This meditation invites you to call upon the new moon as your celestial guide for connecting with your inner strength during a period of stillness and self-reflection.
Allow the new moon to amplify you in sowing seeds for fresh starts as you attune to its energy.
Begin in a position that is comfortable for you.
This can be sitting or lying down.
As you come into your sacred space,
Do so in a way that allows you to feel yourself rooting into the earth and drawing in energy from the core of the earth.
If you wish,
You may close the eyes.
Take a deep breath and release it slowly.
As you do so,
Shift the awareness from the previous events and experiences of your day,
Allowing yourself to be fully present,
Allowing yourself to simply be in this moment.
Take another deep breath and release it slowly.
Allow the neck and shoulders to relax completely.
Allow the muscles and jaw to soften.
Bring your awareness to the breath.
Be aware of the natural flow of the breath without altering it.
Know that you are in a sacred space.
You are at peace here.
You are welcome here.
You belong here.
With the awareness still on the breath,
We now attune to the new moon and spirit.
To the new moon,
We call out.
All hail the Lady of Darkness,
Crone Mother,
Ancient One.
You are the source of wisdom,
Our Teacher.
Even in the darkness,
You are guiding and nurturing us with your strength and love.
To you,
I release that which no longer serves me.
Guide me as I move away from those negative energies to walk in love and light.
Call upon your personal connection to divine energy now,
Knowing that you will be guided and guarded as you journey into this meditative working.
The new moon is a time of stillness.
It is a time of going within,
Planting seeds,
And new beginnings.
Although the moon is not visible in the sky at this time,
It is still present.
We can still see,
Sense,
And feel its power.
We draw upon this power now as we go within ourselves for inner work to strengthen us as we lay our foundation for fresh starts.
Let us invite this power into ourselves now as we till fertile soil to plant seeds for new beginnings.
Breathe the energy of the new moon into your center of self-esteem and personal power,
Your solar plexus chakra.
As you do so,
See in your mind's eye a brilliant gold light glowing at your solar plexus,
Just below your heart.
The energy of this light fills your mind,
Body,
And spirit with strength and blessings.
As you absorb this energy and power,
Do so with the realization that new beginnings,
As well as all journeys,
Should not be rushed.
I am no longer what I once was.
I am not yet that which I will become.
I am the now.
As we learn from the past and anticipate the future,
We are wise to always value the present.
I am no longer that which I was.
I am not yet that which I will become.
All three of these things offer us blessings.
One is not greater than another.
All of them contain magic.
I am no longer that which I once was.
I am not yet that which I will become.
I am the now.
Begin to bring the awareness back to the present.
Bring awareness to the breath,
Then slowly to any sensations around you.
Begin to invite subtle movements into the hands and feet,
The fingers and toes.
Take another deep breath and release it slowly.
Believe in yourself.
Forgive yourself.
Empower yourself.
Love yourself.
The crow flies from me to thee to send the message,
Blessed be.
