Full Moon Energy

What are your plans for the upcoming Full Moon?

Haha. Yeah, I edited the prompt.

Chaos reigns

Received some great guidance on that recently and it looks good, so heyyy!!! Here we go.

Hmm..starting off with a topic a little controversial I suppose 😆 depending on your thoughts and beliefs (or lack of) surrounding moon cycles.

“Get ready for some heightened, wild vibes,” is always the warning I feel like I should give.

So, what am I up to and focusing on during the impending chaos of full moon energy that’s about to transpire? (Or let’s be honest, has already hit us like a ton of bricks!)

Well, I’m hoping I’ll be able to take that nature hike I talked about a few days ago.

Would love to capture some photos like this one:

One on my favorites

And this:

I just love the eerie feeling it elicits

Although until I get an actual real camera, I feel like my moon photos will never look as good as these.

Also it’s a supermoon and a hunter’s moon.

I don’t have to work the night of the full moon, luckily, but I’ll be working at my recovery job on that following Saturday overnight, so I’m sure some of the vibes will still be in the air…yay?

I guess it’s a good thing I don’t work in an ER or a psychiatric hospital anymore…for now

Other than that, I hope to lay low. Uneventful. I always have a ton more dreams during the full moon, too.

On an interesting note – I had a job offer today pop up out of nowhere, so that was quite a bit of a surprise.

I took it.

The universe likes to play little tricks, I’m convinced. Here I thought I’d be able to bend it to my will, and then it throws me another curveball.

Universe, you funny.

Full moon energy is among us. 🌕 The temps are cooling down and I’m loving it!!

  4. It is a supermoon. You probably know this already, but the moon’s orbit is slightly elliptical so the moon’s distance to earth varies. A supermoon is when it is a full moon at the same times as the moon is at its closest point to Earth (called perigee). It will appear larger and brighter than usual. Therefore, I took out my little telescope and checked out the moon and its craters. I also took a look at Jupiter and I could see three of its four Galilean moons. So I have been a moon person tonight. Dallas has a lot of light pollution but you can still see the easy stuff.

    Anyway, I have to say that the story about your unexpected job offer was amazing. I wish you all the best with your new job.

  5. Congrats on changing the prompt! does this mean the strike is over? Good morning vibes will soon be upon us as I listen to the magical sound of brewing in the dark. I know you can nail the new job as only the Caffeine Queen can do. I was looking at the moon last night, what a beautiful thing. No pics from me. Have a great Thursday Laura. 🌕☕☕

      • Lucid dreams are undoubtedly very confusing and the full moon gives more clarity in the details. I need to unlock this side more. 🤔 I also understand that the demands of our daily lives have demanded a lot from us 😮‍💨 so when we leave the body at the time of sleep we end up in somewhat crazy scenarios 😜, lately I always see myself in the village where I lived in my childhood and adolescence. 😅🤔 I’m researching why this is. ☺️🤗 Gratitude and have a good weekend even with the tense energies of the full moon. 😮‍💨🌕👀

      • Sometimes we have these “home” dreams. I agree that our dreaming doesn’t become more clear until we’ve had time to properly release the cobwebs in our brain either from work, stress, or just living life. I had some intense ones but I’m having a hard time remembering more, discussion is good! 😊 I guess I should get back to discussing dreams more 🤔 but the dream you have sounds like to me maybe searching for self, or going back to a place in your life where you were in childhood, maybe also needing some comfort (if it was a comfort to you) could be a time period in your life where you needed to work something out that’s still playing in your brain 🙏 hope that makes sense 😊 🤗 and I appreciate you sharing with me ✨ 🌕 more moon dreams that are calm this weekend, please 🙌

      • I appreciate your explanation, it really makes sense, because I was analyzing it from that perspective. In these astral journeys I feel like it’s a refuge (albeit unconsciously), a place I like to be for some reason, that I need to dive deeper into myself to discover. I would appreciate it if you could write a little more about lucid dreams for us. Gratitude and have a great weekend with all this vibrational energy running through the sky OMG! 😅🙌🏻✨🌕🌌🌠

      • Ahh, a nice topic then!! 😊 would be happy to. Have you been trying to induce more lucid dreams? There’s some supplements for that, although of course I give the caution to be careful with anything, even if it is natural. Some people say Valerian root, there is also Mugwort. 😊 let me know what you think ✨ 🌕 🙏

      • I have also been carefully researching the use of natural medicines🍵 that facilitate this process of lucid dreaming. 🤔💭I found a genus of mugwort in its natural form (plant)🌱but it looks like common mugwort to me, so I don’t know if it will have this desired effect. But I will look for the correct genus of mugwort.😉🙏I appreciate your explanations.

      And yes! Thank you. So appreciated. I guess the WFH job wasn’t for me. It’s a shame because it was decent hours but the sitting all day was driving me nuts…and this one’s a pretty significant jump in pay (the wfh was severely underpaid) so…here’s hoping 😆 🤞

      • That’s good you have a better paid job. I really hope it works out ok. I know I like to be active in my job and being a cleaner is an ideal role for me. There is no way I could sit down all day in a job. It would make me fidgety.

        Liked by 1 person

      • It drives me nuts! I feel like they took advantage of the WFH situation too by paying lower. Yeah, I need to be up and moving. It was impossible with the quota they eventually wanted you to meet making calls to patients. It sucks but hopefully something better. How are you doing? Still dancing? 💃 😊

        Liked by 1 person

      • Oh, they upped the quota to what it was originally when you first started?

        My extra energy is gone. Last dancing I did yesterday. But I haven’t burnt out. I feel good. I just feel like I would if I had been to the gym.

        And with how I feel with right knee, it further reminds how I need to get back to the other exercises for that, that are not on my schedule. But would do normally that I stopped. I have had some days this month where I can’t squat low down in my job because my right knee prevents me sometimes. So I am either having to kneel or bend my back. 😊

      • Yeah, every month or so, it becomes more and more patients you have to call. It makes for the job to feel kinda sleazy because they all have chronic conditions you have to document on, but there’s a time / minute / billing factor that comes into play. All about money, always.

        Glad you haven’t burnt out. 😊 glad you feel good too! Excellent to feel like you did a workout at the gym.

        Ahhh the knees are always a pain. Feeling mine a bit today. I did a spin class last night. Might try to do weights today if I’m not too tired 😆

        Be careful with your back! Ugh. I swear this job gave me worse back pain 😫

        Liked by 1 person

      • Yes. I don’t like bending at the back in my job. I am aware of bending at the knees. But with right knee tight that I can’t squat low at work, it’s either bend back or get on knees. And kneeling is not always agreeable.

        Money always comes into unfortunately. It’s so wrong when mote is added onto you and I bet you had to do it in same working hours? I won’t be surprised if that’s what you had to do.

        Liked by 1 person

      • Oh yeah, definitely…I get it, not always feasible to do it one way or another. Have you ever worn a brace or something to try and stabilize your knee a bit while working?

        Yeah it was definitely getting to the point where it was unreasonable. I had a panel of 250 patients to call, and let’s be honest, only 100 or so are answering. They want you to do 25 calls in a day. It was too much. And then I would run out of patients before the month is up, so it’s spinning wheels trying to chase ones down who aren’t answering and don’t want to be bothered probably.

        Healthcare. 🙄 sorry for the rant 😜

      • I have worn a brace when I was much younger before I had my operation on it. (Knee cap realignment and cartliage.) But I only worn it a short time as I learnt I was allergic to the rubber materials. (Later in work through my job I learnt I was allergic to rubber and latex gloves) so I can’t wear anything like that. But if I could, it’s not something I want to go back to doing. I wouldn’t be able to squat in one so I would feel more restricted wearing it, than trying without.

        Yes. Definitely unreasonable what they were expecting there. And rant away. 😊

      • Oooh I feel you!! I’m allergic to latex too. I found that out in my very first clinical in nursing school 🤣 luckily most of the gloves here aren’t made with latex anymore, usually they’re nitrile I believe. And yeah, I get how a brace could be considered constricting and you probably wouldn’t want that either as it limits your movement. I hope your knee feels better today!! 🫖

      • Nitrile gloves are what I use now as a cleaner since the very early hears of discovering my latex allergy on top of the rubber allergy.

        It’s just tightness I have on my knee. I need to motivate myself and get back into the other exercises which I don’t need to make time for because I can do them while the kettle boils for example. But also stretches.
        I only get odd pain now and again for a second or too when walking. My main issue is just not being able to squat down low in my job that I have found again. The tightness I have felt more since the extra physical activities. 😊

      • I used to do Yoga years ago. But I went on to do Pilates when Yoga class ended. I like that better. But I don’t do it like I used to, than focusing on stretches at times. I miss Pilates class. I stopped going as I couldn’t afford it. It’s my Tai Chi I do reguar now at home.

      • I gotcha, I think those can be done at home, yoga definitely can. I don’t think I’ve ever tried Pilates. I’ve been wanting to try Tai Chi for the longest! The only reason I go to classes sometimes is because it’s included in my gym membership, but I’ve debated getting rid of that. Started back with weights though, so might not anytime soon 😆 🤷‍♀️

      • I had been doing Pilates for years so can easily do it at home.
        It’s always best for anyone who has never done Yoga or Pilates to attend classes first. That way the instructor can help you make sure you do things safely. Posture is correct. And alternative poses for anything you may not be able to do. Like for example if you can’t kneel, then you will be given an alternative to everyone else. I have been in a situation for months where I couldn’t do what others were doing in class because of injury. So I learnt of alternatives as well as having to rest more than others until I was well again. I was the youngest in class. It felt embarrassing because I couldn’t do what others were doing at one point. But the class were supportive.

      • Ooohh good to know! I think my posture or the way I do the moves is always off 🤣 😆 so you’re right about that, it’s good to learn the correct way. Like the correct way to do a squat, etc

      • The breathing in both Yoga and Pilates plays a part too. But the balancing takes a while to do before getting there with either Yoga or Pilates. But again, with some of the moves, it might be having a slightly different position until getting there.
        The right instructor will also remind doing what feels right for you, so you don’t stretch too far that it’s uncomfortable. As that slowly improves too over time. 😊

      • I was going to mention the breathing too 😁 I’m always inhaling when I should be exhaling 🤣 do the exact opposite, I always try to tell myself. That’s very true. Finding a good instructor is key. Some want to push way too hard.

        Liked by 1 person

      • Yes. I used to too with my breathing til I got it right. I don’t know how long that took me before it felt natural.
        There is only one certain breathing I don’t do, that I don’t like that sometimes happen in Pilates and I think it was the same or otherwise similar in Yoga. But it was a different kind of breathing as you sat, pinching one nostril and then changing it to the other. I don’t like it. So when that used to happen in class, I would instead just do normal relaxatiin breathing.

        In Pilates there was some other breathing that would be doneodd times. Again, I would avoid that because it just did not gel with me. It wasn’t relaxing or helpfulfor me.

      • Oh yea I’ve heard about the alternate nostril breathing, I think it’s to slow down your heart rate and keep you relaxing. I know, I don’t like it either, really! 😆

I would’ve loved to have stayed at home, but they kept raising the amount of patients they want you to call /document / bill for, so it becomes impossible and almost like an ethical issue for me…and for about $10 more an hour, I have to say bye 👋 plus, I didn’t like the sitting all the time. This literally popped up out of nowhere so I’m happy to take it. Just hoping I can stop shifting around now. 😊 and yes, you’re right 😆 the moon is very important to me – thank you. 🙏 Would love to see if you have any shots for this one too! ❤️ Yep, I’ll be howling 🤣 that’s for sure 🌕

  27. Well, the moon reminded me that today was its special day… by shining in my bedroom window so brightly that it woke me up at 5 am! I squinted at it, and said, “Yup, thanks, at least one of us is happy and energetic right now.” (Reminded me of this poem I wrote in May https://elderberrytea.wordpress.com/2024/05/02/a-feline-moon/)

    Then this evening, I saw the moon when it was rising during dusk, and it looked quite big. A few hours later, when it was properly dark, I returned outside, and viewed it again, and it was super bright. My brother commented that it was as bright outside as when a normal full / mostly full moon reflects light off of the snow, except there was no snow for it to be reflecting light off of.

    There’s a comet that’s supposed to be faintly visible in the west tonight… except the moon is flooding the sky with so much light, so I’ve been unable to see it.

    I did take several pictures, and might write a poem to post them with tomorrow. My phone is old, and the camera terrible in low light (and doesn’t have a night mode), and even when playing around with manual settings, I couldn’t get pictures as impressive as others have gotten – but they’re still MY pictures.
