Does the Full Moon make you crazy?

Hello and welcome to my newsletter this week :)
 
On the 24th February it will be the New Moon, a time for starting projects and thinking about what you want to bring into your life to make you happy. The New Moon helps you to recognise the blessings in your life and be grateful for all the little things that bring you happiness.
 
Even though it may seem at times that things don't work out the way you hoped they would, somewhere deep amongst the sadness you may feel about a situation, there is a hidden blessing, something that you would have missed if you didn't stand back for a moment and look at it from all angles. It is these little hidden blessings that can sometimes be so difficult to notice, that can give us the greatest joy. Take this moment to think about something that happened in your life, that you felt at the time was difficult to deal with, but that now looking back, you realise that by seeing the bigger picture you can also see the blessings that situation brought you and that you are a stronger person for those blessings.
 
My friend told me of a technique to help you to bring more blessings into your life and to create the life you really want, I'm sure he won't mind me sharing it with you. It's about creating your own world, a world where you are exactly who you want to be and you can do whatever you want to do. You make up the rules, you decide what path to choose, and then you experience everything that you want in your life in the world you have created. To do this, take some time out for yourself - I usually visit my world whilst in the bath, as that is the only time I can really get to myself with a young baby in tow :) But you can do it at any time that is best for you, during meditation or even for an hour before you get up in the morning (you start the day feeling much happier that way). Close your eyes and imagine yourself in your world, picture something that will make you happy and think about all the details, the little things like how it makes you feel, any sounds or smells associated with it. Really experience it using all of your senses. Stay in that moment as long as you want to then little by little, bring parts of that experience into your normal everyday life, and before you know it new blessings will appear for you and you actually start living the life you want and achieve what you experienced in your world. You can go back to your world at any time when you need to escape, when you need to find a new meaning in your life, when you need to feel happy. Sometimes the things you are experiencing in your world may not manifest in your real world, maybe the timing will never be right, but that doesn't mean you can't benefit from the excitement that that experience brings you, and maybe one day it will become a reality - when the timing is right, even if it only lasts for a single day. One single day can give you a lifetime of memories.
 
So, on this New Moon, create your special world and start to experience everything you want to achieve and become in your life, and don't hold back. It's all to do with the Law Of Attraction, first you have to experience it and feel it, then the universe feels it in your life and sends it to you. You are only limited by your dreams and your imagination.
 
Another way to do this is to create a vision board. If you can remember making a scrapbook when you were young, then this works in the same way. Go through old magazines and cut out things that interest you, like your dream home or the perfect furniture. Think about those things you wanted to create in your life and draw them on your vision board. Your vision board can be as big as you want it to be, some people like to put them up on the wall or tape them to their fridge, whatever feels right for you. That is your homework for this week :-) Next week we will talk about manifesting what is on your vision board or in your world into reality.
 
Here is your angel reading for this week, taken from the Archangels Oracle Cards and Angel Therapy Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue:
 
'All Is Well -  Archangel Jeremiel: Everything is happening exactly as it is supposed to, with hidden blessings you will soon understand. Sometimes, what appears to be a problem is actually an answered prayer in disguise. When we ask for help, Heaven may dismantle the old to make room for the new. During this time of change, practice relaxation methods such as yoga, deep breathing, exercise and meditation. Ask me to make your transition smooth and harmonious for everyone involved. And know that this change is for the better!'
 
'Singing and Dancing -  Express yourself and awaken your psychic senses through the magical power of music and movement. The angels send you this card because they see the need for creative expression and balance of work and play. Singing and dancing are powerful ways to open your creative channels and feel the freedom of fully expressing yourself. You'll realise hidden talents and boost your self-confidence with these activities. Because musical expression is your soul's means of connecting with the physical realm, you'll also gain a greater sense of the Divinity within yourself. Many women discover their inner goddess through artistic forms of dancing such as belly or hula dance.'
 
Action steps: In a room where you won't be interrupted, turn down the lights and turn on your favourite music. Sway to the music, allowing yourself to move in any way that you'd like. Let your body lead the dance, without planning or thinking about your movements. Sing along with the song while you enjoy dancing in free-form expression.
 
Your crystal of the week is Turquoise and the message comes from the Crystal Oracle cards by Toni Carmine Salerno:
 
'Turquoise keywords: speaking one's truth, clear communication, purification.
Don't be afraid to speak your truth. A situation that is causing you concern can easily be resolved by simply expressing how you truly feel. You will not hurt or upset anyone by speaking your truth. In fact, speaking your truth has the opposite effect to what you think. By communicating your feelings and preferences clearly and honestly all concerned will be relieved. At present, others are rather confused because they sense that all is not the way you are purporting it to be. This magical Turquoise crystal will help you ease any fear you have regarding clear and true communication with either yourself or others.'
 
Have fun creating this week and take some time out to sing and dance too :)
 
I am away visiting family this week so won't be able to answer any emails until I return on 28th February so have a wonderful week and I will speak to you soon!
 
Love and angel blessings,
