Description
Full Moon in Sagittarius 23rd May '24
This Full Moon is all about:
- Being adventurous
- Daring to do what your heart and soul is guiding you to do
- Doing what ‘feels right’ and not just because something should be done
- Basking in your hopes and dreams – bringing them to fruition
- Accepting and owning your life
- Seeing the bigger picture of where you are in your life
- Letting go of disappointments and remembering that rejection is a form of protection
"Sagittarius reminds us the world is meant to be explored. We're meant to get out there and see this planet ... Saggittarius rules not just travel, but also study and seeing the bigger picture ... Travel opens the mind, as does study and as we open our mind, we see the bigger picture of life and start to understand it better".
Guiding Principals
- Embrace: We embrace the present moment with open hearts and open minds, honoring our experiences and allowing ourselves to be fully present with whatever arises.
- Release: We release old patterns, beliefs, and emotions that no longer serve our highest good, creating space for new insights, intentions, and possibilities to emerge.
- Renew: We renew our connection to ourselves, to each other, and to the natural world, tapping into the timeless wisdom of the universe to guide us on our path of healing and self-discovery.
Your Journey Begins
As we combine the healing energies of the full moon with our own energies, your journey of healing and transformation begins. Through a blend of guided Chakra Cleansing Meditation, Breathwork/Pranayama, Forgiveness & Release Ritual, Journalling, Self-Reflection, Hypnotherapy Healing and Yoga Nidra, you will be guided to dive deep into the depths of your soul, exploring the hidden realms of your subconscious mind and unlocking the dormant power that lies within.
Together, we will honor the cycles of the moon and the cycles of our own lives, embracing the ebb and flow of change with grace and acceptance. As we journey through the sacred landscape of our inner worlds, we will uncover hidden truths, heal old wounds, and awaken to the infinite possibilities that await us on our path of self-discovery.
How It Works
- Breathwork/Pranayama: Connect with the rhythm of your breath and the natural cycles of the moon through gentle breathwork exercises. Dive deep into your inner landscape, releasing tension and inviting calmness and clarity into your being.
- Forgiveness & Release Ritual: Release old wounds and emotional baggage as you participate in a powerful forgiveness ritual. Through guided meditation and intention setting, you’ll gently let go of resentments and open your heart to healing and reconciliation.
- Journaling, Self-Reflection: Begin your exploration by delving into the depths of your inner world through reflective journaling prompts guided by the luminous light of the full moon. Allow your thoughts and emotions to flow freely onto the pages as you cultivate self-awareness and insight.
- Full Moon Hypnotherapy Healing: This transformative practice combines the power of hypnotherapy with the mystical influence of lunar cycles. Here, you are guided into a deep state of relaxation and receptivity, where you can access your subconscious minds with heightened clarity and insight. The full moon serves as a catalyst for releasing old patterns, beliefs, and emotions that no longer serve their highest good, while also amplifying intentions for healing, growth, and transformation. Through this sacred union of hypnotherapy and lunar energy, you are empowered to unlock your inner wisdom, embrace your true potential, and step into a life of greater balance, harmony, and well-being.
- Yoga Nidra: Surrender to the soothing embrace of Yoga Nidra, a guided meditation practice that induces deep relaxation and promotes inner healing. Allow the full moon’s radiant energy to envelop you as you journey through layers of consciousness, restoring balance and harmony within.
- Closing Circle: Conclude our Full Moon Healing Circle with a Closing Circle, where we come together as a community or Sangha to share our experiences, insights, and intentions for the Lunar Cycle ahead. Bask in the collective energy of love, connection, and transformation.
What are the Benefits?
