Today is a new moon. A new cycle. A new year. So much happening today!
We are cyclical beings, just like all things in nature. If we pay attention to our surroundings, the state of the moon, the position of the sun, we realize that it all works together, naturally, without interference. The plants and the animals and the planets, they are all working together somehow in harmony. And our energy is part of that.
I’ve been putting in a lot of work trying to release what is no longer serving me. Letting go of dead weight. Creating space for what is meant for me. All in preparation for today.
I believe our past lives in our bodies and that includes our hair. It had been years since I had a trim. It had been years since anyone other than me had touched my hair with a comb. Over the last couple of weeks, I made the decision to have a little letting go ceremony and shave the side of my head.
I lit some sage, pulled a card, wrote affirmations about letting go of resentment, grief, and disappointment, carried my little pouch of stones with me into the barbershop, and said let’s do this.
After combing and parting and game planning, he said, “Are you ready?” I smiled a cheesy smile, “Yes!” My head felt physically and spiritually lighter almost immediately. My confidence shrank a little too. Afterall, we were taught short hair is for boys. Something seared deep into my framework, even though I protest that way of thinking. So I’m also learning … that I still have some shedding to do.
But this next season isn’t about letting go. Today is about calling in what is already yours. It’s about seeing your future, visualizing it, affirming it, and intentionally bringing it to life. It’s about KNOWING that future is already happening for you, with you, without question.
So tonight, we manifest with the new moon. It’s a practice you can do monthly to recharge yourself and your dreams. If you’re into that kinda thing. The universe brings us a gift of the new moon every 29 days. Let’s celebrate that. 🌑
