Welcome to this new moon intention journey.
I invite you to find a comfortable position,
Seated or lying down.
Let your body relax,
Eyes softly close.
Begin by taking a slow,
Deep breath in through the nose.
And exhale gently through the mouth.
Again,
Inhale slowly for a count of four.
Hold gently for four.
And exhale softly for six.
With each breath,
Allow your mind to settle,
Letting the busy thoughts fade like clouds drifting across a clear sky.
Bring your attention to your body,
Starting at the crown of your head.
Gently notice any tension or tightness.
Soften your scalp,
Your forehead,
Your eyes,
And your jaw.
Allow your shoulders to drop,
Releasing any burden or tightness.
Feel this relaxation flow down your arms,
Through your hands,
All the way to your fingertips.
Bring your awareness now to your chest and belly.
Soften any tension you find.
Relax your hips,
Your thighs,
Calves,
Ankles,
And down to your feet.
Feel your entire body melting into support,
Connected and grounded.
Now visualize roots growing from the base of your spine and the bottoms of your feet.
Reaching deep into the earth,
These roots sink through layers of soil,
Rock,
And crystal,
Anchoring you deeply into earth's nourishing embrace.
Feel the earth's steady,
Calm energy rising through those roots into your body.
Allow this grounding energy to fill you with stability,
Calm,
And clarity.
Take another slow breath in for four,
Hold four,
And exhale for six.
As you breathe,
Gently set your intentions for this meditation to plant seeds of clarity,
Purpose,
And grounded progress.
Sacred intentions that will fill you with clarity,
Purpose,
And will grow in the weeks ahead.
Imagine a space inside of you,
Your mind or your heart,
As a desk or garden.
See what might be cluttering it.
Old papers,
Tangled weeds,
Forgotten tools,
Or scattered thoughts.
One by one,
Notice these distractions,
Doubts,
Or self-criticism.
As you breathe out,
Imagine yourself tidying this space.
Removing what no longer serves.
Letting go of perfectionism,
Overwhelm,
Or the fear of failure.
Each exhale clears away clutter.
Each inhale invites calm,
Order,
And gentle clarity.
Repeat silently to yourself,
I release what does not serve my highest good.
I embrace steady,
Grounded progress.
I welcome ease and simplicity.
Allow yourself to be free.
To feel lighter,
Clearer,
And more spacious.
Pausing here for a few breaths.
Breathing out clutter.
Breathing in clarity.
Now,
Picture yourself standing before a beautiful garden.
This is your sacred Virgo garden.
It is a sanctuary of order and grace.
The air is fresh and scented with herbs like lavender and rosemary.
Paths wind through neat rows of plants and flowers,
Each cared for by the garden.
Each flower is cared for with gentle devotion.
Notice the rich,
Fertile soil beneath your feet.
Soft and warm with the glow of the new moon's light.
Walk to the center of this garden.
Here you find a small patch.
A freshly turned earth.
Here is where you will plant your sacred seeds.
Intentions you wish to nurture through this lunar cycle.
Take a moment to feel into your heart and mind.
What are the intentions or habits that support your highest well-being?
What practical,
Soulful changes do you wish to bring forth?
When you are ready,
Pick up a seed from a small bowl nearby.
Hold the seed in your hand.
Infuse it with an image,
A feeling,
Or a word that represents your first intention.
Visualize this seed glowing with energy and potential.
Plant this seed gently in the soil.
Pause for a moment and sense it setting into the earth,
Ready to grow.
When you feel ready,
Pick up the second seed.
Again,
Hold it,
Breathe into it,
And infuse it with your second intention.
Plant this seed beside the first.
And pause again,
Feeling the energy between the two seeds.
If you have a third intention,
Repeat this process.
Otherwise,
Rest here with your planted seeds.
Bathed in the moonlight and the earth's warmth.
Sit with these intentions,
Feeling gratitude for their presence and trust in their unfolding.
Now,
Look up at the sky above your sacred Virgo garden.
The new moon's soft greenish light pours down,
Feeding the soil and your seeds.
Feel this nourishing lunar light flow into your entire being.
It moves through your crown,
Filling you with gentle clarity,
Discernment,
And healing.
It settles into your heart,
Igniting devotion to your path.
It anchors into your solar plexus,
Inspiring gentle discipline and purposeful action.
Silently or aloud,
Repeat these mantras,
Feeling their power deepen with each breath.
I plant only what serves my highest good.
My daily actions align with my soul's vision.
I nurture what I grow with patience and love.
Breathe deeply,
Soaking in this sacred energy.
Begin to feel your awareness returning to your physical body.
Notice the points of contact with your seat and the floor.
Feel the support beneath you.
Bring gentle movement into your fingers and toes,
Wiggling them softly.
Take a slow,
Grounding breath,
Feeling calm,
Clear,
And ready to move forward with your intentions.
When you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Take a moment now for gratitude for yourself,
This practice,
And the new moon's gifts.
Thank you so much for joining today.
I invite you to come back to this three days before and three days after the peak of the new moon,
So that you can embrace all of its powerful energy.
Happy new moon.
Namaste.
