Welcome,
Dear soul.
My name is Natalie and I want to welcome you for this guided meditation for the new moon in Cancer.
Take a moment to settle into your space.
Allow yourself to gently arrive with your body,
Your breath and your awareness.
This meditation is dedicated to the tender and intuitive energy of the new moon in Cancer.
A time to come home,
Not just to a place,
But to yourself.
Find a comfortable seated or lying position.
Perhaps,
Light a candle,
Wrap yourself in something soft or hold a crystal that brings you comfort,
Like moonstone,
Rose quartz,
Clear quartz.
This journey is here to support you in going inward,
Feeling what's alive in your heart and planting new seeds under the soft,
Watery moon of Cancer.
Close your eyes if you haven't already and begin to follow your breath gently.
No need to change it,
Just observe.
Inhale,
Feel the air enter your body and exhale,
Feel your shoulders soften.
Now,
Inhale deeply through the nose,
Hold for a few seconds and exhale slowly through the mouth.
Let's do this together two more times.
Inhale,
Hold,
Exhale,
Letting go.
Last one,
Inhale,
Calm,
Hold and exhale,
Release.
Now,
Feel your body relaxing into the earth.
Imagine a gentle wave of water washing over you,
Cleansing any tension from your body and softening your thoughts.
The Cancer new moon brings us into the realm of the emotional,
The intuitive and the sacred feminine.
Cancer is the sign of the mother,
The home,
The womb and our deepest need for belonging and emotional safety.
Under this new moon,
You may feel extra sensitive,
Nostalgic or even vulnerable.
Others around you might also be craving comfort,
Connection or retreating into their shells,
Just like the crab that symbolizes Cancer.
This is a moment for emotional resets,
To tune in,
Nurture yourself and care for what's fragile or blooming from within.
It is okay to feel more than usual,
Let your emotions guide you,
Not drown you.
This is a time to ask,
What makes me feel truly safe?
What part of me is ready to be held by me?
And where do I need to forgive and soften?
Now,
Let's plant a Sankalpa.
A Sankalpa is a heart-filled intention.
A Sankalpa is not a wish,
It's a sole promise.
It's a present tense statement that aligns with your deepest truth.
I will give you five examples that you can choose from or use for your own inspiration.
I will repeat every Sankalpa twice and at the end you can choose one that feels most aligned with yourself or combine what you've just heard.
I allow myself to receive love exactly as I am.
I allow myself to receive love exactly as I am.
I create space in my life for rest and nourishment.
I create space in my life for rest and nourishment.
I am safe to express my emotions.
I am safe to express my emotions.
I trust my intuition and honor my inner wisdom.
I trust my intuition and honor my inner wisdom.
I nurture myself the way I would a loved one.
I nurture myself the way I would a loved one.
Now take a moment to feel into your chosen Sankalpa and repeat it gently in your mind.
Plant it like a seed within your heart and let it take root.
Now let's begin a journey through the body.
Gently bringing your awareness to different parts,
Awakening your energy centers.
There's nothing for you to do,
Just let my voice guide you.
Now bring your awareness first to the crown of your head,
Your forehead,
Right eye,
Left eye.
Your nose,
Your cheeks,
Your jaw,
Your throat.
Right shoulder,
Upper arm,
Elbow,
Wrist,
Right hand,
Thumb,
Second finger.
Third finger,
Fourth finger,
Fifth finger.
Left shoulder,
Upper arm,
Elbow,
Wrist,
Left hand,
Left thumb,
Second finger,
Third finger,
Fourth finger,
Fifth finger.
Now bring your awareness to your chest,
Your heart center,
Your upper belly,
Lower belly,
Right hip,
Thigh,
Knee,
Ankle,
Foot,
Big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
Fifth toe,
Left hip,
Thigh,
Knee,
Ankle,
Foot,
Big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
Fifth toe.
The back of both of your legs,
All the way to your lower back,
Upper back,
Right shoulder,
Left shoulder,
Your neck,
The back of the head,
The crown of your head.
Now sense your whole body glowing softly.
Feel held and supported.
Now let's go for a chakra visualization journey.
And let's align each energy center with the nurturing energy of this new moon in Cancer.
Bring your energy to the base of your spine,
Your root chakra.
Now visualize a glowing red light.
Feel the earth supporting you.
And repeat internally three times,
I am safe.
I am safe.
Now bring your intention to your lower belly.
Just underneath your navel,
The space of your sacral chakra.
And see an orange light swirling.
Feel the waters of your creativity and emotions.
And now repeat three times within,
I honor my feelings.
And now bring your awareness to your solar plexus chakra,
Just above the navel.
Imagine a golden light radiating here.
This is your power center.
This is your passion,
Your fire.
And repeat three times within,
I trust myself.
And now bring your awareness to your heart chakra at the center of your chest.
Now visualize a soft green or pink light.
And allow it to expand.
Whether it's green or pink.
And repeat three times within,
I am love.
And now repeat three times,
I give and receive love freely.
I give and receive love freely.
And now bring your awareness over to your throat chakra at the base of your throat.
And imagine a blue light glowing here.
Feel your truth wanting to be spoken.
Maybe you feel the need to swallow.
And if so,
Just do this.
And repeat three times within yourself,
I express myself with clarity and compassion.
I express myself with clarity and compassion.
And now bring your awareness to your third eye chakra between your eyebrows.
And imagine a deep indigo light glowing.
And this is the center of your intuition,
Your inner knowing.
And repeat three times within yourself,
I am love.
I trust my inner wisdom.
And now bring your awareness to your crown chakra on the top of your head.
And imagine a violet or white light pouring down.
This is where you are connected to the divine,
To the source.
And now repeat three times within,
I am guided and supported.
And now imagine all those lights showering your entire being.
You have this white light from your crown chakra,
The indigo light in between your eyebrows.
The blue light on your throat chakra.
A soft green or pink at your heart chakra.
A golden light just above your navel at your solar plexus chakra.
An orange light just underneath your navel.
And then a red light at the base of your spine.
And just bask in this luminous energy and stay here for a few quiet breaths.
And if any emotions come up,
Welcome them.
Let them flow.
And maybe one light shines more than the other.
Just encourage every chakra to be present in this meditation.
To shine.
And you can imagine them as turning wheels.
Energy wheels in your body.
And then slowly,
Slowly bring your awareness back into your body.
Wiggle your fingers,
Your toes and roll your shoulders.
And take a stretch if it feels good.
Stay with your eyes closed but bring your awareness back in your room.
In this moment.
And carry the softness and the clarity of this journey with you.
Now place your hands on your heart and repeat your sankalpa one more time.
And before we end this practice,
I want to share with you three tips to work with the Cancer New Moon energy.
First,
I would like to invite you to create an emotional safety ritual.
Make it a weekly habit of checking in with your feelings.
A journal,
Voice record or talk with someone safe.
Let your emotions breathe.
I also want to invite you to redesign your space for nourishment.
Make your home or one corner feel like a sanctuary.
Add a soft blanket,
Remove clutter,
Place a candle or a flower.
Make it sacred.
Have your dedicated sacred space within your home.
And then lastly,
Reconnect with your intuition.
Each morning or evening,
Take a moment of silence and place your hand on your belly and your heart.
And ask,
What do I truly need right now?
And this is the way you will see which path you should be taking if you are on the right path and what your intuition wants to tell you.
And then I just want to thank you for joining me in this soft heartfelt space.
May the energy of the Cancer New Moon guide you gently inwards,
Helping you feel held,
Heard and healed.
Come back to this practice anytime you need to return to yourself.
And if this meditation supported you,
Please consider sharing it with someone you love,
Leaving a review or subscribing for more soul-aligned journeys.
With all my heart,
Until the next time,
Namaste.
