Full Moon Message for January 3rd 2026

Hi All,

I missed you all so much yesterday for meditation🩷!! My family went through a rollercoaster of emotions yesterday considering our dog Daisy. We were sure that she would have to be put down after the terrible experience we saw her go through. Not sure if it was a seizure or a heart attack, we just know it was BIG for her small 7 pound body. It didn’t look good and we didn’t want her to suffer. Thank you to all of you who sent us healing energies because today she is showing significant strength and healing. We are so relieved and grateful. Daisy turned 12 this past weekend. We are grateful for all the time we get to have with her and we are hopeful for more time.

I also wanted to share this powerful message with you from my new favorite book I am enjoying. It is all about materialization, manifestation and clearing of our nervous system what is holding us back. We will discuss this more next Friday at meditation :

“ 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐎𝐅 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆: 𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍'𝐓 𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏 𝐖𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐅𝐄𝐒𝐓

This is the teaching that reveals the hidden block to lasting abundance.

You've manifested success before.

The promotion came. The money arrived. The relationship showed up.

And then... it disappeared. Or fell apart. Or somehow slipped away.

You blamed bad luck. Timing. The universe testing you.

But here's the truth:

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐏𝐀𝐂𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐏𝐑𝐈𝐍𝐂𝐈𝐏𝐋𝐄:

Most people focus entirely on manifestation—calling things in, attracting success, creating abundance.

But here's what they miss:

𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐞𝐱𝐜𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐢𝐭.

Think of yourself as a container.

If your nervous system's capacity is a cup, and abundance is an ocean, what happens when you try to pour the ocean into the cup?

Overflow. Spillage. Loss.

Not because the ocean isn't there.

Because your container is too small to hold it.

This is why people:

→ Manifest money then immediately have an "unexpected" expense

→ Attract love then unconsciously push it away

→ Achieve success then sabotage back down

→ Receive compliments then deflect or minimize

𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲'𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠.

𝐖𝐇𝐘 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐂𝐀𝐍'𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐕𝐄:

Receiving isn't passive. It's not about sitting back and waiting.

Receiving is an active skill—and most people were never taught it.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝟓 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠:

𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝟏: 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬

Deep down, you don't believe you deserve it.

You learned that love is conditional. That good things must be earned. That you're only valuable when you're achieving or giving.

So when abundance arrives, your nervous system says: "This can't be for me. I haven't done enough. I'm not enough."

And you unconsciously reject it.

𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝟐: 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞𝐭𝐲 𝐅𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐬

Your nervous system associates receiving with danger.

Maybe in your childhood:

→ Receiving meant obligation ("Now you owe me")

→ Receiving meant losing autonomy ("They control you now")

→ Receiving meant becoming a target ("Visible wealth is dangerous")

→ Receiving meant abandonment ("Success means people will leave")

So your system keeps you small to keep you safe.

𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝟑: 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞

You're excellent at giving. Terrible at receiving.

You give your time, energy, money, attention freely.

But when someone tries to give to you?

→ "Oh, you didn't have to do that"

→ "I can't accept this"

→ "Let me pay you back"

→ Immediate deflection or minimization

You've collapsed your receiving channel.

𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝟒: 𝐈𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

Your identity is tied to struggle.

You're "the one who works hard."

You're "the underdog."

You're "always figuring it out."

If abundance arrives easily, who are you?

Your system would rather maintain a familiar struggling identity than expand into an unfamiliar abundant one.

𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝟓: 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝

Receiving requires surrender.

You have to let go of controlling how, when, and from where abundance comes.

If you're white-knuckling the process, trying to force specific outcomes, you're in giving mode (pushing energy out), not receiving mode (allowing energy in).

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄:

Receiving is a muscle. You have to train it.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝟏: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭

This is the simplest and most revealing practice.

Next time someone gives you a compliment, notice your immediate response.

Do you:

→ Deflect? ("Oh, this old thing?")

→ Minimize? ("It was nothing")

→ Redirect? ("You're the one who...")

→ Reject? ("No, I'm really not that great")

Or do you:

→ Receive fully? ("Thank you. I receive that.")

Most people fail this test daily.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞: For one week, every compliment you receive, simply say: "Thank you." Nothing else. No explanation, deflection, or minimization.

Feel the discomfort. Breathe through it. This is your receiving muscle strengthening.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝟐: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 (𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬)

This expands your nervous system's capacity to hold abundance.

𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩 (2 minutes):

→ Sit comfortably, spine long

→ Place both hands on your heart

→ Close your eyes

→ Breathe deeply (5 counts in, 5 counts out)

𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟏: 𝐀𝐜𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐂𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐲 (2 minutes):

Ask: "What is my current capacity to receive?"

Feel into your body. How much good can you currently hold before you start deflecting, sabotaging, or pushing it away?

No judgment. Just honest awareness.

𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟐: 𝐕𝐢𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (3 minutes):

Imagine your capacity as a container in your chest.

With each inhale, the container expands.

With each exhale, you relax into the new spaciousness.

See the container growing—from a cup, to a bowl, to a bucket, to a barrel, to a lake, to an ocean.

Feel your nervous system learning: "I can hold more. I have room for this."

𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝟑: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 (3 minutes):

Hand on heart. Say internally:

"I give myself permission to receive.

I give myself permission to hold abundance.

I give myself permission to be loved without earning it.

I give myself permission to succeed without sabotaging.

I am allowed to have good things and keep them.

My receiving does not take from others.

My abundance creates more abundance.

I am safe in my expansion."

Let that land in your cells.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝟑: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞

You can't go from a $50K capacity to a $500K capacity overnight.

You have to titrate—gradually expand.

Think of your nervous system like a muscle. You don't go from lifting 10 pounds to 100 pounds overnight. You gradually increase the weight.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞:

Week 1: Allow yourself one small luxury you normally deny (nice coffee, fresh flowers)

Week 2: Accept help from someone without immediately reciprocating

Week 3: Receive a compliment fully without deflecting (every single time)

Week 4: Say yes to an opportunity that feels "too good" but scares you

Each small expansion trains your system: "I can hold this. This is safe."

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝟒: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡

Use this whenever good things arrive and you feel the urge to reject, deflect, or sabotage.

→ Pause. Don't act on the urge yet.

→ Place hand on heart

→ Inhale deeply (4 counts): "I am receiving"

→ Hold (4 counts): "I am holding"

→ Exhale slowly (6 counts): "I am allowing"

→ Repeat 5 times

This interrupts the rejection pattern and creates space to actually receive.

𝐏𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝟓: 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐀𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫

Every night, write three things you received today.

Not things you achieved. Not things you earned. Things you 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝.

Examples:

→ A compliment

→ Someone holding the door

→ Unexpected help

→ Money (earned or gifted)

→ Love

→ Rest

→ Beauty

This trains your awareness to notice receiving, which trains your capacity to allow more of it.

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐄𝐈𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐃𝐄𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍:

Stand up. Hand on heart. Say this aloud:

"𝐈 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.

I release the unconscious belief that I must stay small to stay safe.

My success does not threaten my belonging.

My abundance does not take from others.

My receiving does not obligate me.

I am allowed to hold more good than I've ever held before.

I am allowed to receive without earning.

I am allowed to succeed without sabotaging.

I am allowed to be loved without performing.

My nervous system is learning: Expansion is safe. Receiving is safe. I am safe in my abundance.

I am not my capacity. I am the awareness that can choose to expand.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐈 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞.

And so it is."

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐔𝐋𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐔𝐓𝐇:

Learning to receive is harder than learning to manifest.

Because manifesting, you can control through effort.

Receiving requires surrendering control and trusting your nervous system can expand.

But here's what changes everything:

𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞.

Expand your capacity to receive.

Then watch how much you get to keep.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲, 𝟐𝐧𝐝 𝐄𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 walks you through the complete capacity expansion system—teaching your nervous system to receive abundance, hold success, and finally keep what you manifest. The link is in our profile.

As you can see this is a powerful practice. My hope for this year 2026 is to help all of you (including myself) break through materialization blocks using new practices so that we all become who we have always been underneath the surface. As we continue to return to wholeness we find ourselves more deeply.

Love and Light to you all,

Mary
