Hello,
Hello beautiful souls and welcome to this new moon meditation.
New moons mark the beginning of a lunar cycle.
They represent a powerful time for renewal,
A fresh start in planting new seeds of intention.
New moons invite us to take a pause,
Turn inward,
And plant the seeds of our heart's desires into the rich soil of infinite possibility.
During this phase,
The moon is hidden from sight,
Completely invisible to us in the night sky.
But instead of seeing this darkness as an empty void,
We embrace it as an invitation to turn inward,
To quiet the noise of the outside world and listen deeply to our own inner voice.
It's a time for stillness,
Where we reconnect with the wisdom that lives within each and every one of us.
To help you visualize this,
Imagine a vast,
Untouched plot of land before you.
The soil is rich and fertile with infinite potential.
It has everything required for growth,
Abundant sunlight,
Gentle shade,
And ideal conditions for life to flourish.
Yet in this moment,
The land remains open,
Waiting for somebody to shape its destiny.
This space holds infinite possibilities.
You could plant vegetables,
Fruits,
Flowers,
Or even nurture an entire forest.
Whatever your heart desires,
This land is ready to bring it to life.
Just as this plot of land is ready for creation,
So is your inner garden during this new moon.
It is open,
Fertile,
And receptive to all the seeds you plant during this time.
You hold the power to choose what to plant and nurture.
And with that knowledge,
We must also be mindful not to allow unwanted thoughts or intentions to take root in this sacred garden during this time.
So at the beginning of each lunar cycle,
We set our intentions deliberately,
Making sure to only plant and nurture the seeds we want to see blossom in the weeks ahead.
As we begin this meditation,
We will connect with our inner wisdom,
Seek clarity on what is rising within us at this time,
And set powerful intentions for the fertile,
Untouched soil that lies before us.
Let this be the foundation upon which we cultivate growth,
Transformation,
And abundance in the coming weeks.
Let us begin by finding a comfortable position,
Whether seated or lying down,
Whatever feels best for you and your body at this moment.
Now let's connect with the energy of the new moon through our breath.
As we breathe,
We mirror the natural rhythm of the ocean,
Ebbing and flowing,
Just like the moon's pool on the tides.
Each inhale brings in positivity,
Clarity,
And intention,
While each exhale releases tension,
Stress,
And anything that no longer serves you.
Let's take a deep breath in,
Feeling the energy rise,
And as you exhale,
Feel your body soften,
Letting go of any tightness or stress.
Breathe in again,
Deeply through your nose,
Aligning with the moon's energy.
And as we release,
We allow our body to sink deeper and deeper into relaxation.
One more deep breath in,
And out,
Releasing any remaining tension as you settle fully into this present moment.
And if you haven't done so yet,
Let's take a moment to please close your eyes and turn your awareness inward,
Setting the intention to gain clarity on the seeds you wish to plant during this new moon cycle.
I invite you to reflect on the following three questions as a guide for establishing your intention for the weeks ahead.
The first question I invite you to ask yourself is,
What emotions,
Thoughts,
Or patterns have been showing up for me lately?
This question asks us to reflect on what has been rising to the surface,
Even the subtle things that may have gone unnoticed.
Now,
I want you to explore this question.
How do you feel about where you are in your life right now?
Without judgment,
Take a step back and observe your current situation.
And finally,
I want you to consider what area of your life is calling you for growth,
Transformation,
Or healing during this time.
Once you gain clarity on these areas,
Let's take a moment to reflect on this question.
What intention feels most aligned with your highest growth?
I want you to allow this intention to emerge naturally from a place of deep inner knowing.
Now that you have clarity on your intention,
I want you to picture yourself holding a small blank piece of paper.
Envision yourself writing your intention on this paper,
Bold and clear,
Filled with the energy of your desire.
Next,
I want you to gently fold the paper.
Fold it once,
Then again,
And again,
And again.
Each fold symbolizes your commitment to this intention.
And as the paper becomes smaller and smaller,
I want you to feel the energy of your intention intensifying,
Becoming more concentrated,
More potent,
And full of life.
You fold it again,
Until you can fold no more.
The energy is now contained.
It is compact,
Yet extremely powerful.
I want you to place this small folded paper in the palm of your hand.
Feel its energy,
Alive and buzzing with potential.
Cover it with your other hand,
Cradling it gently between both palms.
Now imagine yourself standing beneath the dark night sky,
Where the moon,
Though hidden,
Holds the infinite potential of renewal and transformation.
I want you to visualize a glistening silver light peeking through from the depths of this darkness,
And casting a gentle glow upon your hands from above.
As it envelops you,
Sense the folded paper in your hands beginning to shift,
The energy pulsing and changing.
Under the moon's light,
The paper transforms into a small,
Vibrant seed,
A seed infused with your intention,
Holding the potential for something beautiful and meaningful.
With this seed in hand,
Envision yourself walking up to the plot of rich,
Dark soil.
The ground is soft and welcoming,
Ready to embrace this precious gift.
As you kneel down before the earth,
Feeling its warmth beneath your fingers,
You gently press the seed of your intention into the soil,
Envisioning it nestled in the nourishing earth.
As you cover it with the rich soil,
Know that this seed is now planted in the fertile ground of the universe,
Embraced by the nurturing darkness,
Ready to grow and flourish.
Trust in the unfolding,
Knowing that with time,
Patience,
And care,
This seed will blossom into something beautiful,
Something aligned with the truth of your soul.
As we gently bring this meditation to a close,
Take a moment to sit with the intention you've planted.
How does it feel to know that this seed is now nestled in the fertile soil of your soul,
Ready to grow?
I also want you to take some time to consider how you will tend to this intention in the days and weeks ahead.
What small,
Mindful habits can you adopt to nurture this seed towards fruition?
Remember,
Just like a garden,
The process requires patience,
Care,
And attention.
There is no right or wrong path when setting intentions.
If you ever find yourself moving in a direction that no longer feels aligned with your highest good,
Trust that you have the power to pause,
Reassess,
And choose a new path,
One that feels more harmonious with your inner truth.
I want to take this time to thank you for sharing the space with me during this New Moon Meditation.
May this lunar cycle bring you clarity,
Insight,
And the opportunity to manifest your deepest desires in alignment with your higher self.
Ashe,
Aho,
Amen,
And so it is,
My friends.
