Three Full Moon Rituals..

You may or not be aware but tonight is a full moon and I decided that I would do a blog about the rituals that I perform when it’s a full moon.

Firstly, there are two moons in which I perform rituals for, them being a new moon and a full moon. The difference being; new moons are for manifesting and bringing in things to your life and a full moon being for letting go and removing things from your life. I love a full moon as I love to get rid of things in which no longer serve me, whether people, things or ways of life.

Before, I get onto the rituals I want to mention that the full moon is one to definitely affect your mood so take everything with a pinch of salt over the next and last few days. You also may not feel yourself, whether you feel like you need to cry this is completely okay, just let it out, this is totally normal. Also, because of the moon affecting your mood, be careful and do not rush into any decisions over the next couple of days.

The first ritual and my main ritual in which I always perform is writing a list of things I want to get rid of from my life and then I burn the bit of paper in order to completely let go of everything on the paper. I feel like this completely helps me to let go of things in which no longer serve me as I’ve written them physically on paper and watched them burn away from my life.

Another ritual in which should always be done, is to put your crystals under the moon light, whether that’s on a windowsill or actually outside at one with earth. The moon is amazing at recharging and re-energizing your crystals and getting rid of all the negative and bad energy previously on them.

My final ritual in which I love to perform on a full moon is to create my own moon water. If you don’t know what moon water is. It’s basically normal tap water that you put in a container under the moon on a full moon which makes it moon water. It can be used for several things such as put into a spray bottle and sprayed onto your skin to revitalize your skin, or it can be drunk to revitalize your body.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Sunday read, I apologise that there was no blog last Sunday, I wasn’t very well and decided to take a whole day off of social media. I have a few more spiritual blogs lined up and may even do a blog on my new business in which I am starting up on Wednesday, if you are interested in finding more out about it, it is an online self care shop and the link to the Instagram is… http://www.Instagram.com/ems_selflove_shop and the link to my normal Instagram is http://www.Instagram.com/emwinn_blog . I hope you have a lovely rest of your evening and hope to see you next week.

Lots of love, stay safe,

No Self Care? No excuse.

When you think of self care. What do you think of? Face masks? Candle lit bath? Spa weekend away? Yes, you are correct BUT this is only one way of 6 different types of self care. You can always take time for self care. So, let me tell you all 6 types of self care and what is classed as each one..

1) The main way of Self Care is Pampering.

A face mask
A hot bath
A hair mask
Painting your nails

2) Physical. Physical self care is so important, you have to move your body and have fresh air daily in order to stay healthy.

Stretching
Going for a walk
Healthy food
Sleep
Different forms of exercise

3) Emotional. Realising your feelings. Understand your emotions. Know that it is normal to feel this way.

Stress management
Have a little cry
Forgive yourself
Have a few deep breathes
Be kind to yourself
Journal

3) Social Self Care is so important. It can range from learning to say no, to talking to friends to take the weight off your shoulders.

Know your boundaries. You don’t feel up to going out? Say no. That’s okay!
Unfollow people on social media who don’t make you feel good about yourself.
Communicate. If you need someone to talk to, talk to someone. Technology is amazing. You need someone, call them.
Time together. If you feel low, go and grab a coffee with someone.
Ask for help. Be honest with yourself, if you need someone, tell them.

4) Spiritual self care. This doesn’t apply to everyone. If you don’t class yourself as spiritual, please don’t knock it until you try it.

Time alone
Manifestation letter
Full moon/new moon rituals
Tarot card/angel card pulls
Meditation

5) Personal self care. Do something that you love. Something for you. Take time to chill, and do something that makes you happy.

Painting
Drawing
Colouring
Reading
Gardening

6) Self Care through space around you. Where you are living. I always like to say, tidy home, tidy mind. Messy space, messy life.

Tidy your room
Hoover
Have a spring clean
Clean the bathroom
Change your bedding

I hope you’ve enjoyed this blog and learning about the different types of way you can care for your self. I hope you put them into practice in this coming week. Why not give yourself at least half an hour each day for any sort of self care. Remember listen to your body. Have a lovely week!!

Stay safe, lots of love,

February, Gratitude. March, Manifesting.

Tomorrow is a fresh start, a new month, new goals. But, before we prep for a new month and make new goals, aspirations and manifestations we must look back on last month and recognise what we have already achieved and be grateful for them.

What did I achieve in February?

As February has been a time for the weather getting warmer, I have been able to spend more time outside, which is something that makes me very happy! I have been walking near enough everyday and on one occasion even managed to walk over ten miles in a couple of hours. I have even started to pick up running which is something I have always pushed to the side because I’m too tired or am not feeling it. On several occasions I have even ran to my local park to do a morning workout, doing anything from ab crunches and squats. Exercise is something I don’t want to do but I absolutely love the feeling after a workout, so I am so proud of myself for pushing through and achieving this most days.

What am I grateful for?

I am grateful for so many things right now, such as due to the this pandemic and being advised to stay home, I had to return to my hometown to live with my mum and sister, which I don’t normally do. I have also been able to focus all my time on myself as there is literally nothing else to do. I have been able to work on my spirituality, my blog, my YouTube, my Instagram and all things that make me happy!

Now I have realised what I am already grateful for right now, I can make plans for the future of what I want to achieve..

What are my goals for March?

My goals for March are to keep up the fitness, and to still spent so much time outside as it’s my happy place. Ideally I would love to set a goal everyday to do 10,000 steps, but obviously everyone needs a rest day. This month I also want to book my driving test for after the pandemic so I can get it done and dusted and pass it sooner rather than later. I also want to keep saving at the rate I am because the more I safe the sooner I will get my own home!

What am I manifesting for March?

At the beginning of the year I did a tarot card reading for the whole year, where I get one card per each month of the year and my card that I received for March was a card implying that this month was going to bring change. So, I feel like my manifestations for this month are for the positive change to enter my life and make it better. I am manifesting for happiness and health for myself, family, friends and all around them.

I have absolutely loved making this blog. It’s made me so grateful for things in my life right now, even though things are crazy right now, there is always something to be grateful for. It’s also made me so motivated to achieve my goals. I would love to know what you are grateful for right now and what you are manifesting for the month of March?

Let me know if you enjoyed this type of blog, as I can make it a monthly thing? Also, I have recently posted a “February Favourites” YouTube video all about my favourite purchases from February. If you are interested in taking a look please click the link below..

Make sure to take for yourself some time soon and realise what you are grateful for right now in this crazy world. Also, make sure to make some sort of goals for the next month to keep you motivated, even if it’s just making your bed everyday.

Please stay safe,

Lots of love,
