Connect With The Emotional Energy Of The New Moon Through Collage Art Journaling
Feel It - Rip It - Glue It
New Moon Collaging Made Easy
The New Moon presents a beautiful cosmic clean slate, an opportunity to step away from bright lights and distractions. It invites you to quiet your mind and journey inward to meditate and reflect. What do you truly desire?
Align these desires with your feelings. How will it feel to have what you want to bring in? There’s a unique magic in collaging your intentions as it allows your thoughts to take shape and come alive in your hands.
Let’s keep it delightful and uncomplicated. There is no need for Instagram-level perfection here. Your art journaling session is your sacred playtime, a moment to truly focus on how you want to feel and manifest those feelings into your reality.
Why the Moon + Your Emotions = Manifesting Magic
The Moon corresponds with water, which corresponds to emotions. When setting intentions at the New Moon, focus on the feelings associated with your desires, not just the things themselves.
If you want a new home, envision the security and peace it brings. If you seek more money, think about the freedom and joy that could follow.
As you start to create collages in your journal, look for words and images that resonate with how you want to feel. Hold on to the belief that you already possess what you desire and the feelings it brings with it.
Infusing your page with that powerful feeling, like a fragrant tea steeping.
