Activating Leo Energy

We are naturally inward-oriented beings that can sense deeply into Life, but the way that society conditions us organizes our energy to be outward-oriented, constantly searching for something else to give us the experience our soul craves. Taken from one of Elliott's New Moon Ceremonies, this guided meditation aligns you with deep reflection, powerful solar energy, & conscious new beginnings. Accompanied by plant music, crystal singing bowls, & chimes. An ending bell is included.

Transcript

Let's just drop into what's going on right now.

Feeling the contact of our body with the structure beneath us.

It could be the earth,

It could be a seat,

Could be something in the home.

Just picking up on that sense of support from underneath.

You can close down the eyes just for a little while and start to allow our awareness to turn inward.

Feeling the inward nature of life.

We can still receive stimulus from the outside world but we are ultimately inward oriented beings.

Inward oriented beings that can sense very deeply into life.

Taking a few deep breaths and on the exhalations let out a sigh.

Just allowing the body to get in a little bit deeper into this spot.

Through the nose,

Out through the mouth,

Letting out some energy through the mouth.

Feeling that support beneath us creating this position of stability.

Whether we're on the floor or on a seat or a bed.

Try to maintain a comfortable upright spine and if you need to lie down at any time you're more than welcome to.

Feeling into this moment there is a certain quality of awareness.

Can you bring your attention to just one thing for the next few moments?

Whether it's the feeling of support beneath the contact of your body with the surface or the sensation of breathing.

Inhale,

Exhale like the waves of the ocean or is it the sensation of the air on the nostrils?

Cool on the inhalation.

It could just be the sound,

The sounds that come in and out.

See if you can just bring your attention into one space and allow that space to expand.

Allow yourself to become a little bit more comfortable even if it's just a few movements or a big deep breath in and letting it out.

Just feeling your body reflecting the level of relaxation and awareness.

The new moon in Leo has the strong pull towards being mindful of the stuff that is getting in the way.

Leo encourages you to live your life and fulfill your heart's desires.

The Bidra mantra of the solar plexus is Ram.

The sound Ram.

Ram revs us up.

It gets us in touch with why we're here,

With our purpose,

With our ability to follow our dreams and experience life and all of its magic.

The new moon is naturally a time for new beginnings,

Setting intentions and planting the seeds that you want to create in your life for the following lunar cycle.

Use the Amavasya reflections to get clear on what you want to see blossom in your life and see how to get there.

The clarity of the night sky during the new moon allows us an opportunity to reflect deeply within,

Getting super aligned within ourselves,

To receive,

To have the insight within ourselves,

To connect with that,

To know it,

To form and nourish a relationship with your own inner wisdom.

It's celebrated during the new moon and conscious new beginnings combined with charged intentions is what transforms life.

This is the ideal new moon for you if you feel called to step into a new way of being.

If you are aspiring to break out of an old pattern,

If you are passionate about things that excite you and make you feel with life passionate,

Then this new moon is going to allow you to capture that energy of the sun for the energy,

Light,

And healing that's needed.

Leo is always going to want for you to display all of your gifts without dimming your shine.

This is about being you to the bone.

Whatever excuses that you have given yourself in the past,

They're just not welcomed here in Leo's presence.

Leo roars and demands presence.

So this is a time to be brutally honest.

Leo calls you into putting down any doubt,

Hesitation,

So that your roar can be with all of your power.

Your life is a precious gift to be lived,

Loved,

Explored,

And experienced.

I want you now to place your right hand on your heart and your left hand on your solar plexus,

Which is where the energy of this moon sits,

Right beneath the middle of the ribcage.

So just underneath,

Right in the middle.

And here is where our solar energy moves through the body.

As you breathe,

I want you to feel your heart open up on the inhalation.

I want you to feel the warmth in your solar plexus and release.

Feel the heart and the solar plexus open up as you breathe in,

Release.

In through the nose,

Out through the nose.

Just feeling into that space of your body where we create and connect with the solar energy.

This heart that you feel,

It beats for you every moment,

Always working for you.

Take the next few moments to send some gratitude to this powerful,

Incredibly powerful area of the body and all that it does for us to be alive.

The heart of a lion needs to embrace and shine inner light for it to be recognized amongst the darkness.

For the inner light to shine brightly.

The past cannot dictate how we live in the present moment.

The memory must not limit what we can achieve.

The darkness must not overcome the light within us.

Leo rules the heart and calls for you to bravely face all that remains unhealed,

Concealed,

Or avoided.

Consequently,

This new moon is highly valuable for healing old heartache,

And anything that has been held onto from the past that is dimming your shine or holding you back or keeping you small.

Feel this space in your body full of warmth and love.

Feel the warmth of the love spreading through your whole body.

The gratitude in your breath,

The gratitude in your blood,

The gratitude in the electricity of each cell in your body.

You come alive with gratitude.

For our heart to be expressed and felt,

We can instantly feel more alive,

Like a burst of energy that comes from being clear with what you want to do with your limited time and energy.

The Leo new moon is going to help you get in touch with aliveness.

Do you feel the emphasis on the energy of sun?

We are in lion's portal and there's a lot of solar flare coming into our path.

The energy of the sun is being enhanced right now in many ways.

There's more wildfires than ever before.

There's more land drying up than ever before.

There's more imbalances in nature during this time.

And so it becomes important for us to be able to activate this energy and to be able to express this energy within ourselves as the basis of us connecting with nature,

Which we are.

Leo is here to remind you of your courage your strength and your purpose.

We're going to clear our energy now with a breathing practice.

You can place your hands now back to your side on your thighs on your lap with the hands face up and your neck relaxed,

Slightly tilted up,

Eyes closed,

Mouth closed.

We're going to take three inhalations in to the nose and then one release out to the mouth.

The three inhalations in are quite short,

Rapid,

And you could say sharp.

And each one of those inhalations is filling up a different compartment of your breathing apparatus.

The first inhale,

Your tummy opens up,

Your belly expands,

Your diaphragm opens to be able to take in this air deep within you.

The second inhalation is through the chest,

Opening up the whole lungs.

The third inhalation is opening up the top of the lungs and the larynx,

The throat,

And having a full inhalation after three sharp ones and really feeling that fullness within the body,

Feeling that brightness,

That full capacity,

The feeling of full capacity of air you're charging.

And on the exhalation,

Letting it out,

Letting that outward motion to be extended,

Full,

Complete.

Really feel it empty.

See how empty you can get your belly and lungs and entire respiratory system towards the end of that,

A full exhalation.

Let's begin.

When you're ready,

You can join in and just feel this cleansing breath work its magic throughout your whole body,

Allowing that breath to cleanse the entire body,

Keeping your breath under your control,

But relaxed and full,

Feeling the different compartments filling up separately,

Middle chest,

Upper chest,

Throat,

Middle chest,

Upper chest,

Throat.

As you continue to breathe,

Allow your breath to return to a natural rhythm.

Feel the breath return,

Noticing the difference of awareness,

How alive are your senses now?
