Well hello there.
Welcome to Celestial Gems.
I'm Gem and I'll be your guide in this full moon practice today.
When you're ready please find a comfortable position either laying on your back or sitting upright in a chair.
You might like to shake out any excess energy or move about until you find your comfy spot.
Soften your gaze now or close your eyes.
Let's take a deep breath in just to ground ourselves in this moment now.
Today's practice we are guided by the full moon in Libra.
Full moons illuminate the shadowy parts of ourselves inviting us to cleanse,
Release and make space for something new.
When we combine this with Libra,
A cardinal air sign ruled by Venus,
The planet of pleasure,
Love and harmony and associated with the seventh house of close partnerships,
We are being asked to look at the ways we can learn to harmonize with others.
What inner harmony can we create and share?
Let's start by taking three breaths together to center ourselves here now.
Start to slowly breathe in through your nose.
At the top of your breath hold if that feels good to you and then softly exhale from the mouth.
Again inhale through the nose,
Begin to follow your breath inward allowing the sounds around you to softly fade into the distance.
At the top of your breath see if you can hold here for a moment and then when you're ready exhale from the mouth dropping your shoulders,
Unclenching your jaw,
Releasing any tight grips or tension in the body if you can.
Final breath in following all the way to the tips of your toes holding at the top and then gently deeply breathe out.
As your breath begins to return to its usual pace start to notice the ground beneath you,
Feel the support beneath you,
Holding you,
Feel the parts of your body touching the surface.
Allow your body to grow heavy.
There's nothing to do here,
Nothing to perfect,
Nothing to change.
Begin to envision a night sky in your mind.
See above you a dark satin sky draped overhead,
Stars scattered like diamonds faintly twinkling in the distance.
There's that cool evening breeze you only feel after a warm spring day.
It's inviting,
Cooling as the air softly glides against your skin.
Above you sits a glowing white orb so large and full it looks like it takes up most of the sky.
You tilt your head upwards towards the moon smiling at her as she smiles back and you begin to feel the warm glowing light of the moon glow down onto your face.
You can feel her shining on your cheeks.
She washes over you like a midnight bath.
You begin to feel the moonlight merge with your energy like water from two rivers meeting,
Flowing with each other.
As you breathe in,
Begin to breathe in the white light.
Feeling it gently flow towards you and then through you.
For the next few moments,
Gently place your focus on the inhale.
Each breath in,
You can sense the glowing white light flow through the crown of your head,
Moving down your face,
Your neck and your shoulders,
Your stomach,
Your legs and feet.
Breathe here for a few moments.
Noticing the connection between you and the moon,
Connected through light and energy.
As we breathe out,
Begin to notice the release with each exhale as though any tension or heaviness is clinging to the light with each breath out.
Gently being released from your body.
Breathing in,
Allowing the white light to flow from the crown of your head all the way to your toes.
Exhale this light,
Allowing it to take anything that no longer serves you.
Sit in that feeling for a moment,
Noticing how that clear space feels within your body.
Allow the lightness to pour over you.
Now that space has been created,
We can gently begin to invite something new in.
In your mind's eye,
See yourself moving through a space that feels safe,
A place where you can unmask and gently set down the roles that you carry.
This is your space.
It might be familiar or something entirely imagined.
Notice where you are.
Are you indoors or outside?
What does the air feel like on your skin?
Around you,
There are people,
Friends,
Family,
Neighbors,
A community.
Not overwhelming,
But supportive.
Each person showing up with ease,
Kindness,
And compassion.
Notice how you move within this space with ease,
Without needing to prove yourself.
As you look around,
Seeing the faces of the people that surround you,
You smile and they smile back.
There is a quiet sense of openness,
A gentle curiosity.
What might this person show you?
What could you learn simply by being present with them?
There is no pressure to perform,
Only an invitation to connect,
To exchange,
To exist alongside one another.
Notice the feelings this creates in your body,
A sense of balance,
Of harmony within yourself.
It doesn't have to be a tremendous sense of love.
In Libra,
We look at longevity.
And how harmony can be balanced and sustained.
Observe the gentle feeling of belonging without owing.
Feel that harmony extend outward,
Into your interactions,
Into the way you move through the world.
You don't need to force it.
It will happen naturally,
As you remain open,
Present,
And grounded in yourself.
And just as the Moonlight created space within you,
You now have room to receive,
To connect,
To move through the world with softness and intention.
Take a deep breath through your nose,
Holding for a moment or so at the top,
And then deeply exhale.
If it feels good to you,
Repeat after me,
Or just say in your mind the following.
I move through the world with openness,
Curiosity,
And compassion.
For others,
And for myself.
I feel safe to connect,
Just as I am.
I do not need to prove my worth.
I create harmony within myself.
And from that place,
I give and receive with ease.
I move through the world with openness,
Curiosity,
And compassion.
For others,
And for myself.
I feel safe to connect,
Just as I am.
I do not need to prove my worth.
I create harmony within myself.
And from that place,
I give and receive with ease.
I move through the world with openness,
Curiosity,
And compassion.
For others,
And for myself.
I feel safe to connect,
Just as I am.
I do not need to prove my worth.
I do not need to prove my worth.
I create harmony within myself.
And from that place,
I give and receive with ease.
For a couple of breaths,
Let's allow those words to settle within you.
It is now time for us to return.
Slowly start to wriggle your fingers and toes,
Allowing the energy to flow throughout your whole body,
Awakening you gently.
Take a deep breath in,
Allowing the warmth of your breath to flow through your body.
Pausing,
Just for a moment,
If you can.
And then,
When you feel ready,
Exhale,
Opening your eyes.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
Until we meet again,
Goodbye,
My celestial friend.
