Welcome,
Find a position that feels supported,
Seated or lying down.
Make any small adjustments needed.
Soften your eyes or close them.
If closing is uncomfortable,
Rest your gaze softly on one point.
Let your breath arrive just as it is.
No need to change anything yet.
Notice the room holding you,
Temperature,
Faint sounds,
The weight of your body being received.
Name three points of contact you can feel right now.
Perhaps seat,
Back,
Feet.
Notice three sounds in the space,
Near or far,
And let them come to you.
If it helps,
Let each exhale fall a little longer than the inhale,
Only if it feels good.
You are in charge,
Adjust,
Pause,
Or open your eyes anytime.
If a part of you prefers certainty or control,
An inner protector,
Invited to sit at the warm edge of a circle,
Close but not in charge,
Offer it a roll and say,
Watch the edge and signal only if real danger arrives,
Otherwise you may rest,
Then thank it.
On this new moon,
The universe does its quietest,
Most potent work.
Like the sky above,
Dark,
Fertile,
Unseen,
We enter the same rich stillness where beginnings take root.
Place one hand on your belly and one on your heart,
Or let both rest by your sides,
Whatever feels safest.
Unclench your jaw,
Let your mouth rest,
Lips soft,
Let your throat feel easy,
As if a gentle yawn were a beginning,
Let your breath move in without effort,
Let your shoulders and back grow heavier into the support beneath you,
Soften your forehead and the space around your eyes,
Let your chest and belly soften,
Let your hips and legs sink and rest.
Take a deep inhale through your nose,
Filling ribs and belly,
And exhale slowly through your nose or mouth,
Whichever feels better.
Again,
Inhale through your nose,
A slow,
Easy exhale.
This time,
On your exhale,
Take two sighs.
We'll begin with a full inhale through the nose,
Gently filling your body up.
And this time,
On your exhale,
Exhale with a sigh,
Again,
Full inhale,
And exhale with a sigh.
Take three easy breaths now on your own,
Nothing to do,
Just letting the breathing happen.
Imagine a moonless sky,
Wide,
Calm,
No edges to defend,
No story to hold.
This dark is the fertile beginning before form,
You are safe in the dark.
Let both hands rest over your heart or lower belly if that feels truer,
Between your palms a small,
Warm seed.
If it helps,
Let it be one simple quality,
You are ready to grow,
A seed of patience,
Confidence,
Courage,
Creativity,
Or your own one seed.
If many words come,
Smile at them,
Choose the smallest true one.
If choosing feels busy,
Whisper,
Let it choose me,
And notice the first quiet word that arrives.
Or let the seed remain unnamed and simply felt.
If imagining is tricky,
Let warmth,
Weight,
Or gentle pulsing under your palms be the picture.
On your next two breaths,
Notice the seed feel a shade warmer.
Place both hands over your heart.
Inhale gently,
Feel the breath move under your hands.
Exhale slowly and press the seed down into the soil of your heart.
At the end of your next exhale,
Whisper,
I trust the unseen.
Do less now,
Let your heart hold it.
No forcing,
No checking.
Inhale,
Warmth gathers around the seed.
Exhale,
The soil settles over it.
If the mind looks for proof,
Smile and remember,
Seeds are quiet on purpose.
Feel the urge to do more and choose to be still.
Nothing is missing.
Your future grows here in the dark.
Breathe as you could water the seed from within.
Inhale,
Warmth gathers around it.
Exhale,
The soil settles.
Quiet,
Protective,
Alive.
Let the jaw unhook and the brow soften on each exhale.
If it helps,
Feel a faint warmth spread from the heart into the collarbones and shoulders.
Take three quiet cycles on your own now.
Nothing to do,
Just watering.
Inhale,
Exhale.
You got this.
If thoughts arrive like,
When will it sprout?
Is it working?
Place them gently at the edge of the circle.
Your protector can nap.
You are safe.
If feelings surface,
Let them be the moisture for the soil,
Part of how the seed grows.
Offer this sentence to the body,
I don't know and I am safe here on this new moon doing less is powerful.
Keep your hands over the heart.
Stack palms,
Thumbs resting lightly on the sternum.
Three breaths.
Inhale through your nose for four and exhale through your mouth for six.
First breath,
Feel warmth bloom under your palms.
Let the chest spread gently into your hand.
Second breath,
This time on your exhale,
Release with a quiet sigh through parted lips and let the shoulders drop just a little more.
Third breath,
On your exhale,
Whisper the vow,
I trust the unseen.
Stay with the after feeling for three heartbeats.
Remember,
Any time you place both hands here and lengthen the exhale,
Your body can return to this state.
We will let a single effortless next step arrive.
Nothing to figure out.
Just notice a gentle image of one small action tomorrow that proves this seed exists.
If nothing comes,
Use this default.
On waking,
Place both hands on your heart.
Breathe out slowly and whisper,
I trust the unseen.
Let your hands rest where they want.
Breathe normally and notice one small detail in the room,
The light,
The air,
A shape.
You've done enough.
The soil will work while you rest.
If your protector is still nearby,
Thank it for keeping watch.
It may keep resting.
Invite small movement back in.
Fingers,
Toe,
Gentle swallow.
Maybe a soft yawn or the shoulders dropping.
When you're ready,
Take a slightly deeper inhale and a soft,
Unhurried exhale.
If you want,
Place both hands to your heart for one last long exhale.
Let your eyes gently open or simply remain closed.
Whatever feels good for you right now in this moment.
If it's night,
Let the seed grow as you sleep.
If it's day,
Carry it into your one tiny action.
Carry the vow with you.
I trust the unseen.
From today,
Let trust move you one small,
True step at a time.
