Pisces New Moon - March 6th, 2019

As the New Moon in Pisces is coming up in less than a week, I wanted share with you guys what this lunar cycle in March is all about!

Chakra: Solar Plexus

Candle colors: Blue, Green, Yellow

With this New Moon, it’s a great opportunity to focus on desires aligned with expansion of emotional and spiritual growth. Ask yourself “if guilt and/or shame weren't in my way, how would I grow? What would I achieve?”

The answer is what this Pisces New Moon would be amazing at growing and shifting towards. The moon’s energy add's an extra universal “power punch” that supports your journey and desired growths!

Ritual

Use your imagination to create this vision!

Choose a candle color out of 3 (blue, green or yellow)

Write down 7 desires and/or dreams to project into your outer world. Hold your candle, close your eyes and open your heart.

Meditate what your world would look like with these added strengths, goals, wishes, desires. How would your life be uplifted? How would you shift? When you can feel the uplifting energy in your physical body (inspiration, excitement, joy, etc), light your candle and let it fully burn out anywhere from 3-8 days.

- - Namaste - -

Safety Precaution:

With allowing your candle to stay lite until its burnt out, please leave your candle in a safe area that is blocked from falling over or in a closed space. I recommend to keep the candle either in a sink with a flat surface, a shower and/or bathtub for over the period of 3-8 days. When candle is finished, clean out glass jar and recycle the glass!

Herbal Remedy : Stinging Nettle

I am becoming obsessed with this herb as it helps with maintaining my inflammation on the go. Personally, I tend to become “inflamed” when my body is telling me I’m toxic. I’ve been traveling a bunch so I've been taking nettle in dried form. This helps me regulate my joint pain and gives a natural boost of vitamins that my body fully absorbs!

*Benefits*

Stinging Nettle has anti inflammatory, controls blood sugar, lowers blood pressure, lessens hay fever, helps with anemia, and is considered a natural pain reliever (great for joint pain).

Nutrients of Nettle Leafs & Roots:

Vitamins: Vitamins A, C, K, & several B vitamins

Minerals: Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and SodiumFats: Linoleic acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic acid & Oleic acid, All essential Amino AcidsPolyphenols: Kaempferol, Quercetin, Caffeic Acid, Coumarins and some flavonoids

Pigments: Beta-carotene, Lutein, Luteoxanthin and other carotenoids

How to use:

Nettle grows free and is a great add on to any herbal garden. It’s peak season is early spring time. When picking it, use gloves as it can string. Hence why it’s called “Stinging Nettle”. After picking it, use a spatula, knife or some sort of cooking tool to crush the leafs to help take the “sting” away. This magical weed can be ingested in dried form (teas and capsule), raw form (smoothies, salads) and/or cooked in soups, sauces and an array of food dishes.

It’s also very useful to rub on our skin to help arthritis pain as well!
