The moon's predictable pattern reminds us that life is cyclical,
With natural phases for growth and release.
During the full moon,
We can harness its powerful energy to focus on what we want to release,
As we watch the moon gradually fade,
Mirroring our intention to let go.
This phase symbolises shedding,
Simplifying and releasing.
As Deepak Chopra said,
In the process of letting go,
You will lose many things from the past,
But you will find yourself.
Each ritual we engage in gives us the opportunity to discover and connect with ourselves a little bit more,
Leaving space to welcome in new beginnings.
Welcome back to all of you who join me monthly,
And a warm welcome to anyone new listening today.
In this meditation,
We are going to connect with the energy of October's full moon in Aries.
It is also known as the Hunter's Moon,
As it once guided hunters in gathering food before winter.
This full moon is also a supermoon,
So like the past two months,
It will appear brighter and bolder in the sky.
Please find a really comfy position,
Preferably seated with your back straight,
But you can lie down if that feels better for you today,
And close your eyes.
Please engage with everything that has happened so far today,
And everything that is to come,
And just focus on the present.
Bring your awareness to your breathing.
With each inhale,
Imagine a white light flowing into your body.
And with each exhale,
Release any tension or stress you might be holding onto.
Try and connect to that white light,
And invite it in with patience and an open mind and heart.
October's full moon is in Aries,
Which is a bold and courageous sign.
It is also honest and direct,
So use this energy during this full moon to ask yourself honestly what you really want.
Listen to yourself with confidence.
The pioneering spirit of Aries can help you release what might be getting in your way,
And ignite some ambition that might have been hiding.
Silently repeat to yourself,
I embrace my courage and welcome the new beginnings that await me.
Imagine yourself now in a calm place in nature.
It might be a meadow.
It might be a beach.
Anywhere in nature that makes you feel peaceful and happy.
Imagine the luminous full moon glowing brightly above you.
You can see its vibrant light cascading down like a waterfall of energy.
You can feel that glow directly moving throughout your entire body.
Imagine this moonlight igniting your inner warrior,
Bringing with it your boldness and enthusiasm.
Allow yourself to feel empowered by the moon's energy.
Imagine this energy awakening your sense of purpose and clarity.
Focus now on what you want to release.
What is no longer serving you.
What might be holding you back from being the most authentic version of yourself.
Be bold and courageous when exploring this.
I'm going to give you some time now to really connect to what might be coming up.
I invite you to sit in the awareness of it without any judgment.
Come back now to your place in nature.
Imagine the full moon's light intensifying,
Growing brighter and stronger.
Picture what you have decided to release this month as dark clouds around you.
Focus on your breathing and with each exhale,
Imagine these clouds disappearing into the moonlight.
With each exhale,
Say to yourself,
Either silently or out loud,
I release what no longer serves me.
I release what no longer serves me.
Breathe out the fear,
The negativity,
Whatever it is you have been holding onto for too long.
Let it go.
Let it go.
As you allow the clouds to disappear,
You are left with that glowing,
Radiating moon in the sky.
Breathe a deep sigh of relief,
Feeling lighter and more courageous than you were when you started this meditation.
Begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment now.
You might want to introduce a bit of movement into your body.
Thank yourself for the time you have dedicated to your well-being today.
And you can open your eyes whenever it feels comfortable for you.
I hope you carry this full moon energy with you over the next few days.
Remember your courage,
Your bravery,
Your boldness.
Remember the space you have created today for new beginnings,
New adventures,
New opportunities,
New possibilities.
Welcome them all with an open mind and an open heart.
