Full Moon Journaling:
The sages would say there is no better time to journal than during a full moon. The poets and writers swear by the full moon. There is something magical during a full moon and it offers a unique opportunity for meditation, reflection, and journaling.
With each month comes a new full moon. And with each new full moon, a new stage in this annual cycle we call a year. Each month offers its own opportunity to focus on that specific stage of your own personal journey we call life as we all move through each of the seasons of the year.

Significance of January:
January is about fresh starts and new beginnings. It?s a time for shedding the old and bringing in the new. It?s a time right after the winter solstice, representing new beginnings, and the conquering of light over darkness as the days grow longer.
Take some time out of your evening on the Wolf Moon to journal your thoughts and meditations on this significant day.
Realigning with Nature and the Universe
The moon has a lot more influence over us than we are aware of. It?s been an icon of love, the representation light in the darkness. The moon is able to shift the tide, it?s a calendar for the farmers. It signals fertility and is the most visual timepiece in the sky.
We have lost touch with the moon, nature, and our connection with the universe. By following the moon and its natural cycles, we too can realign ourselves and our connection with the universe.
