Hello,
I am Avery Nava and welcome to a meditation inspired by the energy of the waxing moon in Scorpio.
The astrological energy of the waxing moon in Scorpio is intense and transformative.
Scorpio is a water sign ruled by the planet Pluto,
Associated with deep emotions,
Power,
And rebirth.
When the moon is waxing in Scorpio,
It signifies a period of increased emotional intensity,
Passion,
And the potential for personal growth and transformation.
During this time you may find yourself drawn to explore your innermost desires and uncover hidden truths about yourself.
You may find that you want to confront deep-seated emotions.
Scorpio energy really encourages introspection and self-reflection,
And it has willingness to dive beneath the surface to uncover what lies beneath.
It is a time for emotional healing,
For release and renewal.
The Scorpionic energy is a perfect time to put energy into shadow work.
So as you settle into a comfortable position,
Gently close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale slowly,
Allowing your body to relax.
Now let's begin to find ourselves in the body,
Feeling the parts of the body that are touching the floor.
Take a deep breath in.
And exhale,
Releasing tension out with the breath.
Finding softness in your face,
In your jaw,
In your shoulders,
Your chest,
Your belly,
Your hips,
Your legs,
And your feet.
Bring your awareness to the parts of the body that are touching the floor.
Feel the way that gravity assists in sending you down towards the earth,
Connecting.
Today we embark on a journey of self-discovery,
Delving into the depths of our being to explore the realms of shadow work.
In the realm of shadows lies this unexplored aspect of ourselves,
The parts we tend to deny and hide and overlook.
It is here,
In the darkness,
That we find our deepest wounds and fears and insecurities.
Yet it is also where we discover profound insights and wisdom and the potential for profound transformation.
As you venture into this introspective space,
Remember to approach with compassion and non-judgment.
The purpose of shadow work is not to condemn or criticize ourselves,
But to shine the light of awareness on the hidden corners of our psyche.
It is an act of courage and self-love,
An acknowledgement that every part of us deserves understanding and acceptance.
Allow your mind to wander through the landscape of your memories,
Experiences,
And relationships.
Notice the reoccurring themes,
The patterns that have shaped your existence.
These patterns,
Though rooted in the shadows,
Hold valuable insights into your authentic self.
Be gentle with yourself as you encounter aspects of your shadow that may be unsettling or challenging.
Remember you are not defined by these shadowy aspects,
They are simply fragments of your whole.
Embrace them with curiosity and compassion,
For it is through this acknowledgement that true healing and integration can occur.
Notice any resistance or discomfort that arises within you as you explore the shadowy realms.
These emotions are normal and indicate the presence of deeply ingrained patterns and conditioning.
Breathe into these sensations,
Embracing them as messengers,
Inviting them to reveal their truths.
As you navigate this inner terrain,
Seek to reclaim the lost fragments of your being.
Engage in deep introspection,
Asking yourself profound questions.
What fears or insecurities have held you back?
What unresolved emotions linger within you?
What limiting beliefs have hindered your growth?
By unraveling these threads,
You bring them into the light,
Freeing yourself from their grip.
With each layer you peel back,
You create space for self-acceptance and personal growth.
Embrace the process of shadow work as a transformative journey,
An opportunity to embrace the wholeness of your being.
Recognize that your shadow is not something to be conquered or banished,
But rather a powerful teacher and catalyst for your growth.
As your meditation draws to a close,
Take a moment to express gratitude for the insights gained during this exploration of shadows.
Know that shadow work is an ongoing practice,
A lifelong journey of self-discovery and self-compassion.
Embrace the light and darkness within you,
For it is in this delicate dance that your true essence unfolds.
When you are ready,
Slowly open your eyes,
Carrying with you the wisdom gleaned from your journey into the depths.
May you continue to embrace the transformative power of shadow work as you walk the path of self-discovery and self-love.
