As this podcast goes to air, the light of the moon is growing as we approach the first full moon of the year. The Full Moon is the height of the lunar cycle. The Full Moon often feels emotionally intense to our systems. It brings up energy and emotions that we can comfortably avoid at other times. On a Full Moon, though, everything is brought to light and we see ourselves in our full totality

Since this past New Moon in Capricorn occurred as you started the year, you’ve been reflecting on the  structure as you strengthen the tangible aspects of your path.. work and/or your business.

The question to be asking yourself right now is .. What creations need nurturing.. emotionally, materially and especially spiritually as we go into the full moon in Cancer.

Get ready to slow down and take care of yourself!

The Cancer Full Moon reminds you to be patient and cultivate trust in yourself. Feel your intuition, trust your process, and replenish your spirit with these vibrations.

The Cancer Full Moon is a time to honor your emotions, replenish your spirit, and call in unconditional love for yourself. 

One of my favorite crystals for this kind of energy is Rose Quartz which connects to your heart chakra and aligns it with the frequency of unconditional love. It brings about compassion and understanding when you meditate with it, amplifying your heart’s messages.

This year we see the year of the Tiger coming in. According to Susan Levitt, author of Taoist Astrology: A Handbook of the Authentic Chinese Tradition, Tiger years such as 2022 are all about going big or going home. They are a time of intense emotions and big decisions, because Tiger is known for its power, daring, and penchant for doing everything on a grand scale.

All of which is to say, this year will be full of opportunities for new ventures, adventures, and growth. This is a great time for taking action.  

All these cosmic forces and energy alignments, I talk about on my Energy Focus for the Week which you can find live on Sunday nights on Instagram and FB. 

As we move through these comic transitions, now is the time to clean up your energy with an energy clearing session.  Schedule one… in person or online. When you work with the energy body, it helps to release the old patterns and all that old stuff you carry around.

For when you start going within and connecting to your soul and your spirit, you will find your answers.  Empowered Spirit Private Mentoring Program.

In today’s episode, I am offering a Teaching from the Medicine Wheel for  the season of Winter.

I work with the Medicine Wheel as a way to offer myself a look at my life… my path…  that isn’t linear.  It offers a spiritual perspective to my life. The Medicine Wheel is a sacred symbol used by many Indigenous people, especially Native Americans,  to represent all knowledge of the universe. I offer a meditation to help you feel the energy of the North as you travel deep within.

Each direction on the Wheel constitutes a path of self-realization into the mysteries of life which can lead you to the very core of your being where you can make contact with your own High Self. Each path can help you to acquire the knowledge to work changes that will put meaning and purpose into your life, bringing enlightenment and fulfillment.

In Native American traditions each season contains specific attributes and lessons that can nourish you and your life. These understandings were formed when people were intrinsically connected to the Earth and her cycles. Humans were a part of the whole and had a depth of communion with Nature and life that may seem foreign to most people today. That may be because we believe ourselves removed or separate from the Earth. Once you learn about the seasons and Earth teachings you begin to see that the degree of separation is much less than perceived.

In the North you discover the original psychic wound that took you away from your passion and your gifts: what in shamanic lore is known as soul loss. You learn to explore your subconscious or underworld where you can mend your past, disarm limiting beliefs, receive psychic gifts, and acquire a power animal that enhances your instincts. Further, you recover your soul and passion for life and craft a conscious destiny. 

The North direction incorporates the color white, winter, wind, air, the elders, cedar, and the buffalo.  Although some teach the power animal is the Bear or the Hummingbird.

The North  brings you the lessons of using your potential and the magic of manifestation. This direction is the way of balance, knowledge, trust, “sacred wisdom,” and abundance. It offers you the time to go within for your dreams and visions and to receive the messages of your ancestors. The direction of the North is a time of great healing.

The seasons compliment and build upon each other. What is dreamed and visioned is  developed in the North. It is then birthed in the East and comes into fullness in the South. You then come to the West where you harvest what you planted, developed and gave birth to during the previous seasons of the year. It is a full and complete cycle.

A Medicine Wheel can best be described as a mirror within, which everything about the human

condition is reflected back. 

It does require courage to look into the mirror and really see what is being reflected back about your life. 

It helps you with your creative “Vision”, to see exactly where you are in life and which areas you need to work on and develop in order to realize your full potential. 

It is a tool to be used for the upliftment and betterment of humankind, healing and connecting to Mother Earth and the Infinite.

Today, the Medicine Wheel can become a major symbol of peaceful interaction among all living beings on Mother Earth… representing harmonious connections.

The Medicine Wheel and its sacred teachings can assist you along the path towards mental, spiritual, emotional and physical enlightenment.

Aho.

Thanks for listening!

To your Spirit,

Terri
