Full Moon Journaling Prompts
Honouring the mourning moon
Hello and welcome to this full moons Journaling Prompts.
This November full moon is, in the Celtic tradition, the Mourning Moon, as this is a time in which to reflect on the year gone by, to learn the lessons of the past, to allow ourselves the time to mourn and/or to allow to decay what you no longer wish to be your story so you can walk fully into your life.
For these prompts, we are going to explore grief and mourning in honour of this moon.
All too often our grief is swept under the carpet and not brought out and given time to be felt and then alchemised. Grief shows how much we care for and love life and mourning is a way in which to honour that grief, that loss, that change.
It is important to allow ourselves to feel, to have emotions and find ways to commune with those feelings in a healthy way. When we dont know how, or are afraid of offending people, or being a pain, or not fitting in, or not being worthy, we as I mentioned earlier, sweep them under the carpet, or concrete over them.
The trouble is, we cannot pick and choose what feelings to keep and which to throw away. Our feelings are kept in the same place and so when we sweep one under the carpet or try to concrete over one, hide them all. Making it harder to access joy, happiness, love. Or when something beautiful hits us in the heart and we feel love, or joy we also become aware of grief, sadness or fear that is also waiting to be felt, which can lead one to fear feeling at all.
And so it is important to find ways to meet what is sad, what grieves us and let is mature us, let it carve a well in our hearts that can also be filled with love, joy and beauty.
These prompts, although based on greif or mourning are not necessarily related to a person, they can be related to an event, a habit, an animal, a being, a way of being, a belief and so on.
