PREPARATION CHECKLIST FOR THE NEW MOON

Exciting news! Tonight marks the arrival of the Super New Moon and Solar Eclipse, and I can't wait to share a preparation checklist to help you manifest your dreams.

I'll be running my first friends and family moon circle tomorrow to prepare for the New Moon. Soon, you'll be able to join in, too. More details about that below.

But first, here's a run down of what I'll be covering in tomorrow's closed circle so that you can manifest your goals, too.

The first thing to note is that tomorrow is a Super New Moon Solar Eclipse—sadly, it will only be visible from Texas to Maine. With heightened energies and Mercury in Retrograde until April 24th, we need to remain very conscious and avoid falling into old habits.

PERSONAL GROWTH AND SELF DISCOVERY

Although the full moon typically signifies letting go of what no longer serves us, this theme is equally important in New Moon preparations.

So, using the energetic shifts with Mercury in Retrograde more positively, we can be mindful of the bad habits or old patterns that we are being drawn towards to understand better where we are holding ourselves back and which of our behaviours require more work at this time.

Before the New Moon, we can use meditation to connect with our hearts and higher consciousness to understand the emotions behind our old behavioural patterns. We can journey on a path to self-discovery to surface our feelings and limiting beliefs and release these blocks to manifestation by raising our vibrations.

HOW EFT CAN BE USED TO SHIFT YOUR MINDSET AND TRANSFORM YOUR EMOTIONS.

I'll be incorporating EFT in this afternoon's circle to work on self-doubt and limiting beliefs. Often, beliefs rooted in childhood experiences shape our present self-perceptions.

For example, being told, "You're stupid, and you'll never amount to anything" may foster feelings of unworthiness, influencing our career choices and behaviours, including overcompensation presented through hyper-delivery as a means of feeling validated.

The truth is that you are not stupid at all, but you've allowed yourself to accept stupidity as your "truth".

When you delve into these unconscious self-limiting beliefs, journeying back to remarks you received as a child to understand their origins better, then releasing them, you'll raise your vibrations and, in turn, prepare yourself to accept greater abundance from the Universe.

In this instance, the outcome could be a promotion, which leads to a higher pay grade, more positively challenging work tasks, and self-empowerment. All that's left to receive this is to shift your mindset and affirm it as truth.

RAISE YOUR VIBRATION

Once we have cleared all the negativity and released all of our blocks, we need to replace it with gratitude.

HOW TO OFFER GRATITUDE TO THE UNIVERSE

I release all of these blocks through loving kindness, compassion and gratitude.

I give thanks for everything good in my life.

I give thanks for the opportunity to move forward in my life, knowing that I am now unstoppable in achieving my goals.

I give thanks for my health.

I give thanks to everyone in my life who has loved, helped and supported me on my journey.

I give thanks to all the people who taught me lessons along the way, allowing me to grow and evolve.

I give thanks to everybody and everything that has contributed to all that I have and all that I am

Thank you, thank you, thank you

SUPERCHARGE YOUR MANIFESTATION THIS NEW MOON

1. Make a note of your most important goal.

2. On a vision board, use colours to bring your goal to life and pictures to depict your manifestation.

3. Create an affirmation of your goal.

4. Imagine that dream or goal and really feel it—feel the feeling of the wish fulfilled!

5. Repeat the affirmation you have chosen as many times as you can throughout the day.

For example,

• If you want clarity and confidence in your business, you could affirm, "I have complete clarity, I have stepped out of my fear, I am now confident, I am now able to grow my business."

• If you want to manifest a new relationship, you could say, "I am so happy and grateful in my new relationship."

• If you feel you need to improve your health, you could use "I am so grateful for my healing" or "I am happy and healthy."

The key is to use the present tense as though you are already in that new relationship or you are back to full health. 

If you would like to power up your manifestation, you can build an altar and set your intention as you do so.

You can also build a grid, write your affirmation on a Post-it note, and place it in the centre of your altar, with a crystal on top of it.

For manifesting, I use citrine or clear quartz, although there are many other crystals you can choose for manifesting.

For further information on how to build an altar or a grid, please send me an email or DM.

NEW MOON MANTRA

For the new moon ceremony, I offer salutations to Lord Ganesh, the remover of obstacles, and the New Moon Mantra is "Om Gam Ganapataye Namaha" here's a link to my favourite version:
