January 2026 Week 4

January is closing out and on the other side is February 1 and the snow full moon. Love it!!!! and perfect week for me to focus on the energy of a full moon while I lead the cleanse this week.
I hope our intention this month - I am perfectly, imperfect - has served you in some way. Maybe you felt a moment of calm during a meditation with Om, or one of my classes or the dharma writing sparked a little self reflection and lessening the critical self voice. All month I used our intention along with the Japanese art of repairing the imperfections with gold as well as the vibration of Om and the “wholeness” that Om offers us - the wholeness of ourselves, cracks and all - cracks in our personalities, our relationships, our way of handling life, etc. I may have sounded like a broken record in my teachings and writings but I found these components of my teachings this month very powerful and “repeat worthy” haha.
To end our January intention, Even though the full moon is tomorrow, I am going to give you a simple exercise that I will remind you of this week, but it lines up with the snow moon.

1st, light a candle to symbolize our inner fire remaining bright even in the cold.
2.Write down - what you are ready to let go of - self doubt, draining habits, indulgences in sweets, alcohol etc - and safely burn or tear up the paper to signify its release.

Stay warm and enjoy these cozy winter days!
