Nutrition suggestion:
Seaweed helps to balance water metabolism. It nourishes kidneys which filters blood. Millet is great for it’s ability to balance water related issues in the body. Can dry up excess by cooking with less water and rehydrate you by cooking it with more water.
- 1 cup of millet.
- 3-4 cups of water, depending on how firm you want it.
- Add arame or other seaweed to your liking.
Sprinkle nutritional yeast and/or squeeze lime juice over the rice right before serving.
Ritual:
With the moon in Pisces all day we feel our emotional bodies tuned in to all the subtle frequencies. Pisces is absorbent, living life as a waking dream and fully feeling through the experience of being here. Fully feeling can be overwhelming, especially in a society that has historically prioritized productivity over emotionality. Tonight in your ritual disregard time, step away from a linear timeline and allow your awareness to slip into a waking dream state of timeless space. Ever had a moment that felt like it lasted forever? That’s the feeling I get with the moon in Pisces. Take a moment to look up at the sky and fully feel the vastness of the magic it is to be here now, to feel here now.
- Begin by calling in the dreamy nature of Pisces, creating sacred space by calling in your spirit guides to support you in your current time and space.
- Create ritual around making your self a cup of tea with full love, as we did in last nights moon ritual.
- Carry this sacred space to your bathroom for a ritual bath/shower.
- Be intentional with every step of the process, do what you need first to be sure you won’t be interrupted and drawn out of you timeless dreamy space. Then set the vibe for you bath. Think about lighting, ambient sounds, and smells.
- As you undress, allow each garment to symbolize the release of your old skin, shedding these layers to return home to your raw essence.
- As you prepare the bath or begin the water for your shower, full connect with the element of water. With love and gratitude for feeling the water here now.
- After your ritual bath/shower, take time to reflect in your journal, noting the dreamiest part of your day and dreaming about your most magical ideals for the future ahead. No dream is too big, small, or beautiful; give all your dreams attention and feel the magic of living this dream life.
Conclude in gratitude.
Dreams:
The objects in your dreams are reflections of your awareness. Each new object is from the light of one source projecting the illusion of your mind back to you. How does looking at your dreams this way make you feel about objects in your waking reality? While you are in the dream, you have no reason to believe that what is occuring isn’t real. But when you wake up, you say to yourself, “It was just a dream.” Then you go on about taking your waking life very seriously. Just for tonight, take your dreaming life just as seriously. When you wake up, write:
- Your first thoughts.
- Remembrances of dreams.
- How you felt in the dream.
- How you feel upon waking.
If you don’t recall dream symbols, images or feelings, write that. Write any thoughts that arise upon awakening.
