Serene Valley News & Latest Updates Welcome to the March edition of Serene Valley News & Latest Updates. As we move into March, we take a moment to reflect on the passage of time. Although time is a human construct, the calendar keeps moving and when we feel time gets away from us, we're reminded of the fleeting nature of time and the importance of cherishing each moment. In this month's newsletter, we have our regular monthly segments along with some new ones. Starting with our March Special Offer, my personal "Woohoo!" Award Winning moment. For our monthly local business shoutout this month, we’re shining a spotlight on Whimsical Intent, and in our Spiritual Guidance segment, we have provided a Full Moon ritual you can use for the Micro Full Moon on March 25th. I'm excited to share a popular blog post featuring My Top 7 Favourite Crystals for Healing Anxiety, Stress, and Depression, along with our regular segments on my monthly crystal suggestions and yoga poses. May this month be filled with alignment with your heart's true desires. Here's to a journey of fulfilment and purpose for each and every one of you. |

March Spiritual Practices Guide Full Moon Ritual 25th March Micro Full Moon |
|
|
We saw our first micromoon last month in February and we will experience our second this month on 25th March at 5.00 pm Brisbane time. A micromoon is when a full moon or a new moon coincides with apogee, the point in the moon's orbit farthest away from Earth. This full moon is also known as the 'Worm Moon', used by the Old Farmer's Almanac in America and Europe. Try our Moon Ritual or Incorporate this Practice into your Existing Ritual This simple framework is a powerful and transformative moon ritual. Begin by using the elemental symbols, each representing a vital aspect of nature and spirituality: Earth: Choose a crystal (like clear quartz) and a bowl of salt. Air: Options are incense, palo santo, or sage. Fire: Light a candle. Water: Prepare sacred water using purified water with additional salt, or if you’re able, use sea water. Spirit: Adorn your space with an ascended master or deity statue or image. Remember, your tools need not be extravagant try to use the materials you already have. Consider a cleansing ritual bath prior to this ritual or skip straight to setting up your space. When we are cleansing, purification and protection help create a sanctuary for your sacred practice. This ensures a serene environment free from negative energies, entities and distractions. Determine the cardinal points: north, east, south, and west. Place your elemental symbols accordingly with the items mentioned above. North: Crystal and bowl of salt (earth) East: Incense (air) South: Candle (fire) West: Sacred water (water) Centre: Deity statue (spirit) Invocation and clockwise walking (pradakshina), open the circle and invoke the guardians of elements and cardinal points. Walk clockwise, starting from north, with each element, focusing on cleansing and protection. Light your air element, sprinkle salt and carry your lit candle as you walk. Envision protective white Love & Light surrounding your circle. Now with your sacred space prepared, you are ready to set your intentions for your moon ritual. I invite you to delve into your heart centre and begin to choose from the various options listed below to suit your intentions and desires for releasing what no longer serves you. |
|
|
Some ideas for working on the things which no longer serve you and you are ready to release under the Full Moon Ask your spirit guides and angels to present opportunities that align with your growth and fulfilment Meditate on allowing a healthy relationship with money and adopt more aligned financial practices Concentrate on words of gratitude to surround yourself with supportive and uplifting individuals, friends and colleagues Through the breath, release and allow habits, beliefs and energies to challenge negative thinking patterns Use crystals at the chakra points to build confidence and trust in yourself and the deep healing you are working towards Open yourself to healing by releasing past hurts and allowing space for emotional growth and renewal
Closure and gratitude as your ritual draws to a close, close the circle by walking anti-clockwise, thanking your angels, guides and guardians. Offer salt and sacred water to the earth with a prayer of gratitude. Finally, return your ritual tools to your altar or sacred space and rest, knowing your intentions have been set in motion. Let the moon's energy guide you on your journey of self-discovery and transformation. Let me know how your sacred ceremony goes, I'm excited to hear about your experiences. |

March Crystals of the Month Aquamarine & Bloodstone |
|
|
This month, we are blessed to have two crystals to select from during March. Aquamarine, reminiscent of the sea, embodies purity with its clear, greenish-blue hues. Bloodstone, a dark-green stone speckled with red, symbolises vitality and strength through its iron oxide spots. Despite their contrasting appearances, both gemstones are renowned for safeguarding the wearer's well-being, making them cherished birthstones for March and reinforcing a connection to health and spiritual purity. |

Bloodstone - The Warrior's Companion In stark contrast to the tranquil waters of Aquamarine is the bold and dynamic energy of Bloodstone. Aptly named for its rich, deep green hue flecked with red specks reminiscent of droplets of blood, Bloodstone has long been revered for its powerful healing properties.

It stimulates the root chakra, grounding and energising the body.

Half Lord of the Fishes Pose (Ardha Matsyendrasana): Start by sitting on the floor with your legs extended in front of you. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Slide your left foot under your right leg to the outside of your right hip, and place your right foot over your left leg, planting it on the floor. Inhale and lengthen your spine, then exhale and twist your torso to the right, placing your left elbow on the outside of your right knee. Press your right fingertips onto the floor behind you for support and twist your upper body as far to the right as comfortable. Hold the pose for several breaths, then release and repeat on the opposite side. |
|
Revolved Triangle Pose (Parivrtta Trikonasana): Start in a standing position at the top of your mat, with your feet about hip-width apart. Step your left foot back about a metre and turn your left toes out at a 45-degree angle. Square your hips towards the front of your mat. Inhale and extend your arms out to the sides, parallel to the floor. Exhale and hinge at your hips, reaching your right hand down towards your right shin or the floor on the outside of your right foot. Extend your left arm straight up towards the ceiling, opening your chest towards the left. Keep both legs straight and engage your quadriceps. Gaze up towards your left fingertips if comfortable. Hold the pose for several breaths, then release and repeat on the opposite side. |

The Benefits of Twist Poses As we move into Autumn in the southern hemisphere, nature's rhythm gently invites us to embrace change and transition. In some parts of Australia, Autumn turns to cooler weather with its crisp air and shifting energies. Here in the north, we continue with warmer weather, noticing the subtle changes from the humidity to dryer weather. At least, that's what we are hoping to see over the following weeks. This serves as the perfect time to move deeper into our yoga practice, particularly through the art of twist poses. These poses, such as the Half Lord of the Fishes Pose (Ardha Matsyendrasana) and Revolved Triangle Pose (Parivrtta Trikonasana), offer a range of benefits that align harmoniously with the spirit of the season. Twist poses are renowned for their ability to wring out tension and stagnant energy from the body, leaving us feeling revitalised and refreshed. They stimulate the digestive system, aiding in the detoxification process—a much-needed reset after the indulgences of summer. Twists help to increase spinal mobility and improve posture, counteracting the tendency to hunch forward as the days grow shorter. Twist poses offer us an opportunity to shed what no longer serves us, both physically and emotionally. Just as trees release their leaves, we can release tension and mental clutter, creating space for new growth and possibilities.
Incorporating these transformative poses into our practice can help us embrace the beauty of change and navigate the transition with grace and intention. Remember to listen to your body and only go as far into each pose as feels comfortable. If you have any existing injuries or medical conditions, remember it is wise to consult with a qualified yoga instructor before attempting these poses. |
