Why New Moon Wellness?

Why the name "New Moon Wellness?"
A new moon symbolises new beginnings! 

I had the intentions and desire to start a blog but kept putting it aside and saving it for later. Then in a recent yoga teacher training my teacher asked us,  "what's your next big step?" We worked on intention setting and building a personal pathway to actualizing our goals. So here we are, and since I firmly believe in the harnessing the power of the lunar and solar energy I decided "new moon wellness" was the perfect match. The fresh start of a new lunar cycle means a symbolic fresh start for us.

So what is your next big step?What changes would you like to see in your life? Where are you being called to action? What are your deepest desires? Are there any new projects calling your name? Can you plant the seeds for new habits to grow?

I see the new moon cycles as an invitation to ask these questions and more, set intentions that can flourish into the life you most deeply wish to live. 


This months new moon is today Sept 20th, can you take some time to listen to what the new moon might be calling you towards?

Buy pre- chopped or frozen veggies or plan on more prep time - a food processor, quality knives and cutting boards a must! 3. Find recreations and plant based substitutes of what used to be your favorite meat centered dish- for example - sub tempeh for chicken,  use lentils in lieu of ground beef...
