Welcome to this Waxing Gibbous Moon meditation for embracing growth and self-discovery.
Take a seat or lie down and close your eyes as you begin to tune in to the rhythm of your breath.
Allow your breath to become regulated,
Pulling your inhale through your nose,
Your throat,
Your sides,
And eventually your belly.
As you exhale,
Let your belly soften back until all the 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 cooling air under this Waxing Gibbous Moon.
Let the muscles of your eyes soften.
Unclench your jaw.
Drop your tongue from the roof of your mouth and allow the shoulders to fall away from your ears.
Relax.
Relax.
Now turn your attention to the Waxing Gibbous Moon.
Its increasing light is a symbol not of external goals,
But of internal growth and the illumination of personal insights.
Feel the moon's bright,
Almost full light as it casts a gentle glow over you.
Let this light represent clarity and understanding coming into your life.
As we continue to meditate under the Waxing Gibbous Moon,
Embrace the idea of continuing to grow and refine your understanding of self.
Take a moment to consider the qualities you wish to develop further.
Perhaps patience,
Resilience,
Or openness.
These qualities can be big or small.
What is it that you need more of in your life?
Breathe deeply as you begin to consider the qualities you wish to develop.
Imagine nurturing these qualities just as you might tend to a garden,
Providing them with care and attention that they need to thrive.
Envision this garden in your mind's eye and see yourself tending to the needs of your inner self.
And now repeat the affirmation,
I allow space to improve,
Evolve,
And move closer to my true self.
I allow space to improve,
Evolve,
And move closer to my true self.
Allow these words to resonate within you,
Feeling their truth and power,
Enhancing your journey on this road to self-discovery.
Continue to breathe deeply,
Feeling the energy of the Waxing Gibbous Moon supporting your journey.
With each inhale,
Draw in peace and clarity.
And with each exhale,
Release any self-doubt or confusion.
When you feel ready,
Begin to bring your awareness back to your surroundings.
Gently wiggle your fingers and your toes.
Bring movement into your body.
And when you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Return to the world refreshed and more in tune with yourself.
Carry the sense of personal growth and clarity forward,
Allowing it to illuminate your path just as the Waxing Gibbous Moon lights up the night sky.
