promise you though you may see many people exit your life during this time you will eventually find new wonderful people who share that same energy with you. When that happens, it is truly magical. As painful as goodbyes can be, the welcoming into a new family, often a soul family, can be absolutely life changing and bring about an even deeper period of healing, surrounded by unconditional love and unwavering support.
