New Month, New Energy
FEBRUARY THEME & DETAILS
Calm Confidence: Steadiness in Times of Change
Livestream on Saturday, February 1 at 9-10:30am PST
Step into the intuitive wisdom of February and embrace the guiding energy of the High Priestess, the second archetype of the Major Arcana. The High Priestess teaches us that true strength arises from within. You can respond to challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence by grounding in stillness and connecting with your authentic self. This is one of two key energies with which we will be in a collective relationship this month. In the first-of-the-month rituals, we work with the key energies of the month to ground us in a deliberate moment of resetting our energy, mindset, and intentions to align ourselves in the current time and space of a new month and a new vibration.
We will have a brief wisdom talk on how this February/High Priestess energy will express itself specifically in 2025, a year ruled by Mars. We’ll break down the opportunities and challenges that come with this unique combination of energies with practical spiritual tips for working with the energy all month in your favor. We combine this with the potent benefits of sound healing through a sound bath, mantra meditation, and activating the seed sound vibration for the month - a simple and effective tool for aligning yourself with the month's frequency and to be used throughout the entire month.
During February, the need for harmony and truth comes to the forefront, empowering us to activate our inner capacity for calm confidence, steadiness, balance, and fairnessduring global and personal uncertainty moments. We’ll explore the interplay between inner truth and outer action and how to apply it as grace under pressure while standing in our authentic power.
Through a combination of sound healing, NAAM meditation (Neuro Activating Advanced Meditation), pranayama, and somatic movement, we will work to strengthen emotional regulation, foster resilience, and create space for clarity and grounded action. This ritual offers a sacred space to reflect on current collective challenges and your role as a steady, compassionate leader in these times of great change. Leave feeling aligned, empowered, and ready to step into the month with confidence and purpose.
With sound healing, mantra vibration, and pranayama/breathwork, this ritual will help you:
• Anchor into your inner knowing and balance opposing energies.
• Regulate emotions and align with the natural rhythms of life.
• Strengthen your ability to lead with calm confidence and compassionate discernment.
Why?
The first of the month is an auspicious and mystical time symbolizing renewal and an opportunity for fresh starts. It is a perfect time for harnessing spiritual energies – attracting positive influences and safeguarding against negative forces.
While the first of the month does not always fall on a new moon in a Gregorian calendar system (though it does in traditional calendars such as the Chinese and Islamic systems), every month we are given this moment for aligning our time and space with the incoming energy and unique vibration of the new month. During this time, a mighty wind is at our back to move us forward in harnessing spiritual energies, setting new intentions, establishing a positive mindset, and making meaningful changes in one’s life.
Whenever we may find ourselves feeling disconnected or stagnant, that’s the moment we want to do what we can to infuse our life with renewed energy and positive vibrations so as to tap into spiritual energies that can propel us forward. Practice and repetition of these self-regulating and centering tools such as breathwork, meditation, and sound healing is one way we can ensure we are ready as we can be for whatever comes our way at any moment.
ABOUT N.A.A.M.
NEURO ACTIVATING ADVANCED MEDITATION
NAAM is a form of sound meditation designed to activate new neuronal connectivity and increase brain synchronicity that corresponds to beneficial states of focus, immunity, learning, and creativity. The calm and clarity that result from a single experience of NAAM are due in part to the profound activation of the auditory and vocal branches of the parasympathetic nervous system that counters stress. NAAM is an evidence-based practice that is gentle and feasible for young children, aging adults, and everyone in between.
