Grounding with the Last Full Moons of the Year

The final moons of the year remind us to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the natural rhythm of slowing down.


Yesterday, on November 5, the Beaver Moon reached its fullness, glowing with the golden light of late autumn. Traditionally, this moon marked a time of preparation and comfort, a reminder to gather what we need before winter’s rest. Even now, its energy invites us to reflect:

What do I need to feel nourished and supported as the seasons shift?

And soon, on December 4, the Cold Moon will rise, casting a calm, silvery glow across the quiet landscape of winter. It invites peace, reflection, and stillness, a soft exhale as the year comes to a close.

Where in my life am I being called to slow down, release control, or rest more deeply?


Somatic Grounding Practice
Pause for a moment and connect with your body:

  • Feel your feet grounding into the earth or floor beneath you.

  • Inhale deeply through your nose, filling your chest and belly.

  • Exhale through your mouth, releasing tension from your shoulders and jaw.

  • Imagine the moonlight — golden or silver — gently wrapping around you, bringing warmth and calm.


Two moons.
Two seasons.
A transition from golden warmth to winter stillness.

Look up when you can, breathe deep, and remember: you are part of this rhythm too. 🌕🍂❄️
