different this time.

behind full moon journaling.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Interesting.
Yeah, it's fascinating how thispractice kind of taps into both
ancient wisdom and modernwellness trends.

Right Like on the one hand,you've got this very tangible
tool for self-reflection, whichis your journal.

Speaker 2 (00:30):

Speaker 1 (00:31):
But then you're layering on this whole other
dimension of like lunar energyand intention setting.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Right, and that's where it gets really interesting
, I think, because the full moonisn't just this like random
point in time, right?

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Right.

Speaker 2 (00:42):
It represents this culmination, this peak in the
lunar cycle.
Yeah, and across cultures andthroughout history, it's been
seen as a very powerful time forrelease and renewal.

Speaker 1 (00:54):
Okay, so let's unpack that a bit.
Okay, we know that the moonaffects tides, but how does this
translate to us?

Speaker 2 (01:01):
Well, for centuries, humans have really lived in sync
with these natural cycles.
The moon's phases in particularhave really influenced so much,
like agricultural practices,spiritual rituals, even our
understanding of time itself.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Like think about words like lunatic.
It reveals this ancientassociation between the full
moon and heightened emotions, orlike shifts in consciousness.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Interesting.
So even if you don't subscribeto like the more mystical side
of things, there's thisundeniable historical and
cultural weight to the full moon.

Speaker 2 (01:37):
There is, and that's what Lestallion is tapping into
with these prompts.
They're essentially giving youthis framework for harnessing
the symbolic energy for personalgrowth.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yeah, that makes sense.
So how does this actually work?
Do you have to be a lunarexpert to get something out of
these prompts?

Speaker 2 (01:55):
Not at all, I think.
Think of it this way the fullmoon is like a built-in deadline
.
It creates this natural rhythmfor reflection and goal setting
like a monthly check-in withyourself, precisely okay and
listallion's prompts offer thisframework for that check-in.

Speaker 1 (02:13):

future planning relationshipsyeah really a whole spectrum of
personal growth themes and theyreally emphasize that there's no
right or wrong way to journal.

Speaker 2 (02:25):

Speaker 1 (02:26):
But for someone who's like new to this, yeah, right.
What makes a journaling prompttruly effective?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
That's a good question.
Yeah, a good effective promptshould do a few things.

Speaker 1 (02:36):
OK.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
First, it sparks introspection.
It makes you think about yourthoughts and your feelings more.
Second, it helps you connectthe dots right so maybe
revealing patterns in yourbehavior or uncovering hidden
beliefs?

Speaker 1 (02:49):
so it's not just about like venting yeah, it's
about uncovering insights thatcan actually lead to change
exactly.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
Okay, and that's where that third element comes
in.
Okay, a good prompt shouldultimately lead to actionable
insights.
Yeah, it's not enough to simplyfeel something, but it's asking
yourself okay, now what?
How can I use this awareness tomove forward?

Speaker 1 (03:12):
Okay, I'm starting to see the appeal here.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
But with 50 prompts it's easy to get overwhelmed.
Were there any thatparticularly stood out to you?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Yeah, several.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
But one I found particularly powerful was
reflect on a recent failure.
What did it teach you and howcan you use this lesson moving
forward?

Speaker 1 (03:32):
Interesting because we often try to avoid thinking
about failure.
Right, exactly.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
But this prompt encourages you to reframe it as
a learning opportunity Right,and tying that reflection to the
full moon.
A time of release can beparticularly potent.

Speaker 1 (03:48):
Powerful stuff.
Now I have to ask about thisone what does a perfect day look
like for you?
Because who doesn't want tothink about that?

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Especially under a full moon.

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Exactly, it seems so simple.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
But it's incredibly effective.
It prompts you to define whattruly matters those small joys,
those meaningful connections, asense of accomplishment.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
It's like creating this roadmap for happiness.
Yeah, one perfect day at a time.

Speaker 2 (04:12):
Exactly, and by revisiting this prompt each
month, you can track how yourvision evolves and identify
steps to make those perfect dayelements a more consistent part
of your life.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Okay, so for you listening, if this whole full
moon journaling thing peakedyour curiosity, maybe give it a
shot, even if that whole lunarconnection feels a little out
there.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Right.

Speaker 1 (04:37):
The prompts themselves can be really
powerful tools forself-discovery.

Absolutely.
You might be surprised at theinsights that emerge when you

discover a newfound appreciationfor the cycles of the moon and
their influence on your own life.

It's like Lestallion says embrace the rhythm of
growth.
And speaking of rhythms, here'ssomething to chew on.
Lestallion focuses on themoon's cycle.

Speaker 2 (05:02):
Right.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
But what about your own personal rhythms?
Are there patterns in yourenergy, your creativity, even
your relationships that follow acycle?
It might not be lunar.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Right.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
But perhaps there's a rhythm there worth exploring
until next time.
