Healing Laughter#051 Super New Moon in AquariusJanuary 21, 2023: Aquarius New Moon | 12:53 PM Pacific | 1°, 32”
This a Super New Moon - meaning it’s not just a new moon, but the new moon will occur when the moon is closer to Earth than normal, so the moon’s pull will be greater, the energy may be more intense.
And when I started to look closer at the aspects, the energy at play here, I do think this will be a potent and powerful New Moon. Meaning those who take the time to use this energy to their advantage may be pleasantly surprised when the Aquariu...2023-01-1721 min
Healing Laughter#051 Thank You, Harry & Meghan, for Highlighting Toxic FamiliesPrince Harry and Meghan Markle are once again dominating the headlines. This time it’s because of the content Harry included in his new autobiography, “Spare.”
Full Blog: https://elevatedaura.com/thank-you-harry-meghan-for-highlighting-toxic-families/
I had no intention of commenting further than I already have on Harry and Meghan, but I started to hear things like “why is Harry revealing so many personal details about his family? Didn’t he ask for privacy?” followed by a bunch of chuckles and eyerolls. And it honestly pissed me off because so much of their story feels like my own story.

The Witch Wound is the intergenerational trauma that has been passed down through our ancestors for being different, unique, working as a midwife, herbalist, healer. So the witch wound is the pain that we hold of a past life where we, ourselves, were persecuted and hunted for being what people perceive as “witches.”

It's hard to prepare for the unexpected, but we can prepare our heart, body, mind, and soul, for changes. One way we can do this is by remembering this energy is happening FOR us, not TO us, and we can prepare like any Taurus would love to do - by finding the little things that ground us, calm us, soothe us, and remind us it is safe...2021-11-1824 minHealing Laughter#022 Why Forgiveness is All About Self LoveGratitude, forgiveness. These are big themes as the end of the year ramps up, it’s all about forgiveness, family, food, and for survivors of familial narcissistic abuse, those of us who are estranged, this time of year can be incredibly triggering.
Because when we as adult children of narcissists leave and go no contact, the world around us does not understand. When we become estranged it makes our remaining family - if there is any- uncomfortable, it makes our friends uncomfortable, it really just makes a lot of people feel really uncomfortable. But and this is a...2021-11-0731 minHealing Laughter#021 Life UpdateMercury retrograde has been kicking my ass as I try to get this self-love after narcissistic abuse online course up and running.
