Letting go is essentially a profound acceptance of the present moment. To be able to accept what is, we have to relinquish our hold on how we wish things to be.

The next full 🌕 moon is a supermoon and a blue moon.* The official peak time for this full moon phase is Monday, August 19, 12:25 p.m. Eastern.
- Because supermoons are slightly closer to Earth, the moon will appear full and extra large in the night sky beginning this weekend. 🎉
- This month will start a series of full supermoons through November.

Left to its old patterns, the mind will continue its reactivity and keep you functioning on autopilot. … The shift comes when we change our relationship to the options that keep popping up in our mind when difficult things happen.

The full 🌕 moon is a time of peak illumination; full-light views of our heart desires. As well as a cyclical opportunity for us to be aware of our own fullness, our capacity and our light.
- The full 🌕 moon is when when the moon is aligned directly opposite the sun.
- Imagine the energy of being aligned with the source of light and warmth that makes Life possible.
This heightened energetic state can serve as an opportunity for us to see our desires in full view, and to get clarity of our longed-for aspirations.
- This is an opportunity to hold space with everything we are feeling (“the good, the bad and the ugly”) and imagine ourselves being aligned with the source of light and warmth that makes Life possible.
- Even as we self-compassionately remember that we cannot do it all and sometimes having faith breaks our hearts. 💗
Whether you’re keeping a journal or writing as a meditation, it’s the same thing. What’s important is you’re having a relationship with your mind.

Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within …Each condition I welcome transforms me
“Unconditional” by Jennifer Welwood
And becomes itself transformed
Braveheart, each condition, every experience and situation has the power to comfort and/or transform us — when we can hold on loosely.
- We can reframe and redefine compromises (and disappointments) within the parameters we need — doable — instead of some version of perfection or unsustainable expectation.
If we all hold on to the mistake, we can’t see our own glory in the mirror because we have the mistake between our faces and the mirror; we can’t see what we’re capable of being.

🌕 Full Moon Prompts: Abide with the moon (outdoors or looking through a window); create full moon art as you ponder your desires in full view, and to get some clarity of your longed-for aspirations, adding notations and relevant quotations.
