Welcome,
Beautiful soul.
Tonight we gather under the October new moon,
A time of quiet,
Darkness,
And new beginnings.
The new moon is like a blank canvas in the sky,
Inviting us to pause,
To reset,
And to plant the seeds of what we wish to grow in the coming weeks and months.
This is your time to step inward,
To listen to your heart,
And to honor the fresh start this moon brings.
I invite you to find a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down,
And gently close your eyes.
Take a deep,
Slow breath in through the nose,
And exhale fully through the mouth.
Again,
Inhale peace.
Exhale release.
With each breath,
Feel your body soften,
Allowing your shoulders to drop,
Your jaw to relax,
Your mind to grow quiet.
Now,
Imagine those roots extending from the base of the spine and the soles of the feet into the earth.
Feel yourself anchored,
Steady,
And supported.
Draw your attention upward now.
Imagine the night sky above you,
Vast,
Still,
And dark.
In this darkness,
The new moon rests,
Invisible to the eye,
But powerful in her presence.
Feel her energy wrapping around you like a soft blanket,
Inviting stillness,
Reflection,
And renewal.
Breathe this energy in.
With each inhale,
Imagine drawing in possibility,
Potential,
And clarity.
With each exhale,
Release old energy,
Old cycles,
And anything that no longer serves.
The new moon is fertile ground for intention.
It is the soil in which your dreams can take root.
So I invite you to take a few moments now to reflect.
What is it you want to begin?
What do you wish to call into your life?
What seeds are you ready to plant in this new cycle?
Trust the answers that arise.
They may be words,
Images,
Or simple feelings.
Now imagine yourself holding small growing seeds in your hand.
Each one represents an intention,
A dream,
Or a desire.
Visualize yourself gently planting these seeds into rich,
Dark soil beneath new moon.
Cover them with earth.
Place your hand on the ground and whisper your intentions into the soil.
Feel the energy of the moon and the earth working together to nurture and support your seeds even though you can't yet see them sprouting.
Take a deep breath in,
Feeling gratitude for the intentions you've planted tonight.
Trust that they are already taking root,
Growing quietly beneath the surface until the right time to bloom.
Place your hands over your heart and silently repeat,
I plant my intentions with love.
I trust the cycle of the moon to guide their growth.
When you're ready,
Gently bring your awareness back to your body.
Wiggle your fingers and toes,
Roll your shoulders,
And when it feels right,
Open your eyes.
Carry with you the energy of fresh beginnings.
And I leave you today with a mantra for this October new moon.
I plant the seeds of my intentions and trust them to grow in divine timing.
Thank you so much for joining me today.
I always encourage you to come back to this meditation three days before and three days after the peak of the new moon just to maximize that energy and really securely plant those intentions for their growth.
Namaste.
