Emotional Cleansing With The Full Moon
On and around the Harvest Moon, you may be feeling your emotions in a way that’s intensified.
One of the keys to handling this with grace and ease is to allow the emotions to flow. Don’t try to bury, stuff down, stop or cork your emotions up as they arise, and don’t judge yourself for having them or believe that “you are your emotions”.
Rather, allow the emotional storms to move through, knowing that you are not the emotion and that when you simply allow it to circulate, the storm will pass. And on the other side of that storm, there can be an opportunity for you to more fully understand yourself, to recognize that what emotions are seeking to convey something to you.
What are your emotions seeking to reveal to you?
Perhaps your emotion is attempting to show you where you’ve not been true to yourself.
Perhaps your emotion is showing you where you’re still holding on to past traumas, to past memories, or past pain that you can now choose to let go.
Realign With Your Core Truth
Astrologically speaking at the time of the Full Moon, the Sun and the Moon are in opposition. This creates an illuminating force where much can be revealed to you about who you really are, what you truly desire and where you are, or are not on track in your life.
Where you are or are not in alignment with your core truth.
Some of the themes around this are:
You may realize you’ve been following the script that another has written for your life.
You may see that you’ve been trying to do things in a way that you think others would understand respect or want you to do.
You may recognize that you’ve sort of sacrificed your inner truth, inspiration and inner intuition in order to try to fit in.
You may see that your primary motivation has been doing things in a way that maintains the status quo or makes those around you happy.
The Harvest Moon is a powerful time to reconnect with your inner most truth and light, to rediscover who you really are and how you can most vibrantly thrive in your life.
In doing your spiritual practices, meditation, reflection and contemplation, be aware that you may be able to get some insight now into:
