Use the new moon before it’s too late – create more ease in your life

After reading my last posts here and here you’ll have a better idea of how it’s possible to feel more in control of your life.

You may have read about managing stress and getting more done with awareness of cycles (i.e. know when you’re good to go and likely to achieve more and when to stay on the down-low when the cycle is against you).

Many people have asked where they can access a lunar calendar to know the cycles of the moon to work with them. My colleague and friend, Christal Phala-Simons, founder of Oak Trees of Spirit™, has created a lunar forecasting toolkit that provides a lunar calendar, a forecast for the whole of 2018 to tell you what to expect in relation to the moon and cycles, and a great explanation of how to use this toolkit and other information in your life.

Since I have been acknowledging and working with the natural cycles and using my energy when I have energy, and resting when my energy is likely to be low, my health and productivity have really improved. As soon as I try to just push regardless of the cycles my energy and productivity plummet and it feels like I’m uselessly swimming upriver against the tide (and at times even starting to drown!)

Christal’s toolkit was created for the whole of 2018 so she’s offering it for a discounted rate as half of the forecasting calendar will no longer be relevant. However, all the other information and the 2nd half of the calendar is very useful.

If you use this toolkit in collaboration with my tracking tool that I offered you’re very likely to experience the difference this can make for your stress levels and productivity.

Also, many of you asked how to work with the menstrual cycle in relation to the lunar cycle i.e. if your menstrual cycle does not synch with the lunar cycle. I suggest using your tracking tool as mentioned above and you’ll very likely see that your mood and energy are primarily impacted by your menstrual cycle.

However, you’ll still be impacted by the moon and can leverage the phases of the moon to guarantee greater success when following through with a project or process in your life (planning; emerging and actioning the plans; celebrating the outcomes; adapting; and tying up loose ends to prepare for the next phase). This can apply to ending a relationship, planting a garden, or buying a house. Read here to get more clear on this.

Instead of feeling like your life is spinning out of control and you’re barely keeping up, start to take charge of what you can by working within the natural cycles that impact on your energy and productivity. It can be so enlightening and a relief when you’re feeling like life is really rough to realise that it’s THAT time of the cycle and no wonder it’s not working out so you just let it for the moment. Equally, it’s very empowering to recognise what you’re capable of when you do work with the cycles and it all just….flows.

It’s time to feel empowered again!

I used to struggle deeply with holding space for clients. I would quickly become exhausted, and it felt incredibly frustrating. The thing I loved most—supporting others—was actually burning me out. Over the years listening to what was depleting me and what was nourishing me helped but I was tired of not being able to do so many of the things I enjoyed because it was too much for me. I had to also learn to make some fundamental shifts in my identity and my nervous system to be able to turn what was depleting me into something that was nourishing me instead, and to have the capacity to hold it all. Two weeks ago I hosted my first ever 3 night retreat. I had held space for women for up to a full day but never longer than that. I was concerned that I'd be exhausted afterwards. Instead, I came away buzzing with energy that lasted for days. No crash—just a full, bursting heart and a sense of spacious ease in my nervous system. It felt like I had been the one attending the retreat, not just hosting it! Here's what has changed to make this possible: 1) I no longer try to rescue people. I used to believe I had to do the work for them. Since I was a child I felt what people felt and I took on the emotions of others (many of you will likely have experienced the same as I find most of my clients with chronic fatigue and burnout are highly sensitive individuals). I took on the protector/rescuer role from a young age. This is often an unconscious trauma adaptation. After all, if the people around us are safe then we are safe so if we can protect and rescue them them it helps them and helps us (all done unconsciously of course). My chronic fatigue and burnout taught me two crucial lessons: if I’m not okay first, I can’t truly help anyone; and that I'm safe, supported and empowered. This helped me see my clients not as people needing saving or carrying, but as amazing, empowered individuals who rather need someone to walk alongside them on the path while seeing them in the fulness of their light. Serving from this place feels completely different—lighter and more authentic. 2) I shifted my identity, as above —from victim to empowered—and also released the belief that my worth depended on how much I helped or avoided upsetting others. 3) I adopted nervous system practices that make me more resilient and less overwhelmed by life’s demands, all the sensory input and everyone's needs. My nervous system more quickly returns to a rested space where I can receive vitality and nourish myself. 4) My spiritual relationship has deepened so that I no longer hold a belief that I am self-reliant and alone but, rather, deeply connected to a bigger, unfolding matrix that nourishes, guides and protects me. 5) I keep a toolbox of tools and techniques to calm my nervous system, connect to my body, and receive spiritual support. The sacred ritual of these daily habits sets me up to feel held and at ease. I don't always get this right. I am neurodivergent with a particularly neurospicy family and life can be crazy at times. While I manage to hold space for clients from a far more rooted and regulated place it's not always the case in my home and family life! But, damn, it's so much better than it was and I feel far more empowered. I'm so grateful for that.
