When you start to attune to the Universe, it becomes really obvious that holding onto grudges is nothing but toxic.
Moreover it’s easy to see that holding onto past upsets does YOU no good.
And worse, not only does it do you no good, it doesn’t change anything! And it certainly doesn’t impact the person you are still angry with in any helpful way.
If you are angry with yourself, all you do by refusing to let go of the dramas from the past is stop yourself from moving forward into a better future.
Anger and resentment causes a blockage in your energy channels. We are all energy beings an we need to allow our energy to flow freely. If you’ve ever had a massage or acupuncture, you may know the sensation of having the energetic knots leaving your body.
These energy releasing techniques are perfect for freeing us up from whatever has already happened and which we can’t change.
Remember, you are constantly creating your own reality 24/7.
If you are simply focused on what happened in the past, it’s going to be almost impossible for you to direct your powerful energies towards creating a better present and future.
Thankfully the magical lunar cycle provides us with the perfect framework for letting go of upsets and dramas.
At the time of the Full Moon, it’s time to feel all our feelings so that we start to process them.
As soon as we have the Full Moon, we then go into what is known as the Waning Cycle of the Moon.
The Waning Cycle of the Moon is the two week period from the Full Moon back to the New Moon. This cycle is all about letting go. It’s about what is falling away. It’s about what you know you need to release.
If you were to think of this cycle in terms of the seasons, the Waning Cycle would start off as autumn. Think of the autumnal chill setting in and the leaves turning brown and withering, starting to fall off the trees to the ground, where they will decompose and become a part of the earth again, in the endless cycle.
That is the start of the waning cycle….
As a result, the waning cycle offers us 3 brilliant opportunities.
1. It’s a time when it’s easier to release the past than it is to hold onto it.
2. The waning cycle allows us downtime to process and release
3. The waning cycle is yin to the waxing cycle’s yang
What you may not realise is that the Waning Cycle is actually the time when we prepare ourselves energetically for more powerful New Moon manifesting.
Think of good use of the Waning Cycle a like emptying out an attic which has been stuffed with old bits and pieces for years.
They all go to others or the rubbish dump … and you are left with a blank canvas to decorate as you will.
That’s an analogy for the energy work it’s possible to do during the Waning Cycle.
We need to release the past in order to create the life we’re dreaming of at the time of the New Moon.
It sounds magical but it’s also much deeper than that.
It’s about understanding that we are energetic, light beings that are constantly creating our lives.
If we are still surrounded by the debris of the past, there is no way we are going to be able to become a powerful manifestor.

I will be teaching about all this and more under the Waning Moon at the London Mind Body Spirit festival on April 18. I would absolutely love it if you can join me. Info and tickets are here.
