⚡️ In the Toltec tradition, words are considered to be sacred and powerful. They have the ability to create and destroy, to heal, and to harm. Therefore, being impeccable with your word means using your words to create positive outcomes and to align with truth and love.

💬 To be impeccable with your word, you must first speak with integrity. This means being honest and authentic in your communication, and not saying anything that you do not mean. You should also avoid using your words to spread negativity or harm others. Instead, use your words to uplift and inspire, reinforce positive beliefs and attitudes, and create harmony and understanding.

💡Being impeccable with your word requires that you speak with a clear and honest intention. Your words should reflect your true intentions, and you should not use your words to manipulate or deceive others. When you speak with a clear and honest intention, you create a positive energy that can uplift and inspire others.

🤝 In the Toltec tradition, being impeccable with your word is seen as a sacred agreement that you make with yourself and with the universe. It is a commitment to using your words to create positive change in your life and in the world around you.

❤️ When you are impeccable with your word, you align yourself with truth and love, and you become a powerful force for good in the world.

Happy Full Moon! Grandmother Moon is illuminating and amplifying the energy of Self for us tonight at the Good Vibes Healing Haven and we know it’s good to be self-centered, that is to say, centered-in-self. By focusing on your own priorities, upholding your standards and fiercely protecting your boundaries, you get to experience the life you want to live, instead of the one someone else thinks is a good idea. You are the center of your own universe! If you’re not sure where to focus, shut out distractions, quiet the ego self and listen to what your true self has to say. Re-visit your standards. What do you need to thrive? What (more like who...) are you no longer available for? It’s not selfish to choose yourself, it’s only selfish to expect others to choose your needs over theirs

The New Moon represents both the end and the beginning of a lunar cycle. During the time of the Dark Moon, Grandmother disappears from our view and although we may not always realize it, we can feel the effects of this, just as we notice changes during a full moon. We may feel blocked as the moon is essentially blocked from our view. We may feel heavy and dark or moody. We may feel fatigued or simply not interested in socializing. Our appetite and energy may change. All this until the new Crescent appears, marking the beginning of a new cycle when we may notice that all the emotional crises begin to ease as we move closer and closer to the light of the full moon.

Women are more likely to notice these effects as they are closely related to the menstrual phase of a woman’s cycle. Just as women may experience more mental, emotional, physical and spiritual harmony when they are in alignment with the inevitable fluxuations, we can all experience more harmony during the New Moon by going with the flow of this powerfully renewing energy. We can all give ourselves space to rest, go within and listen to what our bodies are asking for. We can all release something that no longer brings us joy or peace. We can all, however temporarily, surrender to the darkness and experience the miracle of energetic rebirth.

Ever do a New Moon Ritual? If not, why not try it? We could all use a Reset. All it takes is your intention and a little imagination. You don’t even need much space to create an altar or sacred space like this one (made from a former plant stand) where you can be alone. Yes, you can even do it in the bathroom if that’s your only private, or most comfortable space. You can certainly incorporate a ritual bath or shower too!

Not sure how to set up a sacred space? There’s no right or wrong way, but it’s a good idea to start by representing the elements of AIR, WATER, FIRE AND EARTH. More than just their physical expressions, these items represent the energetic power present within them, the power that ultimately manifests into our physical plane. ETHER or space is always present around you, but you could include some personally spiritual items or symbols to represent the All That Is. Consider including pictures of loved ones or artwork to represent an emotion or state of being you want to connect with or embody. Here we’ve chosen a Oaxacan xilografía, or hand-carved print, titled ‘Sacrificio’ (Sacrifice) by because it reminds us that although we may energetically “die” at the end of a cycle, and that can be painful or uncomfortable, it ultimately paves the way for more expanded energy and experience to come in. This is also a great time for divination tools like a pendulum, tarot cards or I Ching to help you sort through the heavy energy and figure out what is weighing you down.
Perhaps most importantly, you want to include something for energy clearing. We are really feeling mugwort lately and have some hanging around (thank you Elijah! ) and burning (called moxa - used in TCM to move energy around the body). Crystals can also be a beautiful addition to any sacred space if you connect with them. Dark crystals like Black Tourmaline absorb negative energy that may be encouraging negative thoughts, feelings or habits. Selenite is one of the most powerful crystals to bring lighter, brighter energy to your space and it will cleanse the other crystals you place on or near it. You can also burn incense or scented oils and complete the ambiance with light music that resonates with your heart, we recommend something rhythmic and soul-touching rather than radio hits. Try dancing like nobody's watching, crafting, coloring or anything that allows you to express your creativity. That will help transmute any stuck or overactive energy within you that may be manifesting as icky feelings. Be sure to hydrate and have fun with it!

Already have experience with New Moon or similar rituals? Let us know what works for you!

Want to get involved and see how it’s done? Join us on July 28th for a hospitality industry New Moon Ritual live from New Orleans at our RESET House during Tales of the Cocktail!

Healthy Father’s Day! Dad was your first teacher, even if he did little more than lend his sexual energy to help create you. Practice discernment with his wisdom. You are here now and free (Happy Juneteenth!!!) to make your own choices. You are worthy of love.

Some people experience harmonious relationships with their fathers, most of us do not. Perhaps you don’t have awareness of each other, he’s transitioned from this life into another experience or you’re simply estranged. Perhaps you’ve been forced apart by circumstances or people that did not have your best interests in mind. Whatever the reasons, consider parenting yourself this Father’s Day by rewriting your story. Write down what you would’ve wanted Pop to say and do. Write down what being a father means to you and do those things for yourself. Draw a picture of the kind of hero you wished he could’ve been and then recognize that you’re looking into your own heart.

Forgive yourself for all the animosity you hold for this person you don’t know or don’t have a good relationship with. Forgive yourself for all of the times you cried helpless on deaf ears. Forgive yourself for building a wall around your heart to block both pain and love. Forgive yourself for the punishments you endured when you were little. Forgive yourself for harming your own body once you got big. Forgive yourself for believing the lies. Forgive yourself for passing judgment. Forgive yourself for forgetting the details. Forgive yourself for pretending everything has always been alright. Forgive yourself for holding on to the past. Forgive yourself for following in their footsteps. Forgive yourself for moving into a future that looks different from what they told you it should. Forgive yourself for wanting more than they ever had to give.

Honor your father by giving to yourself more than he was able to. Honor your grandfather by trying something different with the children in your life. Honor your ancestors by breaking these painful cycles. Honor your father today by honoring yourself.

Beautiful souls, now is your moment. You have been feeling your energy being called to more because it is. A full moon eclipse in Scorpio is a good time to take a moment to examine what is really giving you life and what is draining you of your precious energy. Now is your moment. Is it better to allow the circumstances to change with you, through you and for you? Or is it better to remain ridgid in the limited perspective that was most likely given to you by someone else? Now is your moment to decide whether or not you would like to experience life from the perspective of your choice, or continue to play the game under the rules that were handed to you by someone who created those rules. This is your moment to decide whether or not you want to create different rules for yourself. Now is your moment. You can choose to transform or you can choose to remain the same. You are free to open a portal to the next dimension of your life. Now is your moment to play your own game in your own way. Guess what happens when you do that? You win. No matter what, you win.

Good Vibes Healing Haven wishes you a Healthy Mother’s Day!

You deserve freedom from your mother’s trauma. You are not obligated to celebrate her in any way, but if you choose to, aim for a Healthy Mother’s Day. Release the pressure to behave a certain way and remember to give to yourself first. Focus on gratitude and laugh as much as possible. You are free to walk away at any point

If your relationship with your mother makes this day difficult for you to remain grounded,
Consider:
🦋Giving sincere thanks for your mother (not necessarily to her)
🦋Being kind to yourself (nurturing yourself)
🦋Treating yourself to something you liked as a child
🦋Going swimming or spending time near water
🦋Doing your favorite creative activity
🦋Sacral chakra meditation
🦋Sitting on the grass to connect with Mother Earth

Consider avoiding:
🦋Accepting pressure to do say or behave in a way that makes you feel uncomfortable
🦋Invalidating your own feelings
🦋Negative self talk
🦋Watching TV or programming with ads

Happy Full Moon! Be you, unapologetically. Who cares what anybody else has to say? Let’s play a little game called truth or dare, we’ll start!

Truth - Do you listen to yourself or is someone else guiding your decisions?
Dare - I dare you to love yourself more than you have ever loved anyone else for the rest of the night (and yes it is possible to do it right now where you sit)

Have some fun tonight because you deserve it. Why? Because you exist. You’re here for a reason and it’s not anybody else’s business what that is or whether or not you’ve found it yet. Grandmother Moon is amplifying energy all over the place, what are you picking up on and what are you handing out? Your emotions are giving you the clues. How do you feel? Or rather, what do you feel? Seriously, ask yourself. You might have to slow down to catch the answer. If it’s not what you want, you can let it go, it might not have been yours to begin with. You are not at the mercy of anyone’s whim but your own.
