Aquarius New Moon Intention Setting.

Aquarius New Moon Intention Setting Mood.

Tonight the moon is in Aquarius. The Water Carrier. I posted this image of a rain cloud I took today on the way home…Appropriate.

Today you may feel like you aren’t really in the mood for getting too emotional. In fact, you may be feeling the need for a nice and deep intellectual conversation. Or maybe even snuggling down to read a book. Today may just be about the brain…logic. Maybe you have recently been emotional…but today, take that break from emotions. Let the rain fall like nature intended and just decide to think clearly. Let reality and logic show you things. Things you may have been afraid to open your eyes to. Today use your brain…and give your heart a rest.

Meditating seems like a good way to just be. Even reading a really good book. For now, just let things be…set emotions aside…and make an intention for yourself that is going to open your life to the infinite possibilities. Because they are infinite.

Love & Moonlight,

Shake Yo Booty: Self-Help for the Moody

2 Comments

  
Moody. Been there…been that. We all have. Here are some self-help tips to shake those moody moods away.

1. Why be moody when you can shake yo booty. Ha. The greatest thing I’ve heard all day! Found this gem on Pinterest. Made me think. I normally have two/three go to tricks to getting out of a bad mood (see number two, three, and four below)…but THIS one, OH MAN has made the list! What better way than to just drop the mood and drop it low. Literally stop what you are doing and shake that ass. Anywhere. At the grocery store. At work. At home. Just stop and think…this mood sucks, let’s dance. I guarantee it’ll put a smile on your face.

2. All you need is love. This is what I first began using when my oldest daughter was really little. I found myself getting frustrated, short tempered (at myself), and irritated. I would get so frustrated with myself that it would put me in a bad mood and my daughter and I could feel it. I always told her…whenever you see me acting out in a bad mood, REMIND ME and say to me, “All you need is love” and I’ll stop. It was like a reality check for me. And it worked. And still does. Plus it makes me smile.

3. Blowing wind to the moon. This one was really really effective on my youngest daughter when she would have crying fits or when she would get frustrated. I would tell her to blow it out…to blow wind to the moon. To let it go. I would even breathe with her or blow her hair out of her face to calm her. And it got her taking deep breaths and blowing out her frustration. And it worked. It calms you down when you take a deep breath with a releasing blow or sigh. Breathing is essential to meditation also! See what I’m getting at! 

4. Brushing that grumpy monster off your shoulder. Literally. This one I learned from two dear co-workers (a mom and daughter duo). Whenever the daughter would get in a grumpy mood when she was little her mama would tell her to brush off that grumpy monster and stomp on it. Literally do the motions of brushing off that grump and stomp your feet on it. The act of imaging this grumpy mood as a grumpy monster sitting on your shoulder and then utilizing YOUR power to change your mood by motioning to brush him off and then stomping on him IS POWERFUL. And funny. It makes you laugh and you give yourself that reality check that the bad mood you had, isn’t really needed. I tell my two girls AND husband to do this any time we get in a mood. Seriously. There have been times where we will be driving down the road and I’ll roll the window down and we will throw that grumpy monster out the window. It works!

5. Meditate. This in itself is a calming stress reliever. See this post for more tips on meditating and other ideas.

I’m open to hearing or discovering other tips to curing a bad mood! Shoot me a comment or even message me!

P.S. A NEW MOON is coming this Monday February 8th!!! It’ll be in Aquarius! 

Full Moon in Leo tonight.. Ganesha Mudra Yoga Meditation for the Full Moon.

1 Comment

Tonight there will be a Full Moon in Leo.

I felt this one coming. I felt the intense build up to this point. Lately I’ve been making peace. Finding grace. Giving grace. I’ve felt a shift in the people around me, felt the shift within me. Practiced silence. Fell in love with the word considerate. Felt my body, mind, and soul plant firmly into the ground. Became grounded.

Fell in love with Ganesha. Practiced Jivamukti. Felt a connection.

Tonight…with the FULL MOON in Leo…think back to your new moon intention. Here was mine. Looking back I have really honored myself. I have felt a great shift in myself. I’ve been practicing yoga more, being mindful of those around me, staying open, giving grace. GIVING GRACE has been my greatest accomplishment thus far this year.

Leo may send you some extra playfulness and creativity your way. Use that to your advantage. If you are feeling super inspired to CREATE and be CREATIVE…make it a FULL MOON ritual. Block off time for yourself…at least 30 minutes to do a ritual FOR YOURSELF. Here are a few examples:

  1. Meditate. Believe it or not…this will set you free. It is proven to reduce stress. Above is a video of a morning yoga meditation I did last Sunday. For my meditation I performed a Ganesha Mudra. Ganesha is a Hindu God…a deity. Best known as the remover of obstacles. He is depicted with an elephant head. A Mudra is a hand gesture that seals or marks an intention…the Ganesha Mudra is practiced to remove obstacles from your path…be it something as simple as removing an unwanted feeling that is holding you down. Let go of those feelings that pin you down. Remove them from your life and set yourself free. Move yourself.
  2. Start a diary. This is another proven way to reduce stress. It is also fun to reflect on paper and then look back at it. Given that MERCURY IS STILL IN RETROGRADE until Monday…now is truly a time to just reflect. No big decisions need to be made. Just jot down how you feel. Write your life. It is yours.
  3. Burning ritual. My ALL TIME favorite. Tonight if you feel like you need to let go of some feelings…write them on a piece of paper and burn them. Remember…Mercury is still in retrograde…so just release some feelings that have built up…burn them and feel relief. No big decisions need to be made…just reflect. (Be safe…if you don’t know how to work with a safe fire…don’t try this.)

 

That is it I suppose…I plan on meditating and doing a burning ritual tonight!!

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

First Quarter Moon 

4 Comments

   
For this first quarter moon phase…I’m just honoring my body, mind, and soul. 

Usually I talk about the zodiac sign that the moon is in during my moon posts…BTW it is in Taurus… But tonight, I’m just going to talk…about what is inside me…a little diary piece.

Yoga is changing my life…mentally, physically, deeply. Every day I find progress in my emotions, my physicality, my soul. I’m learning how to let go of pain…how to find peace within it. 

I don’t cry anymore. I’ve learned to just be. I flow. I flow. I flow. 

I’m working on balance…On the mat…and in my heart. 

I don’t cry anymore. I’ve learned to just be.  I flow. I flow. I flow. 

Silent. Considerate. Grounded. 

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

New Moon, New Year..Capricorn Hi!

1 Comment

  
New Moon in Capricorn. The first new moon of the year…

Setting the intention to embrace transformation this year…to find comfort in my own skin…to find happiness in darkness…to find darkness in the light…to be Yin…to be Yang…to be whole.

Capricorn moons always seem to be my favorite…maybe it’s because I’m a Capricorn moon…maybe it’s because it’s a working moon…a goal oriented time to make things happen..

Here is a symbol of the dragonfly…my spirit animal…my reminder of transformation…a reminder that I’m transforming every day into the woman I’m meant to be…with Gods grace, I shall be.

Last Quarter Moon in Libra.

Leave a comment

Gratitude is the key word for a last quarter moon phase… Feel Gratitude. 

Love the skin you are in. Feel gratitude.

Invoke an open mind, open heart. Feel gratitude.

Be still and give grace. Feel gratitude.

Revive your divine light, divine soul. Feel gratitude.

Accept what is (the good, the bad, the light, the dark) and feel gratitude.

Balance yourself tonight. And feel gratitude. Yin. Yang. Yin. Yang.

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

Baddha Konasana & Motherhood

Baddha Konasana everywhere. Anywhere. 

This will be brief…

I am not interested in resolutions this year. Rather, I’m interested in making the NOW more meaningful… in slowing down… taking it in… And awakening my divine feminine… 

I am no longer interested in living in the past… Or longing for the future… 

I am interested in right now…

And right now…I’m sitting in the Baddha Konasana position with my littlest daughter snugged up on my feet while she is fast asleep… I’m interested in being at her side while she doesn’t feel good. Because that is what moms do…

Pray over your children.. Meditate over your children… Love your children. 

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly
