Cycles, Sep. 5: Dream Work at Full Moon


Hello Reader,

Welcome back to Cycles. In just over a day, the Moon will reach fullness and enter Earth’s shadow in a total Lunar Eclipse. You may already feel the shift—last night it rose through the trees, stark in size and color, a vivid reminder that this is a powerful time for release.

A Dream Practice

Two nights ago, I asked my guides to heal subconscious trauma, guilt, and regrets while I slept. The Full Moon is ideal for release, so I thought: why not ask for the big help? Sure enough, my dreams intensified and multiplied. Early this morning my husband even had to wake me from a nightmare—apparently I was making distressed noises and he “saved” me. :-)

Much can be resolved in dreams. We don’t have to carry everything into daylight. Fears, anxieties, anger, resentment—these too can be released at night. The key is permission: your nightly helpers will never interfere without it.

How to Do It

Before bed, simply think of your guides and ask: “Please help me resolve subconscious trauma. You have my permission to do as much healing as is productive.” Then let sleep do its work.

You may wake during the night from vivid or even frightening dreams. If so, thank your guides that this will never have to manifest in your life again dreaming or waking. To calm your nerves and return to sleep, try the Diaphragm self-help flow—I’ve included the JSJ sequence at the end of this letter.

Coming Up Next

Most of you voted for a Solar Return class, so I’m preparing it now and will share details soon. And if you’re curious what a Plutonian transformation feels like, I tell my story in the latest Effortless Reality episode here.

JSJ Self-Help: Diaphragm Flow

If your dreams leave you restless or stirred, this simple Jin Shin Jyutsu sequence can help calm your system and ease you back to sleep.

For those new to JSJ, you can explore it further on my website Travelers Guide to Healing, in The Touch of Healing by Alice Burmeister, or in my introductory Udemy course.

Here’s the sequence:

Left side

  • Place your right hand on the left SEL 14 (just under the left rib cage).
  • Place your left hand on the right SEL 19 (at the right elbow).

Right side

  • Place your left hand on the right SEL 14 (just under the right rib cage).

Happy and productive dreaming!

Effortless Reality

Here is the latest episode of my podcast Effortless Reality.

Effortless Reality

Hi, I’m Tatiana—a physicist turned spiritual explorer. In Cycles, I look at how the same laws that shape the physical universe also guide our inner lives—and how we can use them in practical ways every day. Each issue explores cosmic patterns like eclipses and retrogrades through both scientific and metaphysical perspectives, with simple self-help tools from Yoga and Jin Shin Jyutsu to help you live more effortlessly in sync with life’s rhythm.

Hello Reader, Whether you are hoping for an improved relationship, better health, or a new, more satisfying job, the answer begins with yourself. Why? Look at your astrological chart.

Hello Reader, I was preparing for tonight’s Cycles Lab on Solar Return Charts—you can still hop in if you feel called—when I was reminded again how the Moon always brings change. She tugs at our moods and comfort zones, and before we know it, something shifts—inside or out. Today, the Moon is in Capricorn, a sign that favors quiet focus over drama. It’s a good day to simplify, get things done, and pause long enough to catch your breath—especially with Mercury Retrograde approaching on Nov 9....

Hello Reader, Why is nobody looking at Solar Returns as part of a longer arc? I’ve never found a book, a class, or even a mention of it. Even my astrological software won’t let me create charts beyond the immediate year. I had to switch to another app and get creative before I could look at my Solar Returns for the past three years. When I asked why on the software’s help site, they said, “Nobody needs it.” Really? I can’t believe I am the only one who uses this easy and powerful way to see...
