Welcome along to the New Moon and Virgo meditation.
This meditation is all about calling in an intention that will allow your day to day life to flow with a little more ease and perhaps a little more purpose.
Virgo is associated with routines and day to day interactions and activities that we all engage with.
It's an earth sign so there is a grounded aspect to Virgo yet it's also an intellectual sign there is a lot of malleability and quick thinking involved with Virgo.
So you might be engaged this season with organizing something within your life whether it is your home space,
Your work life,
Your thought processes or emotions.
Everything is being transformed and organized for the greater good and you have this opportunity here to really access that software,
That inside mind that can assist you in this transformation.
And because Virgo loves the details I will be a little more detailed as we engage with the body and with the breath.
And if you wish to hear you might like to close the eyelids or find a position that allows your spine to be long whether you are laying down or seated.
Assuring a level of comfort will be greatly beneficial.
So start to notice the grounded sensations you experience in different parts of your body.
If you are laying down it may be the whole back side of the body is feeling a little more anchored or stable.
Maybe you are seated and this essence of grounding is experienced in the legs,
In the sacrum,
The sitting bones,
Around these lower parts of your body.
Just tune into this level of being grounded,
Being in some way anchored to the earth.
And experience a level of trust that through all transformation you are constantly supported and held.
It may be as simple as noticing and breathing into the support that exists physically beneath you that can remind you of this level of support that is always there.
So as Virgo loves the details and loves to understand the structure and container within which it exists it seems a beautiful opportunity to meditate on the chakra system which you may have heard of or be quite familiar with or perhaps it's completely new.
Regardless anyone can work with this system.
It is an energetic system that integrates mind and body,
Consciousness and physical matter.
And so you have this body,
This hard structure and you can notice it now,
The muscles,
The bones,
The blood.
This is your physical earth suit.
You can also notice you have consciousness which exists like the software.
It is able to move about quickly and shift from past to present to future and perhaps into different dimensions.
Energy is essentially the power that connects mind and body and it is the power switch that will allow the hardware and software to work in harmony.
So we want this power,
This energy to be flowing in a smooth cohesive manner.
And this chakra system essentially provides a structure or a map for this energy to flow.
You may notice as you deepen your breath that you can begin to shift the flow of energy.
Perhaps it slows down or even amps up.
But there is a mechanism of control.
We will go through a journey of the chakra system and we will follow the spinal cord which corresponds to the chakra column.
In fact there are seven major chakras that correspond directly to bundles of nerves that branch out from the spine.
So there are literally centers with a high degree of nervous activity.
So it can be perceived and understood through felt sensations.
So we will start down at the coccygeal plexus which is around the tailbone,
Winds under the base of the spine.
You can begin to take your attention to that space around the very base of your spine.
You may even like to visualize the color red infusing this space.
This space is related to survival,
Safety,
Nourishment,
The place where you come home to your body.
Let the awareness glide up around the hips and the small of your back,
Around the reproductive system.
You might infuse this space with the color orange or any color that creatively arises.
This space governs our emotional identity,
Sexuality,
Feelings and creativity.
Lift the awareness towards the solar plexus,
A space just above the navel around the belly,
A center of power,
Ego,
Drive and action.
You may infuse this space with the color yellow,
Maybe visualizing this color expanding out.
Then lift the awareness up towards the heart and the lungs,
Around the pulmonary and cardiac plexus.
You can sense this area strongly through breath as you fill the lungs,
Expanding the rib cage wide.
On the exhale,
Feeling the space soften.
The space is connected to love,
Healing,
A sense of balance.
You may like to infuse this space with the color green or pink.
Take your awareness up to the throat,
Around the pharynx and the larynx,
Around the neck and the shoulders.
You may even sense around the sinuses.
Maybe noticing the cheekbones,
Visualizing them broadening so that you can take an even deeper breath.
And you might feel this breath travel up and down the throat.
Sense of communication,
Truth and self-expression,
This place that symbolically connects the brain to the body.
Just hear with thoughts and feelings a given voice.
You can infuse this space with the color blue.
And then lift your awareness to the space between your eyebrows,
The third eye.
This corresponds to the carotid plexus,
The pineal gland.
It is an area of inner vision.
You might infuse this space with the color indigo.
Space of intuition,
Insight,
Dreams.
Then lift the awareness all the way out to the crown,
Around the cerebral cortex and beyond.
The space of self-awareness,
Spirituality,
Where the individual meets the universal.
And here you might sense a beautiful violet light or maybe pure white light that shimmers through the crown of the head and washes through the whole chakra system,
Washes up and down the spine,
Cleansing and clearing.
And then in the space of pure awareness an intention might land that you can carry with you through the rest of Virgo season as you use your discernment to intelligently make choices for your highest good.
Feel free to continue meditating in this space,
This lovely elongated spine,
Feeling totally connected to your own powerful essence and energy.
Namaste.
