New Moon - illumination

From the teachings of the four cardinal directions

In the morning the Sun Rises in the East

The Eastern direction is the Spring,  as the plants come to life in spring.  Spring brings about renewal.  Renewal in the cycle of life.  The East is the direction of illumination, clarity and your life path.  This is a time of new beginnings a time to bring forth what you wan to illuminate in your life. Take a moment and visualize what you want to illuminate in your life? 

Bring Clarity to your illumination

Take a moment and reflect on old intentions that did not manifest.  Take a new approach and bring clarity to what you want to illuminate in your life?

New Moon intention

With the New Moon in Taurus a sign considered stable, reliable, and even-keeled how can you illuminate your path with these traits? The New moon is a time for self-care and comfort, bring forth what you want in the new lunar cycle.  Set an intention with what you want to illuminate.  Ask, where am I going? Be specific~ 

If you need help with this process - see the group meditation series. 

Osteoporosis! - let chat about it

Kinesiology & Posture

The bell shaped curve shows at age 40 risk increases

Those who know me, know that I promote Yin Yoga as a great practice that will help to alleviate symptoms of aging. Yin is a gentle form of yoga with intent on stretching connective tissue in the body. All positions are seated in a position on the mat.  I generally discuss how this connective tissue has become tight, stiff and by the age of 40 we should have been involved in a yin practice to keep the body supple. What else does that age of 40 reveal --


Taking a look at osteoporosis, ligaments and tendons pull on the bone stimulating the bone physiology that keeps us strong and mobile. Bone is composed of support cells, osteoblasts and osteocytes, remodeling cells - osteoclasts, along with a matrix of collagen, mineral salts, non-collagenous proteins called osteoid.    The remodeling cycle consists of three consecutive phases: resorption, during which osteoclasts digest old bone; reversal, when mononuclear cells appear on the bone surface; and formation, when osteoblasts lay down new bone until the resorbed bone is completely replaced. While that may sound complicated --


 Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease that results from osteoclastic bone resorption not compensated by osteoblastic bone formation. This causes bones to become weak and fragile, thus increasing the risk of fractures.  


What prevents it and how do you treat it? 

Weight bearing exercise, calcium, vitamin D. Often people are confused when you throw out "weight bearing exercise".  It is simply walking, as you transfer your weight from one foot to the other.  Mild strength exercises such as Yoga and Pilates. Simple resistance band exercise done correctly are great as they start off light, low repetition to allow for slow adaptation.  Since the spine is of major concern, gentle core isometrics type exercise are also a great beginning. Referencing the picture postural exercises are very important and simple. 


Combining guided meditation for relaxation and stress reduction are beneficial in any healing process.

Goddess Moon Meditations - Dark moon phase

Align with your feminine during the Dark Moon

Upcoming Event: November 15 - pm Location this month:

 As Grandmother moon begins to cover her face and gently withdraw to a quieter place. I invite you to come to this quiet place within, a time that has more to do with being than doing. Honoring this time in the cycle of the dark moon to meditate, to be receptive, to bring forth creative ideas,  opening yourself to dreams and visions.   

2020 is the year to attune with nature and yourself.  Coming into alignment within, "as above is below".

Each ceremony will have an intention, meditation, song, prayer, drumming.

History of Moon cycles of the feminine

 In the beginning the world was created in cycles of time, days, nights, moons, seasons.  Farmers planted seeds at specific times to harvest what was needed to sustain life.  In the business world we find cycles run on a fiscal year, which does not always match with the calendar year, monthly accounting cycles can be cut off before the 30 day lending themselves more to 28 day cycles.  The cycles of the feminine are no different and should not be overlooked.  This is a time to allow ideas from dreams and visions in meditation to come forth.  As stated from Brooke's book, Native American women of ancient times has "visions of giant silver birds flying and of great spider webs covering the land".  The interpretations of these are planes and power lines. "White Buffalo Woman Comes Singing".

Not to be excluded, Grandmothers or moon pause women are wise in experience and provide support and guidance to younger women.
