Moon Phases

Mystic Monday

December 7, 2015

Hi All,

The new moon is on Friday this week.  So Thursday the dark moon it's time to let it all go.  Anything that is not serving your highest good let it go.  Jaunuary 13, 2016 I will be at the Enchanted Boutique teaching a class on Stones and their energy.  Call 651-600-3769 to get more information and reserve your seat.  Space is limited.

This week I figured we would talk about moon phases and how to use them in your energy work.  I am always confused by what to do and when with the moon so I use the book "in the shadow of 13 moons" by Kimberly Sherman-Cook as my go to reference for the phases.

I really need to start working the meditations in this book and embracing my shadow self so I can completely heal.  Maybe that will be something to do from this week on.

Ok so let's review the phases of the moon and try to keep then straight in our heads. 

The Full Moon

I am going to start here because this is the moon we are all most familiar with.  The full moon is the high night of manifesting.   This is the power night of the moon that is the best night for raising your vibrations to match the vibrations of what it is you wish to bring into your life.  The full moon is also the start of the waning phase.  

Waning Phase 

This starts the night after the full moon and continues for the next 14 nights.  During this time the moon physically starts to get smaller every night.  These nights assist in removing, banishing and letting it go.  So during this time you want to spend a few minutes each day focusing on what you would like removed from or ended in your life.

Dark Moon

This moon is often confused with the new moon.  On this night the moon is completely dark in the sky.  This is a powerful night in its own right.  This is the time for banishing and closing doors for good.  Use this poser night to do a ritual for removing block, banishing things and closing doors on that which is no longer serving your higher self.  The dark moon is also the start of the waxing phase.

New Moon

This is the moon the day after the dark moon.  It is the night when the moon is a tiny little sliver of light in the sky.  This is the first night to begin maifesting or focusing on what it is you would like to bring into your life. Goals, dreams, etc.

Waxing Phase

These are the nights the moon begins to grow a little bigger and brighter every night.  The waxing phase of the moon is the time to build energy and focus on what it is you would like in your life.  So every day use a little time to focus on what it is you goals are for this new time.

So those are the phases in general and in a nut shell.  

Christmas is coming soon and we will discuss the energy that it brings with it.  So until next week let everything and anything that isn't for your highest good go.  Let it Go!  (and now who is singing that song?)

Blessings All,

Wendy
