Welcome to holistic secrets podcast. Where we will guide you to reveal the secrets that are in a reshared join us. As we help you gain an understanding of spiritual world with me April. And with me tests. Let's dive and do it. Hey guys. Welcome back. Here for another week of moon phases. We are doing the first quarter moon this week and the waxing give us moon., Oh, but first I have to tell you what happened with your two year old this week, while I was babysitting them. We were in the dining room and she comes running over to me and saying, you know, there's a monster, there's a monster. And at first I was like, Was she really meaning a monster? Like, you know, or was it somebody she was seeing? Yeah. And, uh, so I was like, well, what do you talk about? What does it look like? And she couldn't tell me what it looked like, but she kept telling me where it was. And it like started in the kitchen. And progressively kept coming closer and I kept telling her to tell them if they're not going to be nice to go. Go away. And she stood there and she was going go away, leave me alone. Like a two year old. Does. Yeah. Yeah. Her little attitude. And then she was sitting on the floor playing and then all of a sudden she looked like directly up right by where she was. And she says, it's right around the corner. And I said, you tell it to go away. If it can't be nice. And she said, go away. Be nice. And then she didn't say anything about it. Since. So it's the same thing that your oldest did too, when he was hurried in this house. Still, he still talks about seeing monsters. He'll never call them anything else, but monster. So he doesn't know what they are. Right. And she'll say the same thing, like before they run up the stairs, like mommy, the marches are up there. I'm in there and nobody up there. Get going. Yeah. Flip the light on, they book it up the steps like. Yeah, but there are definitely seeing things. Yeah. I mean, we knew they eventually would write. Right. I knew from when, when Ronan was first born. Yeah. That he was going to have abilities. And, um, And he's proven you've right. Yeah. Uh, but enough about my heathens. Let's get started into the moon cycles. So we're going to be starting off today with the first quarter moon. It is a primary moon phase that we see a half illuminated circle and half of the shadow, part of the moon. And appears highest in the sky at sunset. It is called a quarter moon, but from earth earth. Sorry, but from earth, it looks like half of a pie. And occurs about halfway between a new moon and a full moon at the point where the moon is a quarter of the way around its orbit. Around day seven of the moon cycle. One week after the new moon, it usually rises around noon and will set around midnight. That's the one thing when researching all this, that it was really strange that the moon Rises during the day, And you don't even notice it. You don't notice it. And I didn't even realize it until we were researching all this stuff. Yeah. I'm going to have deli seen the moon, like during the day, but I haven't like taken notice to like, when it's up here, you know what I mean? Right. So the meaning it is a critical phase of the lunar cycle. You might feel restricted by. By the familiar and old. Ready for the new to happen. It's the active phase where longterm decisions are made with the permanent implications. Taking action and overcoming obstacles is a time to make decisions towards achieving your goals. Action. Manifestation challenges and perseverance. It's a reminder to align our intentions with our actions and push through the obstacles in our way to grow and transform. It's a rough time during this phase. It's very rough. Um, It's best symbolized for like the balanced decision-making and hope that it's a great time for like, Growth and taking action and overcoming these obstacles. It symbolizes hope for a brighter and more abundant future. The moon is beginning to shed some light in the darkness. The achievement during like the darkest days. Some self care. Engaging in some physical activities that align with your goals, like mindful meditation, yoga, breath, work, even dancing. The meditation you can use to help gain the clarity and help you make plans and set like concrete steps to achieve your goals. The yoga and breath work is just to calm you down to maybe. Do the yoga or breath work like right before you meditate just to. Give yourself like a. A balanced. Kind of feeling of all your energies. Um, dancing just to release some inner attention. You can't tell me when you're dancing that you're not happy. Oh, yeah. Always. During this phase you are putting in the work to achieve your goals. It could be some obstacles to doing the yoga or breath work will help you work through all of the. The tough. Stuff. Yeah, doing breath work helps a lot. Like when I'm stressed, I do the normal breathing holes for four counts. Breathe out for four counts. So it's like, It's 12 counts in total. You breathe in for four hold for four release for four. Yeah. I also do the, um, Especially with like my kids. Kids. I do the big breath in holding an out. Big breath in holding an out. I usually do the box breathing for four. I think that's exactly what you just said, but that'll I do, especially when my kids are like really acting up and like, they're really like hysterical. I'll have them blow out candles. All my fingers. Oh, yeah. And I'll go back and forward because it gets them. First of all, I think they're blowing out candles on a birthday cake. So they're excited for that. And then it's focusing themselves on their. Breathing so that they stop crying because. Nobody likes a screaming and crying child. Yeah. Just then getting into like affirmations and crystals and stuff. Some crystals for the first quarter, moon will be tigers eye. Crazy lace agate and Merlin night. Tiger's eye is a perfect crystal to use during this phase because it provides us with courage and endurance. It is strong and fearless and it helps you be that way as well. It also calms you if you are stressed and it gives you the strength and fortitude to push through any. The obstacles. Crazy. Lace. I get it is a crystal for. For regulating emote. Emotions. The first quarter moon tends to make us have fear and self doubt and doubt all of our abilities. We can question ourselves. Okay, the next cycle is the wax and give us moon. It's in the sky before it stark and lights up the early evening sky. More than half lit, but not completely full. Waxing means increasing. So the lit part of the moon is increasing. Give us meaning humpback. This phase is called waxing. Give us moon because the surface area of the moon that you see is increasing. And the shape of the little part of the moon, it looks like a humpback., It starts just after the first quarter moon. And raises until the full moon. It is easy to see in the daytime because a large fraction of the day side faces are way. It is seen in the afternoon. Uh, shortly after moon rise. When it's ascending in the sky, as the sun is descending in the west, as darkness falls the wax and give his moon lights up the sky. You know, it's so crazy. Like even this one says that it comes up afternoon, shortly after Moonrise. Like that's crazy that it starts coming up. Like. And during the day. Yeah, that's what I was saying earlier too. Yeah. But some. Some of them come up during the day. And, you know, everything comes up in the east and sets in the west. So a lot of people think that when the moon is, is setting in the west and it's actually just rising, but it's not, it's actually. Yeah. Going down. Um, It signals, redirection, adjustment and flexibility. This phase, urges us to analyze our progress, make necessary adjustments and hone our path towards our goals. It is often associated with the element of water representing emotions, intuition, and the subconscious mind. It serves as. An excellent time to connect with. Your intuition and heed your inner guidance. Guidance. It is associated with growth, abundance, and manifestation. When our Asper. Asper. starts to take. And we begin. Progress. Hers, the powerful. didn't focus on pres and aligned. Mind you you're in. Not always. Big. You're getting your laundry. Exactly. Oh, that's a baby. Never. I have my. Yeah. You know, that's.
