The Griot Podcast

Full Moons are all about releasing and letting go. Releasing people that no longer need to be in your life, negative energies, negative patterns, behaviours and toxic relationships. It’s all about being out with the old to make way for the new. It is a time to release that which no longer serves you, what you no longer need in your life or an aspect of yourself that you have outgrown. This week I share 3 rituals you can do during a full moon. My books 365 Daily Affirmations and Chakras: A Beginner's Guide are available on Amazon.

There are many tools you can use to manifest what you want into your reality. The key is to incorporate all your senses into your manifestation methods. However, always remember that even though we may want something to manifest within a particular time the universe and our guides know better and will only ever help us manifest whatever is for our highest good, what is best for our journey and when its in divine timing. Patience and non attachment to the outcome are therefore important pieces of the manifesting puzzle. My books 365 Daily Affirmations and Chakras: A Beginner's Guide are available on Amazon.

And the people stayed home. And read books, and listened, and rested, and exercised, and made art, and played games, and learned new ways of being, and were still. And listened more deeply. Some meditated, some prayed, some danced. Some met their shadows. And the people began to think differently. And the people healed. And, in the absence of people living in ignorant, dangerous, mindless, and heartless ways, the earth began to heal. And when the danger passed, and the people joined together again, they grieved their losses, and made new choices, and dreamed new images, and created new ways to live and heal the earth fully, as they had been healed - Kitty O'Meara My books 365 Daily Affirmations and Chakras: A Beginner's Guide are available on Amazon.

The last new moon was on 24 February. The energy of the new moon remains potent a few days before and after the new moon. A new moon represents the end of a cycle and the beginning of another 29.5 day cycle. So its a great time to make a fresh start, start a new project, set your intentions and turn over a new leaf.

Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality - Earl Nightingale. Your subconscious mind has immense power in controlling your life experiences. Every bit of your life is guided by your subconscious beliefs and patterns. It is like the auto-pilot feature on an airplane. It has been pre-programmed to follow a specific route and you can’t deviate from that route unless you change the directions programmed into it. This episode provides some tips on how to reprogram your subconscious mind. My books 365 Daily Affirmations and Chakras: A Beginner's Guide are available on Amazon.

Colour therapy and healing (also known as chromotherapy or light therapy) is a type of holistic healing that uses the visible spectrum of light and colour to affect a person’s mood and physical or mental health. It is the science of using colours to adjust the body’s vibrations to frequencies that result in health and harmony. Each colour possesses frequencies of a specific vibration, and each vibration is related to different physical symptoms, which many believe contribute to specific properties that can be used to affect the energy and frequencies within our bodies. The unique frequencies and vibrations of various colours can influence emotions and enable healing. My books 365 Daily Affirmations and Chakras: A Beginner's Guide are available on Amazon.
