Welcome, July! It's a pick of energy, growth, enrichment, abundance energy in the Northern Hemisphere and a turning point in going inward, resting and reflecting in the Southern Hemisphere.
Where ever you're we need to honor nature's cycles. As when we do, it's easier to feel peace and joy, and have clarity and focus. It is easier to navigate through uncertainty, instability, and adversity by clearing worry and stress that are natural responses to such conditions.
A new month offers a natural point of reset as it is easier for our mental system to accept completion of the prior month and beginning of the new month.
Welcome, July!
In the Northern Hemisphere it carries a vibrant wave of energy - it's a peak of growth, enrichment, and abundance. In the Southern Hemisphere, it’s a turning point in resting, going inward, and reflecting.
Wherever you are, nature’s cycles are always in motion - and when we honor them, it becomes easier to feel peace and joy, to gain clarity and focus.
We navigate uncertainty and adversity with more grace when we create space to clear the worry and stress that naturally arise.
A new month offers a beautiful opportunity for a reset.
Our mental and emotional systems more easily accept the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
Let’s review our key steps to start the month with a clean slate:
-
Celebrate yourself.
The little things and the big things. Not only the tangible accomplishments - celebrate how you felt, how you navigated the ups and downs. And if you don’t feel like celebrating, simply acknowledge how far you’ve come.
-
Tune into your body.
Notice how your mind feels, how your heart feels, how your body feels. Locate areas of tension, heaviness, contraction, or stress - in both your body and your headspace. Allow yourself to fully feel what you’re feeling.
-
Release.
Let go of the stress, the weight, the heaviness, the contraction. Don’t rush this part, your nervous system needs spaciousness to unwind.
-
Listen inward.
What’s opening up in your soul, heart, and mind? What dreams, desires, or changes are calling to you now?
-
Gratitude.
Write down what you’re genuinely grateful for, no matter how small. Gratitude is an amplifier of joy, presence, and possibility.
For a complete reset that truly creates the feeling of a clean slate, each step needs to be done both mentally and energetically, at the level of thought and feeling.
To engage the mind, use journal prompts and reflective questions. Write your responses by hand to deepen presence and clarity.
To engage the energy body, incorporate practices like guided breathing, visualizations, and intentional movement, such as swimming, floating, walking, or painting using the Bloomtica Art method.
Whenever possible, do these practices in nature to enhance grounding, renewal, and connection with your inner rhythm.
Next part: Set the vision for the new chapter
- What do you want to carry forward into Chapter 6 from earlier this year?
- What are you ready to leave behind or let go of?
- What would you love to experience or achieve in Chapter 6?
- Who is the version of you who has already achieved it?
- How would you love your journey through this month to unfold: easefully, joyfully, peacefully?
Just like the reset, these visioning steps are most powerful when done both mentally and energetically, engaging your thoughts, emotions, and inner sense of alignment.
