New moons are always about new intentions; the start of a new lunar cycle. As I write this newsletter on the eve of this April 17th fiery new moon in Aries, I am pondering a reset, and considering those areas of my life that could use a boost, some redirection, extra care or perhaps even an “adios,” a goodbye.
Whether it’s eliminating a bad habit, an addiction, making dietary changes, being more social, ending procrastination, creating an exercise plan, or just deciding to have more fun, this new moon offers powerful energy to support such changes and upgrades. Go for it! What do you want to reset in your life? What do you do to stay consistent? I would love to hear from you! Feel free to comment by email, or by using the contact on my website: lisa@silvershamanichealing.com. I will share some of your comments in my next newsletter.
A Simple Exercise for Cutting Cords
If this Aries New Moon calls you to reset something in your life, it can be helpful to cut the energetic cords or ties to people, situations and events from the past. Here is a simple exercise for cutting ties to these things we want to leave behind:
1. Standing tall, place your dominant hand, palm-open, at your side, arm straight.
2. Call on your Spirit guides, power animals and protectors to assist you in cutting cords.
3. State out loud, “I call upon the Divine Mother, Creator, Archangel Michael (these are a few of my go-to’s, but use your own) to assist me in cutting any energetic, karmic, subconscious or conscious cords from this life or any past-lives between myself and _____________.”
4. Now move your open-palmed hand behind your head, preparing to make a downward chopping motion. 5. Then state: “I cut these cords with non-judgement. I cut these cords with complete forgiveness. I cut these cords with unconditional compassion and love.” I like to bring my hand back behind my head, making the chopping motion for each statement.
6. Do this as many times or as frequently as needed until you feel relief, using the words that work for you.
There is no wrong way to do this practice. Your pure intention and heart-felt desire is what creates the power behind it.
