Manifesting with the moon can lead to a surprising journey. You wouldn’t think that starting a ritual would become easy or stick. Normally it takes determination and dedication which requires you to be totally tuned in and mildly obsessed, But rituals can also fall away easily. Like the whole New Years eve resolution commitments.
How many have slipped away from you?
As humans we are a fickle bunch. We get disappointed with our results and give up too easily. Even on the very things we desire the most. Since I started manifesting with the Moon Cycles, somewhat haphazardly, I have learned quite a lot about cycles and rhythms.
They happen all the time! Our behaviors and habits run in cycles. Our motivation has to have a rhythm. And our mind thinks in cycles as well, somewhat on a continuous loop. It is in our best interest to create a steady low pulsing rhythm for our mind that is focused on our truest desires. And that is why Moon Manifesting will change your life.
Moon Manifesting gives us time for quiet reflection and to observe the divine within us. We crave the opportunity to see what the universe has in store, but it is truly in our own hands to receive the things we seek.
Here is what I have learned that surprised me about manifesting with the moon.
1. Bonding with the Natural Rhythm of Life
I embodied the fact that I was a part of the universe, although just a speck upon this planet. It put me in touch with the ebb and flow of life. I understood more about how energy strengthens and fades within the moon cycle and within my own emotions. There are periods during the moon cycle that my emotions and commitments are stronger and times when it is less intense. This helped me create more balance in my life and become observant of the space of time in a month.
2. Things Must Die for New Things to Live
Moon cycles support the life cycles of many plants and creatures. Just like the cycle of life, our manifesting depends on letting old practices, beliefs and thought patterns die to allow the birth of new perspectives. If we want to manifest something we have never had or done, we need to make space for it and remove the old obstacles that have been holding us back. The full moon is a perfect time for reflection, forgiveness and acceptance before we create something new.
3. Ancestral practice
I had been on the spiritual path for years, yet when It came to my ancestral ties, I never thought much about them when it came to manifesting. My moon practice had a major shift in the beginning that enlightened me to the fact that if I made changes in my life it was not only for me, it was also for all my ancestors who had the same desires and struggles. I realized how important it was to call upon my ancestors for understanding and support in how certain patterns have played out In our family history.
This allowed for a practice of healing our family for the past and future.
4. Facing Challenges and Finding Solutions
I shouldn’t have been surprised that looking at challenges and finding solutions would be a major player in manifesting. It is the reason after all that I started the journey. My moon ritual enabled me to look fully at my life twice a month and hone in on what was working and not working. There was no more pushing things to the side. It gave me a chance to gently push myself further than I had before either searching for new things to support my desires or realize that they actually were something I no longer wanted. I gained clarity on a regular basis.
5. Commitment to Myself
Twice a month I had a formal commitment to myself, its like a twice a month date with destiny highlighted with a reminder in the Sky! Everything we do takes commitment. As a sober woman I have a commitment not to drink on a daily basis. If I want my life to have meaning I better be committing to things that are going to bring me spiritual and emotional growth. My ritual provides me with a chance to constantly recommit to the life I want to lead as a sober woman.
6.Fresh Start
Who doesn’t need a fresh start once in a while? When I started this monthly ritual it gave me the opportunity to have a fresh start every new moon and full moon. At the new moon it has been a chance to consider new avenues to pursue. Where do I want to go next, what am I lusting to try? The full moon has provided me with fresh starts in how I look at relationships and moving past trauma’s and painful memories. I use Ho’Oponopono in my practice so I clear my memories and spiritual vessel for new energy. I always feel lighter and brighter in my energy and outlook after ritual.
7. Connection and Balance
This moon practice has me feeling more connected to people, my guides and ancestors acknowledging our shared experiences and energies. It has given me the chance to balance my energy with others and master a more even exchange and flow. Leading up to new moon I’ve learned to soften and harness my feminine yin energy and as the new moon energy turns masculine and more yang closer to the full moon I’ve found a stronger energy within for connection to work more hustle into my mostly serene life. It’s taught me how to flow more with the energy I encounter.
These surprises have come as a bonus in my moon manifesting. Along with the many changes that have manifested in my life the past year and a half I have gained new freedom. I realize more frequently that it is easy to start over and manifest the things I currently desire. There is always possibilities and new perspectives to be discovered. These have been blessing in my life and the lives of the students who have walked the path with me. If you are thinking about starting a moon practice I would encourage you to begin. You will gain many surprises for yourself and enrich your life.
Love and Blessings,
Charlene

Where do you get your best ideas?
Have you had those lightning fast moments of brilliance that come when you least expect it and fill you with excitement.
The spark of creative inspiration.
The awesome solution to a problem that you have been slaving over that just pops into your mind in an instant.
I get my best ideas in the shower.
The white noise of the water is an excellent conduit to amplifying my creative thoughts. Recently they have been happening often and I write them down in a hurry so when I am ready to take action they are there to expand upon.
Creativity comes from within, uninhibited if we let it…
These thoughts come from my own intuitive guidance, insight for the next step in my life. First of all, Water is free flowing energy. Energy is all around us and within us, (think of science class and the atom) and thoughts are energy as well. I have learned a lot about energy in the past few years as I have become fascinated about how to release blocked or stagnant energy with Reiki and Life Coaching methods.
Releasing the stuck energy and negative thought patterns in order to be a success is a difficult and sometime long process.
Yet it can be as simple as taking a shower.
It seems crazy to say, right?
Well, try it.
What is your deepest desire?
Think about it the next time you shower.
What is keeping you from your deepest desire?
Think of the story you are living that tells you why you haven’t received your desired result. Think of the consistent thoughts you have around the story. How are they keeping you stuck in the same circular pattern of not being successful at receiving what you want?
Let all those thoughts be washed away from the shower. Watch them go down the drain one by one until their is no more obstacles and no more story.
There is only your deepest desire left.
How does it appear now?
Visualize in vibrant color, and let go of the obstacles…
Create the perfect vision in detail.
How does it feel different?
Do this several times in the shower and write down your great ideas.
This is your life to create.
Once you let go of any stuck energy and negative thought patterns you will be well on your way to getting spontaneous moments of great inspiration.
You will also begin to let go of fears, anxiety and stress that are born out of spending our day in the muck of negative thinking.
Fear , anxiety and stress will evaporate slowly the more you practice this exercise. As a result of letting go of negative thought patterns you free yourself to live a life full of Joy. Your dreams and visions are worth the few minutes of thought in the shower that would otherwise be filled with the grocery list or rehashing the argument you had with your family member.
Creativity on the Go…
Look for your action steps to manifest your desire as you go through your day. What are you noticing? Creativity doesn’t just happen when you sit down with pen and paper, paint or crafts.
Creativity happens in life.
People give us inspirational thoughts, they may step in and present us with an idea or offer to help with getting what we desire.
Manifest your dream by paying attention to the serendipitous acts that happen. Little cues that remind you of your deepest desire as you go through your day.
Become conscious of your thoughts .
The energetic impact of negative thinking is damaging to every part of your existence and life experience. It keeps you from being successful.
Allow creativity to show itself.
Stay glued in believing you will receive the experience you desire and you will be well on your way. Creative solutions surround you daily that can transport you to your greatest desire.
Love and Blessings,
Charlene ❤️🙏✨

4 Energy Worker Secrets for Empaths who Feel Powerless
I know, it may be hard to admit. But as an empath do you ever feel powerless? You wake up feeling ready for the day, looking forward to a light day at work and then someone walks in and sucks the life out of the room.They leave you feeling like you wish you had called in sick. Uneasy about a confrontation that involves sending them away you keep quiet and let the internal pressure rise.
Your level of uncomfortable vibes goes up as your peace goes down.
You can’t concentrate, never mind enjoy the easy day you had planned. Physically drained you feel the stress and tension in your neck and shoulders every time they enter the room. You wonder when you can look forward to the day when you no longer have to spend time with them.
The Energy Vampire has gotten control and it has been going on for far too long. As an Empath you have the superpower of being able to feel energy and the ability to shift it.
I know, you’ve tried everything to get them to leave you alone. You often excuse yourself in their presence. Under the pretense you have important work to attend to or a meeting soon. The more you walk away, the more urgent they become to follow you. You feel like you just can’t get a break and you feel the emotional and physical drain happening more often.
The first thing you need to do is acknowledge the fact that you have energetically given them permission to treat you this way.
Think back to the very first time you met them. How did you interact with them? Where you polite and giving all of your empathy to their particular story? Were you eager to please so you agreed with most of what they were saying, flaunting your supportive side?
Your thoughts are the energetic vibe your send out. The body language you use and the demeanor you have when you first meet someone sets up who has the power in the relationship.
And it is not never too late to change the energy of the relationship and still remain the wonderfully gifted and caring empath that you are to everyone.
If you find yourself in this situation there are several things you can do to regain your sense of control whenever you notice people are draining you. It is easier than you think to change the energy of the situation.
1. Energy Management to gain back control
The first thing is to start to consciously feel the energy around you. Most people have experienced walking into a room and becoming aware that an argument has taken place or something funny has just happened without actually being a witness with their own eyes.
Have you ever experienced this? You sense it through you own energy field and chakra system.
- Exercise: While you are sitting think about the energy surrounding you, What does it feel like? Then concentrate on how your energy feels? How does it change when you breathe in and out. Start paying attention to this on a regular basis. I promise you will start to learn to read the vibes that surround you.
- Once you learn how your energy feels, you can gain the ability to control it. This is done by exercises called grounding. Grounding is when you collect any negative energy, thoughts or body pain and send it through your body and down into the earth. It is easy to learn, simple to use and the best part is no one can tell you are doing it.
Although, the energy vampires will feel the shift, they won’t understand that it is you using your gift as an empath to move energy.
Grounding by itself has the ability to turn your day around when you use it. Most spiritual people understand that grounding connects us to the earth and gives us a sense of feeling present in our body but many do not realize that we are actually detoxing ourselves from errant energies.
This is the most important tool to put in your toolbox of empath skills. Grounding removes the electric charge to any situation. It returns you to a peaceful state of being.
2. Good Vibrations to Empower and Renew
The vibes you send out are as critical as the vibes you are receiving when you want to feel empowered. When you go into a situation and send out a vibe that is expecting negativity you will get negativity in return. Thoughts are energetic things.
The majority of the time you do not even realize you are sending out an expectation of negative receiving. Our internal vibe is set when we are very young. We experience life and our vibe matches the people around us.
If they are set to a low vibe we will match that vibe. Have you ever heard of the phrase “ You are most like the 5 people you spend the most time with” Well if your vibe is set higher you will feel other people pulling you down to their level if you are sensitive to energy. It is not a good feeling and difficult to protect yourself when you are unaware of its power.
You can raise your vibe by experiencing positive emotions on a regular basis. Some ways to accomplish this is to practicing gratitude, meditation, connecting with nature, prayer and healing trauma or forgiving damaging experiences of your past.
- Exercise : When you encounter someone who feels low energy to you and you want to gain back control, simple raise your vibe by breathing into your heart space and sending them love and gratitude with your exhale. It sounds crazy but if you practice this you will notice a change in their demeanor. They may appear to shift into a good mood or you will see them physically relax and you will feel the tension leave the room.
Practiced on a regular basis you will be able to breath fresh energy into your feelings around old relationships. You can’t change the other person or their vibe but you can change how you feel about them.
3. Finding your power through Wonder Woman
Body Language sends a Powerful Message as an empath you may often take a protective stance. Be conscious of the cues you are sending out. The more you open up your body and take up more space the more powerful you will appear.
The body language you display is important, people pick up on body cues instinctively. They unconsciously study you and quickly decide where you are in the relationship.
Here is some science in a Ted Talk with Amy Cuddy, Professor and Researcher from Harvard that explains Power Posing. It is important to work on you posture, stance , etc. When you feel powerless you try to take up less space by scrunching or trying not to bump into those around us. You may appear to be protecting yourself in some way with your arms, Deferring to those who appear to be more powerful.
Exercise: Practicing powerful poses such as the wonder woman stance for 2 minutes while you are alone will give you confidence to take more risk rather than playing it safe and effect a 25% decrease in cortisol and an increase in testosterone. You will appear authentic, with strong presence and by practicing, your body will change your mind and you will become powerful.
4. Be an intentional Observer and Peacemaker
You do not have to let someone disturb your peace. Practice detaching from your judgments and emotions. Your mind will still feel a little helpless sometimes. Let go of anger as quickly as you can, remind yourself that you are in charge of how people make you feel. When you ground the negative painful energy you are feeling you are able to become an observer of the situation.
Observe the energy surrounding you, integrate any feelings you have and allow the situation to play out. When you observe with the intention of feeling peace you will instantly feel better. Look for opportunities to find solutions that will make both parties happy.
Practice your energy work on a regular basis alone so that you are able to utilize it in the moment. Take the frantic and errantic energy out of situation and find peace in the moment.
You are secret energy worker.
It is in your power to gain back control. There is no reason to continue to allow energy vampires or anyone else to control your feelings or drain your physical energy.
Breathe into your heart space and send out love and gratitude, you can feel it and receive it in return. Allow your heart to burst with joy and feel at peace with the people and the world around you.
That is where your power lies.When you send that vibe into the world you change us all including the person with whom you felt powerless! This is your Empath gift have fun using it!
