Full Moon October 28, 2023 Meditation

A meditation written specifically for this full moon and lunar eclipse.

This meditation helps explain what energies are happening right now and what you might be feeling. It helps guide you through letting go of things that no longer serve you from the past 2 years.

Needed: A pen, paper, a dark-colored candle, a milky or crystal quartz, a fire-safe container, a lighter.

I do also recommend saging your area in which you plan to do this meditation, completely letting go of any old energies that might be sticking around.

It will take approximately 20-30 minutes with the journaling.

Transcript

Welcome to the full moon meditation.

Get a piece of paper,

A pen,

A candle,

Preferably a dark one,

Either dark blue or dark purple,

And a clear or milky quartz crystal or any other white clear crystal.

Get a fire safe bowl or can or even a paper shredder.

Finding a nice comfortable place to sit,

I recommend lighting some sage and just kind of clearing the area around you as you find a nice comfortable place to sit,

Preferably outside looking up at the moon,

But you can do this anywhere.

Lighting the sage,

Clearing the energy all around you in order to start fresh.

Full moons emits the most light when its energy is at its peak.

On this day or within the 48 hour,

24 on each side,

You are filled up with all the energy,

The thoughts,

The feelings,

The blessings,

The challenges of the last month.

Now the moon is about to wane,

Releasing its light and this ritual is about releasing what no longer serves you so you can shift in new directions that are more in line with your current vibration.

Make room for new energies and opportunities that will keep moving in the direction in which you want to go.

Keeping your eyes open if it feels good,

Taking nice deep full breaths in and out through the nose.

Pulling the breath through the sit bones all the way up into the heart space.

As you exhale,

Feeling your shoulders soften,

Feeling your body soften,

Sending the breath down back through your sit bones.

Taking nice big deep breaths,

Really tapping in.

Deep in through the belly.

Open the mouth,

Let it go.

On the next inhale saying to yourself,

There is nowhere to be.

And on the exhale,

There is nothing to do.

Continuing to breathe at this pace in and out through the nose,

Nice and slow.

And if your mind wanders,

That's okay,

You're human.

Just bring your attention back to counting your breath.

Inhale 4,

Exhale 5.

Or just back to my words.

This new moon eclipse provides a powerful opportunity for transformation and renewal.

Embrace the changes that have occurred and release the burdens that no longer serve you.

Trust in your growth and the exciting potential that lies ahead.

We end two-year cycle with a partial lunar eclipse and full moon in Taurus taking place on October 28th,

2023.

Eclipses signify significant periods of change and transformation.

These shifts do not take place all at once.

They may start or continue on the date of a specific eclipse but their work continues throughout the time when eclipses are occurring in the same signs.

This lunar eclipse brings a strong energy of closure to the last two years.

Deep breaths in and deep breaths out.

Closing your eyes if it feels good.

While a solar eclipse opens the portal for new beginnings and change,

A lunar eclipse helps us complete a journey or shift our course in some way.

Lunar eclipses like full moons are revealing.

They convey the truth in an often dramatic way.

They are also much more emotionally charged compared to a solar eclipse.

They affect the emotional body to a greater degree.

A lunar eclipse is an opportunity to create significant change in your life.

This change may come about abruptly.

You may find yourself feeling surprised or caught off guard by what is revealed.

Not all of the information is negative though.

Some of it may be positive and brings you inspiration along with encouragement to shift your life.

Old energies may rise to the surface of your conscious mind to find understanding and closure.

Even if you thought some of these had released from your field,

You may find yourself facing them again as they make their final exit from your consciousness.

Sometimes this forward motion can feel disruptive to your nervous system and it may even resist it initially.

There is no moving backward on this lunar eclipse.

You cannot fight this knowledge.

You can only take it in and ask yourself what you can create with this.

If you attempt to cling to energies that no longer serve your evolution,

You will be met with frustration and misalignment.

If the lunar eclipse reveals something in your life that needs to be released,

It's best to find the least traumatic way to just move on.

Deep breath in and a deep breath out.

The lunar eclipse and the month that follows,

It's an opportunity to detach from energies,

Emotions,

And even people who do not serve your evolution.

Eclipses are the time to break through the barriers in whatever form they take that prevents you from reaching your potential.

On this particular eclipse,

We are working with the energies of Taurus and Scorpio where the moon and Sun are positioned.

The eclipse carries tremendous power and is the perfect complement to the recent solar eclipse and Libra given that both Taurus and Libra are ruled by Venus.

These two eclipses work together to help us find balance,

Stillness,

And beauty beyond the chaos in our lives.

It can be energetically and emotionally intense.

Fortunately,

A lunar eclipse in Taurus feels more peaceful to the nervous system than some other energies.

This is a moment of stillness,

A moment to feel connected and supported by the earth and abundant.

It helps us feel our inner reliance in the face of any storm.

It helps us restore our inner peace when the world has thrown as a curveball.

The energy to look in life feels overwhelming or overstimulating or maybe it just feels too much.

It helps us connect to the subtle energies of nature like the Sun on your face,

The breeze on your cheek,

And the ground under your feet to feel your center.

Scorpio and Taurus are both connected with the present moment.

They want to help us center our energy.

Scorpio does this by encouraging us to face all of our shadows and life cycles.

As we wade through our trauma,

Our fears,

And our pain,

We can find our way to the bottom.

Here we find a thread that binds everything together and in this feeling of interconnectedness we find our truth and we find stillness.

Scorpio wants us to experience every up and down life has to offer.

At the end of this roller coaster ride we can find peace.

Now gently wiggling your fingers,

Opening your eyes,

And taking your piece of paper.

At the top of it I want you to write my full moon release list and we're gonna make a list of all the things you intend to release.

The things that have perhaps been helpful or harmful to you in the last month and that are no longer serving you and your highest good.

What are you ready to let go of?

Gently closing your eyes,

Your hands on your knees,

Facing up for receiving.

We're going to do a few deep breaths just visualizing what are we ready to let go of.

A deep breath in straightening the spine.

Slowly exhale.

Every time something comes up feel free to write it down in the moment.

Sitting here in moments of stillness.

Pausing this meditation if you need a little bit more time.

We're going to add a few things to this list.

Thinking about what were you born into?

What stories do you need to let go of?

This can be super deep-rooted stories.

Things like you're not good enough,

You're annoying,

You don't know how to manage money,

You're not successful.

What stories come from your childhood that maybe you've been carrying with you this whole time?

What stories is it time to let go of?

Taking a moment to either writing these down or sitting with your eyes closed just visualizing I'm letting them go.

I do recommend writing them down though because we will be putting them in the candle flame.

Now pausing here if you still need more time we're going to shift into what ideas around money do you have?

In this specific eclipse and full moon we want to let all of our ideas about money go.

We want to shift in to this new era of our life of our of this phase of life that we're in and embrace a different way.

Maybe something that aligns more to the here and to the now.

This is a great time to reboot personal values,

Your work-life balance.

It's a great time to release beliefs,

Patterns,

Habits that are no longer ours to keep.

Making a list of all of these things that fall into these categories.

Pausing here if you need more time.

Now when you're ready you're gonna read the list out loud or just to yourself and think about your readiness to release all of these things from your life.

Place your hands over the list and thank it for all you have learned and received.

Tear the paper into pieces and put it in the fire safe container that you chose.

Set it on fire and watch it burn or put it in the shredder.

As you do this imagine the energies from the things on your list dissolving with love and grace and dissipating into the atmosphere.

Repeating to yourself or out loud,

I now willingly release these experiences,

Insecurities,

Fears and pain.

I let it all go with ease and grace and so it is so.

When you're ready blow out the candle and discard the ashes or the empty shredder into the trash and take it outside.

If you can see it spend some time out there gazing at the full moon or if you've been outside this whole time just spend some time gazing at the moon.

Spend the rest of the evening thinking about who you can be now without those things that have set free.

Namaste
