New Moon, Who Dis?

My New Moon Routine

 I started getting into tracking the cycles of the moon this year. It might have been a side effect of quarantine, but I find that harnessing the power of the moon actually really helps to bring manifestations into reality in a more predictable, cyclical manner.

It also helps me feel more in tune with what is going on in the universe.

It’s no secret that the moon rules the tides and humans are 70% water, so doesn’t it only make logical sense humans would also feel some sort of shift based on the moon phases, even on a subconscious level?

I know, it's still weird, but bear with me!

Think of a new moon as the start of a brand-new cycle. The ground is ripe for planting new seeds. What are you looking to bring into your life in the next 6 months?

Think not just in terms of what you are looking to receive, but also in terms of what you are looking to provide. How can you make an earnest impact in these areas in terms of helping the people around you? You know you are in true alignment when the act of giving feels better than the act of receiving, and this also happens to be the fastest way to manifest anything you want.

Here are a few other recommendations I have for taking advantage of all the the full moon has to offer:

 Meditate in the morning, ideally outside if you have the space

New Moons are full of possibilities, and soaking in this energy to visualize what you are looking to create magnifies the potential for realization. I recommend meditating every single morning, but doing a specific new moon meditation (which can be found on YouTube) can have especially potent consequences. 

Make a list of the top 3 things you would like to bring in

 I know it can be tempting to make a longer list, but try to think honestly about the one thing from each area of your life you truly desire and would like to see in the next 6 months. We are in July, so think about where you want your life to look like in January 2021.

 If done regularly, you will get to select 36 new manifestations per year—do you realize this tremendous amount of growth potential? We haven’t even gotten to what you do for full moons, which involves letting go of 36 burdens… prepare to have your life changed, all because you decided to pay attention to the lunar calendar. 

Dedicate a Specific Notebook to Your Practice

 In order to truly track your manifestation, dedicate one notebook specifically to tracking your new moon / full moon manifestations. This way, you can keep track of what you already wished for, and watch as your visualizations come to pass in your actual reality. Don't worry, there will be an Allison Ziggy specific notebook you can use one day!! (OK, yes, this might be one of my new moon wishes...)

Write Down your top accomplishments from the past 6 Months

This helps illustrate the manifestation time period and reminds you of what you have already accomplished in the past. It can be so easy to overlook our progress when we haven’t yet reached our ideal destination, but it is always important to honor where we are at currently in the journey. I also like to identify my top 3 manifestations from this time period, as there is a magic to be harnessed when it comes to the number 3.

 Cleanse your Space

Do whatever feels right here, but I have really enjoyed using sage and then following it up with Palo Santo. Sage completely clears out the energy in an area, so you need to seal it back up with something sweet / positive. I will write another article on my practice of using sage, but it’s fairly simple to use and nothing to be frightened of. Unless you're say, an evil spirit or something, but otherwise sage is your friend. 

Here are a few things NOT to do during a new moon:

Don’t wish for the same thing every new moon

This indicates you don’t believe your manifestation from the previous month is going to come true, and actually keeps delaying the process. True growth is measured by evolving your desires into new ones, not casting the same ones out into the universe month after month after month because you don’t believe you possess the potential to actualize them. Trust and release because that's how you receive.

Don’t Think About What Isn’t Currently Working

 New moons are about what you want to bring in, so thinking about your problems only creates more problems. Spend the day entirely focused on what is working and visualizing where you would like to see yourself six months from now.  Think about who you want to be, not why you aren’t that person already.  

Don’t Try to Cast a Spell

Just… No. Spells are so creepy. If you have to cast a spell on something for it to work, it’s probably not meant for you in the first place. It’s also bad karma, so I kindly advise refraining.

And with that, I leave you to create your own new moon ritual. Have fun with it! The only way to do it wrong is to not have fun (or to cast a spell...) but this is your time, so enjoy yourself and get ready for your dreams to come true!

I hope you are ready to bring some truly amazing things into your life—I know I am!
