New Moon In Scorpio... "Nothing Is Lost"
Join me for a guided energy healing / visualization as we come down into our bodies and begin moving energy at this New Moon. The complex layers of astrology are inviting us to complete what is ready first (as Pluto wraps up a 15+ year journey in Capricorn)... and then set our clear intentions under a brilliant night sky filled with stars! You might feel complete after one listen to this meditation or it might take a few rounds as the energy moves for you in the week of the New Moon. * Please note that these New Moon and Full Moon meditations are unedited, intended to feel as if we are all sitting in Circle together, side by side, as I guide a group experience. Breathing, yawning, real life. * I invite you to then bring your intentions to our next "Live with Vivi" event here. Sharing if it feels in alignment or simply witnessing others as they share. All perfect! Okay! Let us begin the meditation...

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 new moon in Scorpio.
Let us go ahead and close our eyes.
Allow yourself to settle into whatever space you have claimed for this half hour of meditation time.
I will be using breath to help guide us deeper into our body and to move the energy.
You can match the breathing pace that I set up.
You can follow your own.
You can yawn with me when there's an extra burst of energy that we are going to shift.
Trust yourself as we move through this time together.
Alright,
Landing in your body.
Bring all of your attention,
Your focus,
Down to your root chakra.
You can feel that as your bottom sitting on the chair or the cushion or the floor,
If that's what you are doing.
If you are walking,
Imagine you can bring your attention all the way down to your feet so that each time you plant your foot in the next step you are grounding and connecting all of your energy down to where we connect with our earth.
If you are laying down,
It can be your whole back,
Your bottom,
The heels of your feet.
Bring all of your attention,
Your focus,
Down into your body.
And then relax your muscles as you do that.
It's easy to try force the meditation to bring the energy in because we are insisting that it needs to happen.
At this new moon in Scorpio,
The invitation is more of a surrender.
It's softer and gentler and inviting.
We don't have to do a meditation.
We don't have to do the energy work.
We choose to pause,
To be still,
To become present.
And the most powerful place to be present is inside of ourselves,
Our energy and our bodies.
Fully here so that we can listen and sense what is true,
What resonates,
What doesn't.
Sort through the confusion that happens inside of us and is reflected externally outside of us.
We can come to a place of greater clarity from our own knowing.
And that happens inside our body.
So relax your muscles and invite all of your energy into you.
My puppy is laying on the ground next to me and he's sighing and stretching out.
It's the same for us.
Can we relax enough to invite our energy,
Our attention,
Fully here into our bodies in this moment?
If it feels a little tight or congested inside of your body as your energy comes in,
Imagine you can just redistribute your own energy within you so you can run your energy,
Your consciousness,
Down through your body all the way to your feet.
And as you do that,
You might find that you're yawning or burping or coughing.
Your eyes might start to water.
When we take up more space inside of our own body,
When we're more present here inside of ourselves,
We often have a physical shift,
A physical release or movement that manifests in these ways that sound like yawns,
Sighs,
Exhales.
You can wiggle your jawbone,
Loosen the grip maybe that you've been holding onto things.
The collective energy right now is turbulent and intense,
And so I'll offer us a little astrology perspective for our minds.
But as I say all of this,
Allow your awareness,
Your energy,
To land more firmly inside of you,
To create a sense of safety inside of your body in this moment,
Even as my words offer your mind some context and some structure.
So with everything that I say,
Just keep focusing on moving your energy down through your body to your feet and then relaxing your muscles.
So this new moon in Scorpio is on the first of the month of November.
It is also happening while Mars and Cancer have this energy match-up.
Match-up is a good word.
I've heard it described by astrologers as headbutt almost,
The clash of the energies,
Mars,
Action,
Fierce,
Cancer,
Soft,
Home,
Family,
Warmth.
You can see how there might be a tension,
A conflict,
A rub that happens when those two come together.
That energy has been happening for a little while.
A burst of energy,
A little while.
And so you may have felt that as a squeeze,
An emotional review,
Introspection,
Reflection that feels ultra intense.
Your emotions may be a little more volatile or up and down than what you're used to.
So bring your energy down through your body and soothe yourself.
Relaxing your muscles.
Cueing your body to safety.
Collectively there's higher tension.
There's more friction in the air.
Okay,
So our minds receive that information.
And then we create more of a cocoon for ourselves for this meditation time.
I understand.
I have the context.
Okay,
And now I bring my awareness deeper into my own body.
Let me sort through what is true inside of myself.
And then when I go back into the collective consciousness experience,
The collective humanity,
The day-to-day activity,
I navigate from this place of greater clarity within myself.
I'm steadier and calmer.
I'm aware the conflict is present and I choose if I engage or don't engage.
Because I come from this centeredness inside of myself.
So bring your energy all the way down to your feet.
And then the second layer that I would bring in of astrology to give us some more context.
Pluto,
As you know if you follow me and are using these meditation tracks over the last six months,
Eight months,
I have been talking about Pluto's transit through Capricorn.
We are in the last two to three weeks now of Pluto completing a cycle in Capricorn that started in 2008.
That's a lot of change and growth in our human lives.
It's a big cycle to be coming to a completion.
And our bodies feel that.
So this may be a time of more weariness,
Exhaustion,
Overwhelm,
A sense of dragging towards the finish line,
Not even realizing that we've been on a race towards a finish line,
But feeling like there's some deadline or threshold that we're meant to cross and we don't even know what the next thing is that we're crossing into.
That may be the energy that is happening collectively that you have a match to individually.
And when our minds have a structure or words or images to guide the experience that we're feeling,
It empowers us to then change the image in a way that feels more aligned.
So if you imagine the marathon runner who has been pushing,
Pushing to get to the end of the cycle,
Knowing that there's this sense of accomplishment,
There's a completion that happens when they cross the finish line,
And there will be something after that,
But the focus is on getting to the finish line.
We have a choice in this moment over the next few weeks,
And this is what this meditation space is offering us.
We have a choice in how we walk across that threshold,
How we experience the completion.
And I believe awareness is the most powerful tool or gift that we have.
When we have awareness that a cycle is completing,
We have the choice to change our behavior or to keep it as it has been.
We have the awareness that the cycle is completing and we can choose to review the cycle,
To pause here at the end of the race by the finish line and look back and wonder at who we have become in the deepest of gratitude for the experience of being in the race in the first place.
So breathe.
Bring your energy all the way down through your body to your feet,
Relaxing your muscles.
What comes up in you as I mention the year 2008,
As I talk about the journey from then until now?
Maybe you've already been doing this review and you're strolling towards the finish line strong,
Confident,
Ready.
Your head held high,
Your shoulders wide,
Your heart open,
You're step sure and confident.
If so,
Like beautiful congratulations on the awareness of the cycle that you have been moving through,
The integration of it.
Perhaps you're like me and the vision I see is the need to sit down on the side of the road,
Perhaps in a little grassy spot under a tree with my journal and my pen and reflect more,
Journal more.
Look for the threads,
The commonalities,
The places that don't feel integrated yet.
Maybe you need a nap.
It's just a lot and your body needs to rest.
Whatever comes up for you as we look at this image together,
Trust that this is your message from you to you,
From your soul,
Your body,
Your mind to you.
I simply offer the words and guide the collective energy experience in this meditation,
But there's something for you that brought you to this experience.
Can you allow yourself to receive that and then act on your own guidance?
If it's more meditation or to come back to this meditation again or to go for a walk or to drink more water or sit with a friend and have a conversation,
Whatever your images are or your guidance is,
Trust that that's specific for you and then act on that guidance.
Maybe it's just to yawn more or to laugh a little.
We can take ourselves so seriously and perhaps there's a little dance that we get to do at the end.
This is what I feel after my journaling is complete.
I want to put on some good music and stand up and dance across the last few feet of this finish line to move across the threshold with gratitude and celebration and reverence for all that I have been moving through since 2008 and then a redirection of my energy on,
Now where am I going?
What's after this?
But I can feel for myself until this introspection feels complete.
I don't necessarily want to be focusing on what's next yet.
There's some inner work to do before that.
So trust what you receive.
Maybe you're already doing the dance party and you can feel your guidance is to go get a big piece of paper when this meditation is over and journal and draw and write about Pluto moving into Aquarius and what's next for you and what you see and feel and desire.
Trust whatever is right,
Whatever you feel guided to.
The theme or the mantra that came through for me this morning on my run that I wanted to bring into this meditation is the phrase,
Nothing is lost.
Nothing is lost.
And it comes from a song by John Hopkins on an album called Ritual,
If you want to listen to that.
That might be a good integration from this meditation.
The interpretation I have,
Which is why I bring this title forward for us in this meditation,
Is that in a completion of a cycle,
Especially one that has gone for so long,
2008 until now is a long cycle,
It can be easy to want to hold on to all of the things that we have created or experienced or done in these years to make them mean something by holding on to them.
And the image I see is if our hands are full of all the things we're trying to hold in our hands from what we have already done,
There's no space for new things to be created by our hands in the time that we're moving into.
And so in this completion time,
This moment before we cross the finish line of one cycle and begin a new one,
Are there energies,
Memories,
Physical things,
Expressions of ourselves?
Are there items to be releasing to make space in our hands for some new energies,
New memories,
New creations to arrive?
So allow yourself to see whatever images are coming through for you.
Maybe it's individuals,
It's relationships or habits,
Patterns,
Ways that you are navigating your day,
Your week.
Maybe it's a belief,
A limitation.
Maybe it is physical,
Actual things that no longer serve you that are now creating clutter because the meaning has been embodied in you and the physical thing isn't as necessary.
We carry a lot of stuff in our homes,
Our cars,
Our closets,
Our computers,
Our phones.
There's a lot of stuff.
And my feeling is that when Pluto enters Aquarius,
For the next 20 years,
There will be a lightening up of the stuff.
The density of our human realm will have a breeze blow through it that will clear out the clutter.
And so in this moment,
Are there items that you can feel already are ready to go?
Trust whatever you see,
Whatever you feel.
And if there are steps to take,
Follow your own guidance.
The mantra,
Nothing is lost,
Is really to embody or to align within us the knowing that once we have experienced something,
A feeling,
A relationship,
A job,
A health situation,
A visit to a new country,
A new place,
When we have experienced it,
It is in us.
The actual living of that experience stays within us.
The book we have read,
The knowledge stays within us.
And the book is no longer as necessary.
The things that we collected along the way of the trip or the health crisis or the job or the growing up of our children,
The things are not what are important.
It's the experience,
The emotions,
The lived memories.
And so nothing is lost.
The frequency goes with us.
And so perhaps this is encouragement to lighten the load,
To release some of the clutter,
The baggage,
The heaviness.
It's like the marathon runner who perhaps started the race early in the morning and they had a light sweater or jacket on.
They maybe had a ball cap or some sort of sweatband around their head,
And as they ran,
It got warmer and warmer.
And now they're at the end,
Close to the finish line,
And they realize they can take off the jacket,
Take off the sweatband.
Maybe they even take off the T-shirt,
And they just have their sports bra and their shorts on,
And they're running across the finish line knowing it was about the experience.
It wasn't about all the stuff.
It's about who they became in the training for the race,
In the commitment to showing up for the race,
In all of the miles that they ran along the way of the race.
And that when the race is over and they look back on that experience,
The pictures will be great,
The friends they made along the way when they sit and talk about it and have trophies and medals,
That will be great.
But it's the experience that they've embodied,
The knowing of who they are now because they made that commitment to themselves and they did the thing.
Nothing is lost.
It is theirs.
It is the same for all of us at this new moon in Scorpio.
As we sit in this meditation space with all of this information for our minds,
The energy we've been moving through our bodies,
I want you to feel your feet connecting you to this planet,
Rooting you down and in,
Holding you so steady here.
You are a soul in a human body who chose this human experience on Earth.
So relax your muscles,
Allow any resistance or doubt or fear to move out of your feet and into the Earth.
And perhaps imagine here you are near the end of the finish line,
Knowing it's just one cycle that's completing.
There's another one that's going to begin.
We will make our way towards November 19th when Pluto just moves over into Aquarius and completes with Capricorn.
It will just be a day where the energies shift and a new cycle begins.
Here you are in this moment as you listen to this meditation with your feet planted firmly on the ground.
Are there intentions that you want to send out into the universe about how to navigate these next few weeks,
Completion of one cycle and entry into another cycle?
Your intention can be as simple and complicated as allow me to be navigating this time with greater awareness.
You can set the intention that your focus is heightened.
To me it looks like we're scanning in all directions what's happening around us.
I can't think of the words,
But it's like a little video camera or movie screen that's just scanning,
Scanning everything.
What's happening?
What's happening?
That we can see our reality so clearly.
We can see our choices,
Our behavior within our reality more clearly.
Scorpio is a sign I often associate with loyalty and truth and depth,
Commitment.
The Scorpios I know,
They stand with integrity.
They're strong.
They don't back down.
Can we match that?
Can we set an intention at the new moon in Scorpio to be in our highest integrity,
To speak our truth,
To bring integrity and truth into every conversation,
Into every relationship,
Into every creation that we bring forward?
I'll bring back the layer again of Mars and cancer.
When tensions,
Emotions are high,
Intelligence can be low,
My mentor often says.
The powerful place to be,
The place of integrity and truth within ourselves,
When we bring that into every space,
The energies around us will shift.
And so these moments of meditation,
Of coming into your own stillness,
Your own knowing,
Clearing the resistance with the yawning,
The exhales,
The focus on energy moving down through our bodies to our feet,
Connecting to the earth.
When we clear our own resistance and then we stand strong,
Firm,
Clear,
Empowered,
Committed to integrity and truth,
And we move into our external reality from this experience,
This embodiment,
I believe we elevate the consciousness on our planet.
We bring our best to everyone around us.
So if there are intentions that you choose to set at this time,
Allow your conscious mind to be aware of what intentions you are setting.
Feel that intention all the way down to your feet and then release that.
Allow it to be.
Don't try to hold on to it because nothing is lost.
Send it out into the universe Strong and steady within yourself.
One last big exhale.
Feeling your feet planted.
Here you are in this moment,
So close to the finish line,
More aware than you were before you started this meditation.
And trust how you need to navigate from this place.
As you feel ready,
Go ahead and open your eyes and allow yourself to take in the environment around you slowly,
Merging the two,
Merging what you see and feel inside of yourself internally with the physical reality that you inhabit externally.
Merge them,
Bring them into alignment because both are true.
It is easy for us to dismiss what happens in our meditation space and not integrate it into our lives.
And so I encourage you to take what you see and journal.
Give yourself reminders during the day.
Come back to this meditation if you need to practice again.
And then if you're looking for community,
Come join us in MyLives where we strengthen this way of living together.
I send you off into this new moon and Scorpio energy with so much love.
Thank you for meditating with me today.

Grateful to even be in the race to begin with….resonated with that. Sometimes its easy to forget that we had to crawl, cruise, stand, then walk before we could run. Thank you Vvivienne💜
