#UNFILTERED Moon Musings :: Full Moon In Taurus :: Clearing Throats, Manifesting Desires
Happy full moon bbs! Today Venessa and Megan talk about how this full moon in Taurus is an awesome time for completing long term goals, making dreams a reality, and understanding and communicating your feelings. We’re gettin crafty and creating our reality by hand and voice, and physically, we’re tending the throat chakra and organs ie thyroid, tonsils, vocal cords, etc.
We share some of what we’ve been struggling with on a personal level, Venessa shares her challenges with communicating and activating her voice, and surfacing of deep emotions. We explore Truth-speaking as it relates to our health - how we often hold things in so as not to hurt others, and how this can impact our physiology.

Show Notes
How this full moon in Taurus is an awesome time for completing long term goals, making dreams a reality, and understanding and communicating your feelings
Taurus vibes this moon - we’re gettin crafty and creating our reality by hand and voice
Physically, we’re looking at the throat chakra and organs ie thyroid, tonsils, vocal cords, etc
How slowing down can make us more “productive”
Megan’s journey with crafting, the compare and despair journey, and coming into her own
Venessa shares her personal challenges with communicating and activating her voice, and surfacing of deep emotions
Truth-speaking - how we often hold things in so as not to hurt others, and how this can impact our physiology
The conversions connection - converting our mind/heart to expressed words, converting thyroid hormones for healthy metabolism
The interconnections in our physical bodies and energy bodies, such as the connection between stomach (solar plexus) and thyroid (throat chakra)
We’re inspired to do a stomach acid “challenge” - ways to support your stomach acid this moon cycle:
Add in 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to water before meals, lemon to water, pure celery juice, hydrochloric acid supplementation if needed
Blue/aquamarine color related to thyroid/throat chakra:
eat blue and sea-based foods to support the throat!
Foods for thyroid: sea veggies (minerals/iodine), brazil nuts (for selenium)
Herbs for throat: antimicrobial: thyme, sage, rosemary, honey; mucilaginous: aloe vera, marshmallow root, slippery elm, licorice,
Making herbal gargles to use to clear stagnation in throat (energetic + physical) to support the vocal expression of truth; Megan’s recipe: oregon grape, astragalus, garlic
Energetic use of herbs, i.e. Calamus (aka Sweet Flag) - has a signature for the throat (roots look like larynx), has been traditionally used to support the voice, esp for singers in Native American traditions and India/Ayurveda
