Ode to the Moon.
This simple meditation is an offering for our Earth's closest heavenly companion,
The mysterious being who weaves her path in spirals through our night skies,
Flooding them with dynamic,
Reflective light.
She orchestrates all of life on our planet and within our souls.
Mysterious,
Beautiful,
Magnetic,
Luna.
Sit at the centre of your sacred circle,
Allow your body to fill the Earth beneath you and raise your posture to the sky.
Stream your breath.
Settle your body.
Soften your mind.
In your mind's eye,
Allow her image to arrive to you in whichever phase of her cycle presents.
Invite her to substantiate in your mind.
As you breathe,
Feel her presence grow within your inner landscape,
Your own inner sky.
Flooding your mind,
Heart,
Blood and bone with her silvery light.
As her presence grows within your awareness,
See her start to spiral in her ancient dance with the Earth,
With the human race and story,
With you.
Synchronise your breathing pattern with her dance,
Spiralling,
Looping,
Rising and diminishing,
A continuous circular breath.
Luna,
Oh wondrous queen of the night,
Cloaked in silvery light.
I seek your presence and your mysteries.
Luna,
Mistress of cycle and season,
Spiral and circle.
Attune me to the flow of my own seasons and cycles.
Luna,
Lady of the botanical realm,
Your silvery light drips from leaf tip soaking soil.
At your command,
Seeds release,
Soft green root emerges,
And buds bloom in the quiet hours when the world sleeps.
Flooding our dreams with your perfume,
How powerful you are.
Luna,
Seducer of poets and lovers,
Woven through myth and mind into memory.
Arresting us with your beauty,
Making us mad with lust and longing.
Luna,
Oh wondrous queen of the night,
Cloaked in silvery light.
Bathe me with your presence and your mysteries.
Luna,
Three-faced goddess,
Maiden,
Mother and mage,
Past,
Present and future.
Who we were,
Who we are,
Who we become.
You remind us of renewal and regeneration.
Luna,
Queen of the seas,
Lakes,
Streams and rains.
May we hear your whispers upon our inner oceans.
May we move with the tidal flows of our lives.
Luna,
Magnetic mage,
Drawing the great migrations of birds and beasts,
Of the land,
The seas and the air.
Magnetize me,
Turn your current towards me,
That I may learn your magnetic ways and draw into my life my highest experiences.
Luna,
Oh wondrous queen of the night,
Cloaked in silvery light.
Bathe me with your presence and your mysteries.
Luna,
Lamp-bearer,
Lighting the way when all seems lost and blind.
Illuminate my pathways,
Even on my darkest journeys.
Luna,
Silent sovereign,
When the raucous day expires,
You rise in elegance and silent grace.
Bat,
Moth and owl silently sing to your reign.
Luna,
Dark goddess,
Even you retreat from our hearts in your eternal cycle.
Showing us that the dark womb is our genesis and our home.
Luna,
Oh wondrous queen of the night,
Cloaked in silvery light.
Bathe me with your presence and your mysteries.
