On September 20 at 1:29 a.m. EST, the world started feeling the effects of the New Moon.

On September 22, Fall 2017 fell on the Northern Hemisphere.

As we embark into this brand new lunar cycle and brand new season, this is the perfect moment to go within, be done with the old, refresh, restart and step into the new. 🍁 Here’s how to take advantage of this wave of energy influencing the upcoming month.

Set your intention

Tonight after the sun goes down, write a list of all your intentions for the month ahead. Take into consideration your personal life, work life, love life, social life, internal life, family life, creative life — anything that matters to you. Invite someone to join in (maybe it’s someone you intend to connect with more in the weeks to come). Make delicious food, listen to some grounding tunes. When you feel your intention list is complete, set it on fire and release it to the sky.

Reconnect with your intuition.

A new moon is an important time to reconnect with the whispers of your soul. Spend time in silence for 5 to 15 minutes daily for the remainder of this week. If possible, go outside today for a solo adventure through the woods or a quieter part of the city. Look to the sky. Listen to the thoughts that surface when your mind is still. Imagine how you want to show up in new ways for your life and community. Put it into action this week.

Embrace the change.

The number one thing that trips people up is being resistant to change and their own personal evolution. More than just accepting the current external conditions that may feel different this month, embrace them. Don’t run from them, don’t hope to skip this phase and be on to the next. You are where you are now because you are supposed to be where you are now. The only way out is UP. Whatever exists in your life right now, step up to it with grace and inner peace. It’s perfect. So show up fully as the person you imagine yourself to be. You are that person now. 😉
