Welcome.
This is your moonlit hug.
A space where you can let go of what you're holding and let the moon hold you instead.
So take a moment now to settle in.
Whether you are lying down or seated,
Allow your body to soften.
Let your hands rest gently,
Your shoulders release,
And your breath begin to slow.
Take a long,
Nourishing breath in,
And then let it go with a sigh.
One more time,
Inhale ease,
Exhale everything you don't need to carry right now.
And as your body begins to relax,
Let your mind drift.
Picture yourself sat at the edge of a wide,
Still lake.
It's night time.
The sky is deep indigo,
Scatters with stars and soft wisps of cloud drifting lazily past.
In the distance,
Two gentle hills rise on either side of the lake,
Forming a perfect V,
Like arms reaching out to cradle the horizon.
And in the center of this quiet cradle rests the moon,
Full,
Round,
Glowing.
A silver light spills across the surface of the lake in a shimmering,
Luminous path that leads all the way to you.
The world is silent,
Still,
Soft.
You are safe here.
As you gaze at the reflection on the water,
The moonlight seems to shimmer with gentle movement,
As if it's breathing.
With each inhale,
You draw in a little of the silver light,
And with each exhale,
Something within you begins to loosen.
You see the moonlight rising slowly from the lake,
Like a glowing mist.
It begins to move toward you,
Curling around your shoulders,
Across your chest,
And gently around your heart.
It feels like a hug from someone who understands.
The kind of embrace that asks nothing of you,
That simply says,
You are safe.
You are held.
You are allowed to rest.
And as the light seeps gently into your skin,
Into your bones,
Your whole being begins to soften.
If it feels like you're carrying something that doesn't serve you,
Tension,
Sadness,
Fatigue,
Or emotions without names,
Let them rise gently now.
You don't need to explain them.
You don't need to fix them.
Just allow them to surface and be held.
The moon understands your tides.
She knows your phases.
Just like her,
You wax and wane,
Yet remain whole.
Let this moonlight hug hold every part of you.
The tiredness,
The longing,
The hope,
The healing.
There's nothing wrong with where you are,
And there's nothing wrong with what you're experiencing.
Hold space for those feelings,
Those emotions.
Honor them.
Welcome them all in equally.
Now feel the moonlight settling deeper into your belly,
Behind your eyes,
And down your arms.
It fills you like warm water in a quiet bath,
Comforting,
Calming,
Effortless.
Let it soothe the places that feel sore.
Let it refill the spaces where you've been giving too much.
Let it remind you,
You are not broken,
You're simply becoming.
With every gentle breath,
You are being restored and replenished,
Balanced.
The moonlight now begins to soften and retreat,
Still around you but quieter now.
Like a blanket being gently tucked in.
It leaves a shimmer behind your chest,
Like a little pearl of calm,
A reminder you can return to it at any stage.
The lake is still again.
The moon glows above,
Framed by the V of the hills.
And you,
You are wrapped in the gentle truth that you are enough,
Just as you are.
You are held,
You are seen,
And you are deeply loved.
Begin to return gently to your body now.
Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes,
And take a soft breath in,
And a gentle breath out.
Perhaps roll your shoulders softly,
Or smile to yourself.
And when you're ready,
Gently start to flicker your eyes open.
And carry this moonlight hug with you,
Wherever you may go today.
Namaste
