September 2024 Week 3

“People ask me what my religion is.
I tell them, my religion is kindness.”
His holiness the xiv Dalai Lama

Last week I shared pictures of the sunrise and sunset at the beach which I love, love to witness. These times of the day feel spiritual and they allow me to pause, take it in and remind myself there is something way bigger than me running the show! Tonight I went down to the beach for the moonrise, however it was too cloudy for me to catch the firefly red moon coming out of the ocean. Back at home sometime later, the super moon is shining bright - just amazing. I wanted to share a few things that happen around a full moon (think 3 days before and 3 days after).
The full moon illuminates our achievements and the obstacles we've overcome.
It's also a reminder to let go of what no longer serves us so you can start the next month refreshed.
The full moon also represents emotional and spiritual growth. - The moon is connected to all things emotional and represents the deepest parts of ourselves: our spiritual nature and subconscious mind. On a spiritual level, your intuition, creativity, and emotions are generally running hot during a full moon. The emotions that come to the surface can provide a lot of insight since they reflect what you're dealing with spiritually.
Emotions feel unusually extreme during the full moon. - Full moon energy can manifest in the body in different ways—you may feel extra creative, anxious, sensitive, or even exhausted when the moon is full. All of these feelings are normal. Try to gently remind yourself that any extreme emotions you’re experiencing will pass. The full moon is the perfect time to sit with whatever emotions come to the surface—they're a reflection of what you’re currently experiencing on a spiritual level.


This is certainly a time to be kind to ourselves and respect the energy of this full moon. Lets do a little introspection, maybe even under the full moon before bed with our intention, I Am Kindness:

Spend some time reflecting on the past month. Did you accomplish your goals, or get close? What worked and what didn’t? Which relationships lifted you up, and which ones dragged you down? Then, based on your reflections, set intentions for the coming month.
