Syncing with the Moon's Cycle

Due to her proximity and role as a Grand // Mother, the Moon offers a gentle yet piercing, energetic influence that we can channel to support our intentions.

While lunar energies are transitory, we aren't strictly constrained to the timing of her cycles. You can find yourself still in sync with the energetics of her cycles but at your own aligned timing.

The two major lunar events to be aware of include New Moons and Full Moons. Both Moon phases urge us to exercise our ability to release and embrace what is needed to manifest our intentions.

Several other phases exist between these lunar events that provide energetic space to prepare and integrate in alignment with those intentions.

Here is a brief explanation of the Moon's energetic Cycle:

NEW MOONS

Waxing Phases between New and Full Moons

Guide us to take active and aligned steps toward our intentions through our projects and efforts. This part of the cycle mirrors the act of the Moon rising to reveal more of herself each night.

FULL MOONS

Waning Phases between Full and New Moons

Encourage us to slow down with gratitude as we begin closing one cycle and shifting into the next phase of our intentions in another cycle— just as the Moon slowly departs the sky to begin her cycle anew.

Tapping into the magic of creation and transformation

Channel and transmute energies to co-create experiences that align with your creative side and the themes that your soul desires to explore.

Explore and discover your preferred expression through any of the following:

• Expressive writing with journal reflections or creative prompts
• Expressive play, movement, or dance
• Expressive vocalization, singing, or music-making
• Expressive art or crafting

Cleansing and renewing one's self, space, and tools

Practice good personal hygiene, including the physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, and energetic aspects of your being.

Bring your energy centers back into alignment with the right tools and care, including:

• Heartwork — compassionately exploring One's heart space and socioemotional state
• Breathwork — consciously exhaling to detox and inhaling to enliven
• Bodywork — physically moving energy in the body through touch or static and dynamic movement
• Sonicwork — intuitively tunning into aligned frequencies, sounds, and music
• Energywork — proactively engage in clearing and calling acts to make space for inviting desired energies
  • e.g., sweating, basking, grounding, steaming, smudging, smoke cleansing, soaking, and bathing, or using a burning bowl

Understanding and exercising one' intuitive capabilities

Learn the language of the soul.

Engage your senses daily to develop spiritually and become more aware of your multi-dimensionality by:

• Finding an aligned way to honor your intuitive intelligence with daily exercises, rituals, meditations, or activities
• Praying in your own way or Ceremonially tune in to Spirit
• Connecting with healed and well-intentioned ancestors, guides, friends, living family, and mentors
