Welcome to this Waxing Crescent Moon Meditation for nurturing growth and intention.
Take a seat or lie down and gently close your eyes and begin to tune in to your breath.
Allow your breathing to become regulated.
Pull in your inhale through your nose,
Your throat,
Your sides and eventually your belly.
As you exhale,
Let your belly soften back until all your air is out and your body has softened.
As we steady the pace of our breathing,
We can also steady the rhythm of our minds.
With each breath,
Allow your body to relax more deeply,
Your mind to clear and your heart to open.
Feel yourself becoming more present with every moment.
Feel your breath moving through your nostrils,
Filling you with the cooling air under this crescent moon.
Let the muscles of your eyes soften.
Unclench your jaw.
Drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth.
Feel the shoulders fall away from your ears.
Relax.
Relax.
As you settle into this calm state,
Bring your awareness to the waxing crescent moon.
When the moon is waxing,
It's building energy and outward expression.
It presents an opportunity to take the intentions that we're working on and turn them into a reality.
This sliver of light in the sky represents the initial steps towards your dreams,
The beginning of growth and the unfolding of potential.
Visualize this crescent as a symbol of hope and possibility lighting your path.
Take a moment to think about the intentions you're currently working on.
These intentions can be big or small.
And imagine each intention as a seed you have planted in a lush,
Vibrant garden.
Under the soft light of the crescent moon,
These seeds are beginning to sprout.
Each sprout is small but determined,
Pushing through the soil towards the light.
This garden is your dreamscape,
Where your hopes are nurtured and begin to take shape.
As you watch these sprouts grow,
Reflect on the affirmation,
I trust my path and take steps towards my dreams with confidence.
I trust my path and take steps towards my dreams with confidence.
Repeat this affirmation silently to yourself,
Letting its truth resonate within you.
Feel a sense of trust in your journey and confidence in your actions.
I trust my path and take steps towards my dreams with confidence.
Now consider a new habit that aligns with your intentions and will nurture these growing sprouts.
What does your garden of intentions need in order to grow and thrive?
Visualize yourself engaging in this habit and see how it supports the growth of your intentions.
As you continue to meditate on growth and nurturing,
Think about how you can care for yourself during this phase.
Imagine nourishing your body,
Your mind and your spirit with activities that bring you joy and peace.
Take a few more deep breaths,
Feeling your body grounded,
And your mind clear.
With each inhale,
Draw in strength and vitality.
And with each exhale,
Release fear and doubt.
When you are ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to the present.
When you are ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to the present.
Wiggle your fingers and your toes,
Gently stretch out your arms and your legs,
And slowly open your eyes.
You have now taken another step towards your dreams under the waxing crescent moon.
Carry the sense of hope and intention with you as you move forward.
