As much as I love a serious meditation that's deeply moving and quiet and still,
I also love this special version,
Slightly cheeky meditation of the Circle of Renewal.
So this meditation is for letting go,
Grounding down,
But not taking life too seriously or yourself.
And it's all under the Capricorn Full Moon.
So now we're going to dive deep,
But we're not doing it with furrowed brows and spiritual intensity that makes your face cramp.
Nope.
We're breathing,
Laughing,
Releasing,
And remembering that you can be both spiritually aligned and a little silly.
And what better time than under the full moon in Capricorn,
The cosmic queen of structure,
Resilience,
And resting serious face.
Don't worry,
Capricorn might be the mountain goat of the zodiac,
But even goats love to frolic now and then.
So let's lighten the load.
Let's ground down and let's let go of the pressure.
We'll connect with what matters,
Maybe with a wink and a smirk,
But a deep sigh of relief.
So please get in comfy.
Find your most majestic meditation position.
So it might be on a yoga mat,
Sitting on the couch,
Or curled up like a croissant.
There's no judgment,
Just comfort.
Close your eyes,
Or you can keep them slightly open if you're someone who gets a bit suspicious when it's too quiet.
And inhale deeply.
And exhale like you're letting out the sigh of a long week.
Go on,
Let it all go.
Yes,
Even that awkward thing you said in 2015.
It's safe to release it now.
Letting your breath settle,
Let your belly soften,
And your brain can stop checking its to-do list.
You're here,
You made it,
And you don't need to achieve anything for the next little while.
Isn't that glorious?
The Capricorn Moon,
Wise,
Witty,
And slightly bossy.
So let's take a moment to honour our full moon in Capricorn.
She's sensible,
Grounded,
The queen of boundaries,
And she sees everything.
Even the pile of things you keep saying you'll deal with next week.
Capricorn Energy is all about showing up,
Staying ready,
And doing the deep work.
Not with drama,
But with a quiet,
Focused vibe that says,
I've got this,
And I'm doing it in comfy pants.
Under her light,
We're invited to pause,
Not to fix everything at once,
But to check in.
What's really working?
What's just taking up energetic shelf space?
And where can we cut the nonsense with cry-ness?
Let's keep going.
So calling in that sacred flow in a chill way.
Right palm can turn up,
Left palm can turn down.
Why?
Because we're receiving the good stuff and releasing the stuff that's been weighing us down.
Like all the mental tabs that have been left open all week.
We want to visualise the moonlight pouring in through your right hand,
Up your arm,
And into your heart.
And out the left side like a cosmic detox.
In through the right,
Out through the left.
In with the magic,
And out with the meh.
This is the spiritual equivalent of a deep tissue massage,
Minus the elbow in your back and awkward small talk.
And we're grounding now,
And it's going to feel good.
Focus on your feet,
Your hips,
Your base.
Whatever bit of you is holding you to the earth.
Imagine roots growing down into the ground,
Anchoring you like the fabulous human oak tree that you are.
Capricorn's Earth Energy says,
You don't need to float away to find peace.
You just need to be here.
So breathe.
Sink in.
Feel your roots.
And maybe give the floor a little mental thanks for holding you up every day.
It's time to release with love and maybe a side of sass.
So bring to mind someone or something you're ready to let go of.
It could be a memory,
A belief.
Could be a person who still hasn't returned your Tupperware.
And now picture a golden infinity symbol.
Place yourself in one loop,
And place them in the other.
And whisper these magical words of release.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I love you.
Thank you.
Again,
Say it like you mean it,
Even if it's through slightly gritted teeth,
But let the threads between you dissolve into light.
I'm sorry.
Please forgive me.
I love you.
Thank you.
Let it go,
All of it.
Even the weird emotional baggage with the broken handle.
You're clearing space for the real you to rise.
Gratitude.
Thank you.
Because bitterness is so last season.
Breathing into your heart and think of something or someone that makes you feel truly grateful.
It could be big,
Or it could be the fact your tea was the perfect temperature today.
That counts.
And let that feeling of appreciation and gratitude fill your whole body.
Really grasp it as a feeling,
A sensation,
Rather than an intellectual idea.
And smile,
Even if it's a sneaky half smile,
It still works.
Gratitude brings you back into your body,
Back into your joy.
And it's the finishing touch on your energetic makeover.
And we anchor into the magic.
Place your hands over your heart.
Feel your breath move in and out.
Feel the calm.
Feel the strength.
Feel the ridiculously fabulous power of being you.
And repeat to yourself,
May I live with peace.
May I live with balance and harmony.
May I live with happiness.
Now send out that wish.
Send it to your loved ones,
Your barista,
Your childhood dog,
The world.
May all beings live with peace.
May all beings live with balance and harmony.
May all beings live with happiness.
And a little bit of cheek.
And in closing,
Thank you for showing up,
For breathing,
For softening,
For releasing and for laughing,
Even just a little.
Capricorn thanks you too.
She might not show it,
But trust me,
She's proud of you.
Thank you.
So take your time in coming back with a wiggle of your fingers,
Wiggle of your toes.
You can stretch if you need to or yawn dramatically if it feels right.
So you've done some serious energetic spring cleaning and you made it look easy.
So as you go ahead,
Take this renewed,
Grounded energy into the rest of your day,
Your week,
Your life.
Build something beautiful with it or just have a nap.
Both are noble choices.
Namaste,
Dear one.
