Welcome,
My friend.
Today we honor the energy of the hunter's moon,
Also known as the harvest moon,
The full moon closest to the autumn equinox.
This moon has long been seen as a time to gather what has been sown,
Physically,
Emotionally,
And spiritually.
In ancient traditions,
It was the final opportunity to prepare for the stillness of winter,
A time of reaping the rewards of your work,
Honoring the abundance you've created,
And letting go of what no longer serves so you can enter the darker months with clarity.
Let's invest a sacred pause to reflect,
Receive,
And release on this full moon.
Close your eyes gently and feel your bare feet on the floor,
Or even better,
Place them directly on the ground.
With every breath in,
Imagine drawing energy up from the earth.
And with every exhale,
Release any tension down into the soil.
Feel your body rooted,
Safe,
Supported,
And steady.
Take a deep breath in and a full breath out.
Now picture yourself standing in a golden field at dusk.
The moon is rising,
Full and luminous,
Bathing your body in warm light.
All around you are symbols of your harvest,
Growth,
Lessons,
Love,
Strength.
What have you gathered this season that you want to celebrate?
And what are you ready to lay to rest as the seasons shift?
On your next in-breath,
Bring your hand to your heart space and silently repeat after me.
I honor my harvest.
I release with grace.
I receive with gratitude.
Now take one final deep breath in,
Inhaling all the wisdom of your journey on this full moon,
And exhaling,
Placing your trust in this season of rest.
As you move back into your day,
May the light of the harvest moon remind you.
You are always enough.
You have already gathered so much.
Honor that truth.
