Wisdom - Harnessing the Power of the Pink Moon 23rd April 2024: Empower Your Path to Renewal and Growth

Mon, 22 Apr 2024 10:38:22 GMT

As nature awakens from its winter slumber, the Pink Moon graces the night sky, ushering in a season of renewal and growth. Let’s explore the healing aspects of the Pink Moon and how you can harness its energy to foster emotional healing, personal growth, and spiritual renewal. From setting intentions to embracing self-love, this is a journey of self-discovery and empowerment under the gentle glow of the Pink Moon. ��

Here are some healing aspects associated with the Pink Moon in April:

✨ Renewal and Rebirth: The Pink Moon marks the arrival of spring, symbolizing renewal and the start of a new cycle. It offers an opportunity for personal renewal and the chance to leave behind what no longer serves us.

✨ Emotional Healing: The energy of the Pink Moon can help us release pent-up emotions and find emotional balance. It's a time to let go of past hurts and emotional baggage, allowing for healing and growth.

✨ Self-Reflection and Inner Growth: The Pink Moon encourages introspection and self-reflection, providing an opportunity to connect with our inner selves and explore areas for personal growth and development.

✨ Setting Intentions: This is an ideal time to set intentions for the coming weeks and months. Whether it's goals for personal growth, healing, or manifesting desires, the Pink Moon's energy can support and amplify our intentions.

✨ Connecting with Nature: Spending time outdoors under the light of the Pink Moon can be incredibly healing. It allows us to connect with nature's rhythms, grounding us and fostering a sense of peace and well-being.

✨ Balancing Relationships: The Pink Moon falls in the sign of Libra, which is associated with balance and harmony in relationships. This is a favorable time to work on healing and strengthening our connections with others.

✨ Embracing Self-Love: The Pink Moon's energy reminds us of the importance of self-love and self-care. It encourages us to prioritize our own well-being and to nurture ourselves on a deeper level.

Pink Moon Ritual: Embracing Renewal and Growth

Materials Needed:

Candle (pink or white)
Journal or paper
Pen
Incense or sage (optional)
Crystals (optional)

Instructions:

✨ Prepare Your Space:

Find a quiet and comfortable space where you won't be disturbed.
Light the candle and any incense or sage to cleanse the space.

✨ Set Your Intentions:

Take a few deep breaths to center yourself.
Reflect on what you want to release and what you want to invite into your life.
Write down your intentions for the upcoming weeks and months. Be clear and specific.

✨ Connect with the Pink Moon:

If possible, go outside and spend some time under the light of the Pink Moon. Feel its energy washing over you.
If you can't go outside, visualize the Pink Moon shining down on you from above.

✨ Embrace Self-Reflection:

Take some time to reflect on any emotional wounds or negative patterns you want to release.
Write down anything that no longer serves you and that you are ready to let go of.

✨ Practice Self-Love:

Write down three things you love about yourself. Focus on your strengths and unique qualities.
Affirm your worthiness and deservingness of love and happiness.

✨ Closing the Ritual:

Thank the Pink Moon for its energy and guidance.
Blow out the candle, releasing your intentions into the universe.
Keep your written intentions in a place where you can revisit them often.

✨ Optional:

If you have crystals, you can place them outside under the Pink Moon to cleanse and recharge them.
Spend some time in meditation, focusing on your breath and visualizing your intentions manifesting.

By performing this ritual, you are aligning yourself with the healing energy of the Pink Moon, inviting renewal, growth, and positive change into your life.

The energy is ripe for trying new things and getting a fresh start.

Have a think about:

✨New beginnings

✨Changing your standards and elevating

✨Feeling a new sense of empowerment

✨Letting more joy and pleasure in

✨Asking what fulfils you

✨Filling your own cup/self-love

✨Increased romance and playfulness

✨Tapping into creativity

✨Feeling the fear and doing in anyway

��

When you’re setting powerful intentions, you’re creating within yourself a new and specific state or frame of mind that serves your purpose in life. You’re sending a message to the Universe, to the world and to yourself about…

�� Who you want to be.

�� What you wish to contribute.

�� How you choose to touch the lives of others.

Here are some examples:

❤️ I let go of negative patterns and limiting beliefs, and I welcome in a renewed sense of self-love and acceptance.

❤️ I invite in abundance, prosperity, and success into all areas of my life, knowing that I am worthy and deserving of fulfilling things

❤️ I release any fear of vulnerability and open my heart to giving and receiving love in all its forms, knowing that I am deserving of healthy, loving relationships.

Instead, of some distant, seemingly unachievable destination, make your powerful intention your new reality. For example, instead of saying, “I want to lose 15 pounds,” say, “I’m going to treat myself to a nutritious lunch because I’m a healthy person and I deserve to feel energetic today.”

As you form your intentions, remember these important points:

☀️ Frame your intention in a present tense and positive tone.

☀️ Make your intention adjustable and attainable.

☀️ Be clear and concise.

If you would like to light a candle

*white candle* for new beginnings, or a *pink candle* for self-love.

�� Write your intentions and also include the reason why you want it.

�� Create a comfortable setting, indoors or outdoors and spend 30-45 mins on this exercise.

�� Visualise your intention and connect with how it feels to have it. Breath in that energy and release it back to the universe.

Benefits of taking Ginger

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 16:02:35 GMT

Taking a morning ginger shot may offer several health benefits, as indicated by the research on ginger's properties and effects. Here are some key findings:

Nausea and Vomiting Relief: Ginger has been shown to be effective in preventing and reducing nausea and vomiting, particularly in cases of postoperative nausea, morning sickness, and chemotherapy-induced nausea (Ernst & Pittler, 2000) ; (Rasmussen, 2011) .
Potential Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects: Ginger contains compounds like gingerols and shogaols, which have demonstrated antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and even potential anticancer activities (Mao et al., 2019) .
Metabolic Benefits: Ginger may facilitate fat utilization and has shown some effects on blood sugar and lipid levels. It improved insulin sensitivity and some lipid profile aspects in patients with type 2 diabetes (Miyamoto et al., 2015) ; (Arablou et al., 2014) .
Digestive Health: Ginger has been used traditionally for its benefits on gastrointestinal health, including its digestive stimulant action and potential protective effects against gastrointestinal disorders (Bodagh et al., 2018) .
Cardiovascular Health: Some studies suggest that ginger may have a beneficial role in cardiovascular health due to its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-platelet, hypotensive, and hypolipidemic effects (Nicoll & Henein, 2009) .

In conclusion, a morning ginger shot may provide health benefits such as relief from nausea and vomiting, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, metabolic and digestive health improvements, and potential cardiovascular benefits. However, as with any supplement, it's important to consider individual health conditions and consult with a healthcare provider.

Wisdom - Most people do not listen..

Fri, 10 Nov 2023 16:03:39 GMT

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand, they listen with the intent to reply” - Stephen R. Covey

Last weekend I hosted a masterclass session for a group of ladies in Bangladesh. A common theme which came about was around their own performance in their lives and how they can be there for members of their families in an inspiringly powerful way which is personal to them. Undoubtedly there are many ways but the four we concentrated on were- Questioning, Listening, Empathy and Reflection/Thinking.

So I thought I would share some additional points, observations or maybe challenges to think about?

How well do we listen? I mean really listen? I recently came across a visual by the Emotional Intelligence Institute, and I was provoked how they positioned the different levels of listening.

As a Coach, listening is one of the core elements of Coaching, in both listening to what is being said, and what isn’t being said. I’m sure many of us may believe ,or think, yes I listen really well, all of the time.

But, do we really, or is it a case of we might think we do depending on what might grab our attention? I recognise myself in all of these areas at different times, but what might be the consequence of not listening, or only hearing part of something?

What situations have we come across where we might not have been listening to the level we should have? Skilful, accurate, empathetic listening is one of the key ways in which a Coach can convert empathy. I have an experience where I finished my first coaching conversation with someone new, and they told me at the end of the conversation “ You listened to me in a way, which I don’t think I have experienced”.

There is a difference between listening to someone and listening with empathy and the impact can be significant. Looking at the visual I have added with this post, where do you see your levels of listening? Have some levels resonated with your experience? How well have you listened in the number of conversations you’ve had today?

How could you develop as a listener?

Practising Attention - Is about getting used to being still, silent and outwardly focused. Mindful meditation can helps many individuals do this. But many other practices and activities that require stillness and silence - like fishing - can help too.

Practising Exploration - involves parking assumptions and being curious. Things which come up in the mind can be written down and asked through questions for clarity of understanding.

Practising Observation - by listening without words. Observe individuals in a public place and take a guess of where their energy is at by the way they move, their expressions and or their dialogue.

Practising Resonance - Getting used to noticing what you are feeling. You can do that by listening to music, through art, theatre, spiritual verses, sports - anything that hits you first somewhere in your body without your mind getting involved.

Which elements would you practice?

Wisdom - Where Is Joy?

Shofna@justlove.life (Shofna Aziz) — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 16:10:30 GMT

How can you get to a place where you live in joy, making it a state of being rather than a future goal? ��

1. �� Live in alignment with your values .

What are your standards, principles, and things that are truly meaningful to your life?

What are the things that give you a sense of significance, a sense of purpose?

What truly inspires you?

I love this quote❤️

“Being congruent with your highest values will awaken your inner leadership and assist you in having a ripple effect across the world” Dr. John Demartini

2. �� Try to be completely engaged in something you enjoy.

Living on autopilot can take away from being fully present.��

Whether it’s going for a walk, coloring, dancing, or writing, when you’re doing something you enjoy, a state of flow occurs naturally.

Love this quote too..��

Dr. Wanis says. “The reason you have this extraordinary almost euphoric response is that you stop thinking about yourself. You lose the concept of self and become fully absorbed in what you’re doing. That alone is an example of mindfulness or living in the present moment where all of your senses are engaged in what you’re doing.”

3. �� Look for a sense of significance. In what way are you making a difference?

This could also be you changing your own state of mind.

How are you connecting to your surroundings?

Are you connecting with the life force energy around you?

What role are you playing?

Even if it’s listening to a friend or helping someone laugh, that’s what gives us greater meaning in life,

Old time favourite:��

Maya Angelou “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel”

The hunt for joy doesn’t need to involve chasing after something; it’s more about seeing what’s already here and learning to appreciate it.

Some steps forward also takes some unlearning, and that’s also a huge act of self love.

The answers and ways are within you ��

Have a try at these kinds of mindfulness strategies and let me know.��

Wisdom - The Art Of Being At One

Shofna@justlove.life (Shofna Aziz) — Wed, 06 Jul 2022 12:37:24 GMT

Being at one with Magnum (the horse) was paramount.

Kinda reminded me of being at one with life force energy, when you let it flow, loosen the grip of holding on and having it your way, only then do your body and mind move in the direction which is most serving for you.

Isn’t that just life?

Sometimes we are so stuck in our own ways of thinking, that we don’t have the space to count the blessings and continue creating and harboring space for fear, shame, guilt, and pain. These very things anchor us down, leading to heaviness and it gets too weighty to flow in the direction we really would love to be growing.

Take a moment and reflect on the blessings you experienced today, then do it again tomorrow, and then the day after and watch the load in your heart slowly become lighter and lighter.

It’s ok to feel what you feel, and it’s also ok to loosen the grip a little to ride on the universe’s wings.

Thanks again to Tonya Ellis (Horse Riding Instructor)

Wisdom - ‘Look Up & Look Into The Horizon’

Shofna@justlove.life (Shofna Aziz) — Wed, 22 Jun 2022 16:04:16 GMT

A year ago I had a dream (literally) and as I wrote the dream in the morning into my journal I remember my inner voice making a comment like….’hmmm nah’ almost negating that it could be possible for me.

In the dream I was riding a horse, he was a white horse and we were galloping through a sea that had parted to create a pathway for us.

It felt so real and I smiled to myself thinking I wonder what it would actually be like, what would that experience feel like? I had not heard from any family members or close friends that they had done this, so I didn’t have any first-hand information to go on.

That year in June, I visited a horse riding place and watched from a distance. These beautifully built strong animals. I didn’t commit to riding but just wanted to feel how it would be to be near them. There was a calm, warm, and nurturing associated feeling about them.

A year later, as I took my physical and mental well-being, high into my daily priorities, I started to walk a lot more in nature. To my surprise on my walks, I saw elegant swans, mischievous squirrels, calm ducks, laid-back rustic cattle, and majestic horses.

The dream came back to me, and I began to realize that it was a seed planted deep within, that I wanted to experience horse riding. I closed in and explored further and so many signs were showing up, encouraging me to do something which I’d only heard about. I decided I’d leave it to the universe and when the time is right it will come my way.

Lo and behold the month of June (1 year later) was a special month for me and I got to experience this with a beautiful horse named Pi. My trainer Tonya Ellis was amazingly encouraging and she really help me tune in and be at one with Pi.

As I reflect on the experience I’m grateful for the wisdom and awareness, that this was an act of pure self-love. Sending things out to the universe and having certainty that when the timing is right, things come about your way to experience what you need to experience.

Sometimes as human beings, we have the tendency to want things right away and it can become frustrating when the demand isn’t met. And intern we place these very things on the back burner and then forget about them. But when we learn and can accept, that the time from the moment we want/see something that’s inspiring till the moment we get to actually meet that experience, that in-between time is actually preparing us in the most relevant ways for our experience to be met head-on in the best way for us.

I certainly used that time, in between, to strengthen my physical body as well as creating the space in my mind to be fully present for something I chose for myself.

Enjoy the video and let me know what’s come about for you in your journey of self love.

Testimonial

When I signed up for coaching sessions with Shofna I really didn’t know what to expect but after each session I was always overwhelmed by what I had learnt about myself and how easily Shofna was able to understand and see me better than I did. I found so much value in the Master Key session and now know what my key values are and how I can find this when speaking to others. We also dug deep into my past relationships and she helped me let go of things that I was holding onto unconsciously. Certain feelings and emotions really came to light that I wasn’t aware of. Shofna helped me see certain situations in a different light and I really appreciate that. I feel much more confident in myself and what I want and I am so glad I had Shofna’s support.

Wisdom - Inquiry Learning and Teaching

Fri, 21 May 2021 14:11:04 GMT

The Power of Mistakes

The word "mistake" means you take the shot but you miss. What is good about this? It is that you took the shot and taking the shot will always be BETTER than folding your arms and expecting things to happen.

The brain grows a synapse when we make mistakes due to brain plasticity (Jo Boaler, 2016). This is like constructing a road in an area where there is no road.

Learning is maximized when students are taught to cultivate a healthy relationship with their mistakes. Mistakes are not bad, it is your relationship with them that is bad.

So, it is okay to make a mistake, this is a natural part of learning. I even congratulate students for making mistakes because I know that neurologically, something new has taken shape.

Everyone has a natural desire to learn!

Before I started my journey with Shofna, I was lost in a lot of ways. I was questioning every decision I made, I had no confidence, and I didn’t know my own self-worth.

Shofna helped me gain that confidence back, she made me see the positives when I only saw the negatives, she led me to see my current purpose in life, and most importantly, led me to see that my self-worth is priceless.

I have carried the lessons she has taught me through the problems and decisions I encounter. I can’t thank her enough for helping me.

How to activate Self Love?

Mon, 04 Jan 2021 09:15:40 GMT

This is a compilation of what self-love.

True self love is about blossoming into the best possible version of you, the version that knows no limits to what can be achieved.

It’s not so much about what you do (as individuals can act out of habit), but how you think and feel about yourself at any given moment, and how you implement the right tools and techniques to ensure the best output of the results you wish to achieve.

By recognising where you are holding onto thoughts and beliefs that do not serve you any longer, and upgrading them to the desired level, you give yourself the best possibility to raise your own vibration to meet with the next level required of you.

Ultimately it's about allowing yourself and really giving yourself the permission to become the individual you choose to be and have complete clarity and confidence to create the life you absolutely desire.

My Gratitude

Understanding your unique set of values is essential in today's world and having someone to guide you along the journey, has been paramount for me. What I have learnt from Shofna has helped me to not only achieve my goals and set new ones aligned with my values, but also attain a deeper sense of gratitude and appreciation in my challenges.

Our conversations from the personification of money, to the true value of self-love, and so much more, has left me inspired and open to cultivating new skills to better myself, improve my professional life and bring me closer to the ones I care for.

Her energy, love and wisdom have been invaluable and has served me, and will do for years to come.

Thank you, Shofna.

I was fortunate enough to go on this journey of self-confidence and self-love with Shofna for 3 months.

In every session, she was able to help me view life in different perspectives, check in with my energy and help me see how I was valued and how my past has lead me to where I am now.

She’s an incredible, wise and empathetic person who really knows what’s best for you and how to help you progress through your circumstances.

I have learnt so much, of which I hope to continue to exercise every day and build on the values that she has taught me. A quote I have taken away from her and one which I will keep with me at all times is,
“everything that happens is on the way and not in the way”

Wisdom - Conscious and Unconscious Identity

Fri, 27 Nov 2020 11:07:37 GMT

Identity of any person is either conscious or unconscious. To have an unconscious identity means you are living from people's expectations, the projected norms and idealisms of family and society. So in essence, you are just repeating patterns that have been established long before you were born and therefore you render your life meaningless by living from an unconscious identity. Hence, we see many people who end up living unfulfilling lives, even though initially they may look happy.

Regarding conscious identity. The word "conscious" simply means being awake, aware and alert. This amounts to knowing thyself from deep within, being awake to your thoughts and emotions, connecting spiritually with who it is you are and designing your life in congruence with that. Here, you choose, you design your identity through daily self-awareness, consistently evaluating how the outer world mirrors your inner world of your emotions, beliefs, thoughts and attitudes.

Wisdom - Being Strong Is Strong But Sometimes Being Vulnerable Is Stronger

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 16:36:45 GMT

Some of us have experienced a consistent repetition advise of ‘Be Strong’. Those words have been heard by my ears for as long as I can remember, and I’m pretty sure many of you can relate.

What many of us may or may not know is that once upon a time many individuals learnt to live this way because they didn’t know how to exercise any other way of being. Whether they went through any type of abuse, heartbreak, challenge or pain they could only remain like this ‘rock’ in front of the world and therefore got used to hiding the trauma in their mind, and then they shared the same message with their loved ones, be it their child, sibling, spouse, family, friends and even colleagues.

I would love to invite you to this new dimension called Vulnerability which is not winning or losing, but having the courage to show up and be seen when we have no control of the outcome - quote by @BreneBrown

By being there with our feelings and showing/sharing them with others creates a avenue to teach how to process through things when we perceive the ‘going gets tough’. It invites the learning and growing wisdom to become even stronger than we have been.

For mother’s, you create the opportunity to teach your child and bond with them-in the most intimate way :-)

For partners, you create the opportunity to bring about closeness at a core level creating further growth and understanding.

For loved ones your spread inspiration and invite in possibilities which you can learn from, creating further unity.

For colleagues you can open up and create relatability and have further collaboration

There are numerous additions this authenticity can bring.

Everyone wants to be loved and appreciated for who they are, and being vulnerable is sometimes stronger than you think.

Love and Gratitude
