This full moon ( Saturday 24th February) is guiding us into March,
it feels that February has gone with a blink of an eye.
The full moon is all about release and realignment. A lot can be exposed during the full moon, it can be high energy but not always easy. We may navigate big emotions as things that we can no longer ignore bubble to the surface.
As I shared with you last week, I have been on (what feels like) a new level of ‘my journey’ since last September. What I love about spiritual work is the more you commit to it, the more it supports you and allows you to expand even further.
I started my Kundalini yoga teacher training, firstly because I love it, secondly, because I want to share it. But the thing I have learnt most over the last few years of really leaning into my spiritual practices and development, is that the real impact comes from when we embody it fully ourselves.
Like most of us I am sure, I have so many books on spiritual topics but if I just read them and put them back on the shelf without implementing, it’s just knowledge on a superficial level. Just because I know something doesn’t mean it will change my life. It’s the commitment to the work, the knowing then taking action on the knowledge that changes our lives. It is the embodying it that will change your world.
I only share what I have embodied into my own life. Now this doesn’t mean I am an expert, we are all, ALWAYS learning. And there is always still more work to do and more to learn. But this is how I live, the practices I share are part of me. I use them and I trust them. Since September I have been embodying Kundalini, not just as a participant but as a teacher and unsurprisingly the most incredible transformation has occurred within me. Kundalini is an energetic practice, it works on the glandular system and major organs. It attunes you body, mind and soul, it aligns the chakras. What I have found is the more practice that I have done, the more layers have been peeled back…layers I didn’t even know were there.
Like sediment in a pond, layers of old silt have been stirred up enabling them to be washed away.
It’s also made me want to do more, to support myself, to switch things up. It’s not been pretty at times but something has kept me going, a deep knowing that this is an important part of my personal healing and something I can then share with you too.
Patterns I have found so hard to break have just gently transformed. My commitment to putting my own self care first, something I have struggled with forever, has just become part of who I am (because I have experienced the benefits). My ‘addiction’ to coffee and sugar has gone, my diet completely overhauled along with my thought processes about what I eat. And I have lost a stone in weight. Weight loss was never the goal and was not even on my radar. What I find interesting about this is it just happened naturally, when I naturally started doing the practices. And this is not about being skinnier, it’s about being lighter, in all senses and that’s how I feel.I have lost literal and energetic baggage and it’s showing in my body.
There is a saying in the yogic world
‘Do yoga, then do life’
And now I truly get it. Because when you do the practice first, everything else is easier, things flow into place or the things fall by the wayside. That never ending to do list now feels a lot more manageable.
So what does any of that have to do with the full moon?? This moon is about really noticing what is being highlighted to you and FOR you. what no longer serves. And as I mentioned, this is a practice and a journey..it never ends.
Challenges still arise and old patterns can still rear their heads, it’s about making that commitment to yourself to make the better choices. Having a practice like Kundalini yoga, Circle or other spiritual practices can really help you, as it reconnects you to who you really are.
If you find this full moon you are experiencing those same repeating patterns bubbling up again, then it’s a great time to spend sometime reflecting on those and how you can put things in place to support you. Remembering, nothing changes unless you do ❤️
