We are always co-creating our reality,
But the new moon is an especially powerful time to co-create with the universe.
The new moon represents a new beginning,
A fresh start,
Time to turn inward and connect deeply with source,
Whatever that is for you.
So gently settle into a comfortable seat and gently close your eyes.
Feel your sit bones rooted into the earth as you rise up through the crown of your head,
Creating length through your waist.
And take a deep breath in to sigh it out.
Embrace anything here that is not present in this very moment.
As you close your eyes,
Embrace this darkness.
Begin to embrace the stillness of your body,
Of this new moon energy as a time of rest,
Reflection and a time to reset.
Take another deep breath in through your nose and an exhale out the mouth.
Is there anything else at all that you can let go of in this moment that you can release on your exhale as we move across this threshold?
Now is the time.
So begin to deepen and lengthen your breaths.
Just bring your attention to your breath.
Bring all of your awareness to every inhale and every exhale.
The new moon,
A time of darkness,
Might bring some sense of uncertainty.
So rather than letting that scare you,
Let yourself feel excited about the abundance of possibilities in front of you.
Or maybe just curious about the possibilities that lie ahead.
Breathing in and out through your nose now.
Feeling into the sensations of your breath,
Into the sensations of your body.
Just feeling what it's like to be still,
To be in the dark with your eyes closed.
You are more powerful than you know.
Your thoughts and intentions become your beliefs and your actions.
How you feel inside becomes the energy that emanates from you wherever you go,
Whose ever path you cross.
It gets infused into whatever you do.
Therefore,
Your intentions and the energy that you cultivate in this space,
In this meditation has an impact.
Let's make sure that the ripple we are sending out into the world is a conscious one.
Staying with yourself,
With your breath,
Staying in the truth of this present moment.
Breathing in and breathing out.
So with this new moon energy,
What is it that wants to be born?
What is it that wants to be born from you,
That you want to create or give birth to?
Rather than thinking about it and trying to figure it out using your head,
Your brain,
Just notice what arises naturally in your heart.
What do you want to create?
What do you want to manifest?
Notice what arises.
Maybe it's a word that comes to mind.
Maybe it's a specific goal.
Maybe it's a visual that appears,
An image.
When you get more clear on what that is,
Really see it in your mind's eye,
Maybe it is simply a feeling that you want to invite more of that feeling in.
When I ask the question,
Just notice what comes up.
As you breathe in,
As you breathe out,
What do you want to cultivate with this new moon?
And on your exhalations,
Sending these intentions,
Sending this energy out into the universe,
Giving up just a little bit of your control to let the universe help you and support your wishes,
Support these dreams.
It doesn't mean that we don't take action.
It just means that we surrender a little bit more than we're used to as analytical thinking humans.
We simply plant our intentions deep within,
Make the intention to take the right actions,
The right steps in our life.
And we declare our intentions to the universe,
To the forces that are bigger than ourselves.
We just give a little trust.
Deep breath in one more time to lock in that intention.
All the way down deep into the belly,
Plant it there.
And then exhale,
Giving up that energy,
That control to the universe,
Sending it out.
Namaste.
