Hello and welcome to our community meditation space.
My name is Vivienne Girard and it is my delight to be guiding us in a meditation for the full moon in Scorpio.
As we arrive in this space together,
I invite you to picture yourself walking into our virtual living room,
Finding your seat,
And settling down in circle space to turn to astrology as a lens through which to better understand our human journey.
Let us close our eyes and start gathering all of your attention,
Your awareness,
Your energy into this moment that you have put aside to be quiet,
To be guided in a journey of going inward.
The world right now is loud,
And choosing to be still is a gift.
It is a pause that we give to ourselves to find truth.
So invite all of your awareness to come home back into your body.
You can picture that as this magnetic pulse in the center of your body that starts sending out a signal,
Calling all the parts and pieces of you,
The threads that have been tracking other things,
Other situations,
The collective conversation.
You are unwinding your power,
Your awareness,
From all of those things and bringing it back into you.
Nobody else's energy,
Just yours.
As your energy arrives in your body,
Imagine you can guide it down all the way to your feet and start filling your body up with your consciousness.
Use your breath as a way to slow down the pace of your thinking,
Of your focus,
Of your attention.
Breathe all the way down into your feet,
And imagine your energy,
Your consciousness can follow that pathway down.
What also helps with this process of becoming present is to focus on your feet,
To see them in your mind's eye,
Maybe wiggle your toes,
And then to visualize underneath your feet deep grounding roots that connect you into the core of our planet.
Long,
Winding,
Energetic roots,
Threads,
Lines that anchor your human body more firmly into this place that we call Gaia Earth.
Relaxing your muscles and allowing it to be a gentle landing back in you.
We aren't forcing ourselves to be present,
We are inviting all of our attention to come into our body,
To settle into a body that is relaxed,
At ease,
Listening,
Supported by these roots that go deep into the earth.
If you notice that there's a jumbled energy inside of your body,
Imagine you can just direct that energy down to your feet and then release that jumble,
That toxicity down through those roots to be recycled by the earth.
And then using your breath,
You slow down even more the pace of the activity and invite more of your awareness to come into your body and make its way all the way down to your feet.
Our arrival into presence in meditation can happen in waves,
We have a lot of awareness in our bodies and then we calibrate to that feeling.
We sort through what serves us and what actually is complete and ready to be released through our feet into the earth.
And as we do that,
Another wave of our own consciousness arrives into our body and is guided all the way down through to our feet.
We keep what is our power,
What is our greater,
Clearer understanding of ourselves,
And we release the baggage,
The extra,
The stuff we have picked up from other people and the mental stuff that we have built within our own awareness that doesn't serve.
Our mind,
Body,
Soul,
Heart is complex and wise enough to be able to know which goes where.
The work is to become present enough to witness and participate in this process of meditation.
So you call more of you home to you,
Guiding your energy down through to your feet,
Filling your body up with your own consciousness.
And anything that is not in alignment with that releases through your feet into the earth.
And you relax your muscles and allow this to become your new normal.
The calm embodied frequency that is uniquely you.
You are the only one who knows what this feels like inside of your body.
You are the only one with the stories,
The memories,
The emotions that you have been accumulating in this journey.
Sometimes that thought brings the most beautiful wave of love for ourselves.
Sometimes it brings up other emotions.
If we are not used to being fully present in our bodies in this way,
There may be emotions that have been under the surface or hidden or pushed down because life is too busy to have time for those emotions.
So just notice.
Notice what is coming up and allow space just to be.
You present in you.
Relaxing your muscles.
Allowing the emotions to be felt,
To move.
Anything that doesn't serve you goes to your feet and is handed over to the earth.
And what is yours that you have lived,
That you are embodying,
You integrate.
Knowing that your mind,
Body,
Soul,
Heart is wise and knows which energies go where.
As you rest in this pause,
Notice how much quieter and calmer you have become.
When we call all of our power,
Our consciousness into our human bodies and we feel what is true inside of ourselves,
The external chatter is just not as loud or important.
The phrase that comes to mind is there are universes and universes within ourselves,
Within me,
Within you.
For your mind,
I bring in a layer of the astrology.
We have a full moon in Scorpio.
Scorpio is about truth,
Loyalty,
Absolute integrity.
The secrets that have been hidden under the surface being brought to light.
Not to shame or judge,
But to bring the light.
To bring the illumination so that we can see and understand from a different perspective.
So that we can find our way back to truth.
Notice what that brings up in you.
If it's expansive,
Then feel how solidly you are standing in your own truth.
In your pure aligned integrity.
When the full moon illuminates in this frequency and we are already in alignment,
It expands what is happening inside of ourselves.
It's like a spotlight on a stage that brings more magic to the stage.
In contrast,
If this illumination energy,
If these words bring up a sense of contraction or friction,
If it feels sharp or uncomfortable,
Illumination shows us what we are ready to look at next.
It's as if the full moon turns on a light and we see the shadows,
The hidey places.
The stories where we are not in truth with ourselves and with others.
And the invitation is not to step into shame,
Judgment,
Criticism.
But to sit with what is being illuminated from a place of curiosity.
Why am I not in integrity with this situation,
Belief,
Conversation,
Relationship?
Where and why am I not speaking my truth?
Not to judge,
But to understand.
What is the fear,
The belief that is running under the surface,
That is now being brought to light?
When we see it,
When we have awareness,
We are now empowered to change the behavior,
If we choose.
So take a deep exhale,
Release the emotions that may be stirring as I name all of this.
If you feel uncomfortable,
You can wiggle,
Move,
Shake some of the energy loose.
Anything that is ready to go,
You can run down to your feet and over to the earth.
And come back to center,
Relaxing your muscles.
A full moon in Scorpio can feel like you're in the principal's office and you did something wrong and now you're in trouble.
But that would be the disempowered way of experiencing this energy.
What if you are the principal?
You are the one who understands why the structures,
The rules,
The practices need to be what they are.
And you have compassion for yourself,
Sitting on the other side of the desk from the principal,
Trying to figure it out.
This full moon offers us both perspectives.
So we breathe,
We steady our mind,
Body,
Soul,
Heart.
We allow our soul,
Our consciousness to show us why we were called to this reminder,
This meditation.
What it is that we came here to see,
To understand within ourselves.
It is a time of empowerment,
Of alignment.
For our busy minds,
I weave in a little more astrology.
Jupiter is in Cancer.
It is amplifying our self-care,
Our love for ourselves,
Our home,
The lives that we have built.
This full moon can be a doorway into a deeper love for this life,
For this human that you are.
Use your breath to soothe your nervous system,
To calm your mind,
To deepen your energy into your body all the way down through to your feet.
At the same time,
We have Pluto in Aquarius,
Amplifying truth,
Integrity,
Being fully ourselves in all of our quirks,
Our magic,
Our star being here in the human,
The infinite embodied.
The future being expressed now.
We also have Saturn and Neptune in Aries.
Our dreams meeting our work,
Beginning a new cycle.
And the last piece for our mind for the astrology is Uranus moving into Gemini.
We are rewiring how we communicate,
How we think,
How we align with the highest integrity of the resources,
Technology,
Communication.
It is all coming together to support you.
So breathe,
Relax your muscles.
Allow the words to move through your mind,
Weaving a beautiful collective message that is unique for you.
And then bring your attention all the way down again to your feet.
I want you to picture your feet standing on this planet.
You firmly in the place where you spend the most time.
See yourself in your mind's eye,
Standing up,
Finding your center,
Planting your feet firmly down.
Almost a stomp,
Stomp,
One foot,
The other foot.
And guiding all of this energy consciousness that you have called back into yourself in this meditation,
Guiding that all the way down to your feet and filling yourself up with you.
As you see yourself in your mind's eye,
Standing strong,
Firm in your beliefs,
Firm in your own knowing of your truth,
Your integrity.
Allow your whole body to center and balance above your feet,
Spine back straight,
Shoulders open,
Which naturally opens up your heart space.
Your chin steady,
Focused,
Your head,
Eyes,
Mind's eye,
Eyes closed,
But looking straight ahead.
Your arms relaxed at your side and all of your awareness heightened.
Your senses feeling everything that is happening around you,
The energy,
The movement.
And then feel the illumination of this full moon in Scorpio as an activation,
Not as a punishment,
As an activation for your mind,
Body,
Soul,
Heart.
Everything is in place.
The astrology has been preparing you and it is a new moment.
This full moon is on the first of the month,
Opening a new cycle in the sun,
Being in Taurus,
Grounded,
Present,
Earthy here.
You are ready to stand strong.
You are clear on what the one next step is.
And you are committed to follow that step,
To create whatever the path is that you feel inside of you is waiting for you to create.
This is an embodied frequency and you come back and tap into it,
Practice it as often as you feel unsteady.
In the moments where you feel already steady,
You strengthen even more your steadiness.
And from this place,
We write whatever the next chapter is in the story that we are living.
Relax your muscles,
Allow this frequency to set inside of your system.
Spine straight,
Shoulders open,
Chin up.
Heart ready.
Relax your muscles,
Allow this to set inside of your system.
Beautiful.
And then slowly as you feel ready,
Open your eyes and just focus on one thing in front of you.
So I'm holding a crystal in my right hand and I'm wiggling the crystal around.
I'm starting to wiggle my fingers,
Wiggle my toes.
So do the same and allow yourself to start to come fully back into this moment.
As you do that,
Weaving what you see,
What you know in your meditation time in with what you are seeing externally around you with your physical eyes.
Both are true.
Both are real.
And as we move through these next times as a humanity,
We're going to see the merging emerge in the most magical,
Beautiful ways.
Thank you for meditating with me.
I wish you so much love at this full moon in Scorpio.
Come and be with us in our community lives and let's expand this journey together.
So much love.
