This Episode's Theme...
#UNFILTERED Moon Musings :: New Moon In Sagittarius :: Adapting to Change, Pacing Ourselves, Twerking as Medicine
Happy new moon! Venessa and Megan talk about how this new moon in Sagittarius houses a beautiful energy to reflect on recent themes before Eclipse season arrives, invitations for working with our root chakra, and adapting to change. We discuss the importance of working with our bodies and mining our thoughts, and ways to support our internal fires so we don’t burn out.
We share some of what we’ve been working on to support our root and allow more flow (i.e. are you holding your pee too?) such as honoring our body’s rhythms, self massage and twerking as medicine. We explore some of our fave moistening and circulatory foods & herbs to support the flow of that heat related to weakened or imbalanced Sagittarius fire.

Show Notes
The last New Moon before Eclipse season begins - This is our chance to revisit themes, lessons, and patterns we have been working with since the last Eclipse back in July 2019.
Remember this is a MARATHON not a sprint. Be flexible, adaptable, open-minded and pace yourself.
Change is coming - Open-mindedness and flexibility will allow you to choose the best of the opportunities created by the chaotic
The importance of tapping into our parasympathetic stress response
Flight Fight or Freeze response, and how Venessa learned she’s prone to the freeze response
The importance of knowing your stress response and patterns to deal with stress in creating a plan and an environment that is supportive
Paying attention to and assessing our automatic thoughts is a good first place to start - catching yourself when you have a “negative” thought and notice what kind of response it induces in your body
Assessing the ecology of our thoughts and our body-mind (bidirectional) connection is one of the critical things we can do to support our health
Somatic experiencing and therapies and their use in releasing thoughts, beliefs, traumas, and energies
How Megan is working on NOT holding her pee, massaging her abdomen, and trauma work for her root chakra
How Venessa is working with her left hip issues and going back to her roots of dancing as medicine at hip hop class
Organs related to Sagittarius: hips, thighs, sacrum
How to soften our rigidity to tap into our inner healer
Practices we’re focusing on this moon: MOVEMENT Dance, moving body in rhythm; twerking as medicine “twerk werk”, rolling on the floor, hip openers, hip shaking, self massage and abhyanga
How you can get burned if you don’t pace yourself
How self massage is a process of courtship
How we are programmed to not like what we have, and the essential practice of DE-programming through sensual connection and listening to our bodies
What Megan believes is one of the most critical steps to healing (and the first place to start)
Herbs and foods Megan and Venessa use to support the fire element in our bodies, whether it’s modulation of inflammation or boosting digestion
Remedies for Imbalanced and/or Weakened Sagittarius: Anti-inflammatories and moistening herbs
