Welcome.
Welcome one and all to the sacred moment under our new moon.
A time of stillness,
Possibility and new beginnings.
So please take yourself into a comfortable seat or lying down and let your body settle.
Close your eyes if it feels right and begin to move your awareness inward.
Taking a slow breath in through the nose,
Exhaling gently out through the mouth.
And let's do that once more together.
Inhaling softly and expansively and then exhaling completely.
And one more time together.
Inhale and exhale.
Letting that go.
As you feel the surface beneath you and feel the weight of your body.
Let gravity hold you.
Knowing that you are safe,
You are grounded and you are here.
Slowly begin to observe your natural rhythm of breath.
Not in calm,
Cool moonlight.
With every exhale,
Release tension,
Stress or heaviness.
Inhale light.
Exhale what no longer serves.
Let your breath be your anchor.
The new moon is the quiet dark,
An empty sky and a blank page.
It is a sacred pause,
Space for rest,
Reflection,
Renewal.
Take yourself now to beneath the night sky.
No stars,
No moon.
Just deep,
Still darkness.
This darkness is not empty.
It is full,
Full of potential.
Let yourself soften into the silence.
You are part of this cosmic rhythm.
Waxing,
Waning,
Beginning again.
As you raced in this fertile darkness,
Gently ask yourself,
What am I ready to release?
Is it a habit,
A fear,
A limiting belief?
Or is it an old story,
A relationship,
An emotion?
Allow one thing to gently rise into your awareness.
See it clearly.
Thank it for what it taught you.
And then with your breath,
Begin to let it go.
Inhaling space.
Exhale and release.
Let it dissolve into the soil of this dark lunar moment.
And trust that what you release creates space for what you are becoming.
Now turn toward what is calling you forward.
Ask your heart,
What do I wish to grow?
What am I planting now?
Invite an intention to form.
Perhaps a word,
A phrase,
Or an image.
Let it rise naturally,
Like a seed pushing through the dark earth.
Breathe into this intention and see it surrounded by silver moonlight,
Even in its invisible phase.
And whisper it softly to yourself a few times.
Let it settle into your body,
Into your breath,
And into the fertile soil of now.
The new moon teaches us patience.
Growth is quiet at first.
There is magic in the unseen,
In the becoming.
Trust your intention is in motion.
No need to force or strive.
Simply nurture,
Gently,
The tension and belief.
Let us rest now in the knowing that what we've planted will bloom in the right time,
In the right way.
Begin to bring awareness back to your breath.
Feel the air moving in and out.
Feel your body resting.
Gently wiggle your fingers and toes,
Noticing the space between them.
Now taking one slow,
Long breath in.
Pausing and sighing out.
Place one hand over your heart and repeat,
I am aligned.
I am renewed.
I am ready.
I am aligned.
I am renewed.
I am ready.
Breathe in and as you exhale,
Let the focus go.
And when you feel complete,
Slowly open your eyes and carry your intention with grace into the days ahead.
The moon will grow and so will you.
And so,
Until we meet again at the next new moon,
May your heart continue to guide you as your wisdom radiates throughout you.
Namaste.
