Well hello there!
Welcome to Celestial Gems.
I'm Gem,
And I'll be your guide for today.
This is a safe space that I have created and will share with you now.
It's a space for dreaming,
Imagining,
And calling in what you desire most.
Please also ensure you're in a physical space that feels comfortable and safe to you.
This meditation is set to align with the 2025 August 23rd new moon,
The fourth new moon in a single season,
Making her a rare black moon,
One we won't see again for another three years.
And just as she is rare in the sky,
So too is this moment for you,
A precious space and time to connect and dream and create.
This new moon is grounded in Virgo,
An earth sign symbolized by the maiden,
Connected to the harvest,
Purity,
And the quiet work of tending to what matters.
Virgo is guided by Mercury,
Who brings clarity,
Thoughtful communication,
And a call to refine and realign.
You can imagine this moment as a double doorway,
One side gently closing on what no longer serves you,
While the other swings wide open to invite fresh,
Intentional beginnings,
Like carefully selected seeds to plant for a new season.
As with all new moons,
This is a time for planting seeds,
Setting intentions,
And manifestation.
But with this rare black moon's energy,
She is amplified,
Beaming with power and potential.
This meditation is ideal to be practiced three days before and three days after the new moon.
But before we start,
Please do remember this,
The moon is always powerful,
Just as you are.
The power of manifestation lives within us all at all times.
A great time to manifest is any time you want to manifest.
There is no depletion or lacking in the great source.
It is an endless well of inspiration,
Energy,
And creativity.
There is great power within us all.
It's just nice sometimes to have a rare new moon remind us of that.
So whenever you're ready,
Let us begin.
Please get into a comfortable position,
Either lying on your back or sitting with your back straight.
Wiggle around a little until you reach that sweet,
Comfy spot.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through the nose,
Filling your belly with air.
Hold gently at the top of the breath and exhale slowly through your mouth.
Again,
Inhale,
Feeling the surface beneath you,
Supporting your body.
Hold.
And then,
As you exhale,
Unclenching your jaw and letting your shoulders drop.
One last time.
Breathe in deeply,
Holding for a comfortable pause.
Then exhale fully,
Feeling your entire body settle heavier into the ground.
Feel the warmth beneath you radiate,
Like sunshine sinking into the earth,
Supporting you completely.
You can feel the very tip of your skin,
The outline of your body.
Contact the surface as you begin to slowly melt into the ground.
Softly,
You feel your body wrapped in warmth,
Embraced like a comforting hug.
As we sit here together,
Remember thoughts are a part of meditation.
They'll pop up from time to time,
Trying to grab our attention,
And that's okay.
Acknowledge them as they appear and thank them for stopping by.
You can come back to them later,
If you so choose.
For now,
Imagine them floating away on a gentle breeze.
Imagine each thought like a leaf picked up by the wind,
Floating away,
Leaving space for what matters most right now.
Right now,
It's just us.
It's just a moment for you to stop,
Become present within yourself,
Slowing down time to remember your wants,
Your desires.
Once we recognize what we want most,
And what truly aligns with our higher self and purpose,
Our power to manifest becomes greater.
Take a long,
Deep breath in,
Using that breath to scan your body from the tips of your toes all the way to the crown of your head.
As you breathe in,
Notice if you have any tension or blockages.
Then,
As you begin to exhale,
Imagine that tension or blockage loosening and lifting.
As you inhale again,
Imagine the breath is being sucked up from the soles of your feet,
Allowing your breath to rise into your body from your feet all the way to your crown.
Continue to breathe through the soles of your feet.
With each deep breath in,
You feel the bottoms of your feet light up,
Energized by a glowing ball of white light,
Radiating a soft,
Gentle warmth,
Like a soft,
Cozy blanket or a warm bath.
This feeling follows your breath,
The warmth chasing your inhalations from the soles of your feet to the very top of your crown,
Radiating above your head for a moment,
And then falling back down as you exhale.
Breathing in,
Feeling the warm,
Glowing orb rise up your ankles and calves,
Knees and thighs,
Stomach and chest,
Your arms,
Hands,
Fingers,
To your elbows,
Elbows,
Shoulders,
Neck,
The warm,
Glowing orb floating across your cheeks,
Your nose,
Eyes,
And forehead.
Any tension,
Any blockages have melted away.
Your body is now open,
Light,
And ready to receive.
From this place of ease,
Step into the vast space within you,
Your space,
Your carefully tended space where you meet yourself with compassion and purpose.
Here,
You don't have to shrink,
You don't have to mold yourself to fit into someone else's shapes.
Here,
You are free to be whoever feels right to you.
Now,
In your mind's eye,
Step further into this space,
This home of yours,
Feel the expansiveness full of possibilities.
This is your inner garden,
Your sacred place to plant and nurture the intentions that will sustain you.
The black moon above you quietly hides in the darkness,
Powering you from the depths of the shadows.
With each breath,
Her power streams into your heart,
Filling you with courage,
Joy,
And inspiration.
Ask yourself,
If there were no limits,
No obstacles,
What would you create in your life?
What colors surround you?
Is there music playing?
What textures brush up against your skin?
What would you create if you focused only on what nourishes you,
Only what aligns with your values?
What would you create to support your higher self?
Let this scene in your mind's eye expand.
Think about what your life would look like when you aligned with your true self,
Your authentic self.
Look around.
What are you seeing?
Take a moment to notice who is here with you.
Do you recognize any faces?
Are there new allies smiling back at you?
New friends,
New tribes.
As the details of your story unfold before you,
Notice how you feel in these visions.
Do you feel supported?
Energized?
Alive?
Confident?
Loved?
Sit in these feelings for a moment,
And if you feel nothing,
That's okay.
Imagine how you would feel,
And feel it all wash over you like heavy,
Lush summer rain.
See yourself doing what you love most.
Painting,
Speaking,
Dancing,
Gardening,
Writing,
Building.
What is it that brings you joy?
See yourself doing that now.
What does your day look like when you live out your dream life?
How does it feel waking up in the morning?
How does it feel at night when you go to sleep?
Imagine that white glowing orb breathing into your heart space now.
With each inhale,
Your heart expands,
Filling you with grounded earth energy.
With each exhale,
Your path forward is illuminated.
Hold these visions in your mind's eye like movies of your most sweetest dreams.
Keep connecting and reigniting with those feelings.
Take a deep breath in through the nose,
Feeling your entire body light up.
Hold at the top of your breath.
Keep your visions clear in your mind's eye.
Exhale gently through the nose.
Deep breath in through the nose.
As you hold at the top of your breath,
Feel yourself as a complete being,
Whole in every way,
With everything you need and everyone you love around you.
There is nothing you need.
As you exhale,
Hold on to your visions,
Feeling them as if they have already happened.
You are already living out your dream life.
As we prepare to return,
Make one small promise to yourself,
A simple inspired step you can take in the next few days.
It can be tiny,
Like writing a note to yourself.
Under this black moon,
Even the smallest step carries powerful momentum.
We're going to return to our bodies now.
As we do,
Hold on to your promise,
Hold on to your dreams,
Hold on to your manifestations.
Imagine them as if they were a seed.
In your mind's eye,
See the rich,
Dark earth beneath you with a deep smell of ground and rain.
Using your hands,
Dig into the surface,
Feeling the soil beneath your fingernails and the pressure of the ground beneath you as you break and dig up the ground.
Take your dreams,
Your manifestations,
Your promise,
Your seed,
And place them into the soil,
Burying them.
Feel the power within you,
Move through you and into the ground as you bury your dreams deep within the nourishing earth.
Today is yours to own and grow,
To tend to,
Nurture,
And prepare for the days ahead.
Take a deep breath in,
Feeling your seed within the ground germinating by source.
Exhale,
Knowing you can return to this space anytime.
Begin to notice the room around you,
The sounds,
The temperature of the room,
The clothes on your body.
Rub your hands together to create warmth.
Place your palms over your eyes,
Letting the warmth seep into your skin.
When you're ready,
Lower your hands and open your eyes.
Thank you so much for joining me under this black moon and taking the time to reconnect with yourself.
I am so grateful you were able to stop by.
May the seeds that you've planted bloom and your vision burn brightly.
Until we meet again,
Goodbye my moon magic friend.
