The Full Moon and the Welcoming of Spring

Salutations my Zenful readers. How are you all? I hope you had a great week and if you did not; that you had the support of good friends and family to help carry you through. It does make all the difference, I can promise you that. I feel it helps to have a positive influence in my live, when I need to vent or let go of something; if you will, of what is bothering me by saying it aloud. But once it is spoken, we need to begin to let it go too. I know its easier said than done. That's why I feel that having steps in doing so will help you remove any negative energy that you may have. For some it may come natural to let go; but when one has grown accustom to hearing negative words, whether its, your parents, your partner, your children, your family members or coworkers, whom ever it is, what ever the situation is. If one keeps on harping over this negative matter, then you will never be free of it. You won't be happy, and life is too short to be unhappy. The grass will be greener,  the blue skies bluer, and the clouds puffier. Again, it isn't easy, but once you have found your Zen. Everything else will fall into place, and look even better than you could imagine. For me as you all know, my Zen is my smudging, my having my gemstones close, surrounding my aura with positive energy and helping those I have with my own Zen. (drink your water my zenful readers)



Today, is The Full Moon, The Crow Moon; 
(the Worm Moon) Snow slowly begins to melt, the ground softens, and earthworms show their heads again and their castings or fecal matter can be found. Other signs of spring gave rise to other variations: the cawing of crows (the Crow Moon); formation of crusts on the snow from repeated thawing and freezing (the Crust Moon); and the time for tapping maple trees (the Sap Moon). Christian settlers also called this the Lenten Moon and considered it the last moon of winter. 

Someone special to me wished me a Happy Crow Moon Sunday. I was so cheesy. I looked up the meaning of this months Full Moon (as well as the other meanings) It was all so very interesting to me. I had looked them up before but didn't feel its energy until today. I am excited to learn more of each as they come to pass. I am feeling more at peace at where my Zenful journey's path has led me. I feel that on this Full Moon, our welcoming the Spring season and the beginning of a new harvest, I feel that more wonderful new things are coming for me as well as those whom I am connected to. What a great feeling to have during this special Full Moon evening. The energy is already flowing for those around me. Doors have closed so that others can open. Even when it feels that there isn't going to be a way out whatever it is you may be going through. 

When having a positive mind set, and having positive people around you, no matter what, life will bring us what we deserve,...but only when you are surrounded by the light of positive energy. That light has touched my friends and its wonderful to be a part of their journey. To hear about letters being received from work for a new class your eligible to take, to further your career; all aboard on greatness the train, or maybe you've been newly hired for a position that you wanted and was nervous getting. 

Or maybe you didn't expect the end of your journey, that up to this point had been painful, to be as freeing and now feeling as a weight has been lifted. How wonderful it is to be around this positive greatness, indeed.

IS there anything you would like to let go and or purge on this Full Moon evening? Whether you write your intent on a piece of paper and you burn it or you only smudge and say those words out loud. Or maybe you may even want to use our smudging time here this evening and read the prayer and use the picture of the sage and candles to help you with your purging journey. It is up to you., to release the negative that surrounds you. There is no space in your life for it. Let only, love, laughter, light, and positive energy surround your being. Lets begin our Sunday Smudge Day shall we?

Opening smudge prayer

I'd like to ask The Lord our Father as well as The Universe to be here with us this evening of the Full Crow Moon as I smudge & cleanse each of those that are reading this. 

I'd like to call on my ancestors, so they too may be with us, as well. I'd like to call on the elements; earth, water, air, & fire to surround us with their energy. 

I'd like to call on the goddess of the north, east, south & west. As well as our archangels Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, Gabriel for revelation & Uriel for wisdom

Please release us ALL of any negative energy that does not suit or support our needs. Please Lord and Universe be here with us and help us during our time of need, healing, protection, revelation, and wisdom. 

Please let us ALL have a drama free and great work week. Let our kids have a wonderful week at school and or day care. Please let ALL issues regarding friendships, spouses or family be resolved as they are meant to be. In a kind and peaceful manner. Let what we can not change go to rid us of any negative and give us space for the positive that is waiting on us. 

Please see the sage smoke carry away all your worries and blow them away with the element wind, burn them away with the element fire, soak them away with the element water so that the element earth may ground you. Take these few minutes to visual this and clear this away......

Closing smudge prayer

I'd like to thank you Lord and the Universe, as well as those reading today for giving me opportunity to share my Zenful experience on this special Full Moon evening.

I want to thank my ancestors for being present. I'd like to also, thank the elements earth, water, air, and fire for being with us. 

I'd like to thank the goddess of the north, east, south & west. As well as our archangels Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, Gabriel for revelation & Uriel for wisdom. 

Thank you Lord and Universe for always looking out for us and for giving us all the Blessings we have. Thank you for my yesterday, for my today and for the abundance of a wonderful week ahead. 

~ Blessed Be
