When the moon is full,
It pours out a blessing on the earth,
Buddha.
Find a comfortable position,
Either seated or lying down,
And close your eyes.
Take a moment to connect with your breath.
Feel it flow in and out of your body,
Calming your mind and relaxing your muscles.
Imagine a protective energy cocoon around you,
Preparing you for a journey under the back moon.
Imagine yourself standing on a soft,
Grassy field under a starry sky.
Feel the cool grass beneath your feet,
Grounding you and connecting you to the earth.
As you breathe in,
Feel the fresh night air fills your lungs.
With each breath out,
Let go of any tension.
Or worries,
Allowing yourself to be fully present in this moment.
Visualize a shimmering pathway made of silver light stretching out before you.
This pathway leads you to a magical clearing.
In the heart of a mystical forest,
Where the back moon is at its peak,
Casting a gentle silver glow over everything.
As you walk along the pathway,
Notice the twinkling stars and the soft rustle of leaves around you.
Each step you take brings you closer to the clearing and you feel a growing sense of peace and anticipation.
You arrive at the clearing,
Where you see a majestic stag with fully grown antlers,
Standing in the moonlight,
Looking at you.
This stag represents strength,
Renewal and the energy of the beautiful back moon.
Approach the stag with respect and curiosity,
Feeling a deep connection to its wisdom and power.
You come closer and closer and the stag doesn't move.
Now you are right beside the stag,
Feeling its presence.
Breathe in the energy of the back moon and as you exhale,
Imagine this energy filling your entire being,
Bringing you strength,
Clarity and renewal.
Now visualize a gentle stream of silver light flowing from the back moon into your heart.
This light carries the moon's energy of growth and transformation.
Allow this light to fill your heart,
Expanding throughout your body and touching every part of your being.
Spend a few moments in this space,
Absorbing the energy coming from the back moon and the strength of the stag that is still standing right by you.
Feel the renewal and transformation taking place within you as the meditation comes to a close.
Thank the stag for its guidance and the back moon for its energy.
Slowly start to bring your awareness back to the pathway,
Knowing you can return to this magical clearing whenever you need.
That majestic stag will always be there and waiting for you.
Now begin to follow the silver pathway.
Go back,
Feeling lighter and more empowered with each step.
Gradually become aware of your physical surroundings for one last time.
Feel the grass beneath your feet and the night air around you.
When you're ready,
Gently open your eyes and take a moment to stretch your body,
Feeling refreshed and renewed.
Thank you for joining me in this beautiful journey under the July back moon.
From my heart to yours,
With all my love and gratitude,
Namaste.
