Taurus energy is best utilized by using all of the senses. Have a journal close by. Then close your eyes as you move through the following: be with the soundscape enveloping you; feel your body in this space; notice the tastes in your mouth and what you're smelling; then let images come into focus behind your closed eyes. Now, open your eyes and write down anything that's on your mind.

1. Next, with eyes open, scan your environment and notice something unique (the goose on the rooftop, the cloud shaped like a dinosaur, the daffodil arching itself towards the sun...). Take in that one thing for the next minute. 
When 60 seconds have passed, ask yourself, "Was I breathing or holding my breath? How did my body feel while I looked at that object? What else did I notice?"

2. Just by doing this small exercise, you may become aware of how the senses are ignored while thoughts pull you out of being present. Which sense helps you stay most focused? Which sense is more challenging to stick with for lengthened periods? Try revisiting this 60 second awareness a few more times today and bring all five senses into the moment. 

3. Now that you've slowed down and brought yourself back into this moment, ask yourself one final question: "What do I want to strengthen or try differently during this new moon phase?" Write it down as an intention and then read it aloud. Notice how your body feels as you hear the words. 

Create Your Intention:
On this new moon in Taurus, I am ready to _____________________________________.
