Hello and welcome to the Scorpio lunar eclipse meditation.
So now that we are in the Taurus and Scorpio eclipse cycle,
This lunar eclipse is the culmination of the solar eclipse that we had a few weeks ago in Taurus.
And it's really going to,
This meditation is really going to focus on letting go and really allowing ourselves to be pulled into alignment on our souls cosmic journey.
So eclipses are very faded,
Are portals of faded events and they basically ask us to release and shed and let go of things that are not allowing us to step into our souls journey that are keeping us small,
That are not allowing us to evolve spiritually.
If you'd like to work with any sacred herbs for this practice,
I recommend either before or after the meditation or just over the next few days if you're working with this energy,
Incorporating holy basil or tulsi.
You can often find it in tea form in health food stores,
But it's also included in the lunar Scorpio tea by Astro Bloom.
So drinking this tea really helps you work with the energy of that plant.
You can also bathe in it or even burn the herb as a sacred cleansing smoke.
Tulsi is a very spiritual herb.
It balances the mind,
Body and soul and basically,
It's very very purifying.
So it really allows us to move through that transformative and that purging process that the South node in Scorpio is really asking us to do during this lunation.
So finding a comfortable position either seated or laying down,
You might even want to do this meditation in the bath because we're going to be doing a water visualization and really tapping into the watery nature of Scorpio and this moon.
So first of all,
Making sure there's no distractions around you and maybe just exploring some light kind of snake-like fluid movements in the body,
Just allowing your spine to really loosen up.
Maybe rolling forward with the belly and then sinking back and really arching the chest forward and then sinking back and tucking the belly in.
Maybe you want to imagine yourself like a seaweed swaying in the bottom of the ocean and just really tap into that fluid energy and get it moving out of the body.
We want to remove any stagnant energy from the body.
To invite in flow and allow yourself to be taken by the tides of change that this eclipse is asking you to step into.
Neck rolls might feel really nice as well.
Exploring how that feels.
And then slowly coming to stillness and taking a deep breath in and taking a deep breath into the belly for a count of six.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Holding one,
Two,
Three,
Four.
Exhaling out the mouth to six.
One,
Two,
Three,
Four,
Five,
Six.
Repeating this and maybe you need to adjust the numbers to what feels good for you.
Inhale.
Deep into the belly.
Hold the breath in.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
Inhale.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
One last time.
Inhale.
Hold.
Exhale.
As you rest here,
Take note of your body pressing against whatever surface you are either sitting or laying on.
And then slowly imagine warm water rising around you.
It caresses your toes and feet.
Slowly rising up your shins and calves.
You feel safe and you feel held.
It moves up your knees to your thighs and glutes,
Encompassing you in its warm embrace.
Moving up the sides of your waist to your chest and back.
Up the arms,
Shoulders,
Neck.
Reaching up to your chin,
Your ears,
Cheekbones.
And then slowly coming up over your eyes and closing in around the top of your head.
If this brings you any level of discomfort,
Know that you are safe here.
Pluto is working with this full moon in Scorpio to take us to the depths of the ocean,
To the depths of the subconscious mind.
It's asking us to sit in the discomfort of places we have grown too comfortable in.
When something feels too comfortable,
There is a point at which no growth can happen.
And that brings the soul discomfort.
It begins to stir and it seeks novelty and it seeks a chance to expand and grow and evolve.
This lunar eclipse is asking us to reclaim our power and release attachments that hold us back from finding this spiritual expansion and evolution.
So as you float here comfortably and safely in the oceanic depths of Scorpio,
What may be illuminated for you are patterns and attachments and ways of being intimate with others that enable you to give your power away,
To give your resources away,
To give away intimacy and access to your body and things that you value that are actually preventing you from evolving in this life.
These patterns or situations or behaviours might be preventing you from grounding into self-worth independent of attachment to others.
They may be preventing you from finding freedom or autonomy with regards to your body,
Your value systems,
Your resources and what's being asked of you during this lunar eclipse is to illuminate,
Understand,
Shed,
Release and move.
To regenerate and rebirth new ways of approaching these things in your life.
Ways that allow you to move forward with autonomy and self-worth and freedom towards your soul's journey in this life.
And as you float here in this warm water and you start to realise what may be coming up for you around these things and what the moon has been illuminating for you on this cycle,
You feel the weight of these old patterns and behaviours weighing you down.
And so you decide that you can no longer hold on to them and you picture them in your mind's eye being absorbed by the water surrounding you,
Carried away by the current.
With every exhale,
Whatever this situation is,
Whatever these beliefs are,
Whatever these patterns are,
Whatever these relationships or attachments are,
Imagine the water taking them away,
Purifying them,
Carrying them with its kind.
And with every exhale you feel lighter and you start to slowly float back up through the warm water,
Fully relaxed allowing it to take you up towards the sun's rays,
Filtering through.
The top of the water.
And as you feel yourself release all that no longer serves you,
You feel lighter and more aligned,
More at peace,
More rooted in your self-worth and more sure of the things that you value and that you want to share with others.
And as you continue to slowly float up,
Letting the water carry you and the weight descend out of you through the water,
You feel a sense of rebirth,
A new sense of hope,
A light energy emerging through your solar plexus chakra right above the belly button,
Almost like an internal sun reflected from the sun beaming down on you.
The sun's rays join the solar plexus in your belly and you are drawn up beyond the surface of the water and you are able to take a deep breath of fresh,
Clean air,
Like it is the first breath of a new life.
Breathe in deeply and exhale through the mouth,
Feeling lighter,
More aligned and empowered.
Slowly start to bring your awareness back to the space that you are in,
To any sounds that may be present around you,
Feeling your fingers and your toes,
Wiggling them slightly,
And then maybe shifting your head from side to side,
Coming back to your body in the present moment.
I hope you take this feeling of lightness and empowerment and rebirth with you to the rest of your day,
Night or week.
Thank you for joining me and happy full moon.
