20 June 2018 - 1st Quarter Moon
At this point in the lunar cycle we find ourselves facing challenges that arose from our recent encounters with the Shadow during the New Moon and the darkness that she reflected within us.
As the Moon begins to shine brighter, we begin to sense and eventually see the parts of Self that are ready to be reconciled - this is the beginning of the next stage of the healing process. If weโre attuned to our thoughts and body, this is the point where we become familiar with the themes in and of our lives, and we begin to open ourselves up to the revelation of these themes - including how they play out in our lives, so remain aware over the coming week as we head towards the Full Moon as what you need to know and heal will be revealed.
One of the big things that Spirit wishes to share this week is the theme of running away. Over the last 24 hours this has come to me so many times, to ensure that I โgot itโ so that I could share it with you. Please understand that itโs not about running away from your life, or from something or someone, which tends to be the reaction that most of us have, right?
What Theyโre speaking about is not about running towards whatever it is that weโre running away from either, thereโs no need to confront our fears or illusions about what it could be that we feel is chasing us.
Itโs about the simple act of stopping - just stop running.
Many might find that what they believed was chasing them, might in fact just keep on moving past them, ie. it belongs to another and you simply got in the way of that; others might find that when it catches up to them, itโs to impart some wisdom or offer a gift that will help with the next stage of their journey; it might also turn out that it might just dissolve, ie. all it needs is to be acknowledged - simply acknowledge that thereโs a presence there of something that was yours or a part of you some time ago, but was never truly released for whatever reason.
While that filters through and begins to heal what is in need of love, attention and affection within you, letโs take a look at this weekโs symptoms, shifts and transformations and healing and balancing...
For those new to these Moon energy reading posts:
I tune in to the current energies and list some general symptoms that most of us are experiencing. I then follow up with some remedies that can help us to move through the symptoms and into a more balanced state of being.
These are a general guide and do not, by any means contain all of the current symptoms or remedies.
๐ฅ Symptoms, shifts & transformations โฆ
Spinal flush
The spinal flush is being felt in different areas for many, but as this is a general reading, weโll stick with the majority and where it is being felt this week.
Many are experiencing shoulder & upper back - tightness, tension, dis-ease or discomfort which may or may not be referring down the arms.
It feels as though many are carrying the weight of the world on their shoulders without necessarily being aware that that is what theyโre doing or why they're doing it. If youโre interested in tuning into and deciphering the energies and themes of this dis-ease, ask yourself these questions:
Is it yours to carry?
Or is the pain/discomfort/dis-ease simply the manifestation of the belief that you 'have to carry it all'?
And then we need to look at our reasons/motives for doing so:
Is it so that it looks valid - does it give you a valid reason to explain your struggle/challenge/obstacle?
Do you get bonus points for playing the martyr/victim/rescuer?
If you missed my earlier post where I discussed spinal flushes in depth, you can take a look here.
Heart chakra activations, clearing and healing
Here we see the deepening of the shoulder and upper back discomfort and dis-ease that speaks more intimately about our ability to support ourselves - or more precisely:
The discrepancies in our thoughts and beliefs that we have about:
others supporting us vs. being able to supporting ourselves.
As we tune into these discrepancies, we begin to sense the relationships and energetic ties that influence our ability to support or be supported.
Nothing needs to be done right now except the act of acknowledging - without judgement - that these thoughts/beliefs/desires reside within or are a part of us. Acknowledgement is the first step, the rest will unfold as you begin to step up and transcend the challenges and obstacles that come your way - remember: they are not there to knock you down, but to help you to recover your inner resilience, strength and courage on the way to reconnecting you with your Essence.
[As I channelled this last sentence, I was shown a vision of superheroes in the movies, fighting the bad guys; not for the fight, but for what it stands for - for the betterment of all. Are you able to see the difference here - it might appear subtle, but it is immense.]
Sleep: disrupted, insomnia and strange dreams, visualisations or daydreams
The first thing I want to ask you is: how do you feel upon waking?
Then: what themes are running through your dreams?
Drop into the heart and see if you can feel into what the message of the dream might be for you - it may or may not be an accepted representation of the symbol, trust your intuition and where it guides you.
I have a Dream Clarification Reading that delves deeper into the messages of dreams if you are interested and/or ready to recover your Soulโs messages for you at this time.
Changes or a shift in eating choices or patterns
Food choices may be shifting and evolving - are you finding that youโre not craving or reaching out for old comforts? Or perhaps youโre able to eat them in moderation now rather than binge??
What else is going on in your life - does it feel as though thereโs a sense of purpose or reason thatโs running beneath the surface and in all that you're currently involved in?
Do you feel as though youโve dropped your awareness beneath surface-level and are more in-tune with your mind, body and Soulโs needs?
Feel into this - thereโs something there thatโs ready to be recovered ๐
Emotional shifts
We are becoming aware of the long-held, long-hidden fears (read: illusions) that weโve been operating under for the longest time; instead of berating yourself for having been under their influence: remember that you didnโt know any different (at the time - now, you do); remember that this was your mode of self-protection and thank it instead for keeping you safe and for helping you to navigate the energies that you travelled together.
Begin now to feel into the safety that you currently have in your life - it doesnโt matter how far it stretches, just that you can sense its presence, and that you acknowledge with gratitude all that has brought you to this place in time - this present moment.
Briefly, many are experiencing depression and or feeling themselves on the edge of the vortex of depression - reach out and ask for help, you do not have to do this alone, nor are you ever expected to. If youโre finding things difficult reach out to someone, please.

Inner Work & journalling:
When we take and make the time to connect with the inner realms, we can initiate and/or facilitate great shifts. The more we know ourselves, the better we become at handling what comes our way. Begin by writing about how you feel - physically and/or emotionally, then as you discover these feelings (and even emotions), describe how they feel and as you write about them, youโll find that there may be a pattern or underlying theme that stands out.
Hydration:
Keeping our bodies hydrated is important with all of these energetic upgrades. Drinking water and herbal teas is a great way to flush out the toxins that are being released by the body. For the coffee and black tea drinkers: drink one glass of water per cup of caffeinated beverage.
Suggestions: lavender; rose; sage; camomile; peppermint; lotus.
