Welcome to Sturgeon Moon,
For strength and abundance.
Just take a moment to arrive here.
Find your comfy space warm and cozy.
Let your shoulders soften,
Our hands resting easily,
And your breath finding its own gentle rhythm.
These few moments beneath the energy of the Sturgeon Moon.
It's a moon traditionally associated with strength,
Abundance,
Resilience,
And the wisdom that comes through living.
And most beautifully,
It's a reminder of everything that can be growing quietly beneath the surface.
So take a slow breath again.
And as you breathe out,
Allow yourself to settle a little more deeply into this moment.
Feel your body softening.
Breathing in.
And breathing out,
Letting go of any stress or tension.
Let the muscles around your eyes soften,
Release your jaw and allow the space around your heart to feel open and easy.
Just imagine that evening has arrived now.
You are walking towards the edge of a beautiful lake.
The sky above you is deep and clear,
And rising within it is the great blue.
Round,
Bright,
Sturgeon moon.
It is luminous and casting a silver pathway across the water.
You find a comfortable place beside the lake.
And just become still.
For a few moments just simply notice the moonlight.
It is touching the surface of the water.
Catching upon the smallest ripples.
And just watch it shimmering and dancing.
Now allow your awareness to travel beneath the surface.
Into the quieter water below.
There is a whole world here that cannot be seen from the shore.
Life is moving,
It's growing,
It's finding its way.
And your life is like this too.
Not everything that is changing within you can be seen yet.
Not every seed that you have planted has broken through the earth.
Nor has every hope found its shape.
Every new beginning hasn't enhanced itself yet.
And some things they just need the quiet.
Some things they just need time.
And some things grow best when we simply allow them to become.
So take a breath in.
And just remind yourself.
That what is growing within your life.
And just breathe out.
Letting those words settle into your heart.
And again,
Trust what is growing within your life.
Maybe you've been measuring your journey by what you can see.
By what has happened.
How far you think you should have traveled by now.
But tonight,
Beneath this beautiful moon,
You are invited to measure differently.
So,
Notice your courage,
Notice your wisdom.
And notice all those ways that you have continued.
Those conversations that changed something within you.
The boundaries that you learned to honor.
And the moments you choose yourself.
And those times you began again.
The love that remains.
The laughter that returned when you weren't expecting it.
And these things really matter because they are part of your abundance too.
Breathe in slowly.
And just imagine drawing the soft silver moonlight towards you.
It's a light that is awakening within.
It's strange.
Wisdom.
Possibility.
Alive.
A breath in.
And as you breathe out.
Just allow yourself to release.
Those old expectations,
Old ways of measuring yourself.
There's no need to carry these into the next part of your journey.
And you can just let it drift onto the water.
And watch the gentle current carry it away.
Another breath in.
Moonlight is filling your heart.
And breathing out,
Release and soften.
Let's bring your attention towards the word abundance now.
Just for a moment,
Forget everything you have been taught about what that word should mean.
Because abundance can be wonderfully simple.
A deep breath.
Your body that can feel the warmth of the sunlight.
Someone who makes you smile.
The unexpected kindness.
All the green leaves on the trees.
Music.
The abundance of a sky full of stars.
The sound of water gently flowing.
A hand that is reaching for yours.
A beautiful new idea.
Waking up in the morning.
Giving you another chance to experience this extraordinary feeling.
Life.
And just take a moment to notice what already surrounds you.
Notice what is here.
And just allow yourself to receive it.
Place one hand over your heart now.
Feel it's warm,
The gentle movement beneath your palms.
Sense your heartbeat.
And remember.
That you are part of this incredible,
Abundant,
Living world.
You are part of its changing seasons,
Part of the tides coming in and blowing out.
You are part of its becoming.
And you don't have to know exactly what comes next.
But just meet this abundant life that is here right now in this moment.
One breath.
One choice.
One beautiful moment at a time.
And you look once more across the lake.
And the moonlight is stretching towards you like a pathway.
Maybe there is something you would like to carry with you along that path.
Maybe a quality,
An intention,
A feeling,
Abundance,
Renewal.
Or maybe another word has just quietly appeared for you.
So just let it come and breathe it in.
That word is becoming a tiny point of light within your heart.
And this light is warm.
Steady.
And alive.
With every breath you take,
It grows brighter now.
And you can sense that light moving gently through you.
Through your chest.
Your belly.
Your back,
Your arms and hands.
Your hips,
Legs,
And feet until your whole being seems to carry a little of this sturgeon moonlight.
Wonderful.
Just quietly say to yourself now,
I honor how far I have come.
I welcome the abundance that is already present in my life.
I trust what is still unfolding.
So just take a moment here.
Breathing in gently.
And breathing now.
Let yourself simply be beneath this beautiful moon.
Beside the water.
Held for a moment within the mystery of everything that is still becoming.
Notice the abundance of the light.
Notice the abundance of life around you.
Take a deep breath in.
And just gently breathe out.
Now notice the sounds around you.
The natural movement of your breath flowing in,
Flowing out.
Roll your shoulders if that feels good.
Give yourself a gentle stretch.
Take a nourishing breath in.
And as you breathe out,
Just see a small smile beginning to form.
It's brightening your face.
And carry this with you.
You don't need to see your whole path yet.
There are things that are growing quietly beneath the surface.
There is a wonderful wisdom within you.
There is such strength within you.
And there is still so much life that is waiting to be lived.
And may this beautiful sturgeon moon illuminate what is already beautiful within you.
And may it gently light the way towards all that is yet to come just for you.
And you can trust what is growing within your beautiful life.
And so it is.
Namaste,
My friends.
