Tonight we gather under the full strawberry moon.
The sweet ripening moon of June.
Named by indigenous peoples for the wild strawberries that reach their peak ripeness,
This moon carries the energy of abundance,
Joy,
And heart-centered harvest.
It invites you to taste the sweetness of what you have cultivated,
To celebrate your growth,
And to release anything that no longer nourishes your soul.
Like the bright red strawberries,
This moon reminds you to be open to love,
Pleasure,
And the simple gifts of life.
Feel the soft silvery light of the strawberry moon pouring down upon you.
Imagine its warm glow touching your skin.
Softening your shoulders.
And gently illuminating your heart.
With each inhale,
Breathe in the sweet nectar of abundance,
Gratitude for how far you've come,
And the fruits of your intentions,
Your courage,
And your quiet daily efforts.
With each exhale,
Release what is overripe,
Old stories,
Heavy expectations.
The fears that dim your light.
Let them fall away like overripe berries returning to the earth.
There is no need to force anything.
Simply allow the strawberry moon to help you let go.
Now place both hands over your heart.
Feel it glowing with red,
Vibrant energy.
The color of ripe strawberries and open-hearted love.
And allow this affirmation to wash over you.
Strawberry moon,
I receive the sweetness of life.
I celebrate my growth.
I release what no longer serves.
My heart is open.
I am ripe with possibility.
Now breathe here for a few moments.
Allowing the moon's light fill you with joy,
Playfulness,
And deep self-love.
Feel yourself ripening into the next beautiful chapter.
Carry this sweetness with you as you move through this lunar cycle.
And so it is.
Happy Strawberry Moon,
My friend.
