Hello!
Are you ready for the first blue moon, total lunar eclipse in 150 years (in the Americas)? Pretty exciting stuff! We started January 2018 with a full moon on the 1st, and now, here we are again.  So let’s start with the facts:

What makes this a ‘Blue Moon’:
When there are two full moons in a calendar month it is commonly called a “Blue Moon”. January 2018 stormed in with two full moons, but sadly February will have none. :(

The last Blue Moon occurred in July 2015, but 2018, we'll experience two of them, a phenomena that won't happen for another 19 years. (The second Blue Moon this year will occur in late March.)

What makes this a ‘Super Moon’:
A super moon occurs when the moon is full or new, and closest to earth. The full moon on January 31st will be the third full super moon since December 3rd. The full super blue moon on the 31st will pass through the earth’s shadow, giving us a total lunar eclipse.

A Blue Moon combined with a Super moon is rare. Super moons generally only occur once every 14 months and will not happen again until January 2019. The last time all of these events occurred simultaneously in the Western hemisphere was 1866. You remember 1866, right?  The US House of representatives passed the 14th Amendment - The Civil Rights Act, Andrew Johnson was President, and Jesse James completed his first robbery. 

Wait, Isn’t this also a ‘Blood Moon’?
Lunar eclipses are always interesting, though the "blood moon" is a much rarer event. Instead of a total eclipse, the moon is bathed in a red-orange hue of refracted light coming from around the Earth. Although some people think of this as a bad omen, but according to Indian mythology, a red Moon is luckier than a regular Full Moon. (We will discuss this further in this months Full Moon Class.)

What this means for you:
Full moons are times of awakening and completion, and everything is magnified. January 31st is a powerful time to recognize the amazing opportunities before you and celebrate your recent success!

The upcoming moon will be the regal sign of Leo. This moon will foster and increases your desire for strength, equality and good things. Some people are calling this event “The Superwoman Full Moon” - this full moon will emanate special and rare feminine lunar energy, infused with the creativity, leadership, and dignity of fire sign Leo. 

This moon is also about ‘who you are’ and who you are becoming. You will probably find yourself more willing to try new things, be more open and honest about your true feelings and feel more driven to be the best you, during this powerful phase.

And heads up Empaths!
It’s likely this coming full moon/lunar eclipse, will bring heightened sensitivity and more intuitive dreams.  Eclipses affect our personal fields just as they change the earth’s electromagnetic energy field. So expect to extra intuitive and more emotional than normal. Overall, this will be a dramatic time for most people as the lunar eclipses bring up emotional and internal issues to be examined and healed. 

If you want to learn more join us for the Full Moon online class. There will be a guided meditation, pdf of best stones to use during the next 28 day cycle and of course a deeper forecast.

I usually begin my guided meditations with several deep breathes, I’m sure you’ve heard me in class or on audios, “Breathe in through the nose and gently exhale through the mouth, like you are blowing out a candle. Nice, easy and gentle.”

Deep breathing helps to slow the mind and relax the body. It also supports your overall health. Did you know deep breathing can be done on its own or in mind-body exercises? Some of these exercises include meditation, yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi or QiGong.

Benefits
Deep breathing included with mind and body exercises can help you lose weight, feel great, reduce stress, and stay mindful. The oxygen that you bring in through deep breathing from your abdomen helps to generate new cells, and you are also releasing toxins when you exhale. #Win

Meditation
Meditation is breathing in stillness, without movement, making it an ideal activity for everyone. This less strenuous approach to deep breathing uses breath to help focus the mind towards calm and peace. 

In a world of stress, mediation is a very valuable mind-body practice for balance and sanity. If you are not meditating yet, you can begin today. Click here to see easy, guided meditations Serenity offers or here to the Youtube channel to meditate along with Lady Roxanna.

Deep Breathing 
Deep breathing is used in all of the above practices. It is the process of intentional inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. This provides oxygen for positive cell regeneration and the elimination of toxins in the body, as it calms and centers the mind. 

Simple deep breathing exercises can be done anywhere, at any time and requires no special equipment or physical effort. I’ve listed  one example of a simple deep breathing exercise below.

Simple Deep Breathing Set

1. Let go of all thoughts
2. Breathe in through your nose
3. Hold that breath for about 3 seconds 
4. Exhale through the mouth, (gently) 
5. Repeat 3-6 times
6. Typically, it is suggested to use a 4:7:8 pattern: 4 seconds to inhale, 7 seconds to hold, and 8 seconds to exhale. Never push or strain. The breathing should be gentle and relaxed. 
   

​
Practice Everyday
Deep breathing practiced every day in the form of any of these exercises, or by simply taking the time to repeat the above sequence several times a day, can have a positive effect on your physical health. Another perk of deep breathing is it promotes calmness and emotional wellbeing.

Used with regular Reiki sessions, a healthy diet, and exercise, you can easily move into a state of internal balance and calmness. 

Reiki Blessings,

Sarah

I just posted a quick video on Youtube!

The June full moon will be the "smallest" moon this year, and will look somewhat Amber from it's position in the night sky. 

The sun will be in Gemini as the moon will be Sagittarius - making for a new,  fun loving surge of energy. To learn more, including which gemstones and crystals to work with during the month, check out the FULL MOON Mini Master Class and Forecast. Each class is held live, online and recorded for play back. It also includes a new guided meditation for releasing and a PDF of gemstones to work with during the 28 day cycle.

I have been holding these classes every month for the last four years. We track cycles and energy trends as the planets move through their orbits. The planets and the moon affect people, places and events more than you might think and by watching these heavenly alignments you can pick the best times for starting new relationships, projects or taking a vacation. This isn't your normal horoscope, this is astrology coupled with intuitive guidance.

To learn more check out the class or send me an email to day.

Reiki Blessings,

 Hello Friends,
How have you been feeling lately? So Many people have been coming to me with odd complaints and problems, are you feeling it too?  I decided it was time for another Spiritual Awakening class to address some of these questions and complaints.  

Now let me state up front: This class is not intended to replace medical treatment or care. This is also not to be considered as medical advice, nor am I diagnosing your condition. Please seek medical attention if you are unwell. That being said, there are a lot of things we associate with ascension and processing higher energy. I tried to include a bit of science, some tips on handling this new energy, (besides my standard meditate and drink more water, lol) and offer you some simple ideas on how to be more comfortable as we move further along the spiritual path. I also shared a few stones that may help this process along and straight forward answers to some of the more common questions I am asked about this process.  Read more here: Class Info

If you missed the live class it is available as 2 video files, watchable from the Serenity Course Channel. If you can watch Youtube you will be able to view these files. To view the videos, simply purchase  the class  (it's $22usd) and you will then be invited to view the files. The invitation will be sent to the email address you use, so plan for that. You can then watch the videos over and over as much as you like.

I hope this class is helpful for you and eases some of the discomfort you may be experiencing while working on your spiritual path. Spiritual awakening can be challenging, but it is also part of the process of evolving.


Reiki Blessings,
