Each full moon you are sent journaling prompts to explore in your own time.
Journaling can be a beautiful, non scary way to explore our hearts, our minds and our relationship to nature both inside and outside of us. It can be fun, interesting and inspiring. You do not have to be a writer, you do not need to able to spell well, be a poet, nor do you have to write regularly. Writing in this journaling form, is a tool, a tool to explore curiously what is held within and create a communion between the head and heart.
So grab your journal, a herbal tea or a jug of coffee, a blanket, a cosy space or whatever it is you need to explore these prompts along with pen/pencil and maybe a timer if you want to give yourself timings which I personally think is a good idea, but do what’s right for you.

Hello and Happy Full moon to you all.
According to Celtic tradition, the March full moon is known as the Seed Moon. It is also known as the Wind Moon, Storm Moon or the Worm Moon because of the earthworms that come out when the soil warms up.
This is a time where we begin to see what magic and beauty is born from within the protective holding of egg, seed, womb, body, mind and earth.
There is magic in watching how things grow and emerge, whether it is our own selves, our friends or the nettles, dandelions, cleavers, primroses, blackthorn blossom, elder leaves and violets, or perhaps the baby birds, the young rabbits, and the opening acorn.
When in nature, as a child and now, I fully believed in magic, in the magic of the wild and the power held in nature to alchemise, grow, connect, heal, change and bring beauty to the world. I sense it in the forest, the river, the nest building, the garden, the field and my own body.
When I speak of magic, I don’t mean creating spells or rabbits from hats, Im speaking of the magic innate within the world, of seed, feather, egg, insect, soil, root, love, kindness, medicine, beauty, body and natures alchemical skills.

Free Writing -
Start the process of journaling with free writing. If you are unsure what that means follow this link and read the description. Give yourself about 20 minutes if you can but you can do a longer or shorter stretch depending on your own needs.
Prompts -
I often give timings for these, but I feel you should use the timing that suits you the most, for you know how much time you have available to you. Each prompt could be anything from 1 minute to 15 minutes. You don’t need to do all the prompts, just see which ones appeal to you.
When using these prompts, don’t hinder yourself with ideas of grand poetry, prose or wise words, but instead just let yourself start writing and just see what comes without stopping yourself, without judgement or criticism, but instead a healthy curiosity for the process. Letting yourself honestly explore and the feeling world within…………
