This is your new moon ritual meditation for the new moon in Virgo.
So for this meditation,
Start by finding a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down.
Find a spot that feels safe.
Release and relax the body.
Untighten the eyes by softly closing them or softening your gaze.
Drop the tongue from the roof of your mouth.
Relax the muscles of the jaw.
Keep your spine long and upright,
Allowing this powerful energy channel to harness the moon's lunar essence.
And once you've found a comfortable position,
Just begin to notice your breath.
Then with intention,
Start to make your exhales longer than your inhales.
Inhaling in through the nose and exhaling out the mouth as long as you can.
Continue to take a few more rounds of this long exhale breath,
Quieting the body to connect to lunar essence.
Release the breath and softly land to a space within.
Bring to mind any thoughts you have about changing yourself in the narrative of criticism that you'd like to release.
Let the darkness of this new moon consume it.
What aspect of your skill set to being in service to the greater good do you want to welcome in this next moon cycle?
What may you want to heal?
What in your space may need a tune-up in cleansing,
Organization,
Or purification?
It can be physical or emotional.
Connect these reflections with the breath.
Inhale all that you wish to manifest.
Exhale all that you wish to release.
Inhaling all that you wish to welcome in your life.
Exhaling all that needs to be removed.
Take a few more of these manifest and release breaths.
Release the breath and come back to your natural rhythm.
Picture the soft white light of the new moon descending over you.
The light beams down into the crown of your head.
Feel this light clear your self-critical thoughts you wish to release.
As this light moves through your head,
Focus on your breath to move this white light through the nooks of your brain,
Each curvature and ending within the casing of your brain,
Cleansing your mental space.
Now feel the white light start to shine from your abdomen,
Your small intestine,
And digestive tract to be specific.
Ask the new moon to amplify this generative cleansing energy to fine-tune your skills you wish to share with the world.
Ask the new moon to empower your clarity and organization.
Immerse in the sensation of the white light as it eventually fully encapsulates your body.
Open the mind,
Open the heart,
Be receptive to any sensations that may come up.
Now send gratitude to the moon for her cleansing powers and for allowing you to harness her energy to receive cosmic wisdom.
Come back to a natural rhythm of breath,
Connecting with your body,
Maybe feeling the points of contact of where your body meets the ground.
Start to invite gentle movement,
Flutter the eyes open,
And when you're ready,
Feel free to continue on with your new moon ritual and journal any insight you received.
Happy new moon,
Invergo friends!
