Welcome to this Cancer New Moon Ritual Meditation.
The moon is at home in this cardinal water sign and this comfort and safety allows us to tap into our emotions more deeply during this period.
By leaning into our intuitive feeling we can begin to unravel the path our emotions are leading us towards and flow with the waters of life instead of resisting or changing course against the currents.
In this ritual meditation we'll set intentions around nurturing our emotions and creativity and reflect on our ancestral past and how all of this can reflect our desire to create something comforting,
Intimate,
And close.
Begin this meditation by arriving in a comfortable seat.
Gently close the eyes,
Lift the spine and the crown of the head.
Just begin to settle into this space feeling the body slow down,
The thoughts slow down,
Only feeling the awareness of the heart and maybe even your heartbeat.
Cancer is known for its capacity to behold great emotion.
Churning like the ocean you may find that your emotions are stirring at this time but know that they are pushing you towards your destination.
Begin to connect with your emotional state through the heart chakra at the center of the chest.
See your breath move into the heart space.
As you breathe start to see a green disc start to spin clockwise.
Feel your heart open up as the green disc continues to spin.
The energy of the heart chakra releases any fear or pain.
Invite the loving,
Nurturing energy of this cardinal water sign into the heart.
With each breath feel this green disc expand larger and larger as your whole heart is drawn into this energy center.
Let all your emotions flow,
Heal and mend.
You can bring both hands to your heart to feel more safe in this emotional release.
Continue to breathe through the heart awakening love and compassion.
Take a final deep breath in and a deep breath out.
See the disc slowly spin to a close sealing in joy and self-love into the heart chakra.
Gently come back to a nice easy rhythm of breath.
Just noticing the lightness of the heart.
Bring your awareness to your abdomen,
Your stomach.
Notice if there's any tightness or gripping here.
Allow yourself to soften the grip in this area.
We'll start this new moon on a clean slate.
Allow yourself to release any defense mechanisms and walls you've built up.
Then imagine yourself receiving criticism you didn't ask for.
Instead of defending,
How does it feel to receive the words for what they are?
Channel the emotions that arise into compassion.
A wider understanding of both perspectives instead of just yours.
As it bubbles into the heart space,
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Popping the bubble.
Let these feelings float into space.
Grounding back to a sense of deep love of yourself and your worth.
Begin to take a moment to reflect on these open questions.
What comforts do you naturally seek?
Does your method of self-soothing serve your higher good?
How do you connect to your emotions?
Do you hide them?
Do you overly express them?
Where can you find a balance to embrace your feelings and honor them?
Do you wish to deepen your connection to your family on this new moon?
What about your ancestry inspires you?
What about your past do you wish to transform for the future?
The moon is at home in cancer,
Making this a supportive time to nurture your emotions or even a creative project.
Set an intention around what you'd like to see in this new beginning.
Whether that is a wish to express your emotions more fully or even to nurture your creativity and intuition.
How can your desire or your intention create deeper intimate connections in your life?
Allow these manifestations to flow from the core of your soul so they may culminate by the next full moon in cancer in six months time.
Now we'll give energy to these manifestations through our breath.
Big inhale through the nose,
All that you desire and deserve.
Feel it in your body.
Now we'll take a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Big inhale through the nose,
All that you desire and deserve.
Feel it in your body.
Exhale out the mouth,
All that keeps you from claiming what you deserve.
Inhale more comfort in your life.
Exhale any tension or stress.
Inhale a deep intuitive knowing.
Exhale any overthinking.
Now see yourself laying on a boat in the calm waters of the ocean under the darkness of the new moon.
You are safe out in these waters.
As your body lays heavy,
You feel the gentle and subtle rocking of the small waves.
Mother ocean is soothing you.
As you gaze up at the ocean,
You feel the gentle and subtle rocking of the small waves.
As you gaze up to the starry night sky,
You see the new moon open up revealing a pure white light that shines down on your heart and abdomen.
She instills the energy to manifest and bring forth all your dreams,
Amplifying your desire and will.
As you are held in this light,
Feel your emotions become nurtured,
Seen,
And validated.
Allow yourself to become absorbed in this white light with the new moon,
Feeling nourished by her assistance and empowered by her manifestation magic.
Begin to radiate gratitude to the new moon,
Feeling so so thankful for this gift to be in the presence of yet another new moon,
Permeating this gratitude all throughout yourselves.
Gently breathe into the body as you slowly reawaken out of your lunar body and shift into your solar body.
Feel yourself hold on to the wisdom the lunar body has shown you.
Close your meditation practice by taking a deep breath in and a deep breath out.
Continue with your new moon ritual or journal on any insights that came up during your meditation.
Thank you for joining me tonight.
Happy New Moon in Cancer!
