Waning Moon: Rest And Release

This gentle meditation guides you into the calming embrace of the waning moon, a time for slowing down, integrating, and releasing what is no longer needed. Soften your body and mind as you let go of striving and allow yourself to rest fully. I invite you to connect with the quiet wisdom of this phase, honouring the natural ebb of your energy and welcoming a sense of completion.

This practice is perfect when you feel depleted, overwhelmed, or simply in need of stillness. By surrendering to the cycle of release and renewal, you create space for clarity, healing, and gentle self-compassion to arise.

Transcript

Welcome to this waning moon meditation for rest and renewal.

Let yourself arrive in this space and acknowledge all that your body's done to get here.

All the work it has done up until this moment and allow it to take its time to readjust to being still.

The moon is waning now.

Her light is soft and receding.

She asks us to do the same.

So let your shoulders drop and let your breath deepen.

This is a time for pulling back for letting your energy gather inward.

There is wisdom in the pause.

There is magic in the rest.

Picture yourself wrapped in moonlight.

Not the brilliant light of the full moon but the gentle glow of a moon in retreat.

You are safe here.

You are allowed to slow down.

Let go of any pressure to produce or perform.

Simply ask yourself,

What part of me is ready to rest?

Breathe into that part.

Hold it softly.

Let yourself empty out.

Let the silence soothe you.

You might whisper,

I surrender to the cycle.

I allow myself to rest.

I will return when I'm ready.

Let your breath carry you inward for just a little longer.

And when you're ready,

Begin to return.

Thank you for sharing this space with me today.

Have a wonderful day.

You
