Full Moon in Virgo
With a Full Moon / Blood Moon / Lunar Eclipse and Autumn Equinox coming all within the next 7 days, things may get a little hairy.
Now is the perfect opportunity to draw on your tools, beautiful soul.
Get outside and into nature, switch off the television and the radio, pop your phone on silent or do not disturb and go walk among the trees, or by a body of water, the beach, river or dam and allow Mother Nature to help restore your balance, clear your mind and soothe your soul.
Drink plenty of water, dehydration introduces brain fog and increases anxiety as your body tells you it is missing something vital, but sometimes we miss the cues and roll straight on in to fight-flight-freeze mode. Our bodies consist of over 70% water so it is important to keep this topped up to help everything continue to work well for you, plus water helps energy flow through your body with more ease and helps flush toxins from our bodies.
Meditate! This is such an important tool, it assists you mentally, physically, emotionally, energetically! In other words is a generally wonderful modality that covers all bases to help us live more happily, healthfully and with greater balance. If you haven’t worked with me and learnt the basics of meditation there are loads of free resources from apps to YouTube videos out there, find one that feels good for you and introduce it to your daily routine, you won’t regret it I promise x.
If you would like to take your meditation an extra step I can recommend the Loving Kindness Meditation as it encourages you to send love and compassion not only to yourself, but also to those you love and beyond. If you doubt that your little bit can help I encourage you to Google the Maharishi Effect, your consciousness affects the collective, beautiful soul. This has been one of the most scientifically studied affects of meditation out there, and though the focus is more on Transcendental Meditation, if this form is not comfortable for you that is totally okay! There are numerous styles of mediation and not one hat fits everyone, so experiment and allow your energy to join the global energy in a peaceful and productive way.
The Full Moon is the perfect time to release what no longer serves you and to forgive, yourself and others. Write a list of all who you feel have hurt or misaligned you in some way and how they hurt you and write all the times you have felt you could have done better or have done wrong by others… then burn it. As the flames consume the paper fill your heart with forgiveness and compassion and allow the fire to cleanse you of the burden of your pain and the smoke to carry your troubles to the ether, away from you and toward a higher being more capable of carrying the load and transmuting it into something better.
The Autumn Equinox on the 20th of this month is also a great time to release, just as the trees drop their leaves in preparation for the slumber of winter and the rebirth of spring. This is also a great time of balance as the daylight hours are in balance with those of the night. The Autumn Equinox marks Mabon where the harvest of summer is celebrated with feasts of gratitude and preparations made for the coming winter.
Create space and time in your world for you, beautiful soul. Practice gratitude wherever and whenever you can, what you give is returned to you threefold. Return to nature, meditate, ground and find peace where you can, then you will be more balanced when life inevitably presents you with the challenges you need to face in order to grow and to expand.
And finally, love. Love yourself, love those around you, love your life and make it as joyful a place to be in as you can, this energy will rub off on those around you and soon enough you will begin, or be joining, a loving revolution.
Much love + gratitude, Lexie.
