Full Moon Expansion

Seasons of transition also include Moon phases, as Grandmother Moon ushers the universe in the waves of energy that create seasonal effects. This full Moon phase for January 2024 is what the Farmer’s Almanac calls a Wolf’s Moon, because January is usually when wolves are more active, thus howling more. It means “Wolves that run together” in the Sioux language. During the full Moon phases, one might practice a ritual of releasing. This ritual could be as simple as releasing a darker environment by opening the curtains and the windows, or lightening the colors of one’s decor, or switching out darker colors of clothing to lighter, more airy colors, or decluttering an area in one’s home and/or office, or an actual ritual.

I pondered on that prior to my morning meditation and Spirit led me to understanding for humans and how that might affect one’s energy. For me, living in the Northern Hemisphere in the state of Georgia, it offered me an expansion. In the last two weeks this area has had very rainy, cold weather with freezing temperatures. Yesterday the weather rose to almost 80 degrees with lots of sunshine. Cold weather requires one to dress in layers and “close up” the clothing to keep body heat at comfortable levels. One might cross their arms to further the heating capacity of their body, huddle together with others, stay inside or in enclosed environments, keep hands covered and/or in clothing pockets. One tends to “close” themselves up and stay hidden from the elements, to include other people.

When warmer, sunnier weather arrives, like yesterday for where I live, it offers one the opportunity to open up their living environment while simultaneously lifting one’s mood. Psychologically, sunshine “melts” away seasonal anxiety dis-orders and affords one the availability to lift one’s face to the rays and soak in Grandfather Sun’s healing energies. The mantels of dissonance, strife, and loneliness fall away, just as one sheds heavy cloaks, allowing one to feel lighter and more free. One’s countenance senses an open, airiness that expands their entire being–mind, body, heart, and soul.

Without realization of my choices and how those choices played out in the theater of my mind, I created a more expansive environment of my home because I felt the energy of this new full Moon in the theater of my body. My body was in flow with Grandmother Moon and the releasing energy she offers us in her full phase. I released the darker colors in my home and put out lighter, brighter colors. As well, I opened the windows, dusted and vacuumed more thoroughly, and remembered to purchase a small pot I needed to replace (a small gift of self-care). Being outside in a walk with my kitty brought me under the expansiveness of the open sky, affording me the spiritual connections the expansiveness offers one in the open sky. I felt connected in all areas of my being, bringing me to a place of hope in the sanctuary of my heart. The energy of my entire day felt open, free, light, and expansive.

I was releasing the darkness I have been feeling of late without my Son in my physical life and touched his face through the rays that shone upon my own face.

My entire day became a releasing ritual for my entire being. Think about your own day yesterday. What did you unknowingly release during this full Moon phase? I would love to read your share.

Much Love in the energy of this Wolf’s Full Moon as we parents of ascended children “run together”, as do the wolves in our hearts.
