Kia ora whānau! 💖🌝

This Gemini Full Moon is occurring at 0 degrees, so this is a new beginning in one way, shape, or form for all of us. For some, this may be manifesting as physical changes, and others a change of heart, or mind. Even a subtle energetic shift that you may not notice for another few weeks, or months.

Gemini recognises the polarity within everything. The light and shadow, masculine and feminine, man-made and natural, movement and stillness. Regardless of what has been, this is a perfect time to integrate the duality within us, into our lives as we move forward to what is going to be. In our backpacks, taking our lessons learned and all of ourselves with us on our journey into this new paradigm.

Breathe. You’re doing fine. Don't stress it. You are safe and divinely protected. Integrate the air element by communicating openly and breathing deep.

With this Gemini Full Moon energy, you can benefit from focussing on:

🧡 Where in your life do you need to slow down, or take action? Find a balance between both that feels comfortable for you. Make the balance a priority—like keeping hydrated and eating leafy greens. 😉

🧡 What parts of yourself are you neglecting? Take some time to reflect on the last few months, then compare it to the last few years. Now compare it to where you are now. What makes you feel good and what makes you feel uncomfortable and ‘bad’? Act on the latter.

🧡 Check in with your goals and your desires. Sit down and make a plan. Put clear intent and action behind that plan.

🧡 Observe. Open up space for new perspectives and knowledge to come to visit.

The frequency of victimhood and pain is starting to fade out. The energy and consciousness of the collective has been shifting. Epiphanies, dreams, people we meet, symbols etc, are not there for you to ignore. As they are the recognisable catalysts for this energetic shift to flow and physically integrate into our lives.

Love, light, and all the chaos in between 🌀💫

Things are shaking up this ♊️Full Moon in Gemini♊️. With Mercury in Retrograde it’s not really that surprising if everything feels that much more intense at the moment. Events, thoughts and yours (or other's actions) that happen around this time hold power to arise truths that are beneficial for you and anyone else involved to be aware of. 🌕

We can use this fairly chaotic Mercury Retrograde energy in a way that is productive, fun and insightful this Supermoon. We may be tempted to ‘spit the dummy’ or be feeling a little stuck in some way. Whether that be a relationship, a situation at home or at work, your car's broken down and you’re stranded, or you're literally just glued to your bed every morning. But Gemini is a fun, verbal sign and this Gemini Full Moon brings a deeper awareness and ability to communicate lovingly and openly. With the Gemini energy we are more supported when faced with the decision of whether to respond or react - if we just remember to stop for a moment and breathe. Be mindfully aware of what you say, what you do and how you listen.

Now is a good times to spend some quality time with people you really care about. Have those raw, truthful conversations with people (that sometimes are hurtful, but healing). Go and do something spontaneous that brings you great joy. Try that new thing you’ve been wanting to for ages but haven’t gotten around to doing. Whether you’re alone or with a group of people, indulge in whatever experience you’re having and give yourself permission to have fun and be light-hearted.

Using Doreen Virtue’s Angel Guidance cards, we got ‘Joy’, ‘cleanse and detoxify’ and ‘play’. Reminding us that a joyful outlook brings a sense of freedom and peace. You cannot fail if you choose a path of joy. We must be aware of how things we consume affect our energy levels and mood. Now is a perfect time to cut down on drugs, alcohol, to***co and certain foods so we can be more clear with our messages, our thoughts and our actions. If we cloud our minds with mind-altering things, it’s harder to recognise our truth (and have genuine, lasting feelings of joy). Also, harness that Gemini energy and go and play. The Mercury Retrograde energy may be making you feel fatigued, irritable and quite frankly a little depressed. Don’t wait until you have free time. Wherever you are right now - laugh, dance, crack a joke. We wonder why kids are so happy and free - it’s because play is a priority. It’s a necessary part of us as a child and an adult.

Go play, have fun and communicate no matter how daunting it is.

🌙🦂 We are in the flow of the 2017 New Moon in Scorpio 🦂🌙

This New Moon brings the dark, mysterious, intense, emotional Scorpio energy. Things may start to break and most definitely, so will any self-sabotaging, closed-minded illusions we have created. There is no better time to retreat a little and go to the deepest parts of ourselves - don’t let anything go unnoticed. It’s time to process all that’s been left unturned and neglected.

With Scorpio being an intuitive water sign, this New Moon in Scorpio is a powerful time to ask ourselves what are we passionate about? How are we sabotaging ourselves or those around us? What/who have we been neglecting?

Once we start looking deeper into our minds and hearts we begin to find more insight into the deepest and darkest parts of ourselves - why we do the things we do, belief systems that may be causing really sh*tty, toxic situations and patterns to manifest in our lives.

Although it may be difficult to ask ourselves the hard questions and to take the time to dive into our own emotions, thoughts and beliefs - the healing power of reflection means we gain deeper awareness and knowledge of the self. Allowing us to then make more choices and changes out of enlightenment and love.

Using the Messenger Oracle cards from Ravynne Phelan, we drew ‘Nourish the Soul’ and ‘Challenge Your Perceptions’. Reminding us to sing, play and dance. Life isn’t meant to be boring and colourless. Dive into our senses - feel, hear, touch, taste and see. And while we are diving into all sides of ourselves, no matter how frightening, we should question our own thoughts, judgements and beliefs. If we only allow ourselves to see one angle of a situation, we restrict the broadening of our own horizons and block ourselves from empathy, understanding and opportunities. Try and see the bigger picture in all things and question your own thoughts and conclusions.

You never know what clarity you might uncover and what growth and positive change it may bring..

Working with nature to promote relaxation and wellbeing.

🍃✨ Hello my friends ✨🍃

With the grounding Full Moon in Ta**us and the deep and emotional Scorpio Season, sensitivities are heightened and it is the perfect time to ground and see things for everything how they are.

Ta**us energy is very pragmatic and grounding; but at times can be very stubborn and rigid. I encourage you to slow down and be very mindful and aware of what you are doing and how you are feeling. Create space for yourself to be with ALL of your emotions, and be one with exactly where you are in your life now. If your foundation of self-worth and self-awareness is based on the belief that you are only worthy when you are this, or you can only reach true happiness and contentment if your life is like that. When you are not like this, or when life is not like that, you will be discouraged and upset.

We can try so hard to get things done and get to a certain place but if we don’t fully accept how and where we are now, we are just running from our own unwanted reality. Which is still exactly that - reality.

To have light, you must have dark. You are all of these things. To have light in your life, you cannot try and suppress the dark. You can use your own light to see your “shadow” for exactly what it is - a part of you that shapes you and is giving you useful wisdom that you would not otherwise have (I cannot begin to comprehend how divine the timing of all this is after being at a workshop and talking with people this week about the shadow self).

Feel your earthly roots grounding you into this world and into this life. For you are loved, needed and hold a beaming light and an intense dark inside of you and when the two are equally accepted and combined, you are then completely and wholeheartedly your true, authentic self.

We can’t be all things, all the time, to all people - not even to ourselves. Ease your expectations of yourself and those around you for we are perfect humans doing our perfectly imperfect things. You are worthy. We all are. Exactly how and where we are right now.

Using Ravynne Phelan’s ‘Messenger Oracle’ cards we got - 'Be without malice', 'Know you belong' and 'Time to ground".

If you have been hurt or you have been discouraged by something, it is normal to feel let down and that you are not worthy. But things happen and regardless of how we feel or what it is, that never takes our or anyone else’s worthiness of being loved and respected. Be mindful that you are not having thoughts or acting out of spite when you are having negative feelings. You have a place and a purpose in this world. You do not have to change how you are or how you feel just to be accepted or to belong. You kick ass exactly how you are. Moments of uncertainty and chaos are unavoidable. The only thing you can really control in life is how you react to things and how you treat yourself and others. When you feel like things are totally out of control or you’re at an inner war with yourself, go out into nature, take your shoes off, put your phone down, and breathe in life! For you are just as much a beautiful, mysterious creation of this Earth just like the sky, the ocean, the trees and the flowers.

Take small, powerful and insightful steps this Full Moon. You are life. You are worthy. You are whole. You are fine exactly how you are. Flow, ground, relax.

When you build a house, you don’t just take a hammer - right? You take a toolbox filled with all these different tools to help make your job easier. If all you have is a hammer, every problem that comes your way will look like a nail. It’s the same with life.

You can’t build a life with only one tool in your toolbox. Some of these tools in your life toolbox can be mindfulness, meditation, exercise, art, writing, screaming into a pillow, and many other techniques that you can choose and learn that work for you to help you process emotions, accept and flow with change, combat unhealthy attachments and neutralise toxic thought patterns and habits. Life is a challenge and we can choose to equip ourselves with the necessary tools to deal with dark times.

I’ve spent years putting tools in my coping toolbox and I’m now here to help you find the tools that you want in yours. I’m here to help you awaken your own innate power to heal yourself and brighten up your dark using healthy coping mechanisms and holistic practices.

Give me a PM or flick an email to nowandzenhealings@gmail.com if you’re interested in creating your own toolbox and becoming the you that you were born to be and creating a life filled with acceptance, inner peace and strength.

Love and light to all -
💖✨ Renae ✨💖
