Hello beautiful Wild Ones...

I hope you are nourished and resting well.

Here's an end of Year, Full Moon reflection Ritual for you.

Set up your sacred space, make your Cacao, light a candle and grab your journal.

As we enter into the last part of the Year, the final stage of the caterpillar tucking herself into her cocoon for Winter.

It's time to tie up the last bits of the Year and as we enter into deep Winter and gather our intentions and dreams inward.

This last Moon cycle of the Year is when we put the final pieces in place and tuck ourselves inside, our work is done, it's time to rest now.

Here are a few journal prompts and bathing ritual for the Full Moon..

What are you proud of?

What are you grateful for?

What did your learn? What are you leaving behind?

What challenges did you face this Year?

What did I learn from them?

What were they here to teach you?

What are my dreams for 2023?

Where would I love to see myself this time next Year?

What do I need to put in place to make this happen?

What support do I need?

You are expanding into a greater version of you, just like the butterfly as she grows her wings. You have truly expanded this Year, in a deep meaningful way you have evolved.

Bathing Ritual.

Set your bathroom up in a way that is calming and relaxing for you.

Add salts, herbs, petals or oils to support your intentions.

Dim the lights, light candles, you can even use soft music if it feels right for you.

Fill a bath with water at the temperature that you most enjoy.

Before you step into the bath, ask this sacred element of water to heal and cleanse any parts of you that feel out of flow, any old beliefs or ways of being that are no longer serving you.

This may be physical, mental, or emotional.

Once your intention to the water is made, step in and soak in the bath.

Let the water soothe you; feel held and comforted by the warmth.

Be open to the flow of healing insight. You may receive a message with ways to enhance healing.

Spend some time in a reflective state in the healing water.

Just let yourself “be” and stay open to receive.

When it feels time to step out, thank the waters you have been using for her healing.

Imagine this wonderful fluid element washing away any negative feelings or thoughts that are no longer needed.

Feel the water cleansing and rejuvenating you.

As you empty the bath, watch as any negativity and old energy flows away.

Wrap yourself in a warm fluffy towel and affirm these sacred vows.

I trust in the love of my heart ~ I trust in my instincts ~ I trust in the flow of life to guide me.
