I am so excited about the Beaver Full Moon coming up. I swear every moon I get so excited about for so many different reasons. But this one feels so in alignment with life right now, and the cycles that I am walking through right now. Sometimes, I have to find my way to the energy of the universe. Sit with it long enough that I can tap in and ground into the natural cycle of life. Usually, because I am not grounded enough in general.
But I have been steadily losing myself to the natural rhythm of life in such a real way, that I am noticing that energy flowing so naturally! Yall, I am over the fucking moon excited about this. Because it is something that I have been actively working on for a long time. sweet victory. *She says with a fist pump.*
So lets talk about it.
The Beaver Moon.
The beaver moon was originally named by northwest Pacific native tribes. It got its name because this was the time they would start putting out their beaver traps before the water started to freeze or move slower. The vibe around this moon calls for release and refresh. Preparing for the colder months, stocking up what could weather the freeze, and getting rid of anything that wouldn’t. This is late work by candlelight, deep conversation in the early morning, (The dark is an excellent place to go inward and reflect after all) the pattering of little feet in layers of fur, and the hustle of getting ready.
This is a time of releasing anything that will not weather the next phase of life. The power of this amazing moon lays in reflection. Taking a good hard look at life, and allowing the energy of release to infuse your life. No this is not a time of great action based on intuitive thought. This is a time to let the energy permiate. Look at your day. What feels right? What feels like it needs to go?
This looks like, ‘Does my morning routine ignite the feminine/masculine energy I need to get through my day’. This looks like ‘My interaction with the people around me, do I like those? Are they lifegiving?’. ‘This thing that I do, is keeping me from my goals, it feels stagnant, how can I remove this’
We are taking stock of the little things. The things we miss through the rest of life and transitions. But here lays true power. The power to only keep that which serves you, and get rid of everything that is keeping you from being the person you want to be.
What are we doing?
Ritual work! Release those habits that are holding you back. Release the relationships that are not making your heart happy. Rituals are amazing for this.
Heart felt conversation with someone you care about.
Ferment foods, or make tinctures, for the colder weather coming up. This is a great way to ground in the energy. Sickness? No, that does not get us where we are going. Let’s make sure we have enough medicine to get through the flu season. And of course, have all the yummy things we need to keep the gut microbiome healthy.
Take a fucking walk. What is people’s aversion to this? Get up, go outside, spend time in the quiet, and ground yourself in nature, the feeling of going inward. Great time to reflect.
Practice deep breathing. Focusing on feeling rooted and secured.
Practice looking at the resources you do have, and become deeply rooted in the thankfulness of those things. Gratitude journaling is really good for this.
Beavers work collectively. This is an amazing time to reach out to loved ones and share intentions, and connect with them. Make sure those relationships are sitting where they need to.
Now is the time to Hygge the fuck out of your home. Warm blankets, pine, cedar, or cinnamon-scented candles, or incense. Slippers, cozy pillows, Journals, yummy pens, tea, and comforting foods. Its time to create that cozy, settled, reflective energy in your home. This is a good time to do your fall decorating if you’re into that as well.
Beavers are master builders. This means their foundations are sturdy as hell. Take time to reflect on the foundations you’re laying in your own life. Journal the goals or “foundations” you want to set. This is a good time to muster up that 5 sense manifestation technique. Sometimes starting with the end in mind, allows you to see what is not working in your life now.
