If you’ve noticed, we have been experiencing many unique cosmic events this year. To those that practice spirituality and understand their significance, this is an exciting time to be alive. Just last month on 8/8, there was a powerful Lion’s Gate Portal that provided enhanced manifestation powers. When there are changes cosmically, we too are affected, since we are inextricably linked to the natural world.

An example of this connection is in thinking about the woman’s 28 day menstrual cycle that typically mimics the 28 day cycle of the moon. It is also common knowledge that the tides in oceans change according to the moon phases. If the moon has this much power and influence, imagine what it can do when we work with it intentionally.

We can harness the power of the moon and the cosmos in a way that supports us by tapping into the potency of the universe during that time. All ancient civilizations paid homage to and worshipped Mother Nature. The Egyptians; one of the oldest societies, worshipped the sun, Amen Ra. Unbeknownst to many, this is the origin of why we say ‘amen’ following prayer. Since the advent of religions and therefore indoctrination, we have lost our connection and understanding with Mother Nature, including the cosmos.

One way we can reclaim that is to observe and participate in sacred rituals during the new and full moon which both occur monthly. During the new moon, we are encouraged to focus on setting intentions for the future and new beginnings. On the full moon we are encouraged to release that which no longer serves us, including people, places, habits, thoughts and states of being. Isn’t it amazing that Mother Nature provides built in energy and power for cleansing, releasing and calling in what we want in our lives? See below for ways you can utilize the power of the moon to improve your life:

• New Moon: new beginnings, setting intentions

• Good time for journaling about what new habits you would like to implement in your life (see below for prompts)
• Create a vision board for the next few months
• Cleanse and declutter your home
• Start new projects
• Create a new daily routine
• Connect with your body
• Get grounded
• Full Moon: culmination, release, celebration

• Release what no longer serves you 
• Make moon water by setting glass of water outside under the moonlight and later using in spiritual practices
• Celebrate your achievements
• Charge your spiritual tools under the moonlight
• Take a spiritual bath
