Hello and welcome to this special meditation for the new moon solar eclipse in Libra on October 2nd,
2024.
If you listen to this in the future,
However,
Know that it will still be beneficial as the practices shared are universal and can be applied to any new moon or solar eclipse or really any time you want to invoke transformation in your life.
So thanks for being here and go ahead and come into a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down and allow your eyes to come to close and begin to turn your attention inward.
Take these first few moments to simply be with yourself.
Feel your breath flowing in and out.
And feel your body relaxing and softening.
And as you connect with yourself,
Just notice how you're feeling today.
How's your mood?
How's your energy?
By the end of this practice,
You will likely feel different.
So it's great to do an initial check in and just take your inner temperature,
So to speak.
How are you today?
New moons encourage new beginnings and cycles,
While eclipses support us in letting go of anything that no longer serves us,
With the aim of clearing our path moving forward.
When these two occur together,
They open a powerful portal for transformation,
Which we'll tap into throughout this meditation.
So come back to your breath and feel the breath moving through your physical body.
And then let your awareness begin to shift from your physical self to your cosmic self,
The energetic part of you that is connected to the vastness of the universe.
As you open to this expansive part of you,
Intentionally connect to the moon.
And as you do,
In your own unique way,
Say hello to the moon.
And see if the moon responds.
And then move a little closer to the moon.
You can do this energetically through your imagination or visualization.
And as you come closer to the moon,
How do you perceive it?
The moon is in its new moon phase.
And in this phase,
The moon can seem almost invisible or empty.
How does it appear to you?
Let the new moon's energy touch you.
And as it does,
Let it trigger an awareness of what new chapter you are beginning in your life.
As you reflect upon these new beginnings,
Ask the moon if it has any messages for you about this.
And know that these messages can be received through sensations,
Feelings,
Images and thoughts.
Now in order to fully embrace newness in your life,
You may need to surrender and let go of the old.
The solar eclipse occurring with this new moon is here to support you with that.
So consider,
What are you ready to let go of?
What old habits,
Behaviors,
Trainings or patterns do you want to release?
Ask yourself what you need to clear before you can become anew.
Now bring your awareness back to your body and back to your breath.
And to integrate these new moon eclipse transformations,
Begin to imagine the breath flowing in through the crown of your head,
Symbolizing the vibrant new energy you are inviting into your life.
As you exhale,
See the breath moving out through the base of your spine,
Symbolizing old energy that you are releasing.
Repeat this several times,
Breathing in through the crown of your head,
Inviting new energy,
New ways of being in the world and new beginnings into your life.
And breathing out through the base of your spine,
Letting go of anything that no longer serves you,
Anything that could obstruct the new ways of being that you are stepping into.
Take one more of those breaths,
And then just invite your breath to come back into its own easy natural rhythm.
And notice how you feel.
To wrap up this meditation,
Create an intention that you want to bring with you into the rest of your day.
Let this intention reflect who you are becoming.
Let it reflect the new beginnings in your life.
Feel your entire self,
The moon,
And the entire cosmos receiving your intention,
Infusing it with positive energy so it can come to fruition with grace and ease.
Let's take three slow and complete breaths to ground this powerful energy of transformation into every cell of your being.
May you continue to be aligned with this powerful new moon eclipse and allow it to support the changes that you desire in your life.
Thanks for joining us,
And have a beautiful rest of your day.
