The rare occurrence of two new moons in Virgo,
Including a partial solar eclipse,
Intensifies the energy all around us,
Which means this is the ideal time to release fears,
Perfectionism,
And overthinking the details that need to control every aspect of life.
Something we could all use more of.
So tonight,
We energy cleanse.
To reset and to release.
Welcome to Coached by Nikki Dyer.
So we begin this practice here by closing down the eyes if they aren't already.
Feel your energy connecting with the energy of the new moon.
Digging a collective deep breath in through the nose.
Filling your lungs completely.
And exhale slowly through the mouth.
Noticing how the element of gravity holds you here.
So much like deep roots do for a strong tree.
They root you into the present.
Feel the satisfaction of a full belly as you breathe in.
Releasing tension as you exhale.
Letting the breath find a gentle natural rhythm of its own.
As you use your mind to visualize roots beginning to grow from you.
Seeing them extend from the base of your spine or maybe the soles of your feet.
Reaching deep into the earth below you.
Feel how these roots anchor and ground.
Providing stability and strength the deeper they go.
Feeling the way the earth's energy rises through these roots.
Moving upward and flooding you with a sense of support and safety.
With each inhale,
Imagine your mind drawing in these revitalizing nutrients.
Peace,
Acceptance,
Trust,
Relief,
Freedom,
And strength.
Feeling each one flow into your body.
Being pumped through you with every beat of your heart.
Slowly transforming and intertwining into vibrant life-giving threads.
Releasing any holding tension that remains in you.
Perhaps in your shoulders or your jaw.
Feel a wave of nourishment covering you completely,
From the tips of your toes,
Past your crown.
How these nutrients loosen the need for control and dissolve any present fears,
Doubts,
Or worries you've been feeling lately.
Working through you like untangling a knotted necklace or string.
Flowing gently and patiently,
Up and around and through each knot,
With every exhale you take.
Your body is filled with nourishment,
From the earth,
From the moon,
And from the powerful magic that comes with an eclipse.
The moon is whispering softly,
Urging you to release your grip.
Will you let go,
Or will you be dragged?
So,
I hope you choose tonight to celebrate the release.
To loosen your grip.
And to let go.
To trust that there is something greater than your efforts there,
Already waiting to catch you.
Take a final deep breath in.
And a balancing breath out.
Beginning to welcome your mind back into your body.
Remembering where you were just before we began.
Taking a moment here to notice how grounded you feel.
In the present moment.
In your own roots.
And when you feel ready,
Open your eyes.
