💜🌑 3 things to do during tonight’s lunar eclipse: breathe, reflect, release. breathe deeply and intentionally, connect to you. reflect on people, situations, behaviors, habits that no longer serve your highest self. release those things, feelings, thoughts. clear space to embrace growth, love + blessings💫 #vowtoself https://www.instagram.com/p/B7KIcHonpc-/?igshid=bvah9pt279a9
