Welcome to this full moon meditation practice.
To begin,
Lie back into Shavasana position,
Closing down your eyes.
Surrender your body to the firm earth.
Rest your arms slightly away from the sides of your body,
Palms facing upwards,
Ready to receive.
Feel yourself fully supported by the ground,
Your head,
Your shoulders,
Your lower back,
Your glutes,
Your leg,
Your heel,
All firmly planted on Mother Earth.
As you lie here with your eyes closed,
Begin to form a picture of the big bright full moon,
Directly above the sea,
A body of water.
The full moon is known for its strong gravitational pulls,
Drawing the water back,
Back,
Back,
And lapping the water in,
In,
All the way to the shoreline,
All in beautiful rhythm.
The moon breathes water into the centre of the earth and exhales the water to the shoreline.
It breathes water into the centre of the earth and exhales water to the shoreline,
Just as it does with our own body of water.
Imagine yourself lying atop this great body of water,
With calm,
Still sea.
Imagine yourself effortlessly floating on the surface of the water,
Just like a sea otter in his natural home,
Lying on your back in serene tranquillity,
Feeling the water underneath your body and caressing your sides.
Feeling the coolness of the lunar energy from above,
Embracing your skin.
As you inhale through your nose,
You breathe in the full moon's energy filling up your belly,
Your lungs,
Your upper chest,
And as you exhale you feel that flow of moonlight gushing into every pocket of your body.
Continuing to inhale and exhale,
Finding your own rhythm,
Connecting to the feminine yin energy of the moon and feeling its nurturing and restorative light enter your body as you inhale and flow throughout as you exhale.
The moonlight entering your body as you inhale and flowing throughout as you exhale.
Releasing the breath and feeling your body once more atop the calm surface of the sea,
Under the night sky,
The child of the moon.
The sea gently ebbs and flows,
Moving ever back and forth,
Taking your body with it in its gentle sway,
Just like a mother would rock its child.
Up to 60% of our bodies are made of water,
Our brain,
Our heart,
Our lungs.
We can even be found in our bones.
As you rock back and forth in the arms of the sea,
Begin to feel the water inside your own body,
Rock in unison,
The full moon's energy overhead,
Affecting the tides of the world and also the tides of your inner world.
Feel the moon's energy draw the water up from your toes throughout your entire body to the very crown of your head and all the way back down through your body once more.
Feel the water trickle up through your feet,
Your ankles,
Your lower legs,
Your knees,
Your upper legs,
Your glutes,
Your lower abdomen,
Your navel centre,
Your cosmic connection to the universe.
Feeling the water continue to trickle up and around the upper abdomen,
Your heart centre,
Your chest,
Your throat,
Your jaw,
Your chin,
Your cheeks,
Your forehead,
The back of your head,
All the way to the crown of your head.
As the water begins its journey down through your body,
Feel its strong current working its way into every organ,
Every bone,
Every muscle,
Gushing in and around and out of every cell,
Clearing and cleansing,
Taking with it any impurities,
Any toxins,
Any negative emotions and carrying it to the surface of your skin.
Your pores open wide as the salt water greets and embraces that which no longer serves you – sterilising and neutralising all the heaviness you carried,
Washing it clean away.
Continue to observe the natural tides in your body,
Swirling in and out of every crevice,
Purifying your holy temple as the impurities seep from your pores dissolving into the salty water,
Beginning to feel lighter and lighter as the weight is taken from you.
As you take a deep inhale,
You feel a sense of gratitude washing over you.
Your body feels like it's just been reborn,
Emerging from the cosmic water.
You are overtaken with joy,
Senseless joy.
Like a baby that has just been born,
You are free,
Free,
Truly free,
Present,
Still.
Your heart begins to swell with love,
Feeling it consume your entire body,
An overflowing sense of love,
For no reason,
Just for the sake of love.
The power of love.
You begin to notice your cosmic umbilical cord emerging from your navel centre,
A luminous,
Translucent cord connecting directly to the celestial body of the moon overhead,
Smiling down on you.
The moon begins to send a stream of bright white droplets down through the cord,
And as they enter your body through your belly button,
You begin to feel a warm,
Soothing sensation melt across your body.
The droplets come quicker and quicker as this nurturing sensation spreads throughout your entire being.
As you surrender to the moon,
Its warm flow increases as a cascade of bright white light fills your body with a loving energy.
You are suspended in love,
Floating on the sea surface.
The full moon is known to magnify emotions,
Taking your strong qualities and enhancing them.
Now feel that love the moon has gifted,
Becoming a very part of your being.
You are one with love.
You are loved.
Repeat to yourself mentally,
I am love.
I am loving.
I am lovable.
I am love.
I am loving.
I am lovable.
Feel that love build and expand from within you,
From within your heart center.
Feel it flooding your body,
Gifting the sea and the surrounds with your beautiful energy.
Once more,
I am love.
I am loving.
I am lovable.
I am love.
Resting in this warm electric energy.
Resting in this warm energy.
The sea drifts you back to shore.
Here,
On the water's edge,
You offer a deep gratitude to the sea for its cleansing,
Allowing you to emerge,
Renewed and restored,
And to the full moon for its forever love.
You hold in your heart the knowing that these cosmic beings are there for you to return to at any time if you so wish.
You begin to sense the room around you,
Remembering where you were before you began this journey.
With your eyes closed,
You can see the color of the walls,
The shape of the windows,
The texture of the flooring,
And the feeling of the blanket that is over you.
Begin to feel into the back of your body,
Into each and every contact point with the floor,
Sensing your chest rising and falling with every breath,
Gently bringing some movement into the fingers,
Into the toes.
If it feels comfortable,
Gently turning your head from one side and then to the other.
Reach your arms and legs away from each other.
When you're ready,
Begin to open your eyes,
Seeing the world with love,
From love,
And through love,
As you are a being of love.
