In today's episode, I go over a few different techniques to help you banish negative thoughts from your head once and for all. You can find meditations on the Mindful Luna Podcast and Tanner Knight’s Music anywhere you listen to music. 

The following technique is taken from Alison's Book, and it's called "Banishing the Voices". All you have to do is take a few deep breaths and write down on a sheet of paper all the negative words that come to your mind when you approach your closet or search for an outfit. Once you have completed the exercise, you can dispose of the sheet in any way you prefer. I highly recommend trying this same exercise in any area of your life where you feel stuck. 

Victor’s book offers us even more techniques to help stop negative thought patterns. Here are some of the techniques I discuss: 

• Make your thoughts into a rhyme 

• Make a song with the contents of your thoughts

• Think backwards 

• Recite a prayer 

• Go over the multiplication tables

This is The Lonely Girl Lifestyle's last episode. It is inspired by the Spider as a spirit animal and the art of Dream Weaving. In this episode, I go over all the wisdom of dream weaving, a spiderweb drawing exercise and I finish with a Yoga Nidra. The Yoga Nidra meditation is 30 minutes long and will be uploaded to The Mindful Luna Podcast as a standalone meditation.

This moon brings with it stillness, silence, and solitude. With this moon’s wisdom on our side, we can learn to flow with the world's natural cycles and better adapt to the circumstances around us. The Snow Moon is associated with the bear because bear cubs are usually born during this cycle. The bear teaches us the importance of listening to our body so we can rest when we need to relax and replenish our own cup. The bear also teaches us to protect our loved ones and to set firm boundaries by standing our ground. The Rowan tree is known for its hardiness and beauty.  Journaling Questions How do you feel about the cold / snow? Are you comfortable in silence, solitude, and stillness? What do you think about boundaries? The Mindful Luna Podcast. Knight & Moon Podcast.

This episode is to help us map out our spiritual garden, get to know every aspect of our being, and how we can help each aspect of ourselves grow to its fullest potential. It is important to get to know each layer/aspect of the self so we know how to help ourselves when we are off balance. Knowing each element deeply will also help us set intentions that are best aligned with truth. Here are my plants they are the five subtle layers of the body also known as the Koshas which are: physical, energy, Emotional, wisdom, and bliss. Check out my Kosha/Spiritual Garden Meditation here.   Listen to the latest episode of Knight and Moon here. Kosha means: Layer or Sheath

Maya means illusion or that which cannot be described.

To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.

I have created a year-end review to help you reminisce about the past year. I will review every full moon of 2022 with you and share my joys and lessons. If you are interested in learning more about setting up an altar check out my Dia de Los Muertos episode. If you are looking for meditation check out my other Podcast The Mindful Luna. All Music by Tanner Knight.  

In this episode, I go over November's full Moon and the gifts it brings for us. The Full Moon in Taurus is here to help us learn to forgive and enjoy and be grateful from the heart.  Keep in touch 

Past  1st q Moon Aquarius 11/1/22 Oracle Messages: Trust the Universe Interpretation: Allow Take a look at the past 1st Q moon in Aquarius. We are guided to trust the universe, to take a break, and allow things to happen as they will. There is no need to control or try to make anything happen, just sit back and receive the abundance that is bestowed upon you. Just allow things to be. 

Present  Full Moon in Taurus 11/8/22 Oracle Messages:  Detox // Dreams need a practical plan Interpretation: Forgiveness It is much easier to be grateful when we forgive others and ourselves. Sometimes we think that forgiving others can mean that justifies the person who might have acted in an unacceptable way. But that's not the case, think of forgiving someone as letting them go free of entanglements this also frees us. Relationships shouldn't be tangley, they should flow easily. Letting go by forgiving allows us space to breathe without having negative feelings and thoughts take up that space.

Future 3rd Q Moon Leo 11/16/22 Oracle Messages: Lighten Up Interpretation: enjoy the now and be grateful I’m grateful that I can access a meditative state by repeating a few words in my head but not just any words. In the Book The Mantram Handbook Eknath Easwaran, he explains that cultures have been chanting the name of “The Creator” for ages. I started by chanting Ram the God name he suggests because it’s a Mantram that is proven to be helpful to many people. If you want to learn more about chanting I’ll link his book in my show notes.

Self Care // Weaving the Moon into my life

This full moon is teaching us all about being grateful but also forgiving and many times those two things go hand and hand.

Journaling about the past, present, and future can help us see our lives differently.

Here are some great questions to explore/journal about:

Forgive: Make a list of people who have hurt you, or upset you. Start from your childhood and make your way up. Write a little about each situation Once you're done take a moment to close your eyes and feel any emotions that come up. At the end of your list and journaling write the following:   I wish to see things a different way and sign it. This will allow spirit to help you because you are willing to see things differently.

Gratitude: Make a list of things, people, or situations you are grateful for. Start from your childhood and make your way up. Write a little about each situation Once you're done take a moment to close your eyes and feel any emotions that come up for you. At the end of your list and journaling write the following:

I am grateful for all the love, abundance, and joy in my life.

I’m present with my gratitude in life.

In today's episode, I thought I'd do a past present, and future moon message today. To review what we have learned but also to get caught up because I seem to be one moon phase behind. In the past we have had the full moon, in the present we have 3QMoon, and in the future, we move through the Balsamic moon phase to prepare for the upcoming New Moon.  I'm using the Moonology cards.

Moonology Manifestation Cards

The Oracle message is: Release your blocks

This moon invites you to look at what you are afraid or worried about. To shine the moonlight on your dark side. What lingers hiding in the darkness?

Why look in the darkness you ask? Well because facing our fears and worries will help us release the blocks that hold us back.

1st Q Half Dark / Half Light

The Sun is in Leo

The Moon is in Scorpio

You stand perfectly balanced in-between, with the whole picture in front of you the good and bad, the dark and light. Challenge yourself to see the whole picture in every situation. Every person, every situation, everything whole.

With Scorpio on your side, you can be sure that you have a fierce warrior to help you explore your darkness.

Conscious Spirit Oracle Deck

Oracle Message # 23 Be Present

Message: I fully experience every moment of my life by living in the present.

To be present is to live in harmony with everyone around you and everything that is happening around you. Compassionately connect with others no matter how different they might be from you. For example a bug, rodent, tree, a person you dislike, etc. Connect in the present and unguarded.

Fairy Tarot - Radleigh Valentine

Tarot Message #18 The Moon

I loved pulling this card because it encompasses everything I just talked about

here is the message on the card.

Powerful intuitive epiphanies

Letting go of fear and worry.

Understanding the truth of the situation

It's almost like a full recap of the first card where it guided us to let go of fear and worry by looking in the darkness and seeing the whole picture.

Another good thing this card brings up is that sometimes the full understanding comes in the form of dreams. A beautiful connection to yogic sleep AKA Yoga Nidra. Epiphanies happen in the dream realm but also become common in waking life when you visit the dream realm regularly.

Next Moons

Full Moon:  8/11

3QM: 8/19

New Moon: 8/27

My Rituals for this 1st Q Moon

Face yoga/rose quartz rolling, Bath or Shower, Moon Gazing, Oil Skin, Sex (if the situation is right for you).

My intention last phase:

Was to keep moving forward with this podcast. Here I am keeping up with it even though it's a few days late from the 1st Q moon I still did it. So My intention for this phase is to embrace the mess whenever life gets messy.

The Moon enters Leo today. This is a wonderful opportunity to start something or pick up something you forgot long ago. The soil is fertile, the time is now!

In this episode, I talk about my struggle with knowing how to enjoy life and how a plant’s life inspired me to see the good and the bad within the cycle of life. Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based meditation designed to help you manage stress, addiction, habits, trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety. The Amrit Yoga Nidra method focuses on relaxing the body and allowing the natural healing energy of the body to flow and heal the body, mind, and soul. I had my yoga Nidra training at the Amrit Yoga Institute. Check out my other podcasts The Lonely Girl Lifestyle and Knight and Moon.
