Hello and welcome to this meditation to harness the power of the moon.
For many centuries our ancestors used the moon to guide them,
To show them the way,
To show them the best time,
To plant seeds,
To harvest,
To take action.
And they were in rhythm with the cycles and the energies of the moon.
And grandmother moon took care of them,
Giving them the ability to heal,
To share,
To love and to empower themselves by dancing with the rhythm of the moon and discovering the mysteries that were held within.
Over time the guidance of the moon has been phasing out with modern technology and so we are out of rhythm,
We are out of cycle.
And so here you can optimise your energy,
Flowing with the rhythm of the moon goddess who will enlighten you,
Shine the light and show you the way.
I ask you to take a comfortable seat,
Place your feet firmly on the ground and cross your arms and legs,
Relax your shoulders and take three or four nice deep breaths.
Feel yourself becoming more and more relaxed and when you are ready you can close your eyes.
And as you close your eyes you open the cinema screen of your mind and you call forth a landscape.
And this landscape can be of any origin and it may be a landscape that is familiar to you through your ancestral line.
So it could be a desert or rocky landscape,
Somewhere by water,
By the river,
By the sea.
Perhaps you can see the outline of buildings around you,
A temple,
A church,
A tent,
A wooden hut.
Wherever you find yourself in whichever landscape is the right place for you today.
And so you take a moment to look around you and take in your surroundings.
And this landscape feels ancient.
You can feel the history underneath your feet.
You can feel the connection to Mother Earth through the soles of your feet connecting and grounding you.
And you notice the temperature,
Whether it is hot or cool.
If there are plants or maybe even animals.
Or perhaps the ground is just completely bare.
Notice your surroundings.
And now you notice that it is dark but you feel completely safe.
And as you look up into the sky you can see a galaxy of stars twinkling in the clear night sky.
And the brightest light of all is the light of the moon.
The light of grandmother moon in all of her splendour.
Feeling all of her tenderness,
Her love,
Her guidance.
And you can feel the great mystery that she holds and the great words of wisdom that she wishes to share with you today.
And you stand under the bright light of the moon as she illuminates you.
And she illuminates within you all that you need to see,
All that you need to hear and feel.
And all that you need to release.
For she knows that you have been holding on.
You have been holding on to the old and you have been holding on to the past.
And that you are ready to welcome a new beginning,
A refreshing,
Perhaps a new start.
And in order to do this you must be able and willing to release what is holding you back.
And so she will gently remind you of who you are,
Of the power that you hold within,
Of the essence of you.
And the gentle pull of your soul as it strives towards its purpose.
And so you spend a few moments absorbing this energy and allowing grandmother moon to speak with you.
You see her face,
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
You see her face,
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
You see her lips moving and you listen to what she has to say.
And now,
As she finishes what she has needed to share with you,
You may feel a gentle release of those energies that are no longer serving you.
You may understand the actions that you need to take,
The changes that you need to make in order to feel energized,
To rest when you are tired,
To use the energy when you feel invigorated,
To acknowledge when you are out of balance,
To nurture yourself,
To take care of yourself.
And you now have a renewed understanding,
A remembered understanding of how to work with the cycles of the moon and how this benefits you,
Allowing you to rejuvenate,
To recharge and to move forward when the time is right.
You are remembering the secrets and the magic and the mystery that can be charged with the light of the moon.
And you are able to connect to the goddess within the lunar,
Which allows you to dance to her rhythm and discover the mysteries that she holds within.
This is a remembered knowing,
A knowledge and a wisdom that you have always held.
And now it once again becomes a natural way of being,
Which is helping to support you and guide you to achieve your goals,
To remain in balance and feel connected once again to yourself,
Your higher self and the beauty and innate wisdom of nature and all that it can provide for you.
And you now look around the landscape that you are in and you begin to connect with whatever is around you.
Even if this is just the sand of the desert,
You lean down,
Pick up a handful of sand and let it run through your fingers.
Or perhaps the same by the side of a stream,
A river or the ocean,
Allowing the sand between your toes.
Or if it is a hard earth,
You can see your hands tracing a pattern in the ground.
Or maybe you feel a plant or a flower or a tree and you can smell the fragrance of it,
Which evokes memories.
Whatever your experience is,
You feel closer to nature,
You feel closer to the natural rhythms of nature and the seasons.
And it makes you want to move with those natural rhythms.
And perhaps you move your body in a way that feels natural to you as the goddess of the moon has once again connected you with the power of the moon,
Which holds great influence through all time and space.
You may choose to pick something up from the ground,
A memento of your journey today.
Perhaps it is significant.
Take a moment to look at it and place it carefully into your pocket.
And you spend a moment to look at the moon.
A moment just to gaze at the wholeness of the moon,
The landscape,
To feel the connection,
To feel the energy,
To feel the power and to know that it is now within you.
And that you can call upon the power of the moon at any time in her cycle.
And know at the most powerful times of the new moon and the full moon,
She will give you her full attention and you will appreciate her in return.
And honour her and respect her so that you may speak with her for reassurance,
For comfort,
For blessings.
And you now thank the moon for all that she has provided today,
Sending her your prayer of appreciation.
And you will slowly bring yourself back to the present moment,
To the room that you are in.
Becoming aware of where you are sitting,
Where you're making connection with the seat that you are in.
Perhaps gently wiggling your fingers and toes.
And when you are ready and in your own time,
You open your eyes and take three or four nice deep breaths.
Sending you blessings of love and light.
Thank you for listening.
Thank you.
