Welcome,
Beloved soul.
As we gather under the October full moon,
Let us honor this moment as sacred.
The October moon,
Often called the hunter's moon,
Rises with boldness and clarity.
It reminds us of the cycles of harvest and release.
The balance between holding on and letting go.
This meditation is infused with Reiki healing energy.
If you are open to receive this energy,
Simply accept in your mind's eye.
Take a moment to settle into your space.
Perhaps light a candle,
Place a crystal nearby,
Or simply allow yourself to arrive fully.
When you're ready,
Close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in through the nose.
Hold for a count of three.
Exhale gently through the mouth.
Do this two more times.
With each inhale,
Imagine drawing in peace and clarity.
With each exhale,
Imagine letting go of tension and distraction.
This is your time and your sacred space.
And while you arrive,
Allow me a moment to connect.
Bring awareness to your body.
Notice the way the earth supports you beneath your seat or your back.
Allow yourself to feel safe,
Rooted,
And steady.
Imagine now that from the base of your spine and the soles of your feet,
Roots begin to grow.
These roots reach down through the floor,
The soil,
The rock,
Deeper and deeper until they reach the very heart of the earth.
With each breath,
Feel energy rising up from the earth,
Grounding and nourishing you.
You are anchored,
Connected,
Held by the steady embrace of Mother Earth.
Now,
Shift your attention upward.
Visualize the October full moon glowing brightly in the night sky.
Notice her light,
Bold,
Silver radiant,
Illuminating everything around her.
See this moonlight pouring down,
Streaming into the crown of your head,
Flowing into your heart,
Your belly,
Your entire body.
With every inhale,
Breathe in this cleansing lunar energy.
With every exhale,
Let it wash away the heaviness,
The stress,
The outdated stories.
You are standing between the earth and moon,
Balancing between grounding and illumination.
The full moon is a mirror.
She reveals what has been hidden and magnifies what needs to be seen.
She asks,
What are you holding onto that feels heavy?
What cycles or patterns are you ready to break?
What fears,
Doubts,
Or old beliefs no longer serve you?
Take your time.
Breathe deeply and allow images,
Words,
Or sensations to rise.
No judgment.
Simply notice.
Now,
Imagine gathering all this energy,
The heaviness,
The old patterns,
The stagnant feelings,
And holding it in your hands.
It appears as a mist,
Hovering within your hands.
Feel the weight of it.
Acknowledge it with compassion.
When you're ready,
Watch this mist evaporate.
It's rising up to the light of the moon.
And as it does,
The weight is gone,
Dissolved into that brilliant light.
Trust that what you have released is being transformed,
Transmuted,
Returned to the universe for healing.
Notice how much lighter you feel.
Now that you've cleared space,
The moon invites you to call in something new.
What energy do you want to welcome into this next season of your life?
What qualities do you want to embody?
What seeds are you ready to plant now,
Knowing they will bloom in divine timing?
Allow words,
Phrases,
Symbols to come to you.
See what you can do.
See it clearly in your mind's eye,
Allowing it to glow brightly as though the moon herself is imprinting on your heart.
Feel this attention expanding within you,
Filling your whole being with possibility.
Breathe it in deeply,
And on each exhale,
Let it ripple outward into the world.
I invite you to place your hands on your heart now.
Feel the steady beat beneath your palms,
Your inner drum,
Your reminder that life flows in cycles,
Just like the moon.
Silently,
Repeat this mantra with me.
I release.
I release with gratitude.
I renew with love.
I rise with light.
Stay here for a few breaths,
Simply resting in the fullness of your own being,
In the spaciousness you've created.
Slowly begin to bring awareness back to your body.
Notice your breath,
Your heartbeat,
The surface beneath you.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
And gently roll your shoulders.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes,
Carrying with you the clarity of release and the glow of renewal.
Remember,
The moon will always return to remind you of your own cycles,
Your own rhythms,
And your own light.
Go forward with grace,
Love,
And trust.
I leave you today with this mantra for this full moon.
I release what no longer serves me,
And I welcome in clarity,
Renewal,
And light.
Thank you so much for joining me today for this full moon meditation.
I always encourage you to come back to this three days before and three days after the peak of the full moon to maximize the energies that she gives us.
Namaste.
