New Moon / Total Solar Eclipse In Aries Meditation

Join me for a guided meditation/visualization into our own Mind-Body-Soul-Heart experience, aligning with the power of this New Moon / Eclipse energy. Releasing any resistance and opening up to the fullest potential as we set intentions for the next lunar cycle.

Let us begin!

Transcript

Hello and welcome to our community meditation space.

My name is Vivian Girard and it is my delight to be guiding us into a meditation for the new moon total solar eclipse in Aries for April 2024.

We will begin by getting present and dropping fully into our body and then open up space for some intention setting together.

So I invite you to close your eyes,

Allow yourself to come fully into this moment,

Bringing all of your power,

All of your attention,

All of your focus into your body,

Knowing that there is no more powerful place to be than fully aware in your own consciousness in your physical form here on this planet.

And often when there is a lot of astrological shifting energy,

The invitation to come into our body and be with our highest self,

Be with our fullest power,

Our biggest expression,

Is a little overwhelming and we often resist that invitation.

And so I honor you.

I celebrate us for choosing to come into our own awareness to see what is here for us.

So breathe,

Relax,

Allow your muscles to start to unwind if you're feeling your body resisting this invitation.

Unwind the muscles of your body,

Relax your physical structure,

Allow yourself to lean back into whatever is behind you to feel the support holding you in this moment.

Consciously unwind,

Unwind your physical body.

There you go.

Just relax the muscles.

Your mind is going to keep track of everything that is happening and it will keep you safe.

And your physical body must be safe if you are in an experience that allows you to close your eyes and be still and meditate.

So the only,

I don't know,

Unknown is what your own consciousness,

Your own awareness will show you in meditation.

And so perhaps we can put some structure,

Some energetics into our intention for this meditation.

Inviting that which most serves you to become aware of,

To become aware.

That which is ready to be released,

To have a pathway to be released.

The unknown to be filled with opportunities,

Revelations,

Magic,

Mystery,

The beauty,

The beauty that is your infinite soul choosing to be in this human moment.

Letting yourself land fully here.

Leaving outside of this meditation space anything that needs to be handled.

You can do it when you are complete.

In this moment can you be fully here?

Feeling first what is happening in your body.

So notice when we arrive as the infinite more into the present,

Into the physical,

There is often a physical manifestation in our body.

There's a releasing or moving around of the energy inside of our body.

For me that usually shows as yawns,

As the energy starts to really move,

Especially in a community meditation space,

I start yawning.

And the yawning for me is a releasing of stuck old energy or old beliefs.

It's a way to support you because it's audible,

You can hear it.

It's a way to support you in helping energy move in your space also.

So you may find as I yawn you start yawning or as I yawn your muscles relax a little more or as I yawn a thought moves,

An idea comes through.

When we are moving a lot of energy our mind can try to keep up with it and to analyze every aspect of it and that is perfect.

And our mind also can relax and simply observe and watch and feel what is happening in the body and receive the messages,

The commands to relax more.

And the mind can do something with the body to relax more.

When we try to push the mind away or control the mind in meditation space we can spend the whole meditation time wrestling the mind.

And what I have found in my own practice and in the way that I guide meditation is to invite the mind to be part of the experience,

To co-create with the body,

To support the body.

The body can feel energy moving and send a message to the mind that says oh the knees are a little tight or the back has an ache or the shoulder the shoulder needs to wiggle and our mind can remember those little memos from the body and then investigate that during the meditation or after the meditation.

Why would the shoulders be tight?

Because we hold so much weight on our shoulders,

Responsibility,

Obligation,

Deadlines.

Why would the knee be aching?

The knee represents our pride,

Our ego.

When we're invited to come all the way into our body our our ego may say no that's not safe or we shouldn't do that or are we worth that?

Is that really our right to do that?

And that would be ego thoughts.

So we relax the muscles of the body.

We invite the mind to participate,

To be the note keeper of the experience that can then guide us into the next steps after we finish meditating.

Where we go,

What we do,

From the space the mind can guide us forward.

It can be the pathway into the action.

The mind also is paying attention to everything that's happening and often it can give us an idea.

The spark will come from the soul and be encapsulated in words and the mind will go oh this idea and in meditation space it lights us up.

But if we're told or taught to control the mind or stop the thinking and it's actually in the middle of gifting us,

Gifting us a beautiful negative awareness with the soul then we can disregard a moment of harmony of mind body soul.

So invite the mind to be present and invite the body to release whatever is ready to go in the moment.

When we drop into our body more,

When our infinite comes into the human form,

It can feel heavier in our body,

More dense,

More full.

There's more of our awareness in the human body and we can feel that.

It's like we've eaten a big meal and we can't quite move.

So redistribute the energy through your body.

By that I mean imagine your infinite consciousness can move from your head down through the core,

The cavity of your trunk of your body down through the chakras.

That infinite can move down through your legs all the way down through your legs to your feet.

Relaxing the muscles of your body and notice how there's more space inside of you.

You've redistributed the energy,

If we're using human words,

In the physical structure of your body.

So there's more space inside of you.

You can invite more of your awareness,

More of your consciousness to come down and into your human structure.

Flowing your own energy all the way down through to your feet and then feeling your feet connect to the earth.

So if you're like me and your feet are perhaps stretched out,

Not flat on the surface of the ground,

You could connect to the earth through your heels.

If you're walking and listening to this,

Each step can connect you more deeply to the consciousness of Gaia,

This planet that we get to walk on and play in.

If you're sitting and your feet are flat on the floor,

Just imagine your feet can hook,

Connect directly in with the planet,

Whatever surface your feet are on.

And you can grow energetic roots from the bottoms of your feet deep down into the earth,

Deep down below all the layers of the surface of the dirt,

The house you're in,

The place you're finding yourself in this moment.

Go deeper than that with your roots.

And you might feel a tug in your body as you're doing this.

There might be more of a pull in your density or groundedness,

The gravity that's pulling you down.

Relax your muscles and allow the connection with the earth to anchor you into this moment,

Even if it's just for a moment.

When so much of the collective consciousness is focusing on the sky,

The sun,

The moon,

About to intersect,

The astrology of the eclipse portal that we're in,

Mercury going retrograde,

Pluto in Aquarius,

There's an infinite list of astrological aspects that are so exciting to talk about and so engaging and inviting for our minds,

Our awareness.

In order to embody the power,

The opportunities,

The magic of the infinite,

Of the stars,

Into our human body,

Into our physical reality,

We need to be in our body to do that.

And feeling the connection from our feet down into the root,

The depth of Gaia,

It holds us steady as all of this astrological wisdom is coming into our human understanding.

It's like a suction or a another version of gravity supporting our body but also supporting our metabolism of all of this information,

Our manifestation of all of the energetics.

It's a receiving in the physical of the infinite,

Of the astrological.

And that happens when we are in our body and feeling our connection to Gaia deep underneath our feet helps us stay in our body,

Helps us be present for the humanness of this magical infinite moment.

So relax the muscles of your body and focus on your feet for a moment.

I know I'm talking a lot about the astrology and the air mind information and so bring your focus in your mind's eye,

See your feet.

There you go,

See your feet connected to the planet,

Firmly planted.

Here you are in a body,

In a moment of a meditation.

Here,

Whatever month you are listening to this,

Safe and fully present.

How does your body feel now?

Relax the muscles of your body again.

Can you feel how calm it is inside of your body?

Maybe it's not all the way calm but it's calmer than when you started the meditation.

Can you feel with your eyes closed how your hearing senses are amplified or activated to another level?

Perhaps with your eyes closed your third eye,

Your inner sight,

Is more vivid,

More alive,

More colorful.

Perhaps you sense energy,

You sense shifts in the feeling of it in your body.

So maybe your awareness is inside of your body,

Scanning,

Seeing what's happening inside of you.

You might hear messages,

Words,

Information.

When we close our eyes and shut down the visual stimulus that's always around us and we are inside of ourselves,

Our natural abilities,

Our intuition,

Gets activated in bigger ways.

This is one of the greatest gifts,

I believe,

Of eclipse season.

It's this powerful portal of time where a collective focus is put on new information,

Shedding of the old,

The unknown space being a safe space because so many of us are exploring it at the same time.

It's an opportunity to release what isn't serving us anymore and open to new.

And when we close our eyes and we go into meditation and we have this intention,

This collective energy field that supports this type of discovery within ourselves,

We can discover beautiful new gifts,

New abilities,

New understandings.

The total solar eclipse amplifies that.

So what's happening inside of you?

This is the beauty,

The gift that your soul brought you here for into this meditation time.

What is it that you are shedding?

A thought,

A practice,

A relationship,

A health or not health way of being?

Doubt,

Fear?

What is it that no longer serves you that has been playing out in this eclipse portal from the partial lunar eclipse in Libra that was just a week and a half ago as I record this and the total solar eclipse that for me will be coming up in a few days as I record this?

When we're in this time period,

What is it that has been coming up for you?

Maybe you're looking backwards at it and you'll have even greater perspective.

What are you shedding?

And can you do that with the least amount of judgment,

Criticism,

Shame,

Guilt,

Whatever it is that we emotionally override our soul knowing,

Our soul choices.

We override them because of these emotions that want to hold us in what's comfortable,

What's known,

What's familiar,

What others expect of us.

What does your soul want to show you now in this beautiful space of awareness that you have created within you?

And a new moon is about setting intentions for the next cycle that begins.

This new moon is the first one of the zodiac cycle that's beginning.

It's a new moon in Aries.

We're opening up an entirely new round of the zodiac cycle now.

Add to that the total solar eclipse,

Amplification,

So much extra magic and oomph behind our intentions.

And so many of us focusing on this energy at the same time,

The collective amplification of our intentions individually.

I'll share a couple more layers.

We also have Jupiter conjunct Uranus coming up two weeks after this eclipse.

That's like a 14-year cycle that is even more amplification.

We set the intention and then we get a rocket ship boost of energy two weeks,

A week and a half later.

It's like turning the engine on in the car and sort of touching the gas and then you start driving.

All of a sudden you realize you're driving a car that has like race car potential motor engine in it.

You get to really push the gas.

That's what's happening.

Be clear on an intention right now and in a week and a half amplify it with Jupiter conjunct Uranus.

You can feel in your body like,

What?

Astrology is so supporting us right now.

And the powerful place to be is inside your own awareness,

In your body,

Feeling what you know to be true,

Trusting the guidance of your soul to move you forward.

Like this is the power place and you've put yourself in it.

This meditation is just one example of how you've allowed yourself to land in you,

Receiving information,

Knowing there's extra support coming from the stars,

From your soul through the universe.

Another piece that I would bring in for you is Chiron conjunct the North Node on the total solar eclipse.

Chiron is exactly conjunct that intersection too.

So we have an intersection of the Moon,

The Sun,

Aries,

Chiron and the North Node.

Which means,

Which means the wound.

Chiron is the thing that you haven't wanted to look at or the thing you've been running from in your story,

Your pain point.

The button that if it gets triggered it feels like your whole world is falling apart.

It's the only thing you can think about and try to resolve and we circle back,

We have the same patterns play out again and again.

Chiron is core wound human work and we are being offered this opportunity right now to see it,

To be with it and to transmute it.

So how,

How do we do that?

We see it,

We name it for ourselves in our quiet inner space like right now.

We name the wound and we don't run from it,

We look at it.

We see it from a soul perspective.

Our human,

Our mind,

Our ego.

This is why the knee was hurting when I started the meditation.

Our ego wants us to define ourselves or prove ourselves or stand out in whatever ways that is in our human journey.

There's something so unique and different about us and we want to be known or understood for that unique thing.

And when we sit in meditation time with all of this beautiful astrological universal support with this deep grounding down in with Gaia,

So loved,

So held by Gaia and we sit with our own awareness,

Our soul can show us how this wound is a lesson.

This Chiron wound is a lesson we chose as a soul because we wanted to explore it.

We wanted to understand it.

We wanted to perhaps experience both sides of whatever it is.

And so maybe for much of our lives we've been in the pain side of it.

In our soul conversations,

The soul will say as you transmute the pain,

The wound,

It will become a gift.

You will step out of the shadow and into the gift.

You will see it from a different lens and when you see it you can you can show others what it is.

You can shift your whole energy around it and create a whole different reality,

Experience life in a whole different way.

And maybe that's why you chose as a soul to have that wound.

When we sit quietly with ourselves and we invite our soul to show us,

To help us understand the Chiron wound,

We can switch the energy,

Move the energy and it can start to become our purpose,

Our north node.

A total solar eclipse in Aries,

A new beginning.

Exactly conjunct Chiron,

Our wound,

With the north node in Aries.

There is this magical moment that the universe,

Our souls,

Our collective consciousness,

Gaia,

Have all co-created to say,

Okay you chose as a soul to be in a human journey and you've done it this way up until this moment.

And we're going to give you every drop of the alchemy that you need to completely transform your understanding of the wound and have it become your purpose.

So that was a whole lot of words for your mind,

For your human.

And then your soul gets to show you,

Help you move the energy inside.

If you feel lightheaded or dizzy,

Focus on your feet.

Bring all of your attention,

Your focus down to your feet.

Feel yourself connected to the earth,

So present.

With this much energy anchored into this meditation,

You may sleep through quite a lot of it or you may have not heard the words I just said or you may not understand the words.

It may just feel like confusion inside or you might just be coming back to awareness as I'm saying these words and you're like,

What even were you talking about?

Did I fall asleep?

What happened?

Your consciousness will allow you to receive what your body and your mind are ready to receive in the moment.

And trust that.

Trust that.

It's perfect.

This recording is available.

If you feel like there's something more you want to hear or you may have missed a piece,

You can come back and listen to it again.

If you heard every word and you're like,

What do I do now?

So how do I transmute the wound?

How do I alchemize the energy?

Trust that just like your soul brought you into this meditation,

Your soul is going to carry you into the next nugget,

The next conversation,

The next book,

The next video,

The next music.

You're going to want to go for a walk and soak in the sunshine of Gaia and breathe in the fresh air and just be filled with such gratitude that your soul chose this human experience.

Trust that you're exactly where your consciousness wants you to be and you're receiving each nugget in the precise perfect moment.

And then the last nugget of information for our minds about astrology that is important to bring in is Pluto in Aquarius.

We are in a death and rebirth moment as a humanity for the next 20 years and Pluto in Aquarius is not you start the gas and you stay the same speed for 20 years.

It's a stop and go.

We go 90 miles an hour,

We take a pause,

We go back,

We park the car,

We rest for a while,

We get back in the car,

We go 130 miles,

We come back,

We park,

We rest,

We coast,

We we're moving at a speed that each one of us uniquely guides and trust the perfection of that.

Your infinite soul came to this human realm with a very specific intention,

Purpose,

Alignment,

Perhaps karma and you're living it,

You're doing it,

You're here,

You're so aware you're listening to meditations.

You are in the process and it's perfect.

You don't have to rush it.

So as we start to wrap up this meditation time I invite us back into our intentions.

The new moon is a time to set an intention.

The new moon in Aries,

Total solar eclipse,

Chiron conjunct,

North node,

What else?

Pluto in Aquarius,

I don't even know,

Jupiter conjunct Uranus,

All the things.

It is a potent and I cannot emphasize that enough,

A powerful time to set intentions.

And so this meditation space,

The only message could be for you to receive this one nugget,

Be intentional.

Or you may be sitting here and your intentions have all clarified,

You know exactly what you want to intend,

You know exactly how you want to cast your desires out into the universe.

If so,

Journal them,

Write them down and then burn them,

Send them to the stars,

Release them,

Pray,

Meditate,

Walk with Gaia,

With nature,

Nourish yourself.

Like whatever it is that you feel guided to do,

Trust your way.

Be intentional about the process and it will unfold in the most incredible,

Magical ways.

Okay,

So let's come all the way back fully into awareness.

You may want to keep your eyes closed for just a moment as you bring your awareness back into this moment in your body.

So wiggle your toes,

Wiggle your fingers,

Maybe you want to move and shake your shoulders,

Your back a little bit.

You might be yawning,

Exhaling,

Sigh,

Coughing.

As you open your eyes,

Your eyes may be a little shiny,

Bright,

Blurry,

Watery.

When we are deep in consciousness and we come back into awareness,

Sometimes our eyes are like,

What?

So give yourself a moment,

Sit quietly,

Patiently in your body and let yourself totally calibrate back to right here,

Right now.

There is a lot of energy that is moving with the astrology of this time and you're choosing to be in the human body,

To be present.

You've got this.

It's a magical,

Amazing moment for humanity and you're so present for it that you're choosing meditation.

So again,

I honor you.

I honor and celebrate us and I wish you a beautiful,

Beautiful month of April and a new moon experience,

Total solar eclipse.

Thank you for being here and we are complete.

Sending you so much love.

I am so grateful that my soul found this meditation! Thank you! ❤️ 💫

Soothing voice, thought provoking analogies, thorough explanations…
she got me yawning and intrigued simultaneously so a part of me wanted to stay awake to understand the knowledge she was imparting and part of me was relaxing enough to sleep. I appreciate this meditation. Thanks!
