MAY'S FULL MOON

The Flower Moon

As we enter the brighter half of the year, our energies shift outward, focusing more on the external world and our physical selves rather than the introspective soul-searching of the darker months. If you've been following BuDhaGirl Full Moon Memos, you'll remember our recent themes of assessment, organization, cleansing, and letting go. Now, we stand at the threshold of blooming (opening), ready to share our inner light with the world.

May brings us to the peak of spring, a time when the Northern Hemisphere bursts into full expression of nature's abundance. Flowers paint landscapes in vibrant hues, tender vegetables thrive into robustness, and sunlight graces us with longer days. These signs beckon us outdoors, encouraging us to embrace nature fully and stay open to its wonders.

Let "open" be your mantra this May. Are you open to new ideas, love, freedom, releasing the old, embracing change, and nurturing growth? This month, consider embarking on a journey of vulnerability. Opening up allows us to reveal our true selves, not just our external facades, but our inner beauty and authenticity.

Engage with nature—smell the flowers, revel under the moon, savor leafy greens, hydrate well, and radiate kindness and compassion from within. May is your invitation to be open, to connect deeply with yourself and the world around you, embracing the richness of life's ever-changing seasons.
