The moon can only fill up once it becomes empty,
And it can only shine in all its glory once it's gone through its darkest expression.
It doesn't berate its darkness or wish for it to be any other way.
Welcome to Coached by Nikki Dyer.
I welcome you to settle into your surroundings,
Wherever you are,
As your mind begins to focus on the quiet music in the background,
Feeling the way your belly contracts on each exhale.
Noticing how it rises and fills with life on the inhale,
Feeling centered and grounded as you soak in the energy of the full moon in Taurus all around you,
Fully experiencing what it's like to have your body breathe for you,
Feeling the mind and body continue to relax a little deeper still.
The full moon in Taurus signifies a pivotal moment of personal transformation.
It's one of those unwavering times in life where your progress becomes abundantly clear.
Transformation is one of the most powerful ways to create space and energy,
And you have certainly been transforming,
Haven't you?
The grounded energy of the full moon in Taurus offers us a unique moment of transparency and clarity,
Allowing you to so clearly see what in your life is sustainable and what has got to change.
Take a deep breath in here,
And release as you let the air go.
Together we take a deliberate pause to simply notice the big and small ways in which you and your life have transformed over this lunar cycle,
Or maybe even over the entire last year.
Inhale deeply,
Recognizing just how much you have done,
All the beautiful ways you have grown and changed,
Feeling everything you have let go of.
The metamorphic transformation of who you are.
Big change over time is from small changes every day.
The moon can only fill up once it becomes empty,
And it can only shine in all its glory once it's gone through its darkest expression.
It doesn't berate its darkness,
Or wish for it to be any other way.
Taking a final deep breath in here,
And release.
I encourage you to use the remaining rest of the year to focus on your inner growth,
To reflect on where you once were,
And to honor exactly where you are today,
Beginning to welcome any stretches or movements that feel right for you.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes and return to the space around you.
