7 Steps To Reclaiming Your Joy

I have had quite a few people ask me over the last few months about Joy, Passion and where the heck it seems to have gone. Life on the outside looks really good, they aren’t struggling financially, there are wonderful people that love them, they are highly talented and all the rest – but it feels empty, grey, kinda bleak and as if something is missing. So what’s with Joy and why does it feel so elusive sometimes? Has someone drawn too heavily on the Joy bank and therefore there is none for you? NO. Let me assure you of that one. There is more than enough Joy to go around. I remember those times, Joy, Passion and Love of Life had seemed to vanish, in fact I am sure they had been flushed down the toilet. I was trapped in an abusive marriage, and when I walked away with wounds that were physical, emotional, mental and spiritual at some point I ended up taking care of a Mother who was the mirror image of my ex husband. Lucky me! But hey life happens, and we show up and we need to learn, grow, expand and I had two of the best teachers for that.

First let’s differentiate between Happiness and Joy, they are both emotions, however Happiness may be caused by luck, good fortune, or other person-centric pleasures. Joy is caused by elation at a moment in time. Joy may not always be about oneself but be about others’ contentment also.Joy is an emotion comprised of feelings of happiness, contentment, and harmony. It differs from general happiness in that it is not caused by a particular event but comes from within the individual. … Joy is a generalized feeling that comes from the person.

Well that’s all fine and good to get the ball park idea of the differences, but where the heck do I find it? I am going to say something that you may not like – Joy is an inside job. (Yes, I did say that). Seriously, Joy is not based on an externality, for example you get a new car, you don’t feel Joy, you feel happy. As you drive the car, relish and remember how you saved for what you wanted, feel the safety, revel in the heated leather seats – you start to feel Joy when you drive the car, not because of the car per se, but because of the experience. Does that make sense?

Okay, so let’s say you agree it’s an inside job. Now what? From my experience, the more you feel anything the more it becomes a default. So if you continually feel that the world is out of whack or that there is something wrong with you as you don’t feel Joy and Passion every moment of the day – guess what? That’s your default. So it is time to gently, and with massive compassion, deconstruct that default. So let’s go have a look at the 7 steps.

You Have a Choice. Make a choice to acknowledge those moments of Joy or happiness that occur. I mean seriously say – thank you, thank you, thank you. It could be a ladybug landing on your laptop keyboard, a hummingbird dive bombing you as you are too close to their nest. It could be someone giving you a beaming heart based smile as you pass them on the street. It could be finding a four leaf clover when you are outside having a cuppa tea. But if your head isn’t up, your eyes aren’t open and there isn’t a willingness to welcome and see those moments, then you won’t. I used to write notes that said Joy on them and would have them tucked everywhere, my wallet, in a pocket, in a book and I would give them to friends. A little reminder to remember to look for Joy not to expect it to come to me, but to look, say hello, welcome it in with an understanding that like a random encounter it could be gone very quickly.

The more I did this, the more I put my focus on looking for Joy, not with desperation and demand, but with a willingness to see it and invite it in for a party, or a cuppa tea.

Your Circumstances Don’t Define You. Some days are challenging, that is fact. Some people can be very unkind, absolutely twat like and it hurts. But these are transitory, honestly they are. You may be feeling confused, stuck, trapped or so overwhelmed you want to find a dark closet to hunker down in. But in the words of Marie Forleo – everything is figureoutable! What you are feeling today or what is happening today is not going to be what is happening tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now. It really isn’t. The pain slowly dulls, the arsehole leaves, you find a better job, you hang out with people who appreciate you instead of dragging you down. But note Point 1 – You have a choice. Do you remember Eeyore from the Winnie the Pooh stories? He was always gloomy, especially when he lost his tail or someone took his bow. It’s okay to be gloomy for a bit – but please don’t hand over your life, your wellbeing, your power to someone else. Don’t let anyone or anything define you for longer than 3 days. I have a pair of knickers (panties for North Americans) that are huge! They cover all the way to the boobs and they sit in a large ziploc bag in a prominent area of my office and they are called The Big Girl Emergency Knicker kit. If needed unzip the bag, place big girl panties on, pull up and crack on.

You Are Not Alone! I know some days you may think to yourself – wow, I am all alone in the world. Honey bee, you really aren’t, it may feel like that and that can be very scary, but you are not alone. Sometimes we feel alone because we feel broken, or not good enough, or that things on the outside look so good, how can I talk about the pain, emptiness I am feeling? This is where I bring in the G word or the U word, don’t get hooked on the word though. God, Goddess, Universe, Divine is there, hanging out around you all the time. But you have to open up a conversation with her. How? Just start one as if you are meeting your friend at a coffee shop, share your woes, your dreams, your trepidation, your elation. Yes, it does mean you might look like you are talking to yourself (I do it verbally as I drive, walk in the woods, sit by the water). So what? This energy loves you to pieces! Think about if you had a best friend come over and you didn’t talk to her the whole time, kinda the same thing. Talk, say things, write things, share things with others, with yourself, with the Big U or whatever you want to call it. If you haven’t read Gabby Bernsteins book “The Universe has your back”, I highly suggest you do. If you dropped your defenses and armour and opened up you would find people galore who would happily sit and listen to you and your story, with no judgement and if you listened to their stories you would find that you are so not alone.

Silence is Golden, Duct tape is Silver. You are a complex, delightful and delicious being. But when was the last time you sat with yourself and instead of focusing on the negative self-talk, you listened. You asked a question and you just listened for the answer or the silence? Meditation is fabulous for this and puleaseeeeee – if you dare to say you are too busy to meditate I will have to come give you a stern talking to! You don’t need a special cushion in a special room with the right crystals, a candle and some elevator music playing in the background. You just have to be willing to drop into your belly to breathe and allow for however long you like the thoughts to flow by and not be attached to them.

It can happen in a long grocery line, whilst you are watching your kids hockey practice, in the massive traffic jam on the M4. One minute, that’s all you need. One minute. Just breathe, imagine yourself as a strong mountain and for one minute the thoughts that cross your mind are clouds. Just puffy clouds that move with the wind in front of your face. The more you take time to listen the more you hear. See Point 3 – You are never alone, but you need to allow space for the conversation.

Go Help Someone Else. When you are feeling meh, and a sigh escapes your lips instead of a “Whoot!” Go help someone else. Why? Because it gets you out of your own head and helping, service and doing something that benefits someone else makes you feel frigging awesome. (It probably makes the other person feel pretty darn good too). This could be anything from volunteering at a non-profit who helps others, buying a sandwich (or making a sandwich) for the homeless guy. Walking your elderly neighbor’s dog. Weeding a friend’s garden as they are overwhelmed and could do with some help. Anything. Life is better when it’s not all about you……

Forgive, Release and Move On. If your head and heart are filled with old, stale resentments, hurts, sore and raw trigger points where is the space for Joy? There isn’t any. It’s like receiving a gorgeous crystal chandelier that you have always wanted and opening up a stuffed, mouse ridden closet and cramming your gorgeous chandelier in there. (Are you getting the picture?) Personally I practice forgiveness daily. Forgiveness for myself and where I messed up, or was too sharp, unkind or thoughtless with someone. Forgiveness for others who have hurt me. Forgiveness for a situation that I may or may not have created. But seriously, I used to pack that crap like a steamer trunk behind me and there was no energy to look at the wonderful things that were right before me.

Gratitude is an Attitude! Take time every day, every day (did I say every day) to be grateful. I personally do it at night after I have done my Forgiveness practice and I go BIG! I write down or speak out loud all the wonderful people, places, things, events, flowers, birds – you name it, that I am grateful for that day and WHY. It doesn’t have to be a big thing to be a BIG thing. It could be someone popped a quarter in your parking meter, a wonderful friend (who knows you eat like a horse) swung by with a raspberry cupcake iced to the hilt. It could be your kid actually picked up their stinky soxs and put them – gulp – in the laundry basket! Or it could be your dog greeted you with tail spinning exuberance and unconditional love when you got home after a long, trying day.

To me Joy is in the day to day, there are always moments that I can tap into, mainly because I ensure that I am doing something that I know will provide the playground for that. An example is nature for me, if I am feeling wibbly wobbly and disconnected and out of sorts. I pull on my boots, grab the beasts and head up either into the woods or down to the water and breathe in the green, look for the flowers, pause at patches of clover to see if I can find a 4 leaf one (and I normally find a few a month) and then I frigging celebrate these gifts. Why? Because if I don’t, I don’t tap into that Joy that floods up through my toes and rushes through my body and makes my heart expand tenfold. When I make a choice to look for it daily, the world is a far kinder, loving, welcoming place. So delicious one, go out with your head held high, your heart open and a willingness to see, experience, smell and taste the gifts that have always been there, you might not have been willing to see them.

Joy is foundational to your well being. Joy is the fibre of your soul. Joy is ever present and waiting for you to look over, wink and say welcome!

Aries New Moon and why it’s so special!

Jenny Heston · 5:48 pm ·

So we’ve talked about the New Moon and how to make New Moon wishes, right?

Okay, well we are going to shift it up a bit for this New Moon as this one is special! This is the New Moon in Aries. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac and is a very boisterous, fiery, sign, and is associated with Spring and the glorious up-rush of energy and flowers starting to pop up and look toward the sun. This is one of the most potent times of the year to think about what YOU want to manifest and create, and more importantly how you want to FEEL.

It’s also a glorious time to upgrade your dreams, wishes and goals as holy hannah honey there is a lot of energy to harness for them. This New Moon happens on Monday, March 27th at 10:57 EST, so if you live in London or Sydney (or in those vicinities) it will happen on March 28th.

So if you were a computer and needed an upgrade – what would you pick to upgrade or update? Is it where you live, your eating habits, your beliefs, your mindset, your exercise regime, relationships? What would you pick?

Remember the Einstein quote “If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.”

In other words it is time to change it up a tad. It doesn’t have to be huge, but if your dreams and goals are feeling a bit weary, unloved and you’re not paying attention to them. Then perhaps it is time to upgrade them or release them and start with a clean slate and bring some new, creative mojo into your being.

So first let’s make this really easy and comfie to harness this energy and work with it.

Take a moment and pause. If you know how to cleanse your space and your being with smudge, most certainly do it. If you can’t burn where you are a great cleanse is to dissolve some sea salt in warm water and flick it around your home, your body and your space.

Sweet, you are now cleansed. Grab 3 scraps of paper and a pencil. (Have you got them?)

If you have a candle, light it for this process, the recommendation is 3 candles, but I have to say I think that is overkill. If you can’t light a candle or ignite something, no problem – light an LED tealight or just imagine there is a candle lit for you.

On the first piece of paper write something you want to RELEASE (I know we don’t normally do this until the Full Moon). However, write something down that isn’t bringing you the joy, the fulfillment or meeting your needs or the needs of others, or that you have simply outgrown.

On the second piece of paper write how you want to FEEL. Now this is not to be paragraphs long. A simple sentence, one word or something along those lines, as we can distract ourselves with a plethora of words and it dilutes things. Do you want to feel Joyful, Healthier, Connected, Inspired, Creative, Love – how do you want to FEEL. Why feeling you ask? Because it is incredibly important. If you want to attract a healthy relationship, but you are beating yourself up or feeling less than from your past one, you might want to chose a different feeling state and dive into it with a fantabulous divebomb!

Last, but not least, what is one thing that you would truly LOVE, I mean wiggly labrador body love, ecstatically happy love, to MANIFEST for you and yours this year. Write that sucker down!

Now the fun part (I’m a closet pyromaniac), take your RELEASE paper and go somewhere safe and as you ignite it offer up the intention of blessing and releasing it out to the ethers, not to come knocking on your door again.

Done?

Now take your FEEL piece of paper, hold it between your hands and bring them up to prayer pose and FEEL it, feel that Love, that connection, that Joy, whatever it is you picked. Let it melt through your body and light up your face with a big arsed grin. Now set the intention of that feeling and burn the paper.

Last but not least, with that feeling state still whooshing through your body and tingling your nerve ends, grab your MANIFEST paper. Got it? See in your mind’s eye so frigging clearly the thing, situation, state you want to manifest – don’t gloss over this. See it! Yes? Now set the intention super clearly that this is coming to you and then burn your paper.

Now as I mentioned earlier, if you are in a place where you can’t burn then shred each piece of paper with the same intentions as if you were burning them. Shred them as much as possible and then if your lou allows – flush em, or pop them in the garbage (no this is not a time to recycle).

Well done you! You have just tapped into the glorious Aries New Moon energy and it took a whole 15 minutes max. Remember to hold onto that feeling state and daily bring into your mind your Manifest picture. This is a gorgeous fiery, fresh start energy so do please make the most of it. Set your intentions, plant your seeds and do some upgrading.

I love Spring Equinox!

Jenny Heston · 3:17 pm ·

I love Spring Equinox! After a long (this one especially) winter, the idea, the knowing and the full Trust that Spring is going to come is amazing. To me it is about NEW. New plants, new ideas, new ways of moving in the world and releasing the blaugh. So in celebration I planted up over 144 plants yesterday (from seed), my house is clean and smudged and on the actual equinox there will be a glorious fire roaring and a welcoming in of new energy.

Spring Equinox is the second of the four “sky points” in the Wheel of the Year, and it is when the sun does a perfect balancing act in the heavens. In other words, the sun rises exactly in the East, travels through the sky for 12 hours and sets exactly in the West. Thus, all over the world, day and night are of equal length.

As I mentioned this is such a glorious time of renewal, rejuvenation and rebirth. For example spring cleaning is not just about your home, it’s about removing old or negative energies accumulated over the dark winter months to prepare you for glorious growth. It’s about planting seeds of intention, seeds of growth, seeds of food – it’s about shedding that heavy winter coat and picking up something a tad lighter and a bit more fun.

If we were to look through multiple cultures Spring Equinox has and is a glorious time of welcoming in the light, celebrating the rebirth or creation of new things, planting seeds and releasing the old, worn and tired.

For example, there is the story of the Roman god Mithras, which is similar to the tale of Jesus Christ and his resurrection. “ Born at the winter solstice and resurrected in the spring, Mithras helped his followers ascend to the realm of light after death. In one legend, Mithras, who was popular amongst members of the Roman military, was ordered by the Sun to sacrifice a white bull. He reluctantly obeyed, but at the moment when his knife entered the creature’s body, a miracle took place. The bull turned into the moon, and Mithras’ cloak became the night sky. Where the bull’s blood fell flowers grew, and stalks of grain sprouted from its tail.”

In the Mayan culture, at Chichen Itza, spring equinox is most certainly celebrated (I have been there for this, very cool!) It’s called – The Snake of Sunlight “A famous ancient equinox celebration was the Mayan sacrificial ritual by the main pyramid at Chichen Itza, Mexico. The pyramid, known as El Castillo, has 4 staircases running from the top to the bottom of the pyramid’s faces, notorious for the bloody human sacrifices that used to take place here. The staircases are built at a carefully calculated angle which makes it look like an enormous snake of sunlight slithers down the stairs on the day of the equinox.”

Last but not least let’s look at the Iranian New Year, which is called No-Rooz, and happens at exactly the same time. Again, spring cleaning occurs and an altar is set up “Iranians consider No-Rooz as their biggest celebration of the year, before the new year, they start cleaning their houses (Khaane Tekaani), and they buy new clothes. But a major part of New Year rituals is setting the “Haft Seen” with seven specific items. In ancient times each of the items corresponded to one of the seven creations and the seven holy immortals protecting them. Today they are changed and modified but some have kept their symbolism. All the seven items start with the letter “S”; this was not the order in ancient times. These seven things usually are: Seeb (apple), Sabze (green grass), Serke (vinager), Samanoo (a meal made out of wheat), Senjed (a special kind of berry), Sekke (coin), and Seer (garlic). Sometimes instead of Serke they put Somagh (sumak, an Iranian spice). Zoroastrians today do not have the seven “S”s but they have the ritual of growing seven seeds as a reminder that this is the seventh feast of creation, while their sprouting into new growth symbolized resurrection and eternal life to come. “

So in my world, no matter where you are on this planet – equinox time is about balance & harmony. Also, celebration! So whether you just take a moment to say thanks, or you buy yourself some spring flowers, plant some seeds, light a fire, have friends over for a celebration, it doesn’t matter.

But I do invite you to do something, even if it is just writing with a Sharpie on an egg!

So how are you going to celebrate?

3 Simple Steps to Harnessing the Power of the Full Moon.

Jenny Heston · 3:13 pm ·

Whoot, whoot, it’s Full Moon! This Full Moon is also known as the Crow Moon. Now if you feel inclined you are more than welcome to dance naked under the moon as I have seen in some movies, (but it’s a tad chilly here for that), so let’s explore different ways to celebrate the Full Moon.

As a kid, I used to look up at what I perceived as a delicious, benevolent face that would glow down at me and I would wonder what she was thinking, and if she could see me. (The joys of being 6). Now I have different thoughts, albeit they are most certainly sprinkled with magic dust when it comes to moon times.

Two weeks ago we had the glorious New Moon with a solar eclipse and today (Sunday, March 13th) we have a Full Moon with a lunar eclipse! This is also a Full Moon in Virgo, so there is some of that energy at play.

So what does Full Moon mean? Well if you think about it the Full Moon represents a culmination of energy, we have watched the moon wax and wane and now she is in her full glory. So this is a perfect time to deal with the stuff we haven’t dealt with. It’s all about letting go, letting go of any resentments, hurts, angers, habits that don’t serve you, thoughts that tweak you. Toxic relationships, toxic thoughts. All about the Release baby!

The question I often hear is – How do I do that? Aaaahhhh, grasshopper, walk with me a while and you will learn the way of the quiet Ninja………..

There are 3 simple steps to harnessing the effects of Full Moon releasing – you ready?

First, here I drop the F bomb on you, so if you find it offensive cover your ears, if you’re willing to explore stick with me.

FORGIVENESS. (You thought I was going to say Fuck didn’t you?) Forgiveness is key. Now I know you might be rolling your eyes right now and saying to yourself “I am a calm benevolent spirit and of course I forgive.” Well, I am going to say hmmm, possible bullshit. We all want to be perceived as forgiving, loving, kind, aware people, but forgiveness is a tricky one for a lot of us – it’s as if we feel that to forgive someone, or a situation, we are condoning it – which we aren’t. If you want to read more about Forgiveness and how an easy daily practice can have a huge impact on you, your life, your well being and your profit margin, hop on over and read How Do You Feel About the F-Word?

So back to the Full Moon practice.

Step One – Forgive. Take 10 minutes and write, put pen to paper and write down anyone who you perceive has hurt you, any negative emotions, disappointments, upsets or any situation that didn’t turn out like you hoped it would, anything you have said or done that leaves that niggly feeling of “Bugger and balderdash, I messed up there.” Write it all down, the good, the bad and the ugly. Then we get to the fun part!

Step Two – Burn It! If you feel comfie read it outloud, if not, just read it through one more time. Then (in a safe way) either outdoors, over a sink, a loo, burn it. Release, release, release, send it out to the heavens, the moon, the ether or wherever you want to. Just don’t hold onto it. After it has turned to ash and dust I personally say to myself and the moon:-

I forgive all hurt, anger and resentment from my past and present, both self inflicted and by others. I forgive anything that prevents me from receiving all that I desire and require to live the life I dream of and serve at my highest level. I cut these cords and ties and send them back to whence they came and I welcome my own energy back, healthy, cleaned and transferred. So Be It.

Step Three – Gratitude. Now why Gratitude you may ask? We have all heard how important it is to practice gratitude and if you don’t have a daily practice, I highly encourage you to implement one. In this case, as part of the Full Moon ritual, you have just released a lot of “stuff” and energy (that probably wasn’t yours) and ties to holding onto crap, so there is now a delicious, fresh clean void. What better way to fill that void than with Gratitude! Gratitude raises the vibration and helps you see clearly all the magical, wonderful things/people that are in your in life.

So take a few moments and think of at least 3 people that you are grateful for in your life. Write them down and really feel the feeling of gratitude (I think of it like a gorgeous warm blanket that makes me feel relaxed, strong and blessed). Write down a list of what you are grateful for, it doesn’t have to be huge. Are your feet warm? Did you have a nice meal today? Are your children healthy? Does your dog greet you when you come home? Did something scrumdelicious happen to you? Just pour it all out and if writing’s not your thing, say it out loud, but not like you’re reciting a paragraph from a text book. Put some feeling behind it.

Voila, your done! That’s it. It’s not rocket science, but it is exceptionally important. Think about it this way, you planted delicious seeds at the New Moon, now you are just moving the rocks, possible deadwood out of the way with this practice so that your seeds have room to grow.

Now if you want to get particular and earn possible credits or a gold star. When writing your forgiveness you can work with the energy of where the Full Moon is. So for example, this Full Moon is in Virgo and if you have ever looked at a Facebook post that does a quick and dirty description of the astrological signs you will have heard that Virgo can be rather critical, judgemental, a tad of a perfectionist etc. So ask yourself – how have I been critical of someone else, or how did I feel criticised. Does that make sense?

Enjoy. Celebrate the Release and then celebrate all the things to be Grateful for. Happy Full Moon.

10 steps to making kick arse New Moon wishes.

Jenny Heston · 5:14 pm ·

Yes, I do celebrate the New Moon, the Full Moon, every Equinox and both Solstice times (I think there is a hidden Pagan inside of me). Why? Because it makes sense to me. It is the celebration of our cycles, life, death, rebirth, a celebration of seasons and quite frankly I frigging love to celebrate most things! In my world life is a glorious, joyful adventure and the more reasons to celebrate and share thoughts, feelings, laughter and glorious food – the better.

One of the questions I often receive is “When and how do I make New Moon wishes and how do I know that I’m doing them correctly?” It’s really very easy and glorious fun. First and foremost, you make the wishes/intentions/commitments at – guess what – the New Moon. No it doesn’t have to be the exact moment and it doesn’t have to actually be that very day (although that is preferable), but if you are uber busy and remember the day after the New Moon, all good.

In fact, in my world, you can make your wishes up to about 48 hours after the original time, just don’t try and jump the gun and do them before hand.

Personally, I like to write them by hand as I spend a lot of time on my laptop writing so to stop, pull out my journal, find the pen that I love to write with (I am very picky about my pens, in fact I am a pen snob), curl up in a chair with a hot cup of tea and write, this is very Zen to me and I am far more present and focused.

Ahhh, now we get to one of the key (note that word please) key pieces – being present, focused and having intent. If your idea of writing your wishes is to quickly scribble them down on a scrap of paper whilst cooking dinner, helping a kid with their algebra and grabbing the cat to throw outside as it’s making that gross hairball coughing sound, you might want to make a little bit of space for yourself and your desires and intentions.

Also, if you are making wishes to “change or alter” someone else. You need to stop that now. The wishes are for you, the manifesting is for you and it’s really important that you recognise that. So for example, you can’t turn the arsehole you are sorta dating into a glorious Prince Charming, unless that is what he wants for himself. If you are in an abusive, toxic relationship – you can’t manifest that the other person will change, but you can manifest that you have the courage to leave. Does this make sense so far?

So here is my 10 step down and dirty list for making New Moon wishes.

1. Get a nice journal, writing book, cool pad of paper and a pen that you love to write with.
2. Give yourself a little window of space and feel gratitude for all that is fantabulous, fun, yummy and delicious in your life already and really drop into that space.
3. Then start thinking of 10 wishes or intentions for the next month that you would like to manifest. Now here is the key – get to the feeling piece of it. So for example, if your wish is for a huge flat screen TV. Why? Is it coming out of an envy or comparison (in other words your best friend has one and you just want one?) Or is it coming from a feeling of – Gosh, it would be amazing to have a big TV and curl up with my kiddos on a Friday night, make popcorn and have a connected, fun movie night with them. Do you see the difference? So do please get clear on how you want, what you want, to FEEL!
4. I tend to write mine out in present tense and most of the time with the words I AM at the front of the intention. So if I have been dealing with some health issues and energy has been low and I would like it to be different, I would write – I AM healthy and vibrant in my body. My body is strong, radiant, filled with energy and bug/virus free.
5. Now write or draw your 10 wishes (yes, there are only 10 – which is actually a lot).
6. Instead of closing the book and going back to busyness. Take a moment and visualise and see each wish/intention as here and now. How does it look? How does it feel? Does it feel scrumptious?
7. Then decide what YOU are willing to commit to each of these wishes. So for example, if your wish is to meet the partner of your dreams, what are you going to do to help? Join a social club, join an online dating site? You have to put some umph and action into your desires, it doesn’t have to be big, but it does have to be something. So if you want to lose 10 lbs, perhaps your commitment is to eat healthy snacks and stretch instead of sitting on the sofa every night and eating 2 bags of Doritos.
8. I tend to then take a few moments and just sit with my wishes/intentions and meditate on them. It doesn’t have to be long, but I do feel it is important to sit with them and release them out to the ether. As Abraham Hicks says, rockets of desire. So if you can spend 2 minutes purely focused on your wishes – holy hannah, you are creating a gorgeous set of fireworks for the Universe to work with.
9. Release the attachment to the outcome! You have pondered them, you have written (or drawn) them, you have visualised them, you have spent a few moments in meditation now get out of your own way. You may think you know the way they HAVE to come to you, but sometimes they can come in a better way. So I tend to say outloud – With grace and ease for my highest good and the highest good of all concerned, I release these.
10. At this point you can burn them if you want. I personally don’t as I love going back over them and seeing all the glorious ones that have come true. It is entirely up to you. However, I will say, if you are burning them – do it safely!

So there we have it. Is the New Moon a powerful manifestation time, most certainly. Does every New Moon have different energy with it, yes. Play with it, have fun. I invite you to try this for the next 4 new moons and see what happens.

Wishing you a glorious partial solar eclipse New Moon in Capricorn and remember that New Moon Eclipse wishes have a more potent energy (just saying).

Release Anxiety And Claim Your Power
