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,

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.

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

  
Always by their side. 

Winter Solstice.

Yours truly in my grandparents pecan grove. They started with 19 pecan trees and over the past 43 years had to cut a bunch down from storms and damages. They have six left but their neighborhood is still abundant with pecan trees. They also have a few fruit trees and blueberry bushes. Roses and other garden delights. Winter time has slumbered them for the time being.

  

Grandpa. Crossword puzzles. His Red Silverado. Standing in his pecan grove.

  

Grandma. Picking her roses. Trimming their thorns. And spotted little garden friends.

 

Spent my Winter Solstice with my Grandparents in Putney, Georgia.

The first day of Winter…the shortest day of the year. With Earth soundly sleeping there is promise of light coming near.

Love & Moonlight,

Kelly

PS. Stay tuned for a Winter Solstice activity tomorrow! Good night moon!

Iris (Hold Me Close) by U2

The star
That gives us light
Has been gone a while
But it’s not an illusion
The ache
In my heart
Is so much a part of who I am
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get here
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years, a thousand years

Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go
Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I’ve got your life inside of me

Iris… Iris…

Once we are born, we begin to forget
The very reason we came
But you
I’m sure I’ve met
Long before the night the stars went out
We’re meeting up again

Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go
Hold me close like I’m someone that you might know
Hold me close the darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I’ve got your life inside of me

Iris… Iris…

The stars are bright but do they know
The universe is beautiful but cold

You took me by the hand
I thought that I was leading you
But it was you made me your man
Machine
I dream
Where you are
Iris standing in the hall
She tells me I can do it all
Iris wakes to my nightmares
Don’t fear the world it isn’t there

Iris playing on the strand
She buries the boy beneath the sand
Iris says that I will be the death of her
It was not me

Iris… Iris…

Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourself
Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see…

 

When a song hits you JUST RIGHT…

Eats. First Quarter Moon in Aires.

Mmm. I find it like clockwork that I feel the need to post on days when the moon shifts into the next big phase. Not by purpose…but by instinct.

Tonight the moon shifts into the first quarter moon phase…and it just so happens to be in Aires tonight! I’m feeling on fire with my intention!!! Ha…you Aires! Speaking of reflecting back to my intention (as the first quarter moon calls for you to do), I feel like today I’ve really set the tone with doing me…last night I went to a Mary Kay facial seminar thing that I won…had a makeover and tried some really lovely face products….me below glowing after the Mary Kay Facial Party!

  
I purchased some things from a friend and felt very…very…and I mean VERY feminine! And good. Good to the bone. 

Took the initiative to take care of my skin…and then today on a whim…bought some good to the bone food! (First picture). 

Typically, when I get the urge to buy fruits and vegetables, I’ll neglect them in the fridge until they rot before my eyes…but today….mmm, was more than just your typical urge…today was a spontaneous and yet very Aires urge…of buying fruits and vegetables that I followed through with and actually ate! 

Not to mention my youngest was thrilled beyond her years to eat what I served for dinner!

Whole Foods lemon pepper rotisserie chicken (which is unbeatable with a price of $6.99 for a whole chicken already cooked…any of their rotisserie chickens are really yummy), organic carrots (which were on sale), lady of the moon organic tomatoes (had to buy because it was from Lady Moon Farms…hello moon), ranch dip made with sour cream and hidden valley ranch powder, kimchi, blueberries, and Pinot noir in my Virgo cup!. Felt very spontaneous and healthy today! Because everyone who knows me…knows I love to eat candy..most of the time…and I truly eat whatever I feel like…Ha! (No strict diet here!) So tonight was very….health minded! Felt very good!

Thinking back to my very feminine new moon intention …I’m doing me! And tonight I honored my body with some good food! 

Reflect back to your new moon intention…and find your next step!

Love & Moonlight, 

Kelly
