New Moon in Virgo

The New Moon is a powerful time for fresh beginnings, a blank canvas in the sky that invites you to set new intentions and plant the seeds of your desires. This phase is about quiet reflection, aligning with your deepest aspirations, and envisioning the path you wish to walk.

As you sit with the energy of the New Moon, take a moment to tune into your heart. What do you wish to create or manifest in the coming weeks? Write down your intentions with clarity and purpose, knowing that this is the time to start anew.

If this resonates with you, consider embracing the New Moon as a time to reflect, set your intentions, and trust in the process of growth that unfolds.

A few questions should you desire a deeper reflection for self and add intention through the month to come.

  • Where in my life am I seeking more order and structure? How can I invite more discipline without losing my sense of spontaneity and joy?

  • What small, daily rituals or habits can I implement to honor my well-being and align more closely with my goals?

  • In what areas am I overly critical of myself or others? How can I shift towards a more compassionate and nurturing mindset?

  • How do I handle the balance between perfectionism and progress? What can I release to move forward more freely?

  • What aspects of my life need a detailed review or reorganization? How can I use this New Moon energy to create a more supportive environment for growth?

  • How can I better listen to my body’s needs and make adjustments in my health routine that reflect self-care and self-love?

  • What intentions can I set to cultivate more patience and acceptance of the process, even when results are not immediate?

When we think about change it can often feel like just ANOTHER thing we have to add to our "To Do" list. Nobody wants to work when it feels like work. Through a dear friend of mine I learned about the book Body Thrive by Cate Stillman. I joined my friend's book club and started my own journey with this book. My favorite part of the book is the fact it follows Ayurvedic principles.

WHAT are those you ask?? From chopra.com-

"Ayurveda is a science of life (Ayur = life, Veda = science or knowledge). It offers a body of wisdom designed to help people stay vibrant and healthy while realizing their full human potential.

The two main guiding principles of Ayurveda are 1) the mind and the body are inextricably connected, and 2) nothing has more power to heal and transform the body than the mind. Freedom from illness depends upon expanding our own awareness, bringing it into balance, and then extending that balance to the body."

So awesome...that means you can actively learn to heal your body, mind and spirit. You no longer have to feel lethargic through your day or need caffeine to wake up! You will begin to feel refreshed and energized and overall more content! Body Thrive works on one habit each week for you to explore using the workbook (super simple) and it isn't even about changing the habit immediately but much more just learning about yourself and experimenting with change to see if it actually makes you feel different. Who doesn't want to feel and live a more balanced life?! 

Right now I'm in week 4 and I have to say I am learning quite a bit about myself. Sometimes I do pretty good and other days I end up having some coffee and eating a delicious corned beef sandwich. I've found it really helpful to see the difference in how I feel the next day after I make certain choices the previous day- to actually FEEL the CHANGE! Let's see..........my favorite sensation so far has been not feeling nearly as bloated and waking up feeling rested!

If you're feeling like you'd like to change some habits in your life, I'd recommend trying Body Thrive. It has also been super great being a part of a book club to receive and offer support to others on the journey! Ask a friend or two to join you! Please comment if you've already done work with this book or are planning to start or just want to say hi!
