Moon Guides.

We have many guides on our spiritual journey and one guide you may or may not have been made aware of is our moon guide. These guides work behind the scenes to help you navigate the different phases of the moon. This lecture will not only help you to understand the role in depth but how to connect with them.

Moon Guide Meditation:

We go on a fantastic guided meditation for you to connect with your moon guides and also to understand the role they will play in your spiritual journey going forward.

Sharon Ramel and Julian Jenkins are offering this inspirational moon offering. We are inviting you all to gather in our sacred grove to grow and reach out potential under the magical light of the moon.

You will be guided on a metamorphic journey into the genesis of living from your heart.

Each of us brings our unique gifts to this course this is Sharon's manifestation dream for you all here today as we connect and work deeply with the moon.

The moonrise has a predictable timing pathway - follow it and you will soon get to know its patterns. This is a quick takeaway to show you the basics of moon time. When we work with the moon and the energies pouring from her into our life will assist us in bringing harmony, happiness and a way to move forward with your life.

The moon is magical

Moon Months.

We take a very simple and quick look at the months and the different phases of mediumship and meditation needed to again ensure we harness the moon in a way that will give us the maximum connection and relationship.

It is part of our shamanic work to ensure that our rituals and spirit work will stay connected with nature, not separated from it. You could say that we should know how to find East of the Sun and West of the Moon.

Moon knowledge is best learned from the Moon, the Sun and the Earth themselves. So how do you get started?

To support your study, you will find the next video showing the basic patterns of the Sun and Moon’s Journey across the Sky. However, your real Moon School is out there, under the open Sky. So go out and begin by finding the right place with open horizons from east to west, where you can stand facing the south. Here is your Moon School. The closer it is to your home, the better it will serve you. Find the directions and the sky arch. The four directions are the solid foundation which all your moon observations relate to and make sense from. Become familiar with them, without GPS, as humans have always been. And now you can apprentice yourself to Moon itself, throughout the year, the days and nights.

At the beginning of your Moon studies, a Moon or Sky app might also help you find the directions and grasp the geography of the Sky. However, actual moon knowledge and connection are found offline, in the Sky and stored in your deepest soul. You build it from your real presence, attention and patience. There is just you and the Moon, and nothing stands between you. There enchantment and magic will embrace you

The pattern of Moon's coming and going is in a predictable pattern. However it does take your involvement and being with it to grasp. In the beginning, your mind may wander just when you think you've understood the Moon's dance. I urge you to keep up your Moon-apprenticeship, you will see that eventually one night the Moon will also your clock, your compass, and will help you find your way. It will deepen and ground your experience of the Moon's enchantment and mystery.

A Total Lunar Eclipse happens albeit briefly when the Earth’s shadow falls directly over the Full Moon. For a brief period of time, the Moon disappears, and the night turns dark. In some cultures in the ancient days, it was considered a bad omen. However, eclipses are gifts from the Universe. They reveal to us the next chapter of growth that is getting ready to unfold for us. Spiritually this is significant if we are to grow.

Whenever there is an intense lunar activity, it always creates the perfect vibration and environment for working and strengthening our psychic and intuitive gifts.

Lunar Eclipses can open up part of our soul contract or soul path as they often unlock events that align with our destiny. The energy from the Eclipse can make people feel uncomfortable as they come face to face with why they incarnated.

To counteract the feeling of dis - ease, it’s essential to see what signs the cosmos is trying to show us. It is a great time to tune in and express your creativity, doing some karmic releasing work, maybe some exercise, plus get plenty of rest can also help to bring balance to your body.

La Luna or Der Mond? Maybe Chandra or soma moon? The moon is a masculine identity in India according to the Upanishads. We shall briefly journey into the heart of ancient history and see how the moon has always informed us. Yet other cultures see the moon has a feminine heart.

"May the gods accord you a life that is renewed every month, like the Moon", A Babalonian blessing

Moon Meditation:

This meditation is all about combining mindfulness with the power and the energy of the moon. This lecture will give you the foundation and structure to be able to sit within the energy and maximise the true spirit and love of the moon.

This is the first phase of the lunar cycle - it lasts for three days.

It starts when the moon is invisible and is also known as a Dark Moon because it rests between the Sun and the Earth. On the following days, the moon slowly begins to emerge in our skies.

The energy of the New Moon is associated with introspection, self-analysis and reflection on ourselves. It is the ideal time to percolate new ideas or maybe a fresh start on a new project.

Join Julian Jenkins in this fabulous New Moon Meditation

We are living out of kilter, you are here as you recognise that our current lifestyle collides with the fact that our Earth mother is not capable of supporting the way we are living.  This is why so many people struggle feeling happiness, peace and abundance in their lives.

We turn our attention to look to those who once lived in a state of indefinite sustainability and abundance, for a way forward. In the stillness we find in the time of the dark moon we release, we surrender to restore.

It is time to work with the moon to renew your deep inner spring of wealth and wonder.

Dadirri is an Australian Aboriginal practise of stillness, of listening to the stillness. You are invited to be the breath of stillness.

Join me as we open our senses listening for the clues and cues here in the dark moon - wrapped in the inky sky in honour. Going into the stillness is a deep spiritually rewarding space to be in. Our hearts find a gentle happiness resonating in them.

The dark or new moon is a potent manifestation time. The darkness gifts us a beautiful edge to work with. The stars really draw deeply into us to assisting the seeding of our dreams.

“Dadirri is inner, deep listening and quiet, still awareness. Dadirri recognises the deep spring that is inside us. We call on it and it calls to us. This is the gift that Australia is thirsting for. It is something like what you call ‘contemplation’.”

– Miriam-Rose Ungunmerr-Baumann, Ngangiwumirr Elder

Explore a memorable experience under any phase of the moon

Working with the stillness found in Dadirri contemplate the moon and the phases. Contemplate memorable experiences under a Full Moon, a New Moon, a Dark Moon, or a lunar eclipse. From the vantage point of stillness expand on one experience working with the metaphors and reimagine it from Dadirri.

The waxing crescent moon

During the days that follow the dark or new moon, it’s time to seize the moment and anchor into your intentions. I find it best to keep it simple and focus on one thing that I wish to manifest during this lunar cycle. To that end, practice meditation, shamanic journalling and journeying, visualisations and affirmations at this time.

Focus your attention on your intention and write your new moon intention out clearly and succinctly, and read it out loud daily.

The waxing moon marks the beginning of a new cycle is a time when power is being concentrated. We see that energetically this makes it an optimum time for conception at all levels of being in both the seen and unseen world.

It is time for you to happily plant the seeds of intention and be clear as to what you wish to manifest.

The Waxing Crescent:

After the new moon, the moon needs to start again and grow bigger and builds up in strength and intensity, signifying the sprouting growth of the seed. At this stage, there is forward motion and a hope for something more to come. There is a gush of energy and a forward moving strength that you can utilise. Moreover, plans, dreams and ideas are growing and it is at this time that you can identify your focus for growth and commitment. This lecture will discuss this phase further

Waxing Crescent Meditation:

We go deep into the spiritual cave to be able to get our collection of crystals and understand the role they play through the different moon phases.

Many people are interested in spell casting. Know that unless your intent is pure that it may not come to pass. Work closely with this phase of the moon for money manifestation. Clear the blockages that hold you in there grip and life will begin the flow is all directions for you.

Together we are going to nourish our soul by working with both the energy of the star and moon wisdom to assist us in propelling forward with our new moon dreams.

There is a PDF for you to make moon water. Moon water is simply water that has been exposed to the moonlight and charged with intention. This water will bathe under the moonlight for three consecutive nights. It does not have to stay out all night long and should not see sunlight! Once done your water will now embody the properties and energy of that moon phase and we can use it at other time in our spiritual work.

You can use it to connect with the moon!

This is a great spiritual practice. Together we are going to nourish our soul by working with both the energy of the star and moon wisdom to assist us in propelling forward with our new moon dreams. You will choose one fear that may be preventing you from fulfilling your new moon manifestation desire. You will choose a star to work with - the star will mulch the fear.

The first quarter moon occurs a week after the new moon, thus it is aptly named. It appears in the sky as if it is a half-moon with its illumination. This is the time when we start to feel some resistance in the form of obstacles. We planted our intentions in the dark/new moon and here our your first hurdles at achieving these goals are experienced. This moon will thow up challenges, decisions, and action..

We must remain agile and vigilant - attentative to our intentions. For me yoga and meditation are essential to keep me moving when this moon 'itches'/

First Quarter Meditation:

Reaffirm our trust and love for the divine and spirit. The first quarter can bring lack of trust for our spiritual journey and a strong affirmation practice needs to take place.

This meditation is the meeting of you moon guide at Stonehenge where the power of the guides give the support and confidence to carry on and move forward through this phase.

We are going to engage in a shamanic spiritual healing breath cycle based on the number 13. Thirteen is the archetype of Enlightenment and the number of moons that we had in a calendar year

We can use this cycle to bring clarity into the darkness that can occur in our dreams, to mulch them see them dissolved so that we may be the change we wish to see.

Here is an outline of the technique. For the first four cycles, you would look sideways to the left followed by sideways to the right we will gaze upwards and then we will go gaze downwards.

Breathe into your nose and out to your mouth.

The first cycle of 13 breath is looking sideways to the left and we are looking to release the opposite what we wish for. For example, if you are going to wish abundance first you must let go of the fear poverty of lack if you are going to create health first you must let go of the fear of disease.

And then turn to the right for the next cycle of 13 breath. Turning to the right, we wish to absolve all released at the dreams that have created poverty and disease. We understand that the life that we have right here and now is one that we had dreamed into being. And so we wish to release the fear and destroy the dream that created the poverty that created the disease.

We will then engage one cycle of breath looking upwards. We shall release all of the cosmic energy that gave birth to the dreams that resulted in the problem in our life

The next cycle of 13 breath sees us facing downwards. We release our reflection to replace it with the reflection of the dream that we've chosen to live. Depending on what you wish to achieve through this dream.

And the final cycle 13 breath, we look forward to dating straight ahead and during this cycle, breathing into your nose and out through your mouth feel and relax. You may use words such as I am a worrier in the dream state I remain lucid working with my spirit guides the positive dreams while I sleep.

Make space as you surrender what you do no longer need. Breathe into your nose and out to your mouth.

Simply breathe - working with our goddess Moon, our star brothers and sisters, the wonders and infinite gifts of the universe.

This practice will nurture your dreams as it alters your neural pathways setting you in the right direction from your dreams to manifest.

This can be rocket fuel for any spiritual practice.

“The moon does not fight. It attacks no one. It does not worry. It does not try to crush others. It keeps to its course, but by its very nature, it gently influences. What other body could pull an entire ocean from shore to shore? The moon is faithful to its nature and its power is never diminished.”―Ming-Dao Deng

The Shaman's Way

If you come to me as a victim I will not support you.

But I will have the courage to walk with you through the pain that you are suffering.

I will put you in the fire, I will undress you, and I will sit you on the earth.

I will bathe you with herbs, I will purge you, and you will vomit the rage and the darkness inside you.

Seek balance during the half-moon time. Too often we give out so much of ourselves, it is important to retreat to fill yourself up at this midpoint.

Half Moon Healing: Often we are so busy creating, crafting, coaching our dreams into being that we become ragged lost and confused. This is the halfway point to the full moon is a fabulous place to stop, take stock and receive the half moon’s healing blessings.

While the moon has its own beautiful magic, any manifestation is actually an art, a process - it cannot happen on its own. Our most significant desires don’t merely arrive when we click our fingertips. They take time, and we must trust divine timing. The phases of the moon provide a natural framework to turn to over and over again empowering us to find peace and understanding in the unfolding of our lives.

The waxing gibbous moon

This is an amazing high energy moment, right before the full moon. It offers us deep perspective. With the lunar momentum building - waxing to its peak, things should start to feel like they are aligning. Therefore, this is the time to raise our energy in our life. Take action now on behalf of your intended desires. Pursue them with your whole heart.

Waxing Gibbous:

When we get to this stage we start to feel the power of the full moon and the intentions of the new moon start to feel a reality. This is where the darkest part of the night starts to turn into the day

The meditation is the beautiful hill top where we lay on our back with a space next to us for spirit to come close and join us.

Waxing Gibbous Meditation:

This is a beautiful meditation where we sit on the top of a hill and invite spiritual loved ones to join us.

We are in the fourth moon phase. This phases begins on the 10th day after the Dark Moon and lasts until the 13th day after it. Patience is called for at this time. Look up and around to perceive the power of the Universe and allow it to take control - fall into its natural spell. Slow down to work with its pace and be the witness in your life. Observe the state in which your projects are. Analyse, relax, and plan your next move.

Develop patience and quietly wait. If you have started casting a spell during the previous moon phases, this is the time to sit tight and allow the Universe to do its job. This is a birth phase in which we don’t really have to do anything in particular. Use this time to get ready for the next phase.

If you receive or know there is something you need to clear or cleanse then try this protection or banishing spell. This is also a great time to do a quick dietary detox to prepare for the potency of the full moon.

I am inviting you to join me as it’s time to light four candles in a ceremony on your sacred altar. We are using this to symbolize the birth of a change or transformation or a protection that is desired to enter your life.

Candles represent a very powerful spiritual connection because the single act of lighting a candle is associated with all Four Elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water.

Full Moon Intro:

This is where we bath in the spiritual light form the moon, and celebrate the amazing energies that surround us and the manifestation of our intentions and spiritual journey.

This is a thanking meditation where we sit at the moon temple and absorb the amazing energy

Full Moon Meditation:

We visit the Moon Temple to call upon the powers of our guides and the energy of the moon. This is a very powerful meditation x

There are plenty of ways to journey to set your magical intentions free to manifest!

Special events occur on full moon dates here from March to November along the coast of northern Western Australia, the Staircase to the Moon is a beautiful optical illusion. Only created when the full moon reflects on exposed mudflats at extremely low tide, it forms a magical staircase reaching up to the moon. It is a wonderful natural event to journey on the staircase to the moon.

Prepare for your journey - calling to the moon. Focus your attention on your intention and for a moment, picture the scene. There is a bountiful full moon rising from the ocean. You are standing on the edge of the water. The moonlight is shining across the water. There are gentle ripples so that the light shining across the water almost looks like a series of steps. This is the stairway to the moon. See yourself walking to the stairway across the water up into the space of the moon. That's how it might begin for you. While you're musing about that, allow the vision to flood your imagination, see your sacred body comfortable, swaying to its and the moon rhythm. Ask your spirit guides for assistance, blessing and protection for the journey up the amazing stairway to the moon. You are in the void, preparing to journey to the realm of the moon.

Always we journey with our spirit guides in love on the wings of the moonlight.

Instructions For Your Full Moon Ceremony:

1. One pillar candle - if you can (not essential) some essential oils - Myrrh, Cedarwood, Lavender are a beautiful heady mix for journeying and crafting. As the Prayer ends you will pour your essential oil mix into the candle wax pool. (Be aware it may fizz and hiss as the essential oils release).

2. Beforehand prepare a small altar space for your full moon ceremony. Please note you can do this outside with the rising moon if weather permits. There will be an mp3 audio file for you to download.

3. Have ONE short precise (5-10 words maximum) intention to propel your life purpose or new moon intention.

4. Light your candle approximately 30 minutes before we begin - before moon rise is optimal.

5. When you hear the music begin it is time to step into the Upper World - the music is your cue. It will be the same when you return - you will hear music and know it is time to return to your sacred space.

6. Focus your attention on your intention as we set the scene to journey and spellcraft on this magical night of the full moon.

It is time to take up the gifts of our spiritual heritage, to acknowledge our own mastery and innocence, our own remembrance and readiness. We stand in the centre, in the Silence - listen Dadirri - that deep stillness within the stillness, here in our Sacred Space with our Spirit Guides, the Moon, the Stars and the Sun and the Earth dreaming with us, our spirit guides with us.

This is the most potent mystical, spiritual and explosive time of the month, we are here together and the moon is at its fullest.

Since times long past, full moons have been associated with influencing not only the tides but also human behaviour. This includes having massive effects on our relationships, finances and our happiness and general well-being.

Here is an effective full moon wishing spell:

Gather with your friends or alone under the full moon. I invite you to go outside with a glass of wine or juice of your choice. Gaze lovingly up at the full moon, feeling her moonbeams pouring into you and tell her in detail what you wish, visualising the wish coming true. When you are ready; gaze up to the full moon, raise your glass in a toast to the moon goddess and say, with more visualisation of the wish coming to being:

''Lunar Goddess, look and see

This goblet that I offer thee,

It is yours for all you do

Gracious one of silver hue.''

Join me as we head out under the full moon to perform a ring manifestation spell. This spell makes a moon ring which harnesses the moons power to assist you to manifest your intentions.

The waning gibbous moon

After the full moon, while the light of the moon naturally begins to wane. It is time to consider what you need to let go of, to release. During this vital phase, we have space to reflect on what is holding us back from receiving our desired outcome. Listen closely to any energetic blockages or leaks holding you back from expressing your desired dreams. Embrace the ease of this magical time and simply let go of what’s blocking you from having what you want.

Waning Gibbous:

This phase of the moon is where we truly give thanks to the divine and the amazing spiritual journey we are on we feel truly blessed and the need to say thank you and being anchored and grounded.

Waning Gibbous Meditation:

We sit in the power and will ground ourselves with nature whilst performing a very power protection meditation. Giving us the grounding and strength to sit in the silence of the full moon just departed.

The energy of the Waning Moon asks us to let go. Here is a very simple ritual and let go of any negative situation.

This spell can be cast under a Waning Gibbous, Crescent or Last Quarter Moon as these lunar phases share one common quality of banishing or removal

Please gather:

• Pen and paper

• 1 white tealight candle

1. Write on the paper what is currently bothering or what you want to remove from your life. It could be an emotion, a person bad habit, a symptom or a situation.

2. Light your tealight candle in a safe place and place it either in a holder, a cauldron or on your table.

3. Burn the paper if you are using a cauldron or similar vessel. OR leave the paper next to the candle. Meditate and once the candle has burned down, tear the paper into pieces and through it in the trash with the remains of your candle.

We embark on a soul restorative living ceremony to expand our hearts. We wish to become healing lights reflecting the wisdom teaching of the moon. Together we embrace the subtle changes that are taking place as we work deeply with the moon.

I invite you to journey into the soul-animated reality, to the waning gibbous moon. Now, close your eyes. Relax deeply. Letting go. Relaxing. You are receiving moon rays of life-affirming light, for empowered living.

Last Quarter Intro:

This is the penultimate phase and we need to find the energies and emotions we now know we don’t need to move forward and let them go.

Last Quarter Meditation:

This is a beautiful waterfall cleansing meditation, where we visit the rainbow waterfall and get presented with our own crystals. A perfect way to balance your chakra's get rid of any stale or negative energy and get ready to start the phases all over again.

A Moon Ritual for Last Quarter Magic ✨

You will need one candle and one small crystal or pebble or shell, aromatherapy oil helps but is not essential.

• Light or diffuse an essential oil in your favourite oil disperser (please note this is not essential - it simply adds to the ambiance). Cypress, Lavender and Frankincense work very well with this moon phase. If you don’t burn oils maybe some fresh herbs or flowers from your garden to bring the gentle scents of nature to nurture your spirit.

• Awaken the power of this dedicated and resourceful Moon with the following chant. Repeat it three times: “Oh Moon high up in the sky, you shine and pour your light down through me, help me feel renewed”

I had to re-record the spell as the sound was very bouncy! Sorry, my lips don't quite sync!

Too often we rely on technology for our answers rather than the wisdom of nature and wisdom that resides in our hearts. As the moon wanes we are called to see that we are nature, and when we connect with the cycles of nature and tune into the harmony of natures rhythm we find peace. Live in the flow and you will truly live. Cycling with the moon makes this an easy thing to accomplish.

This Quarter Moon time is rarely a dramatic event. It is a little bit sneaky that way. This moon arrives on a bed of subtlety and often slips softly as moonlight into our lives, changing the tempo through more subtle means. Look for the new rhythm in critical or uncooperative people, things naturally not flowing with ease. Look at things that make you feel sad, angry or maybe lonely. It is a bit like an annoying little itch. If we are not paying attention is easy to miss these subtle moments as personal change timers. That's why most of us feel at odds or a little bit itchy in the feet at these Moon Quarters and wonder why the same problems keep happening to us again and again.

"Moon phases help us decide our wise next steps. Whatever occurs at the Quarter Moons, we're invited to see it as two forces in conflict. Something wants to move; something else resists. This tension seeks its release in change, involving struggle, or assertive and decisive action." - Dana Gerhardt

As the moon retreats in our skies, the old cycle ends and the new one is near. This is a time to withdraw from the world, rest and renew yourself to let go of all that no longer serves you. This is a great time to think things over, and complete anything remaining. Think of what you need to let go, such as projects, relationships that are no longer serving you or that you have lost interest in, as you prepare for new seeds with the start of the next cycle.

We are afraid that if we let go of the consciousness of our agendas, dreams, stories, desires and wants, then things will not happen, focus will be lost, and outcomes not achieved. This is because we believe that we are responsible for holding things together, gripping so tightly that we can no longer see. Yet you are being given the opportunity to let go at this special moon phase. Let go of this responsibility. Become mysterious to yourself.

Waning Crescent:

This is where we sit in the beauty of the darkness and breath a deep breath in the delight that all that went behind us and all that is going in front of us.

This is also an important time to sit and listen to the subtle messages from spirit.

Waning Crescent Meditation:

This powerful but very subtle meditation will allow you to sit in the energy of the moon when it is at one of its dark moments and enjoy the feeling of honesty and love.

How this ritual spell works:

Prepare by gathering one white candle and a box of matches. Other tools you may wish to use include a wand or athame (witches sword). Please note - I am NOT asking you to purchase these, your index finger will work just fine.

The bonds that we establish with others be they friends, lovers, work colleagues have a power that spreads far beyond the physical plane. Did you know that there are invisible cords? They appear as tendrils or threads that are energetic bonds are created between two or more people. These cords are continually transmitting information, emotions and many other energies.

These energetic cords are most potent when we share a close intimate bond with another. They are powerful because they link our auras in a chakra-to-chakra connection. Be aware that they can enter through different parts of the body - they do not confine themselves to our main chakra areas.

Join me is this powerful ritual spell to cut cords and remove all energetic bonds that no longer serve you.

Please join me here as I demonstrate how to work with a simple Cord Cutting Ritual. This works to effectively remove the energetic bonds that tie us to situations, places or people.

You will need one white candle, matches to light the candle and an athame or wand (optional) so that you can cut spiritual cords and other psychic energies. Please note the athame and wand are not necessary, I am NOT asking you to go and purchase these. You can use your index finger just as effectively. Other substitutes include a letter opener, a table knife, a piece of wood for a wand.
