Cosmic Chaos  & Luna Gold

Taking things personally, doubting my self worth around love and abundance, being feisty with others, snapping, these have showed up directly in me or in the people around me this past week. I have a feeling like I'm on high caffeine, PMSing, and on steroids, all at the same time, although I'm on none. Past few days I have woken up feeling as if I watched a long, vivid and confusing movie all night. I have seen old wounds bubbling up, sadness, longing, tears, exhaustion as well as sudden bursts of creative energy surprising acknowledgements and breakthroughs due to the work I have been doing. Almost feeling like one last test! The whole buffet showed up in the past 7-10 days. Any of these happening to you at home or at work?

Since I'm really on top of my inner work and self care game these days, this sudden shift from my serenity made me ask - What's UP dear UNIVERSE? Turns out while I was busy working on myself I lost the pulse on the ASTRAL WEATHER.. (Although I knew Mars retrograde was to start). So, I looked it up. Behold! Half the planets are in retrograde, the drama of the mid summer solar eclipse is about to begin with an ass whipping full moon in Capricorn!

OK.. B.r.e.a.t.h.e... All this LUNACY is the good type and happening FOR us, says the wise one within! Now, I had to figure out how to flow with it and harness this celestial prodding. I have the deep knowing in me that its time to alchemize some gold!

Below, is summary of my take aways about the cosmic chaos right now and the significance to our lives, and the tools I tried and tested over the last few days that have payed off. 

Today, I'm so much more relaxed and surrendered due to clarity. My heart has slowed down due to more healing. Gaze is inward, mind at peace, hair and ego soft and shoulders shiny. A part of me really proud to have plowed through this call for contemplation, connecting everything as a test of the work I have been doing, a summary note of sorts for all the transformational inner work I have done in the past 6 months. And taking inspired action from that new space! 

So, If you are feeling anything like this lovely goddess, then I hope this helps. Here is a summary of the space weather and how to harvest it for you with this magical moon SOAK. I got all the deets - Recipe, Ritual, In soak meditation and journal prompts to TURN THIS LUNACY into LUNA GOLD! 

SIGNIFICANCE OF A FULL MOON 

Mind and emotional being is ruled by the Chandra the Moon. She is the movement within the water of consciousness which is represented by the Surya the Sun. So the moon essentially is our QUALIA. On full moon the mind surrenders and makes a full connection with consciousness sun. Just like the moon brings up the tides, a lot of things churn up around full moon and come up to the surface for processing and alchemy. Its up to us to use supportive and encouraging energy of the full moon to dissolve, pivot, re-coupe and evolve.  To make our Qualia more Goddess, open the heart up for deep compassion for the self and the collective. 

FULL MOON IN CAPRICORN - June 27-28

Capricorn the mountain/sea goat mythical creature represents the energies in us and the universe which holds infinite potential. Capricorn is steadfast, determined, and really can do anything. No mountain is too big to climb, sea is too big to cross and she believes that it can be done with grace and being regal. Her gifts to do this are  focus, discipline, hard work and above all clarity about who she is and whats serving her highest potential - and being grounded in the truth of her. She is deeply connected to her discernment and intuition. Saturn is the ruling planet and what it brings are the capabilities to be honoring of time and discipline. Honoring time may mean patience and also mean honoring death. So, when Capricorn pairs with the moon, what it call us to do, is look at where we are right now and where we want to be - And how willing are we to take the responsibility for our feelings and actions? What is hindering and weighing us down from within.  Who or what is zapping our energy and time? And.. what needs to die in our thinking and mind or literally be gone from our lives to make space for the new. 

So this is what I gathered from some more reading: Capricorn and Saturn have been more active in a particular area of our lives than the others in the past 6 months and this full moon brings things to culmination based on the amount of work we have done on that area of our life by taking radical responsibility? How much have we tried to learn and grow? What have we reaped? How much have we chosen love over fear? How much love have we given to the self now and our inner child? How much compassion have we cultivated for others and the collective? How has that shaped our actions? Saturn is a tough-love kind of teacher so if things needed to be learned and we did not invest into it, the lessons will come through now. No matter what! 

Luckily there is also the Sun in Cancer that is a nurturing and will ensure that this turmoil can be travelled with poise and grace of the gentle moon beams. Trust that as a collective everyone is being asked to take a step back and look at how we are showing up. We are being asked to see all the signs from the past and move into healing ourself and the world.

Now, LETS DO THE WORK

Why is it a SOAK and not a bath?

I take a bath to cleanse and I soak to transform.  A Soak involves allowing the water and the elements of the ritual to permeate me in a way that allows me to take in the lessons and release what no longer belongs. I integrate with the directions of the universe. Guided by meditation and contemplation. Shifted by journaling all the while held in a hopeful support of sacred water altar we create - the soak.

RECIPE FOR THE MID SUMMER FULL MOON SOAK

  • Warm Pure water & a clean tub

  • Body Oil - I used almond oil this time. 
  • Flower offering -  Fresh Rose and Peonies
  • Flower Essence - Rose Oil from Rajasthan I bought in India. 
  • Crystals - Rose Quarts and Clear Quartz felt called. 
  • Light - Unscented Candle so I enjoy the aromatic steam. 
  • Salts - Himalayan and Epsom. I wanted more ocean elements so I chose to add some Blue Algae
  • Optional - Face/Hair Masks - I skipped the body brushing this time but this is a great time to do that. 
  • Cold water with rose water added to it. Or cold brewed camomile. 

RITUAL 

  • Clean the bath room. Wipe down the tub with a natural cleaner. Turn on Do Not Disturb on your phone.
  • Burn Palo Santo or Sage and turn on the exhaust so we let the still low vibe air escape.
  • Start with filling the tub with water and silently decorate all around it very slowly and mindfully putting intention into the light, crystals and flowers. Hold the flowers in your hands and pray and set intentions before you put them in. 
  • Add the essential oil to my salts and mix them. This time, I also added my Spirulina to the salt along with the rose oil. Make an offering of the salts to the water with intention to dissolve and remove what does not belong in my body, mind and energetic fields. 
  • Ask the essential oil to soften the skin and ego. Anoint the pull points with rose and then massage arms and legs with almond oil. Watch out of slipping around the tub.
  • Turn on your favorite music or open the window if you have good sounds coming from outside.. I play my Spotify mix on the Alexa in my bathroom.  And meditations on my phone speaker.
  • Print out the journal prompts if you can or download and have them handy.Contemplate on them during the soak ( after meditation) or right after while still in a softened/meditative state. I leave mine on my bed so I can cozy up, journal and sleep off. 
  • GET INTO THE SOAK. Stand in front of the soak and give gratitude for everything that has gone into making time for this soak. Set intention to come out transformed. Knowing it will be done. 
  • Once you get comfortable inside the water you can dunk your head too. I first like to get into meditations and then dunk before I'm done. 
  • Sometimes I go over my whole body thanking every part to be working without me doing anything at all. Giving gratitude and admiration.
  • After meditation, start wrapping up the SOAK. Collect flowers and deposit outside the tub. Open the drain ( add a tea filter on it to stop any residues from clogging) and while the water waits to drain. Turn on the shower, if you need a rinse. Give thanks for the universe to help you release and remove what no longer belonged to you. Great time to stay quiet or do mantra recitation as you exit from the SOAK to the Journal. Make sure you HYDRATE a lot during the whole process.

MEDITATION 

I will record and update a specific meditation ritual I do in a soak. You can come back and get it tomorrow. For now I would highly recommend chants that bathe you in the sound of mantras like RA MA DA SA.
