Input Before Output, Practices for Clearing Your Energy, Powerful Manifestation Ritual + Gemini New Moon
WKLY Nourish 6.14
I just got back from a bike ride and I wanted to share that because a big theme I’ve been seeing with clients (and myself) recently that I feel like is just all around good advice for the times is INPUT before OUTPUT. Living before Doing. Being over Fixing.
We have had such a swing in the wellness and “new age” spaces that makes people feel like they always need to be “working on themselves”, hacking their health and trudging through the mud of their trauma. It might sound harsh but stop thinking about yourself so much. And go live.
If it’s a choice between doing shadow work and belly laughing with friends this weekend — go be with friends. 100%.
Nourish yourself before you give to others. This can be a small thing you do in the morning just for you before you engage with everyone else or it might be taking yourself on a bike ride before sitting down to work.
It doesn’t mean we don’t pull threads or go down rabbit holes or do emotional or nervous system hygiene but most of us need more fun in our lives, more date nights, more romancing life, more oxytocin, more adventure, than we need another biohacking tool or course to take. Unless the course lights you up and gets you super excited about life. In which case carry on. It is Gemini season after all . But just make sure life is balanced.
And by that I also mean “work on yourself” as well.
I talked this week on the podcast about loving up on your inner child (as well as your Godhead). FANTASTIC work for the times. REALLY supportive of birthing the new paradigm energy. What would your inner wee one love to do today?
And we know I love working with cosmic coherence but even that can get too far focused on challenges to overcome. A helpful hack with your charts is often to actually stop focusing on “what’s hard” and start leaning in to what’s easy (Attraction, Magnetism + Blessings training in Sacred Success in The Collective here). Where there is natural flow. Where the fruit is ripening (profections for members here). Where you have innate gifts and magnetism.
Gemini season can have our minds on overdrive and nervous systems activated. So this is a great time to schedule some white space into your weekend for an aimless walk with a friend or laying on the floor listening to an album or a binaural beats track with your legs up the wall.
I also spoke about Ojas this week in reference to summer and Lakshmi as a sweet ally and talisman for the times and this post below from Shiva Rose is fantastic for cultivating more juice in your body and life.
MAGICAL QUESTIONS
The Magician card is tied to Gemini in the major arcana. While connected to Air — it is also an archetype that holds, balances and alchemizes all of the Elements. Reminding us to connect to magic in the mundane. And the magic within.
Gemini New Moons are a great time to ask yourself magical questions. Whether you free style journal around it, ask for signs in your dreams or daily life, participate in the becoming ritual below (highly recommend), and/or draw cards.
A 3 card spread:
The energy arriving or wanting to come through.
How best to prepare myself to receive this cycle.
The most aligned actions to take.
DARK MOON VIBES + CLEANSING THE ENERGY
The New Moon is not exact until this evening and Balsamic or Dark Moons are great for clearing energy and releasing the old so that you can step more fully into new energy.
Here are 5 ways to actually clear your energy (beyond a typical smudge):
Shake your body out — especially your arms and hands. Imagine flicking old energy off your hands and fingers down to the Earth to be composted. And then sweep your aura. I love doing this with a feather. I have several turkey I have found or you can just take your hands a couple inches from your body and sweep the energy downward visualizing any interference or static in your field falling down to the Earth. Sometimes I also imagine a little vacuum above my head sucking up any remaining residue. Pairing this with dry brushing or a salt water scrub afterwards is chef’s kiss. And a great practice for end of day to clear other’s energy from your field.
Stand with your feet a little wider than hips width. Inhale the arms up, exhale the arms out to a “T”, inhale the arms up and then exhale as your fold at the waist and let out a big sigh. Experiment with a regular sigh with sound, exhaling tongue out from the back of your throat and fluttering your lips. Do 5-10 rounds till you feel clearer. Want a little extra: do a minute of Cat/Cow and a minute of Kundalini Washing Machine to really wring yourself out.
Do 10-20 heel drops or until you feel your body start to really let go. Raising up on your toes and letting your heels pound into the Earth. This not only helps release trapped energy but is also a little nervous system reset. Clap around your body to disperse and clear your field and then wash your hands really good up to your elbows with soap and a pinch of salt.
We have been dumping into our journals all season long for the Gemini Nervous System Journey. Take a moment to write out a full page stream of consciousness. Say the things you wouldn’t say out loud. Let it be messy. Then rip the page into pieces. Ripping is great energy clearing as well. And toss it. A great suggestion this month from a member was to write over your own writing. So write a page and then write over what you just wrote. I find I get even deeper below the surface when no one can read what I’m writing — not even me.
Dance it out. Let the movement come from inside your body. Choose a playlist and then invite a Spirit shuffle asking for what you most need in this moment. I often find myself dancing a few songs even if I’m only committed to one as the music feels like exactly what I need. Let it be messy, shake shit off, stomp it out, move in non-linear “odd” ways.

BECOMING RITUAL
New Moon’s are always great times to cast a vision forward (new moon workshop and portal here for members). Gemini and the 3rd House (along with the 6th — also traditionally ruled over by Mercury) are all about our day to day.
Gemini asks you — what is your ideal day?
And I’m going to share with you a practice that only takes a few minutes a day to get you there. Most cannot create real lasting change that sticks… cannot move into a new paradigm, a different timeline, because you are trying to do so from the same identity (and nervous system) that created the last one. The one with the limitations you are wanting to escape and expand beyond.
You need a clear vision of your becoming to step into your desired timeline. And you need to normalize it in your system. So that your nervous system, your frequency and the outside world start to calibrate around it. So that it’s not something that triggers a survival state in your system.
It becomes the new baseline.
And you start to make choices that feed that baseline rather than old identities. You choose alignment and resonance with your future self. You walk like her through your life. And the Universe organizes around you. You collapse timelines.
The desired life is absolutely possible because it already exists. You wouldn’t dream or think about it if it didn’t — it’s just about turning your radio dial to the right station.
I was going to save this one for a future journey inside The Collective. But it’s too good to wait. And actually exactly appropriate for Gemini season.
Let's get started…
(I offer some samples of resources inside The Collective membership behind the paywall. Collective MEMBERS will already have access to anything I drop below inside membership. This gives non-members (but paid subscribers) an opportunity to get some supportive practices, trainings, classes, prompts, and goodies as a supporter of my work while getting a sneak peek inside membership).
Enjoy this powerful audio training for the New Moon Becoming Ritual that is perfect for a New Moon or anytime of the year when you want to more intentionally architect your future with ease and main character energy. MEMBERS can find the recording and support prompts in THE SCAFFOLD.
