Welcome to this New Moon meditation.
We are entering into the New Moon in Libra.
At this time we are encouraged to set an intention or to get clear on the path that we wish to lay ahead of ourselves or the way in which we will approach the path we are destined to walk.
During this phase of the Moon cycle the sun's light is not reflected and so it is a time to turn inward.
You may even notice that your energy or your emotions are rising or falling.
You may experience certain patterns that occur around the New Moon phase each month.
We are at the beginning of a cycle,
The New Lunar cycle.
Over time the light will begin to grow and disseminate.
Here you are at this point in time,
A new beginning and you are welcome to listen to this meditation on any day we wish to start afresh and set a clear intention.
It is auspicious to set intentions within the three days around the New Moon and you may wish to do so according to the theme of Libra.
Before we get into the qualities of Libra just find yourself in a comfortable position.
You might like to be rested,
Laying down or perhaps you prefer to be seated.
Just adjusting your body so that the spine is nice and long and you feel supported.
Softening around your shoulders and perhaps the eyelids just gently close down.
Unhinge the jaw and as you do so unhinge yourself from the past and hinge yourself from the future.
For the next few moments simply land your awareness on your breath.
Just noticing the simplicity in the inhale and the exhale.
Just let the breath oxygenate every cell in your body effortlessly.
You can always work with the breath to release any excess stress from the body and mind.
Gently give yourself permission here to completely relax the body,
Completely relax the mind.
Breathing more and more in the present moment with every breath.
Perhaps for the next few breaths release the exhale out the mouth.
So we come to Libra,
The sign of relationships the sign of attraction,
Connection and harmony.
In the Libra season we are called to understand the other and to understand our own identity within relationship.
This can span across many kinds of relationships but perhaps there are significant bonds that come to mind.
Perhaps you can cultivate a little more sweetness or a little more love or simply a sense of harmony and balance.
The sign of Libra is ruled by the planet Venus.
Venus is all about attraction,
Values,
Magnetism.
So if any of these concepts are resonating you may use them to set your new moon intention.
Perhaps you allow that intention to bubble up now or trust something will arise later on.
Getting yourself land into your heart space.
Commit to yourself in your own value.
Doing that through practices like meditation or simply noticing the body or the breath.
You begin to cultivate this connection with self.
And that connection with self is exactly what will expand into deeper connection within relationship.
As you breathe continue to notice the full expanse of your inhale and the softening that occurs as you exhale.
You are seeing if you can even out the distribution of breath.
Perhaps counting the length of your inhale and matching your breath.
Sensitizing yourself to the breath as it moves through the body.
You slide your awareness through the entire right side of your body.
Through the right side of the torso,
The right side of the neck,
The head and the face.
Flooding your awareness through these spaces.
Letting that side go bring your awareness to the left side of the body.
Flooding your awareness through the left side of the body.
Through the left limbs,
The left side of the torso,
The left side of the neck,
The head and the face.
And then notice where these two sides meet.
Where they are in relationship.
And flood your awareness at the very centre of your chest.
Heart space.
From your heart space expand your awareness through the entire body and beyond.
Perhaps noticing this awareness expands beyond your skin.
Out in all directions.
Maybe getting a sense for how far this energetic field expands.
And you might infuse this field of energy with a colour.
A colour that represents value to you.
Letting your body be encompassed by this valuable colour.
As you start to feel your own sense of value strengthening.
Charging you with attractive quality.
Bringing your awareness to those inner spaces that are so pure and beautiful.
Your magnetic traits.
Feel these traits,
Qualities and colours completely surrounding and flooding through your body.
Noticing that you can carry this energy out with you into your daily life.
Into your interaction and relationships.
Knowing the most important relationship you have is with yourself.
If any intention or words arise here,
Perhaps images,
Trust,
Whatever is showing up can guide you through this labour season and beyond.
Denying to sense the breath and the softness and sweetness in the body.
Meditating in this space as long as it serves you.
Namaste.
