Hi and welcome to your full moon meditation.
My name is Caroline,
And it is an honor to spend this time together.
Tonight's practice is about embracing the wisdom of the strawberry moon,
Releasing,
Letting go,
And setting your intentions.
Fully trusting in the process,
Knowing that your desires are taken care of by the universe.
No matter who you are,
No matter where you are,
We all look up at the same moon.
As the moon illuminates the night sky,
It is a great time to turn inward and do some intentional work and practices to work with the moon's energy.
This guided practice is perfect in guiding you on releasing what no longer serves you and planting new seeds of intention.
It is a time when emotions can run high and intuitive abilities may be heightened,
And this heightened energy can be harnessed to manifest your desires and to gain clarity on your path.
No matter your current path or story,
No matter your background or situation,
You hold the power to shape your reality.
As a co-creator of your own destiny,
Your thoughts shape your beliefs,
And you possess the ability to transform them to manifest a new reality.
Allow yourself to settle in,
Becoming aware of your heartbeat.
Your heart just beats,
Without us even having to do any work for it.
Isn't that amazing?
Amazing.
Your body is a true miracle.
Now let's dive a little deeper into our heart.
Whatever blockages or pain,
Whatever sense of darkness,
Confusion,
Anxiety,
Conflict or disconnection that you feel.
Allow yourself to just witness.
Allow yourself to bring the light of awareness into these feelings of darkness.
Simply noticing and being aware.
Bring some deep and nourishing breaths into your heart now,
And as you release each breath,
Feel your heart softening and opening more and more.
With each inhalation,
Bringing nourishment and love to your heart.
With each exhalation,
Feel supported.
Allow yourself to rest in the sacred space of your heart,
The mother space,
The source.
A gentle reminder that the universal intelligence runs through you and is always within you,
Ready to support you when you need it.
Just remember to tap into it.
Once the moon has reached its full illumination,
It will slowly begin to wane back to the new moon.
As such,
This full moon is the perfect time to release.
Now consider what you are ready to release.
Allow yourself to surrender any old fears,
Doubts or limiting beliefs.
Consider them to the moonlit sky,
And just imagine them dissolving into the ether.
Feel the weight of these burdens lifting from your shoulders,
Creating space within you for new possibilities and growth.
Now imagine yourself standing in a beautiful clearing,
Surrounded by ancient trees.
You hear the rustle in the leaves,
And the soft,
Rhythmic hum of the crickets and nocturnal creatures around you.
Above you stretches a vast,
Beautiful sky,
Adorned by the majestic full moon in its fullest capacity.
Now take a moment to feel the earth beneath your feet,
Grounding you in the present moment.
Feel roots extending from your feet or from your spine,
Growing deep down into the earth,
Anchoring you,
Securing you,
Nurturing you.
Now feel that grounding energy coming up from Mother Earth,
That supportive,
Loving and nurturing energy.
Feeling safe and grounded.
Allow your breath to just be steady now.
Allow the cool night air to fill your lungs,
And as you exhale,
Release any tension or worries that you might be holding,
Inhaling a deep sense of calm and groundedness,
Exhaling A full moon has long been revered as the symbol of illumination and clarity.
For many,
It is a beacon of guidance in times of darkness.
In the ancient traditions,
This moon was known as the Strawberry Moon.
It was a time when strawberries ripen and honey flows freely from the hives.
Now picture this sweetness of ripe strawberries,
Their ruby-ripe hues glowing under the moonlight,
And the golden richness of honey dripping from combs.
These symbols of abundance remind us of the bountiful gifts of nature and the cycles of harvest and renewal that echo within our own life.
Now tonight,
Under the watchful eye of the Strawberry Moon,
Take a moment to reflect on your own harvest.
What fruits have you nurtured and grown in your life?
What dreams have begun to blossom,
And what aspirations call out to be realized?
Take a moment to celebrate all the good in our lives,
Expressing gratitude for how far we have come,
What we've learned and how we've evolved,
What we have nurtured and what we have grown.
Now focus on what you wish to cultivate in your life,
Because the full moon is a powerful time for manifestation.
Think about your dreams and desires.
What are your upcoming goals for the month?
Visualize these as seeds sprouting within the fertile soil of your soul,
Fully supported and nurtured by the moon's energy.
Now see in vivid detail as these seeds grow,
Blossoming into beautiful flowers or maturing into strong and healthy trees.
Imagine your goals and desires as realized achievements,
As if it has happened right now.
Feel the emotions associated with these successes,
Feeling joy,
Pride,
Happiness or satisfaction,
And allow these feelings to fill you up,
Basking in a sense of accomplishment and happiness.
You are the co-creator of your destiny,
Always in alignment with the universal intelligence.
You trust in the unfolding of your journey,
Knowing that every phase,
Every waxing and waning is part of your unique story.
Take a few moments here to silently reflect on this powerful moment,
Reminding yourself of the infinite potential that resides within you,
Knowing that you are fully supported,
Guided and cherished by the universe.
Now as we come to the end of this practice,
Slowly bring your awareness back to your surroundings,
Gently wiggle your fingers,
Wiggle your toes and when you are ready,
Open your eyes.
May the wisdom of the strawberry moon continue to brighten up your path and guiding you towards your highest aspirations and your deepest fulfillment.
Thank you for choosing me to guide you tonight,
I hope you enjoyed this guided practice.
