Happy New Moon! I’m very excited to post this January Moon Medicine episode. I share a lot of wisdom related to spirit animals such as the turtle and many more. I also pulled a few oracle cards to help you set your intentions during the full moon. I added some journaling prompts and closed the episode with a short pranayama/breath meditation.

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:

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.
