Today is the full moon in Aries,
So this practice is a little meditation for you to connect with the full moon and the energy of Aries.
This is a great meditation if you'd like to use it before your full moon ritual to really get yourself in the mindset to align and connect with the lunar energy.
So start by getting in a comfortable position for your meditation.
If you are so lucky to have a room where the moonlight is visible,
Do your practice in that room right now.
Find yourself in a seat with your spine tall,
Shoulders relaxed,
Tailbone grounds with the earth.
Close the eyes and feel the moonbeams just filling the space.
If you're in a room with moonlight or visualize the moonbeams start to shine over your body.
The full moon can be an emotionally and physically exhausting time with heightened energy all around.
So really take time to create a space to restore and rest.
You are allowed to just take it easy.
We'll start with some gentle movement.
So start by rolling out your neck,
Drawing your nose with little circles and eventually making bigger circles,
Rolling your neck side to side,
Tucking chin to chest.
Switch directions with your circles.
Then come back to a neutral position with your neck.
Next start to roll out the wrists and switch directions,
Rolling out your wrists.
Now find your way back to stillness,
Sinking deeper and deeper into the body.
Now begin to connect with your breath,
Noticing your inhales and your exhales.
We'll move into a three-part breath.
So the first third of your inhale,
Breathe into your neck.
The second third of your inhale,
Breathe into your chest.
And the last third of your inhale,
Breathe into your belly.
Then exhale one long breath out.
We'll do that again.
Inhale a third into your neck.
Inhale a third into your chest.
Then inhale a third into your belly.
And exhale one long smooth breath out.
Take another round of that breath on your own.
Gently return to your natural breath and begin to set an intention around celebrating your individuality.
The energy of Aries is very initiative,
Independent,
Free,
Spiritually courageous.
And what parts of the elements of Aries can you find within yourself as the full moon illuminates these features on the collective tonight?
Set an intention about something unique and individual to you that you absolutely adore about yourself.
Once you have that intention set,
Keep it close to your heart.
Bring to mind the areas in your life where you take action,
Where you are independent and freedom.
How can you use the light of the full moon to shine on these aspects of yourself?
Is there a lack there?
Is there a balance that's needed?
Is there something you want to highlight to the universe and be like,
Give me more?
Feel the strong powerful light of the moon's energy in the sign of Aries to shine where you have spiritual independence.
What parts of your life do you feel liberated or need liberation from?
During this full moon period,
Have you felt that the moon has been illuminating where you take on heat?
Have you been holding on to heat and not able to release it?
Or do you need a fiery spark to light the passions within you?
Are there any negative views on your own self-image that you'd like to release?
The light of the moon is cleansing,
Releasing,
Purifying.
Feel it pour through every cell in your body,
Releasing any trauma you may have around dependence.
As the moonlight clears your body,
It also sets you free.
Invite this feeling of freedom.
Fully take on what it is like to have pure ultimate freedom.
And with your unique individual energetic imprint on this world,
How you feel free to share who you are.
Feel the moonlight complete its cycle of running through every cell,
Every crevice of your mind,
Body,
And spirit.
Take a moment to send gratitude to the moon for aiding you in your release,
For illuminating the parts of your life where you may be independent,
Free,
And courageous.
Once you finish sending gratitude to the moon shining in all of her brightness tonight,
Gently begin to open the eyes and continue on with your full moon ritual.
Maybe you go and take a moon bath,
Bathing in the beautiful moonlight tonight,
Or you go charge your crystals.
Maybe journal on what may have come up during the meditation.
Happy full moon in Aries friends.
Thank you so much for joining me.
