Can’t live with them, can’t live without them, but not a single emotion has to control us. Any given day will see us in situations that instinctively trigger the wheel of emotions for good, better or worse, and it’s too easy to get caught up in them without even realizing the power we’re allowing them.

Enter interpersonal interactions, and that’s a whole other network to navigate, since now we’re processing not only our own emotions but compiling them with someone else’s. It’s perfectly fine to stop the wheel and step off. Better yet, learn to protect yourself from the onslaught of other people’s energies.

This is where the Recalling your Energy process can be so helpful! https://www.ivyandlight.com/blog-posts/guided-meditation-for-reclaiming-your-energy

Boost the experience by using energy protecting crystals such as the Empath Protection trio of Sodalite, Fire Quartz, and Fluorite.

Feeling drained or scattered? Try this guided meditation to reclaim your energy, release attachments, and restore peace. Learn how to cut cords, rebalance your aura, and ground your energy with crystals for clarity and focus.

How often do we make decisions based on assumptions? Could we possibly be limiting ourselves and preventing other outcomes when we form realities based on such? Absolutely.

The next step in our Releasing Challenge (see the whole challenge over in Heal + Grow a Life You Love! (IVY+LIGHT Community)) is about letting go of the beliefs that quietly shape our thoughts and energy.

We call this the Recognize • Release • Replace Method — a simple process to notice what’s holding you back, release it with intention, and replace it with the energy you want to embody.

✨ Follow the guided meditation and see the full process here → Overcoming Limiting Beliefs Blog www.ivyandlight.com/blog-posts/overcoming-limiting-beliefs-recognize-release-replace-guided-meditation

You can also watch my Power of Letting Go video (embedded in that post!) if you’d like to get the complete explanation + experience.

Full Moon Alert!

As a Ta**us, I've been feeling the approach of this full moon for several days. It's been a great push for me to let go of those last few things that are holding me back - the things I've felt compelled to keep doing because "it's the right way."

Let this full moon be a reminder to you that the right way is YOUR WAY. The right success is YOUR definition of success.

Let this full moon also be a reminder to REST. Ta**us is the earth sign that loves comfort, decadence, peace, and creating with our hands. So take some time today to either treat yourself to some total relaxation or to get your hands into a fun project.
