Full Moon + Gift For You
|
Hi Reader, Today we are moving through the Full Moon cycle and a lunar eclipse. If you didn’t know this, you are connected to the stars, the sun and the moon! You are not separate from the beautiful cosmos that you are living in. If you are brand you to this connection and you want to explore it further, I created a video to support you in creating a healing ritual of release. Watch it below! And...because my YouTube community reached a 500 subscribers mark, I created a gift with a short and beautiful meditation as a thank you! You can listen to it here. If you know of someone who can benefit from being a part of our community, please pass on the video to them. Be well. Warmly, Gayane Kulikyan |

I felt tears rolling down my face as the frozenness inside me melted. Grief showed up again me after a romantic breakup....
Today, as I guided a group through a Loving Kindness Meditation—extending benevolent wishes such as “May all beings be at peace. May all beings be safe. May all beings live with ease”—one participant shared that she struggled with this practice. She said, “That’s not the world we are living in.” I acknowledged her truth. I too am aware of the world we inhabit, fractured by conflict and pain. Yet this practice is not about denying reality—it is about opening to another one. It is about holding...
