Hello and thank you for joining me for this new moon meditation in Aquarius.
This new lunar cycle is really centered around revolutionizing our lives.
It is also a lunar new year for those celebrating and this year really focuses on protection and wisdom and I think similarly to the new moon in Aquarius it's an opportunity to tap into our inner wisdom to reinvent ourselves by removing layers of conditioning and breaking free from stagnation and really working to attain liberation.
So as you find a comfortable seat with your hips slightly elevated or maybe you wish to lay down on your back with a pillow or blanket under your knees I invite you to get comfy and warm to maybe soften your gaze or close your eyes and as we embrace this new energy and this new start just take a moment to pause to connect to your breath which allows you to connect to yourself.
In this meditation we're going to explore the Ujjayi breath which is a breath in and out through the nose.
So if you'd like to join me now take a big deep inhale through the nose and then exhale out through the nose and again a nice long inhale really elongate that inhalation through the nose and then extend that exhalation out through the nose.
Maybe you hear that slight hum at the back of your throat that ocean noise feel the healing power of the ocean feel the healing power of nature.
As I sit here in my garden I am nurtured by nature by the breeze the wind flowing through the trees and the birds with their morning song.
So really take this moment to pause to notice to observe just let your thoughts come and go.
As you take stock this is an opportunity a moment of introspection really going inward and during this time of release rest restoration it's an opportunity to explore a new or different path as you also rejuvenate regenerate and revive.
During this new moon in Aquarius things are being shaken up quite a bit there's chaos uncertainty and destruction but this destruction allows us to move away from stagnation and is an opportunity for rebirth.
It is an opportunity to navigate the complexity by working on our ability to really embrace the unexpected with faith.
So as you take your next inhale really feel that positive fresh air and energy drink in that morning sunshine.
As you exhale just release any stagnation any negative energy.
On your next inhalation feel that breath that energy as it moves throughout your body as you invest in yourself.
What do you need or crave to show up as your authentic self?
This is a time to shine a light on your uniqueness your passions your purpose your vision and your values and to notice what aligns with these and to release anything that does not serve you or that does not align.
Although it is way easier said than done I invite you on your next inhalation to let go of anything that you cannot control.
Maybe you would like to repeat this affirmation with me if it works for you.
I let go of anything that I cannot control.
So on your next exhale really sigh it out release shake it off let all of your worries anything you can't control melt away into the earth and as you continue to drop into this meditation this moment of pause and reflection just be find peace in the presence in this present moment and as you continue to savor this sacred rest I would like to share a new moon affirmation in case it resonates with you that you can either repeat out loud maybe whisper under your breath or just say it in your mind.
I lean into and embrace my authentic self in this time of rebirth renewal and transformation I am patient I have faith and I trust divine timing.
Continue to go deeper inward if you can now using your breath to guide you really use this opportunity to express your unique essence and flair and embrace a curious creative exploratory experimental and innovative mindset.
As you start to maybe bring some awareness back to your body by wiggling your fingers and toes and bringing awareness back into the space once again I just invite you to come back to your breath your breath is your anchor just notice observe how you feel as you prepare to navigate the next moment know that even if it doesn't feel like it you have the ability to face and even flourish through whatever life brings at you.
I hope that you will be able to take it one breath one step and one thing at a time as you navigate the journey that is life sending love and blessings.
Thank you for joining me thank you for making the time acknowledge yourself for showing up for investing in yourself
