In the season one finale of Live and Learn, Henri and Mike share personal messages and stories from listeners who went through similar experiences in their jobs.

Before it had a proper term, Gaslighting was happening all over the entertainment industry. In the latest episode, Henri and Mike revisit a series of events that changed them forever. 

The Leo New Moon arrives on August 16th, 2023, and brings the start of a fresh lunar cycle. As the lunar cycle begins, we can let the slate be cleaned in our own lives and set inentions about moving forward!

New Moons offer a reset and can guide us to evolve in how we are feeling about something. New Moons are also a powerful time to set intentions. We can use the New Moon energies to get clear about what we wish to focus on in our lives.

This new moon provides a beneficial time frame to make changes in your “story”, especially any aspects that are no longer serving you. The themes of worthiness, boundaries, balance and simplicity are ones to pay attention to as your emotional relationships with self, others, prosperity, havingness and self-worth are triggered. What about your current story causes stress, discouragement, confusion, or low self-confidenece? The heart is activated and anything that is not aligned with your inner emotional truth may be up for questioning.

A new moon starts a new lunar cycle and always supports a new beginning and a a good reset. You have the opportunity to erase the old story board and begin with changing whatever does not bring you joy or support your passion and bolster your self-confidence.

Also asking to look at your boundaries and seeing about the the balance between giving and receiving. This may require an examination of your boundaries so you can adjust them accordingly. This new moon is also about celebrating self, creative passions and joy, and building inner power from your own truth. Allowing the connection to your Authentic Self come through.

Authenticity can mean having the courage to lead from the heart. Your enthusiasm is contagious, and with Leo season in full effect, there’s no better time to discover and reconnect with your passions. It’s important to hold space for your inner child and your heart’s desires. What brings you joy? Do you feel confident exploring your natural curiosities?

The Leo New Moon is a moon filled with creative potential, vital energy and a passion for life. And so this is a great moon for setting the intention to be open to inspiration, to follow through with any creative insights, to reclaim your joy, as well as your passion.

In addition to following on the heels of the New Venus cycle, what makes this New Moon unlike other Leo New Moons is its exact square to Uranus. What Uranus, the planet known as "Great Awakener".

The New Moon serves the purpose to inspire others, but it may even inspire those who are not normally inspired, because of this ability to shift gears, go in a new direction, or do things a little differently. 

So, write the next chapter in your life and the next steps in your journey with a focus on simplifying, changing it up, and supporting self in the best way possible.

If unexpected events bring surprise, challenge or change, use your tools to creatively think outside the box and to be open to something entirely new and different. 

Reflection Questions:

What do you need to simplify in your life?

Where are you overcomplicating a situation or allowing your emotions/thoughts/story to make a situation worse than it is?

If you are dealing with a relationship conflict at the moment, take pause and see if you can view it from a wider, more zoomed out lens: How is this situation guiding you to love yourself more? How is this situation helping you to receive more love? What is the wisdom of the situation? Can a peaceful resolution be called in? Is there a healthy boundary to put in place (with loving kindness and compassion) for the situation, yourself and with anyone else nvolved? Has the energy been completed and a new flow is elsewhere? Has a chapter concluded and a new chapter is being called to start? Use discernment, Reiki/Dowsing, Loving Kindness, Compassion, Mindfulness, Meditation tools to support.

On the latest episode, Henri and Mike talk about their time on NBC's Prime Time reality series, Three Wishes.

Breathing to reduce stress. Breathing is an automatic function of the body that is controlled by the respiratory center of the brain. When we feel stressed, our breathing rate and pattern changes as part of the ‘fight-or-flight response’. 
Fortunately, we also have the power to deliberately change our own breathing. Scientific studies have shown that controlling your breath can help to manage stress and stress-related conditions. Breath control is also used in different practices. Many people use their breathing to help promote relaxation and reduce stress. 

The trick is based on a simple fact of anatomy. When you breathe in, your diaphragm and other muscles move in such a way that the chest expands, leaving slightly more room for your heart. In response your heart expands a tiny bit as well, causing the blood within it to slow slightly. 

Mindful Reiki Breathwork: Physiological Sigh - It looks like this: 

When a person is relaxed, they breathe through their nose in a slow, even and gentle way. Deliberately copying a relaxed breathing pattern seems to calm the nervous system that controls the body’s involuntary functions. 
Controlled breathing can cause physiological changes that include
