I want you to start today's practice by wiggling out your body,
Releasing any tension that's stored in your wrists,
Your shoulders,
Your legs,
And your neck,
Finally finding a place of stillness.
My name is Ashley and today we are going to do a full moon manifestation meditation,
Harnessing the power of the moon as it's at its biggest glow and biggest visualization in the sky tonight.
Allow your eyelids to feel heavy.
You can be on your seat,
Sitting or lying down.
Whatever feels comfortable for you in this moment,
Practice a bit of self-love and do that for yourself.
We're going to turn all of our attention to our breath,
To the rise and the fall of our belly as we inhale,
Expanding ourselves to our fullest capacity,
Filling ourselves up with life force,
And on our exhale,
Releasing everything,
Allowing our belly button to find our spine.
Full moons are the perfect time to tap into the power of the moon,
And that means releasing and letting go of things that no longer serve you.
We're going to take a few cleansing breaths to get ourselves started,
And I will guide you.
You will inhale through your nose,
And when you exhale,
You will release sound and vibration in your throat.
So let's begin.
Inhale through your nose,
And exhale through your mouth.
Inhale through your nose,
And exhale through your mouth.
One more,
Inhale through your nose,
And exhale through your mouth.
Allow your breath to find its normal flow.
Do not judge it,
Do not put pressure on it.
Just allow your inhale to fill you up,
And your exhale to release.
I want you to imagine you are standing on the beach.
It is nighttime,
And the full moon is shining brightly over the water,
Reflecting on the waves.
I want you to feel the sand beneath your toes.
Is it warm?
Is it cold?
Feel yourself grounded and planted in the earth,
And I want you to hear the waves crashing on the shore.
Maybe there are some birds in the distance,
Or maybe you just hear the perfect flow of the ocean.
I want you to smell the saltiness of the air,
Smell the water,
And the night.
As you're looking out in the distance on the water that's dancing with the glow of the full moon,
You see something floating in the water,
It's a box.
And with each inhale and exhale,
The waves push the box closer to you.
What does it look like?
Is it wooden or metal?
Are there colors or etchings?
The box finally arrives at your feet,
And you get to pick it up.
Is it small or is it big?
Is it heavy or is it light?
Whatever comes to your mind first,
Take that for yourself.
I want you to open the box,
And as you open it,
A bright light,
A bright yellow light,
Pours out from the box,
Just as bright as the moon.
Look at its beautiful glow,
Look at its transformation,
Look at it at its fullest potential,
Just like the moon in the sky.
Gently close the lid of the box for now,
We'll come back to that box in a moment.
As you're standing on the shore,
I want you to reflect on something in your life that is no longer serving you.
It could be a negative thought pattern,
A physical pattern or behavior,
It could even be relationships with someone else or your relationship with yourself.
Whatever you choose,
Know that it is your intention for this thing to change.
Don't forget to breathe,
Allowing your inhale to fill you up,
And your exhale to bring you closer to the earth.
When you have this thing that you are ready to cleanse from your life,
I want you to hold it in your hand and allow it to take the shape of a seashell.
Whatever seashell comes to mind is what is meant for you,
It can be a conch shell or it can be a tiny seashell.
Hold it in your hands and place the intention,
I allow myself to release,
And then repeat whatever thing you've decided for yourself.
Repeat this two more times in your mind's eye.
We're now going to take your shell and we're going to grab the box and open it up again,
Allowing the light to pour out and shine onto your face.
And gently place that seashell in the box and close the lid,
Latching it shut.
You have now made the conscious choice to let this thing go.
This isn't going to show up quickly in your life,
This is a six month journey,
But today is day one.
You're going to walk out into the water,
Feeling the waves crashing over your feet.
Is the water cold or is it warm?
As you get about knee high,
You feel the resistance of the waves getting stronger,
But you persist and you push through because you want change to happen in your life.
You've now walked past the waves and you've set the box in the water.
You're looking at the moon glowing down on you.
Maybe this is a moment of gratitude for you showing up today for yourself,
For setting an intention to change your life.
Say thank you to yourself,
To the planet,
To the moon and to the stars.
And gently inhale and on an exhale push the box away.
With each inhale and exhale,
The box drifts away into the distance,
The moonlight reflecting off the top until you can no longer see that box anymore.
Slowly make your way back to the shore,
Finding yourself standing,
Staring out at the ocean Bask in the warmth of the full moon for a moment,
Feeling the warmth all over your body.
Your skin is almost warm to the touch.
You are releasing and you are letting go.
You are closing a chapter of your life and starting a new one.
We're going to do a few more cleansing breaths and I will guide you.
We'll inhale through our nose and exhale through our mouth.
Clear out your belly.
And inhale.
And exhale.
And inhale.
And exhale.
And inhale.
And exhale.
You can allow your breath to return to its natural flow.
You can leave the ocean behind you,
But know you can come back to that moment anytime you need it.
Finding yourself standing on the shore,
Looking out at the reflection of the moon,
Dancing on the water.
Just allow your focus to be on your inhale and your exhale.
If any thoughts are coming up,
Allow them to pass by like a bird flying in the sky.
You can come back to that thought.
Right now your focus is on yourself and your life force as you breathe in life and you let go on the exhale of any difficulties,
Finding yourself in a perfect flow.
I want you to allow your physical body to feel heavy on the surface beneath you.
If you are sitting,
That is your tailbone,
And if you are lying down,
That is your spine.
Feel your body melted into the floor.
No tension anywhere.
Your eyebrows are relaxed,
Your jaw is relaxed,
Your tongue is removed from the roof of your mouth.
Just breathe in the stillness and allow the vibration of the earth to connect with your body and your soul.
Slowly and with intention,
I want you to move your fingers and your toes.
Roll out your wrists and your ankles,
Finding any bit of movement you need to wake yourself up to the space you are sitting in.
Rolling your neck side to side,
Waking up the muscles on the back of your neck.
If you are lying down,
Roll over to your favorite side in the fetal position and breathe here for a moment,
Thanking yourself for this reset,
Thanking yourself for showing up today,
Thanking yourself for releasing,
For reviewing,
For letting go.
Gently press yourself up to a seated position,
Feeling your seat bones connected to the earth.
Take one big inhale together and exhale.
Put your hands above your head like it's your first big stretch of the morning,
Maybe gently moving your body side to side,
Stretching out your waist and finding any other movement you might need to bring yourself back to this plane of existence.
When you're ready,
Place your hands over your heart.
Thank you so much for showing up today.
Thank you for showing up for yourself.
Thank you for showing up with me.
Thank you for showing up to raise the vibration of the planet,
Connecting yourself to the higher consciousness of all the other souls on this journey.
You can allow your hands to fall.
You can allow your eyes to gently flutter open.
I hope you have a beautiful day.
