Leo Full Moon: The Power of Being Seen

The Leo Full Moon peaks this Sunday at 9.00am Sydney time, arriving as as a reminder of something many of us have forgotten: that we are meant to be felt, not just understood.

Leo is the sign of the heart, and this Full Moon brings our attention to the place where life moves through us most vividly. It illuminates our capacity for warmth, desire, creativity, presence as a lived, embodied experience.

This is what Leo energy offers: permission to take up space, to share from the heart, to be witnessed in our wholeness.

And sometimes, that witnessing can feel profoundly uncomfortable for us. Being fully seen is one of the most vulnerable experiences we can have, but also, the most liberating.

And so we borrow from Leo here, who is ruled by the Sun, the source of light, warmth, life itself.

Full Moons bring things into visibility so that they can be released, and this one is illuminating the places where we start to dim ourselves. We want to let go of the habit of contraction and allow ourselves to take up space again.

And so this Leo Full Moon, I’m inviting you to ask:

• Where in my life am I holding back my natural radiance?

  
  

• What part of me wants to be seen but doesn’t yet feel safe to be expressed?

  
  

• What does it feel like in my body when I allow myself to take up space?

  
  

• Who or what allows me to be fully myself?

  
  

In Tantric philosophy, healing comes from presence and staying with the sensations, emotions, and energy as it moves through us.

To be witnessed in our expression without interruption is profoundly regulating to the nervous system.

When a body is allowed to express without judgment - through breath, sound, movement, stillness - something begins to shift and the parts of us that have been held back start to trust again and the body remembers that it is safe to take up space.

This requires courage - the energetic signature of Leo - because it requires the willingness to show up without our armour and to share how we really feel with somebody else.

This is the essence of the work I hold in private sessions and Tantric Ritual Nights: creating containers where the body can express what it wants to.

Where to practice being seen

If you are longing for spaces where your aliveness is welcomed and witnessed:

• Private sessions offer a deeply held environment for embodied expression, nervous system regulation and heart-led presence.

• Tantric Ritual Nights are communal containers devoted to witnessing, being witnessed and grounding connection.
