Hello and welcome to our community meditation space.

My name is Vivian Girard and it is my delight to be guiding us in a meditation for the full moon in Leo.

Let's go ahead and close your eyes.

Allow yourself to come fully into this moment.

It is a conscious choice to be still,

To meditate when the world around us may feel extraordinarily loud,

Chaotic,

Confusing.

Choosing to pause and bring all of our attention into ourselves is actually the most powerful gift that we can give to ourselves and to everybody around us.

And so give yourself permission at this full moon to really bring all of your awareness,

Your attention here,

Into this moment.

As you focus on your body,

You can invite all of your energy,

Your consciousness,

Your soul,

Your awareness to come into the body.

Not just into this moment,

But all the way down into the human form that your soul chose for this lifetime.

As you do that,

You might find that breath is a really supportive tool.

When you exhale,

When you yawn,

When energy starts to move physically through your body,

As you release stagnation,

As you get it moving,

Your breath can guide your energy down into your body and you will feel the shift.

What it often feels like is a heaviness,

A density,

A tugging down inside of our body.

We start to actually feel what is happening inside of our body.

You may notice there's a lot of tightness or tension or contraction when you bring your awareness into your body.

Again,

You use your breath so you breathe into the inside of you.

And notice how you create more space inside of your body.

When your focus is in like this,

You're calling all of your attention into yourself.

And then you're bringing your focus inside and you're expanding the space inside of yourself.

You will notice how the world quiets down.

The chatter in your mind starts to slow.

Your muscles of your body start to relax.

You can harmonize the mind and the body and invite your mind to guide the body in relaxing,

So your mind can have an assignment for your meditation.

It's a constant reminder,

Invitation from the mind to the body to unwind the tension,

To loosen the grip,

The anxiety,

The tension that we hold on this reality,

To smooth out the muscles,

Let them stretch,

To expand the space inside of your form to make it bigger.

If you imagine like the energy,

The air going into a balloon is energy.

And as the energy goes into the balloon,

It expands the space and so the balloon becomes bigger.

It's similar for us,

Except my invitation always is to ground,

To bring that spaciousness,

That energy inside through your body all the way down to your feet and fill your body up.

Not just to fill your mind because that's often where we bring our energy first is into our head and then our thoughts expand and get bigger and wider and faster.

When you can focus on bringing that energy,

The power that is you,

The infinite consciousness soul that is inherently you,

All the way down through your body and you can go slowly.

You can take your time bringing your energy down through your body all the way down to your feet.

It may be a new sensation or process for you.

Maybe your energy gets caught a little bit at your heart.

Maybe before that it gets caught at your throat and so you swallow,

You cough,

You yawn,

You breathe,

You move the energy through your throat.

This is your power,

Your soul coming into your body all the way down through your heart.

If it gets a little bumpy there,

It's okay.

You can just hug yourself and then invite your energy to go lower down through your belly,

Through your root.

This is your soul,

Your consciousness inhabiting more of your human form all the way down through your roots,

Through your legs,

All the way down to your feet.

As you do that,

More of your awareness flows in following that.

It creates a suction,

A pulling down.

Gravity brings more of you into you.

You'll feel it so there's a more presence,

A more heavy density to your experience of being in the body.

You'll also feel it in your throat so you'll notice my voice drops.

It becomes deeper when more of my awareness comes more deeper,

Lower into my body all the way down.

Guide your energy down to your feet and then relax the muscles.

Allow it to be an easy landing here in this moment.

If your mind is questioning,

Why are we doing this?

Why do we need to be in the body?

I will offer some context for your mind.

Your invitation while I do that is to keep inviting,

Bringing more of your energy all the way down through to your feet.

So for the mind,

A full moon offers us illumination,

A new perspective,

A wider perspective on whatever the sign is that we're exploring.

This full moon is in Leo.

Leo is the brilliance that we are,

The one aspect of us,

The bigger aspect that is willing to stand on a stage and be visible,

Be seen.

Lions are Leo the lion.

It's representing courage,

The leader,

The one in the forest who will protect and roar and be known,

Send the message far and wide.

Courageous,

Honest,

High integrity,

Bold.

Each one of us has some quality of Leo inside.

We may not see ourselves as embodying all of it,

But there's some part of us that wants to be courageous,

High integrity,

Living life all out,

Being willing to express who we are authentically with so much courage.

The full moon illuminates this energy,

So relax your muscles.

Being in the body,

Being present fully in ourselves allows us to clarify and identify what makes us unique,

What makes us brilliant,

What thing it is that we are,

That we have,

That we do,

That we can share,

That brings light and courage and inspiration to those around us because we are being authentic.

The only way to know our brilliance,

Our authenticity for ourselves is to be in the body,

Is to be in our own energy and feel perhaps where we have fear or doubt or confusion and run that into the earth,

Let it go.

I mean we can sit with it if we want and keep looping and expanding the fear and the doubt or in one moment of choice in a meditation we direct the fear down to our feet and release it into the earth.

When we do that we create more space inside of ourselves to fill up with an energy,

An awareness,

An intention,

An understanding that is not fear-based.

So what if we release fear and we choose to bring in courage,

To bring in more authenticity.

Authenticity is our ability to be fully ourselves,

To express who we are and allow others to experience that.

What if we transmute fear into authenticity,

Simply by choosing to release the fear and then filling our space up with the intention of authenticity.

What does that feel like inside of your body?

It may feel new,

It may feel a little unknown,

Who and am I?

If I'm exploring authenticity what does that even mean for me?

When your focus,

Your attention,

Your illumination is on that question,

What is authenticity for me?

Instead of feeding the fear,

Expanding the doubt.

When your focus shifts to exploring the question within yourself,

Now there is momentum.

Here is where you start discovering the answers.

So sit with that inside of yourself.

What is an authentic expression of you or an authentic understanding of you?

I'll name a few words that immediately come to mind and you can see if you have a match.

Kind,

Caring,

Open-hearted,

Courageous,

Curious,

Funny,

Irreverent,

Creative,

Compassionate.

What are authentic words that as I say these it sparks something inside of you?

You might be sassy or fiery or I'm trying to think of other words.

You might be very intelligent or educated.

You might start to have qualities or characteristics come through that define your work so maybe you're artistic.

Maybe you're a designer,

Maybe you're a chef,

A gardener,

Your authenticity may take on roles.

Perhaps you see yourself most authentically as a mother,

A father,

As a parent,

As a granddaughter,

A grandson.

Maybe you're the best,

Best friend there ever was.

When we sit inside of ourselves there's so much information that explains,

Explains,

Defines who we are.

Expand that energy,

Play with the definitions instead of expanding the doubt or the fear.

So run any energies that are resistance or fear-based down to your feet.

Hand them over to the earth.

And then relax your muscles,

Let yourself be in this space of contemplation.

When we sit inside of ourselves and have questions that are vast like this,

What is authenticity for me?

If I embody the courage of the lion,

The fullness of this Leo energy,

What does that mean to me?

When we are inside of our own space,

Our soul is in our body,

Our mind is harmonizing and listening and paying attention to this conversation inside.

New ideas or awarenesses emerge from within ourselves.

This is where dreams birth.

It's where new inventions flow from.

New books arrive,

Arise.

They come from within ourselves.

Art comes from this place within.

When we trust that and we allow this creative energy to move within us,

To expand within us,

To become bigger and bigger and bigger within us,

Eventually it naturally flows out.

Perhaps that energy flows up to our heart and out through our arms,

Our hands,

Into the work that we do,

The food that we cook,

The gardens that we build,

The people that we touch and we hug.

Maybe this creative energy moves down,

Down to our root,

And it allows us to feel more safe in this world,

More grounded,

More present.

Steadier in the way that we're walking this planet.

Maybe this energy runs all the way down to our feet and it has us stand up and start to move,

To walk,

To take action.

There's so much momentum building inside of us that we need to do something with it.

It creates more energy.

It generates more motivation,

More momentum,

More excitement,

A desire to do something,

To move.

All of that comes from inside of you.

Each one of us has this ability to be inside of ourselves,

Expand the questions,

Allow the answers to flow,

Ask more questions inside,

Listen,

Expand more of the answers.

And then that energy,

It carries us,

It moves us,

It inspires us.

When our practice is to continually release the fear and the doubt,

We have a thought come in that says we can't,

Or we won't,

Or we shouldn't,

Or we didn't,

Or we run that all the way down to our feet.

We say this is the mind that is bringing the fear,

The doubt forward.

Maybe it's our individual mind,

Maybe it's tapping into the collective conversation.

Either way,

We release the fear.

We send it all the way down to our feet.

And we come back into our center.

Breathe and ask the question again.

What is my authenticity?

If I'm being very courageous and bold,

What does that look like or feel like in me?

This is an endless conversation within yourself.

The more you release the fear,

You come back and you get curious and you listen and you allow the energy to move and play and dance and become bigger inside of you.

More starts to happen.

More awareness,

More ideas.

More aligned action comes from this experience that you're creating within yourself.

There's a statement I hear often,

A philosophical statement about the universe inside of us.

Each one of us is the universe embodied.

I call it infinite.

We are infinitely embodied in this one story that we are living right now.

What if it could be the most brilliant version of your story?

And this full moon in Leo is inviting you to be inside of yourself and illuminate the layers upon layers upon layers of the universe that is you inside of you.

Why would this process be necessary at this specific moment in time?

This is where the astrology is such a powerful guide for our mind to give us a framework,

A context.

We have two outer planets which move very,

Very slowly around the sun.

Two outer planets are going into Aries at the same time within a three-month window this year.

Aries is the sign of the zodiac that begins a whole new cycle.

Two outer planets at the same time are beginning a whole new zodiac cycle.

Aries is about action.

Taking action.

Moving.

New beginnings.

To prepare for this amplified new beginning energy with Pluto and Aquarius that just happened a few months ago,

Also new energy.

To prepare for that.

The most powerful place to be is inside of ourselves.

Illuminating who we are to us within us.

Seeing the full brilliance that our soul is.

That our soul came here to express through our unique human.

Each of us seeing it for ourselves first.

So that as the new cycles begin,

As we have the universe coming behind us at our back saying,

It's time to move,

It's time to begin.

Now we move,

We go.

We can take aligned action from this really steady knowing and trust inside of ourselves of what our magic is.

What our authentic version of ourselves is that we want to bring forward.

The unique you and me,

Each one of us.

That makes us the whole of humanity.

Each one of 8 billion unique souls.

We know within ourselves what we're here to bring forward.

Even if it's just a tiny little spark at the beginning.

When you know and see that spark inside of yourself,

It will guide you forward in that Aries energy with the two outer planets will come at your back and help propel you forward in the direction that is most aligned for you.

Nobody can tell you what that is as clearly as you can for yourself.

Nobody knows you as well as you know yourself.

And when the fear comes up or the doubt that you don't know comes up,

You send it to your feet.

You release it into the earth.

And then you steady yourself and you ask the questions again.

If I'm being my most brilliant self,

If I am illuminating the Leo inside of me,

What is that?

Who is that?

If I were to guess why I'm here and what I'm meant to bring forward,

I wonder what that would be.

Ask the questions,

Listen to the answers,

Move the fear out.

This is the work of the full moon in Leo to prepare us for this beginning cycle,

Amplified.

And we're ready.

So,

Feet firmly planted on this planet.

Bring all of your power down into the core of your body.

Call all of your awareness,

Your energy,

Your soul,

Your consciousness down and in.

And then my invitation is to sit in this meditation space after I complete talking.

Sit in the meditation space,

Ask the questions,

Receive the answers,

And then journal them.

Put the words onto paper so that if the doubt comes back,

You can look at your notes and remember this is what I was understanding about myself,

Seeing within me at the full moon in Leo.

When the Aries energy starts to get us moving,

We can come back to our own words,

Tap back into our own knowing,

And that can guide us.

Relax your muscles,

Allow yourself to be fully present.

You have got this.

I am sending you so much love.
