Settle into a comfortable position,
Preferably seated with your back straight,
And allow your eyes to gently close.
Take a deep breath in through your nose,
Filling your lungs completely.
Hold it for a moment,
And then exhale slowly through your mouth.
Repeat this two more times,
Feeling yourself grounding and centering in this moment.
In this meditation,
We are going to connect with the energy of the Gemini Full Moon.
This is a time to release what no longer serves us,
Reflect on the past year,
And embrace adaptability and curiosity for the path ahead.
This moon is often called the Cold Moon,
Named for the winter temperatures and long nights of December.
This symbolises a time of stillness and reflection,
Encouraging us to embrace renewal as we prepare for the new cycle of the year.
This moon will illuminate our need for clarity in communication,
Flexibility in our thoughts,
And the freedom to let go.
There are a lot of stresses at this time of year.
A lot of tensions,
Concerns and worries,
Not only for the holiday season,
But for what is going to come with the new year.
I encourage you to really try and connect to the energy of this last full moon of the year,
And just let go.
Let go,
And see the magic of that release unfold.
Take some deep breaths to ground yourself again in this moment.
Picture yourself standing under the glow of the cold moon.
Its silvery,
Magical light illuminates everything around you,
Reflecting the stillness and clarity of winter.
This light represents Gemini's dual characteristics,
Its balance of logic and intuition,
Reason and emotion.
Visualise the moonlight forming a gentle breeze,
Swirling around you.
This breeze is here to clear away old thought patterns,
Stagnant energy and limiting beliefs.
It is here to lift anything that you are ready to release,
Making you feel lighter and freer.
Visualise this breeze carrying you to an open field.
In this field,
You see two pathways.
One path represents the past.
What patterns or negative situations do you find yourself in all the time?
You are going to put these on the path of the past.
The other path represents the future.
A future full of potential,
Adaptability and freedom.
Take a moment to reflect on what thoughts or beliefs or patterns you are holding on to that no longer serve you.
How might they be stopping you from embracing flexibility,
Curiosity or change?
This moon is all about looking forward,
So imagine how you will feel leaving behind the things you have now decided belong in the path of the past.
If you feel ready to embrace that change,
Feel the breeze carrying you forward,
Helping you step into the energy of renewal and possibility.
Take one last look at the path of the past.
See your old patterns and beliefs there.
Let go of them now.
Just let go and see yourself walking along the path of the future,
Carried lovingly by that gentle breeze.
As you walk under the cold moon's light,
Repeat this silently or out loud,
Letting the meaning resonate throughout your mind,
Body and spirit.
I have released the old to make space for the new,
And I am open to life's possibilities.
Feel these words sink into your being,
Creating a sense of calm and empowerment.
Bring your awareness now back to your breath.
Take a deep inhale through your nose,
Holding the fullness of your experience today,
And exhale slowly,
Grounding yourself back in the present.
You might want to bring some movement into your body now,
And when you feel ready,
Gently open your eyes.
Take a moment to notice how you are feeling,
Hopefully lighter,
Clearer,
And more aligned with the adaptable and communicative energy of Gemini,
And the reflective wisdom of the cold moon.
You have reflected,
Released,
And embraced the energy of Gemini,
And now you are ready to step forward with a lighter heart and a clearer mind.
I wish you all the very best as you embrace this final full moon of 2024.
Here's to new beginnings,
And the opportunities they bring.
