New Moon in Leo August 19, 2020

Every month the new moon sets the stage for a new beginning. Not the “ta-da” part of new beginnings, but the part where we find ourselves underground in the dark, and following our instincts to the light. Even though there’s no evidence yet that we will be successful we are driven to continue.

All our strength and energy are going into striving. This new moon we are blessed with the confidence and courage of Leo and it will give us the determination to keep going and have faith in ourselves. Once we break through into the sun we will do it with style and worship it like it's a god.

The theme this month is Unique You and the Leo new moon is ideal for refining who that is. Let's do a candle meditation that will clear out all the old noise and prepare you for your grand entrance. You will need the Chakra Magic Confidence candle and the Chakra Magic Love spray. Prepare to go into meditation by removing the packaging from the candle and placing it in a candle holder. Light the candle. Imagine you are in your favorite place, safe, protected, comfortable, and sitting in a bubble of light. Now bring your attention to your solar plexus. Imagine the light from the candle flame is radiating out and filling your bubble of light. It immediately goes to work to purify your solar plexus. All that is dark and uncomfortable is dissolved in the light. Negative memories or beliefs about yourself may come to mind. Let them be dissolved in the light too. Take some gentle deep breaths to release these old memories and beliefs. Now the light radiating from the candle flame fills your solar plexus with joy, confidence, and peace and returns it to brilliant yellow.

When that feels complete, bring your attention to your sacral chakra. Again, imagine the light from the flame is radiating out and filling your bubble of light. Now it immediately goes to work to purify your sacral chakra. All that is dark and uncomfortable is dissolved in the light. Old feelings of hurt may arise, let them be dissolved in the light too. Do your best not to hang on to things you can’t change. Allow your sacral chakra to be re-tuned by the light. Take some gentle deep breaths to help you release what needs to be released, leaving this chakra feeling uplifted and bright orange. Now you are better able to love yourself, love your life, and go forward with confidence. Give thanks to God/Goddess/All that is for your life and the strength and courage needed to burst through the soil and see the light of day. In other words, live your life to its fullest by believing in yourself and really valuing the unique person you are.

After your meditation, blow out the candle. You may continue to relight it daily for a few hours until it is done. Every day, spritz your solar plexus with the Confidence spray and then spritz your sacral chakra with the love spray.
