Welcome to your guided meditation,
And please take all the time that you need to settle into a very safe and comfortable position,
Ensuring that all of your external needs are met and making no compromise on your comfort.
Gently closing down your eyes and bringing your awareness inwards.
Grounding yourself into this space by gently deepening your breath.
Take a slow breath in and a longer breath out.
Notice the gentle rise and fall of your belly.
Notice the sensation of your breath going in and out through your nostrils,
Using no effort at all as your body and your mind start to relax.
And I now invite you to imagine that you are lying somewhere in nature,
And you are looking up at the night sky.
Just focus your gaze on the moon,
The beautiful moon who consistently and steadfastly rises every single night,
Regardless of the weather,
No matter what the season.
She rises confidently,
And she illuminates the night sky.
The moon doesn't seek any approval to rise.
She doesn't seek any permission to shine.
She doesn't question her brilliance or magnificence.
She doesn't dim her brightness to fit into the night sky.
She doesn't turn down her light to let the stars feel brighter.
She vibrantly glows in her very own luminous light and lights up the entire night sky.
Just take a moment to bathe in the moonlight,
To allow her light to nurture you.
Allow the pureness,
The brilliance,
The radiance,
The luminosity of the moon to light up your world,
To light you up from within.
Take time to remind yourself of her consistency,
Showing up for herself time and time again,
Every single night.
And even in a cloud-filled sky,
You know without doubt that she is there,
Unwavering in her resolve to shine as brightly as she possibly can.
She's showing up.
She's shining her light.
She's rising in her own power and glory.
She's true to herself.
She's genuine.
She is authentic.
And just like the moon,
You don't need any approval to rise.
You don't need any permission to shine.
You don't need to dim your light or tone down your sparkle.
You don't need to worry about being too much.
You don't need to change in order to fit in or feel like you belong.
The only permission that you need is your own.
The moon owns her brilliance,
And it's time for you to own yours.
Your light,
Your gifts,
Your unique magic.
They are meant to be seen and felt in the world.
Just as the moon commands attention simply by being herself,
You have the power to illuminate spaces just by showing up exactly who you are.
Rising with confidence and knowing that the world needs your light,
Your brilliance is needed.
And when you let yourself truly shine from within,
You light the way for others to do the same.
The light inside of you that glows with ideas,
With passion,
With purpose.
Please don't try to contain it.
Let it glow.
Let it grow.
Let it light up your world and everything around you.
The moon understands that her light is a gift to the world.
Your light is no different.
It's not selfish to shine.
It's not arrogant to be seen.
It's not too much to be fully,
Radiantly yourself.
So stand tall.
Turn up your brightness.
Let your light reach every corner it can touch.
The world is waiting for your unique kind of magic.
