Mona Luna - The Wild Soul Collective

Light. Playful. Rich. Authentic. Purpose.

These are my core desired feelings for the coming year.

Light is joy, ease, carefree, fairy frolicking through fields at golden hour, a sigh of relief, presence, all is well.

Playful is fun, silly, adventurous, taking myself less seriously, experimenting and being okay with failing.

Rich is infinite possibilities, an in breath that fills me with life, freedom to do and buy what I want, the delicious honey nectar of life on the tip of my tongue, overflowing with love and money so I can give give give.

Authentic is being my whole self, my wild self, and all the dimensions and archetypes of myself. The SoCal Surfer Chick, the Boss Witch, and the Empress. Fully accepting and loving myself regardless of who I’m with or where I am that even if someone rejects me, I’m grounded in the knowing that I’ve still got me, I’m okay, and I belong.

Purpose is intentional, mindful, impact driven, being who I came to earth to be. Priestess, Witch, Weaver, Connector, Bridge. Fully human and fully divine.

The question is
“what will I do to feel the way I want to feel?”

Lead 2 or more retreats. Keep teaching yoga. Write write write. Make more money than I’ve ever made before. Be carried away by music at festivals. Love deeply, heart open, walls down, raw and real and vulnerable. Speak with truth and integrity. Let myself be seen in my light, my joy, my celebrations.

How do you want to feel? What will you do to feel the way you want to feel?

Can you release this idea that freedom and self-expression is external and something outside of you?
How can you feel free regardless of what is going on outside of you, regardless of your schedule, your job, or how your body looks? Rather, how can you liberate yourself and have the courage to express yourself regardless.

If you were to embody your highest self, Queen Empress- how would she respond?
What is best for both yourself and those involved?

Come home to the Earth.
Come home to the stars.
Come home to your wild heart.
Come home to wholeness.
To interconnectedness. The one.
The one that’s been there all along.

and I are hosting our first retreat October 15-17, 2021 in the sacred desert mountains outside of San Diego! More details to follow. Send me a message if you’d like to be the first to know!

Sweet soul, the indecision you're facing can be tied with your inner child wounds: giving your power away to others and fear of getting it wrong aka perfectionism. The hard truth is that we will get it wrong again and again and again, BUT you are safe and it is okay to mess up.

Re-parenting yourself can help you remember or re-learn that you are safe to make decisions, you are safe to get it wrong, you are safe to receive, and you are safe to trust yourself. You don't need permission from anyone else. You already have the answers.

If the solution feels fuzzy, set the question aside and go live life. Let inspiration strike. Feel a resonant f*ck YES. When you feel that sensation in your body, then it is time to TRUST and ACT.

From a conversation with one of my clients.
This is what it looks like to work with me 1:1. If you want to know what that might look like for you, send me a personal message.

The healing process takes time, it takes practice.

It's you becoming yourself. You're shedding layers of the person that you were, that you were conditioned to be for 20 or 30 or 40+ something years. It's not going to happen overnight, to just be fully yourself 100% of the time. Sometimes it is two steps forward, one step back.

Keep shedding. Keep practicing. Keep being you.

I know you have been looking for another solution to this challenge, and it hasn't panned out. I know how frustrating this can be.

Zoom out, see the bigger picture here. What else is here? Is there a lesson, a message, a direction?

I see you trying to push and force and mold something to work, trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.

What is the redirection here? Turn around, perhaps theres something else available.

Take a big breath, go somewhere expansive, and zoom out zoom out zoom out.

It’s a natural human thing to crave validation. Often times, we seek it for things that we’re feeling insecure about. If we didn’t receive validation growing up, it can lead to over-seeking validation. This is okay too.

I know there’s so much in the personal development world around “knowing your worth” and not seeking validation, and we “should” be able to validate ourselves and all that.
Yes... AND, sometimes in order to get to that place where we no longer need to constantly seek validation from others, it can be helpful to receive validation and acknowledgment in healthy ways with healthy people.

It could even open a vulnerable conversation with people you feel safe with, something like, “I’m feeling insecure about ABC... can you tell me XYZ” and ask for the things you want to hear- you’re doing a great job! You’re beautiful, you’re talented, you’re smart!

You may find that once you’re feeling secure in these areas, you don’t seek the validation as much. It’s still great to hear these wonderful things about ourselves, but it no longer is at a point where it can make or break our day.

When I started to meet new people who were bolder and confident, just by them being themselves and accepting me, it helped me begin to open up from my own shell.

These are Expanders or Possibility Portals. People who are able to be bold and confident and who accept your boldness and confidence. People who are more than OK with you shining your light. You have such beautiful light inside of you that want to be seen. Some people will see that and be threatened by it and squash it down, or perhaps they squash it down because they’re not comfortable with their own light. It takes courage to let this light be seen, and when it’s new, surrounding yourself with people who celebrate your light is sooo important!

Surround yourself with people who see your light and say “Yes!! Let’s shine together!!”

The world needs you to be your whole self.

"When we begin to set boundaries with people who haven’t experienced our boundaries before, or even new boundaries, there can be some tension and adjustments to be made.

It can be hard to realize “oh, my boundaries are making people feel a certain way.” Remember that how others feel and act is not your responsibility. Everyone is responsible for their own emotions and actions.

Ensure you're approaching situations with “I” statements. It’s stating how you feel, without any blaming or accusations of the other person. An example is “when you do X, I feel Y.” This is one I had to use with a friend recently: “when you didn’t show up to our hangout without letting me know ahead of time, I felt disrespected and like I didn’t matter.” This can make someone feel uneasy, but you are stating how you feel and no one can tell you that what you are feeling is wrong or bad. What you feel, is what you feel. Period.

Lastly, sometimes, as we’re walking on this path to wellness, it could mean that we lose people along the way, ones who aren’t joining us on this path. It’s really sad and heartbreaking, and this grief of losing relationships deserves attention to be grieved. And as you keep walking deeper into yourself, into wellness, into full self expression, your world will begin to open up and even more aligned and resonant people will come into your life."

This was a message I sent to one of my clients in our texts in between sessions. This is one area of life I guide my clients through. And this... it impacts everyyyything. Send me a DM if you'd like to know more about what it's like to work together.

Boundaries are ever-evolving and a constant practice. What is your relationship with boundaries today?
