Full Moon Dreamboards

My Relationship with the Moon

A couple of years ago, I noticed that the moon, especially when full, was extremely comforting and soothing to me. I, then, began to seek it out and bask in its glow, staring at it whenever I happened to be on the road at night or walking by my window on my way to and from the bathroom in my room.

I realized that I was developing a relationship with it and that if I asked for its energy to reassure or heal me, it would happen. Eventually, some symbols came to mind that, as a reiki master, I could use deliberately to connect with its energy. I began to think of it as full moon reiki and used them every time the full moon came around.

Just as I do with a lot of what I see regularly in nature, the trees in the courtyard, the birds I hear, the animals I see, I have been able to cultivate my connection to it and I am grateful for that relationship.

Wishcasting with the Moon

Several months ago, maybe longer, I came across Jamie Ridler's website and blog and found out that she helped people develop their spiritual practice in this way, by deepening their connection to the full moon. She reminder her followers to offer wishes and mini-dreamboards (or bigger ones) to the light of the moon each month.

I have done that, but would like to do so in an ever bigger way. This afternoon, she held a full moon dreamboard workshop. Due to my schedule, I couldn't call in, but I will listen to the recording and make a dreamboard over the next day or so.

My Plan for This Lens

My plan here is to create an online space for pictures of my dreamboards (which will likely be kept in my scrapbook) and some of the journaling that goes with the process.

If you would like to join me each month, as the full moon makes its presence known, I invite you to do so. I have created space for you to leave a link to pics of your own dreamboards and links to your blog posts about them, if you'd like. I'd love to form a circle of women who are doing this to see what happens to our lives as we do.

Jamie has just such a circle at her blog, so you may want to participate there, as well. Here is the link to her full moon dreamboard info. I don't know if she will do another teleclass, but if she does, that is where she will list that info, too!
