New Moon: Planting The Seed

This calming meditation invites you into the stillness of the new moon, a sacred moment of pause and potential. I guide you to connect with the quiet space within yourself, where new ideas and intentions begin to form. As you rest in this fertile darkness, you’ll gently choose a seed - a wish, a hope, or a fresh beginning - and plant it with care in the rich soil of your inner world.

Through visualization and breath, you’ll make space to trust in your timing, honour your desires without forcing, and create space for growth to unfold naturally. This practice is perfect for times of transition or whenever you feel ready to welcome something new.

Transcript

Welcome to this new moon meditation on planting the seed.

Sit comfortably or lie back.

Allow your body to settle into the space.

Allow yourself to be welcomed here and close your eyes if that feels safe.

Take a deep steady breath in and a long and gentle breath out.

And imagine the night sky above you.

Deep and dark and velvet.

A million twinkling stars and no moon,

Only stillness.

This is the space of the new moon.

A pause.

A breath between what was and what is becoming.

Feel into the quiet.

Let yourself soften into it.

There's nothing to do here.

There's nothing to fix.

The moon has retreated.

She's resting.

Ready to start a new cycle.

And all you need to do now is lie here resting.

Allowing yourself to be in this moment of possibility.

Just a whisper.

The quietest of voices.

The sound of your own soul.

Giving you the smallest glimpse of what might come up for you in this next cycle.

Let yourself listen to it.

What is your soul whispering to you?

Is it something brand new?

Or is it something you already recognize?

Something you're ready to begin?

Maybe a new habit.

A shift in perspective.

A hope.

You don't need to know how it will grow.

You don't need to know all the steps or what the final outcome looks like.

All you need to know is what you wish to plant.

Imagine this wish as a seed in your hands.

Small and glowing.

Twinkling as brightly as ever.

A tiny star.

Feel the weight of it in your palm.

When you're ready,

Gently place it into the rich,

Dark earth of your inner world.

As quiet and gentle as your new moon soul.

Cover it with care.

And say,

Either aloud or silently,

I plant this with love.

I trust the timing.

I welcome what's meant to grow.

Breathe into that trust.

Rest here for a few more breaths.

Let yourself feel the smallest,

Tiniest roots from that wish settling into the earth of your heart.

And when you feel ready,

Slowly,

Gently,

Come back.

Thank you for sharing your space with me today.

Have a wonderful day.
