Full Moon Meditation - 5-Minute Version

Hello and welcome.

I'm Kasiya Gibbons.

I'm a meditation teacher here on Insight Timer.

And today I'll be leading you in a practice to connect to the energies of the full moon.

So as ever,

Find a comfortable seat and posture to practice in and allow yourself to become present.

So there may be sounds going on around you,

Close by or far away,

And they may continue throughout the practice.

So just allow them to pass by without paying them too much attention.

And the same may be true for thoughts.

They may be present and may even continue throughout the practice.

But just allow them to be without being the main focus of your attention.

And become aware of your posture,

Aware of your body,

Aware of your breath.

And if you can see the full moon from where you are,

You might want to gaze upon it.

And if the moon is not visible to you,

You can if you wish hold it in your inner vision.

Imagining the face of the moon.

Or even just finding a sense of the bright,

Shining energy of the moon.

How that might feel.

How that might sound.

And then return to your breathing.

Return to your body.

And imagine that you are opening at the crown.

And that you're receiving moonlight.

That bright moon energy in through your crown.

And feel it wash down your body,

Filling you up with bright moon energy.

Allow the moonlight to fill your whole body.

And as it reaches the lower parts of your body,

Allow it to flow back out again,

Into the ground.

Always full of moonlight as the flow continues to enter you.

Filling you with bright moon energy.

Filling away anything that no longer serves you.

And then flowing down into the earth.

And just allow that to continue for a little while.

And to close the practice,

Release any visualisation you have had.

Inviting the moon energy that you've filled yourself with to stay.

And once again,

Come back to your breathing and your body.

Becoming aware of any sounds around you.

Any sensations or emotions.

And when you're ready,

You can open your eyes and come back to the room.

Thank you for sharing this practice with me today.
