How to Discern Anxiety From Intuition at the New Moon

 


Are you struggling to differentiate between anxiety and your intuition? The monthly occurrence of the new moon presents a chance for us to strengthen our inner wisdom and regulate our nervous system. During this time, we can treat our body as a valuable resource and our spirit as an intuitive messenger. By paying attention to our internal compass, we can develop the ability to identify what deserves our energy and what does not. Our intuitive process expands as we let go of anything unhelpful, both physically and energetically.


Observing our life process during the new moon can help us recognize when anxiety is dominating our lives. This understanding can lead to the discovery of limitations that keep us from experiencing joy, peace, and abundance. We can also develop personal tools and learn to trust the process.


The new moon is a time for rebirth, renewal, and gathering wisdom to begin a new cycle of the moon. Additionally, it provides a monthly opportunity for purification, especially when we learn how to regulate our nervous system by transmuting anxiety.



How can you tell if anxiety and fear are dominating your life? Despite feeling similar, anxiety and intuition are different mental and physical states. Recognizing the difference between these opposing energies can have a positive impact on your life. Anxiety can cause racing thoughts, sweating, and an erratic nervous system. It can cloud your intuition, leading to misinterpreted "stress flashes." To avoid being controlled by anxiety and fear, it's important to identify their presence and understand their characteristics. By doing so, you can take the first step towards greater freedom and long-term transformation.


Trusting your intuition is about recognizing its characteristics, such as feeling calm and mindful, and not provoking extreme emotions. True intuition doesn't generate fear or doubt, but rather a curiosity and reassurance. Developing self-awareness is key to trusting your intuition. Practices like observing the new moon each month, engaging in daily contemplative activities, spending time in nature, practicing breathwork and meditation, moving your body, and exploring creative pursuits can all help regulate the nervous system and increase the clarity of your intuitive insights.


The New Moon's Role in Swapping Anxiety for Intuition

Observing the moon's influence on our rhythms helps us realize the interconnectedness of everything. Our thoughts affect our bodies, and our emotional expressions or suppression impact not only ourselves but also those around us. Tracking the moon's patterns can connect us to more significant cosmic rhythms.


During the new moon, pay attention to your subtle energy and notice your body's clear yes or no responses, as they indicate your intuition's voice. Mental chatter that typically accompanies this process should also be observed. Your intuition's insight will usually be a brief moment of clarity without any inner criticism.


Some people receive intuitive messages in various ways, such as mental images, scents, and sounds, while engaging in wisdom practices, or nature. The likelihood of receiving intuitive messages increases when you are calm and well-rested.


To hear your intuition's whispers, it's essential to acknowledge and recognize when fear speaks to your consciousness. At this moment, we should name, accept, and respect fear as a teacher while being grounded in the present. You must pay attention to positive frequencies and inspiration. Release any lower vibrations or thoughts with a deep exhale.


By committing to daily mindful acts and living in sync with the moon's cycle, we increase our chances of understanding our intuition's messages. Living deeply connected to oneself and the universe brings immense satisfaction and radical transformation.


This ritual is designed to cultivate intuition and connect with the new moon:


Begin by lighting a candle of your choice.

Take a warm bath or do some light stretching or restorative yoga to relax your body.

Sit comfortably in a quiet and meditative space for two to five minutes.

While in this meditative state, connect yourself to the elements in the following order, allowing any emotional imbalances to be cleared and for you to become more present in your physical body:

Connect to the earth to ground yourself and release fear.

Connect to water to release emotional imbalance and feel in flow.

Connect to fire to transform and release the ego.

Connect to air to purify yourself and release armor around the heart.

Connect to ether to honor spiritual integration and release attachments and illusions.

After connecting to the elements, imagine that you are wearing many layers, each layer representing recurring negative thoughts or roles that you no longer want to play. Allow these layers to fall away one by one. Reflect on what you would like to release by asking yourself what is ready to be cleansed, shed, or redirected within you.

Generate heat in your hands by rubbing them together and then placing them on your lower abdomen. Visualize the negative energy leaving your body as you pull your hands away from your body. As you reach your hands towards the sky, exhale powerfully out of your mouth with a "shhh" sound. Repeat this process as many times as you need to release lower frequencies from your body.

Return to a comfortable seated position and enter a state of spaciousness and gratitude. Call forth the seeds, virtues, or support that you are ready to invite into your life.

Listen for any intuitive whispers, then gently return to normal consciousness and journal about them. Remember that the messages received internally do not need to be literal or based on productivity.
