 How have you been feeling after the new moon lovelies? I found this one to be much nicer and gentler than the ones we’ve been experiencing. Balance was a major theme last week and it seems this theme was delivered to me in the actual physical sense. I’ve been having a hard time getting grounded; I’ve felt so loopy and I’m having a hard time concentrating and remembering anything. So, I’ve been making a concerted effort to get outside and reconnect with nature in an attempt to reconnect with myself. Sometimes we just need to feel the grass under our feet and some fresh air to feel like we have a tether to this Earth and our purpose. I also found something incredibly important as well–I found if I’m to go anywhere and do anything important in this life, I HAVE to love myself first. Maybe it’s not the craziest ah-ha moment, but it was a big one for me. I don’t know if anything I’ve ever done has been this important and felt so large a task. This new moon highlighted for me that I look too much to others for love and acceptance, and now it’s time for me to look within for this support. I know I have a lot of work ahead of me, but I think I can finally say I’m ready to look to myself for what I need. New beginnings can be overwhelming and If you find yourself in the midst of a new beginning, remember to take it one day at a time. Be gentle with yourself and with what you uncover and LOVE who you are, shadow side and all.

Go ahead and pick a card from the picture above. The cards are numbered from left to right; 1, 2, 3. The beautiful stone in the picture is spectrolite. A stone of transformation, Labradorite (also known as Spectrolite) is a useful companion through change, imparting strength and perseverance. It balances and protects the aura, raises consciousness and grounds spiritual energies. Excellent for strengthening intuition-promoting psychic abilities. Powerful in revealing the truth behind illusions, Labradorite (Spectrolite) banishes fears and insecurities, and strengthens faith in the self and trust in the Universe.  It stimulates the imagination and calms an overactive mind, developing enthusiasm and new ideas.

My hope for you this week is that you’re empowered in the presence of whatever you’re confronting, or is confronting you. I hope that you can go within and find the inner strength you didn’t think you had to accomplish what is being asked. Remember that you’re not alone on this journey, and that many others are awaiting your signal to step in and help. Be gentle, be kind, and most importantly, be compassionate.

This is your week! Make in an amazing one 🙂
