🌕 Happy Full Buck Moon to you!
Wherever you are on this beautiful planet, tonight we are all going to gaze at the same full moon. Let's take a moment together and hold each other in our awareness, feel the web of light we are part of and send peace, love and healing to wherever they are needed in the world.
✨ Maybe also take a moment for yourself to focus on your personal wishes for your future?
✨ Maybe invite the energies of this special full moon to support you in manifesting the life of your dreams?
The light of the July full moon is said to hold the energies for growth, renewal and abundance. It is called 'Buck Moon' as it marks the time of the year where the new antlers are are growing rapidly on male deer (bucks).
This full moon offers the opportunity to ask yourself:
✨ What would I like to manifest in my life right now?
Take a moment and hold this question in your heart and wait what vision emerges...
✨ Where would you like to be?
✨ With whom would you like to be?
✨ What would you like to do?
✨ How would you like to feel?
Visualise the life of your dreams in every detail and feel what it will feel like. Observe what will happen over the coming months...
And maybe you can identify one small step which you can consciously and easily take into the direction of the life of your dreams. Maybe just one tiny step to lift your mood, like listening to your favourite song when you wake up? Or to take three deep breaths in gratitude for what you already have in your life a few times a day? ...
One tiny step can make all the difference and it might be the beginning of your path into the life of your dreams...
💖 Which step you would like to take from tomorrow?
Be aware that whatever happiness, joy, peace and love you are manifesting for yourself will radiate out into the world; like the ripples of a stone being thrown into a pond...
🌍 By changing your life you are changing the world. One heart at a time...
May the light of the full moon shine its heavenly blessings onto you tonight and may all your dreams come true!
Love and Blessings on the beams of this full moon to you from Findhorn 💖✨🌕
