Today is the full moon, and like all new moons and full moons, I did a spread aligned to the moon’s current themes as a part of my recognition of the moon’s cycle and influences upon us. Today’s spread is courtesy of Owl and Bones Tarot.
What is your reason to roar?
The Watchful Wolf – Protecting what’s yours. Whether it’s people or spaces… pack or den.
What makes you crave the spotlight?
The High Tower – You like to be admired. (Who doesn’t?) It lifts you up.
How can you share that light?
The Sad Prince – Stay humble and allow your vulnerabilities to show.
How can you better integrate feedback or criticism?
The Warty Toad – Don’t allow criticism or constructive feedback (even the badly phrased kind) to dim your heart’s glow. Process it with your mind, not your emotions.
Full Moon advice from the Minoan Goddess Amalthea.
The Slave’s Cave – Home doesn’t have to be a place of only toil and work. It can be cozy too.
Today’s meditation was ten minutes long, and was one of the #dailycalm sessions from the Calm app. The topic of the session was about intrusive thoughts during meditation, and how instead of trying to push them away or squelch them, it is better to tell them “thank you, but not now”. In doing so, we give them room to resurface later instead of trying to kill them off and ending up with them fighting back in response. It also removes the self judgement of telling yourself that you’re not “good at” meditation, allowing you to practice without harsh judgements and less frustration.
