Universal Themes for August 2016:
Radiance and Confidence

Confidence really is sexy. When you feel good about yourself, your positivity is contagious. And while it’s great to be noticed for your inner and outer beauty, confidence is not about the attention. It’s about the powerful and vital way you are being in the world. Seems like right about now, we need our full selves shining as brightly as possible.

Being a radiant being means engaging in the activities that bring you joy, that help you feel your best, and help you listen to your inner guidance.

  • When do you feel at your best?
  • What feels most pleasurable to you right now?
  • How are your talents recognized by others? By you?

Starting with the New Moon in Leo on Tuesday at 4:44 pm EDT, the universe is providing delicious clues as to how to be our full selves in service to the leadership that we all have to share.

Recommended Essential Oils:
doTERRA Passion, Spearmint, Rose, Citrus Bliss

Things to watch for: Internal Balance, Spontaneity, Natural Radiance

Challenges to navigate:
Self-doubt
What triggers doubt in you? Is there a pattern you can isolate and then shift? If you keep a journal of your ‘successes’ you can remind yourself of the truth whenever your mind starts to chatter.
Over-extension or over-giving
How might you remember to start with yourself more? During these busy times it is even more important to give to yourself first!

Affirmations to repeat:
I value all of who I am.
I know I am worthy of all that I desire.
I am creative.
I feel confident and energized each day as I recognize my value and purpose in the world.

(If an affirmation triggers what Julia Cameron calls a ‘blurt’ in The Artist’s Way, stay with that for a moment. Don’t just brush it away. There’s a message there showing you a place where you can grow. Break it down a bit and see where the sticking point is for the discomfort. And once you are there, you can play with it a bit to see what is true and what needs to be shifted.)

Blessings on their way:
Balance, Clarity, Self-Esteem, Prudence, Wisdom
