Releasing the Dark Winter Energy under a Full Blood Moon

Writer: Sassy Little HippySassy Little Hippy

It's been quite a dramatic winter season, and I don't know about you, but I'm ready for the magic renewal of spring energy. I've had some INTENSE changes going on in my life, which will all be revealed in due time through this blog series, so bare with me as I start to pick back up where I left off before winter.


But this full moon, y'all...it's a huge energy right now. The intensity of it is pulling strongly on us to release some old patterns of thinking that just aren't serving us. And the full lunar eclipse amplifies that to a new degree, really shaking things up to tilt our world and force those shadows to the surface. So if you are feeling deeply emotional, or sensitive and reactive, that is a sign that it's time to slow down and pay attention to what it's trying to tell you. This is not easy for many people, because we are entrained into a lift of chaos and no time for ourselves. But this full moon is begging for you to give yourself some grace, and tune into yourself for some TLC.

So let's take this opportunity to shake off that dark winter energy together, by embracing a moment of stillness. I invite you to inhale a slow deep breath, hold it for 3 seconds, and as you release, start relaxing every part of your body into the stillness and comfort. Do that a few times until you feel relaxed in this moment while keeping in mind that there is nowhere else you need to be in this very moment, just here, just now. As you start to tune into your body, notice where you are feeling some tension, and honor those feelings by tuning further into that emotion.


Allow yourself to sit in those emotions, and observe, almost as a 3rd party, what those emotions feel like and see if you can start to have an understanding of where they stem from and what it is that they need from you in order to fully feel and heal. What do you need in this moment to walk through those feelings instead of running from them? How might you be reacting out of fear of these emotions? Who or what in life is triggering these emotions in you, trying to remind you that it's still there, but perhaps buried deep? Stay with this feeling, taking deep slow breaths when you start to feel the intensity arise.


This full blood moon energy forces us to slow down and see where we are out of alignment with our authentic self, which is who you are as a being, not what you do or have done. It's begging you see your worthiness, trust in yourself, embrace your imperfections, and to remember who you were born to be in this world so that you can fully live out your truth and purpose. Give yourself grace, understanding, and patience as you start to work through and process these emotions. This is a deeply personal and unique experience for everyone. No one else can do this work, or feel these feelings for you, so it's important to take the time to listen to what your body and soul is telling you.


A Heartfelt Full Blood Moon Poem


Under the full moon’s ancient gaze

A pull so strong, a force that sways.

It tugs at our hearts, our minds, our souls

Unraveling the patterns we've tried to control.


In the silence of this lunar night

The shadows emerge, they take their flight.

Stirring emotions, raw and deep

Awakening things we’ve buried to sleep.

This energy, vast, cannot be denied

As it whispers the truths we’ve long tried to hide.


Old fears, old pains, too long held tight

Now rise to the surface, demanding the light.

Oh, how it aches to be still and see

The parts of ourselves we choose not to be.


But the moon calls us to pause and breathe

To embrace the healing we so often leave.

Take a moment, let it unfold

Release the tension, let go of the cold.

Breathe in slow, feel the peace

As the rush of the world starts to cease.


Sit with the feelings that swirl in your chest

Honor the pain, allow it to rest.

What are they telling you, these emotions so wild?

What have you hidden?

What has been denied?


In this moon’s glow, we are asked to see

The parts of us lost in the race to be free.

But freedom’s not found in the hustle and fight

It’s found in the stillness, in embracing the night.


You are worthy, you are enough

Imperfections and flaws, rough but tough.

This is your truth, this is your call

To remember your light, to stand up tall.


Let go of the fear, the doubts in your mind

Release them now, be gentle, be kind.

For this moon, this energy, this deep lunar tide

Invites you to heal, to release, to decide.


So, honor the shadows, honor the pain.

Let the full moon wash over, like gentle rain.

And as you breathe, remember this truth:

You are whole, you are loved

And YOU ARE ENOUGH, too.


Sending you love, light and laughter as you navigate complexities of this full moon energy, that will play out over the next couple of weeks.
