Hi everybody and welcome to another meditation. This one is about our Libra New Moon that falls on Tuesday the 5th and how at this time we are in Mercury retrograde. Mercury retrograde happens three or four times a year and it lasts for about three and a half weeks. Some people are a bit afraid of this time they're like oh Mercury retrograde but there are so many positives to it so many beautiful aspects of a Mercury retrograde that we can utilize and use to our advantage. So retrograde is when a planet turns back on itself so you can imagine a big tank chugging along and then it has to change direction full circle and start heading back. So it's very slow it slows everything down so if you're trying to do something and you feel like you're going against the grain it is really awesome to acknowledge that this could be because of the Mercury retrograde. So it's a time of slowing down for three weeks. If we take this time to reflect on where we are, How far we've come since the last Mercury retrograde or even since the full moon. Regroup, Rest, Restore, The energy is bombarding us at the moment. This is a really good time to rest and replenish our bodies and also we're receiving downloads, Innate wisdom from our higher self and beyond. And also the retrograde does muck with technology so be mindful of our own technology, Our own communication device within us. Stop, Breathe before you react, Think about what you're going to say, Even speak it back to yourself before you say something. We are living in heightened, Intense emotional times. It is of the most utmost importance now and moving forward that we start to really breathe into ourselves, Understand ourselves and stop before we react. Breathe into our own truth, Our own knowing. We have all the answers within. Some technology may switch off or do weird things around the retrograde, This is quite common. Also it is about our thoughts, Our mind. Again, What we're putting out there. The timeline since the eclipse has split, We've got this walk on the road which is widening and widening. You can look at it as 3D and 5D, You can look at it as lower vibration and higher vibration but there will always be a bridge to get to the higher vibration but it is getting a little bit more intense and harder to make that jump. So the way we make that jump is to do meditations, Yoga, Walks, Nice music, Smelling candles, Baths, Replenishing, Restoring and watching our thoughts and where we are headed, Not getting hooked into mainstream. So on that note, Get yourself comfy because this is about sowing new seeds. New means are about new beginnings, A new cycle. It's about letting go of the past. So I invite you to join me in this meditation to take the time for yourself to see where you are at and where in your life that you can sow a new seed or water that seed that you've already sown and watch it grow and nurture it and nourish it and bring it to life. Take a deep breath, Let go of your day, Let go of the past, Let go of the future and be in this moment right now. And as you scan your body from tip to toe, Working your way down in your own time, Acknowledging the pains, The aches, The dis-ease within you and sending these body parts or organs or your blood or your circulatory systems, Your nervous system, Your mind, Sending love, Beautiful rays of golden love through your body. Taking that energy all the way down to your feet and the golden energy that's through your own higher self and your own powerful thoughts, Swirling all the way down to your body, Taking it down through your feet, Through the soles of your feet, Going all the way down, Down, Down through the layers of the earth, Cutting through the rock, The molten, The clay, The gravel, However you see the inside of the earth, Take your golden energy down, Down, Down and connect to Mother Gaia's heart beating in the center of the earth. Imagine your energy could be ribbons, Velvet ribbons, It could be a flow of energy, Ropes, Tree roots, However you see it, Wrap it around Mother Earth's heart, Sending you, Sending your love to her as she sends her love to you, Feeling the oneness and the beauty and the support that she gives you and we draw Mother Earth's energy up from her core, From her heart, She knows who we are, She loves us unconditionally and she sends us everything we need to be grounded, To feel, To experience, To be loved, To be hugged, To be nurtured, To be supported and as we keep bringing this energy up into our body, You may like to see Mother Earth's energy as the earth colors, The reds and the browns, The grounding colors, Even the deep greens, The deep oranges swirling with our gold coming up through all parts of our body into our mind, Flooding our mind with the beauty of Mother Gaia and the beauty of ourselves because we are her reflection. Take this energy up through your crown, Taking it all the way up through the ceiling or if you're outside, Straight up through into the sky, Through the stars above, Through the planets, Through the layers and layers and layers of dimensions, Connecting this golden earthy gorgeous colorful energy to your higher self. Your higher self has all the answers, Has the innate wisdom, Your higher self you may see as your guides, Masters, Angels, Light, Light beings, However you see your higher self, It is all an aspect of you, Yourself and now we are fully grounded and we are fully connected. So let's take a step out of our heavy body and journey together and see yourself lightly stepping through a beautiful green field, Long grass, Yellow flowers, Buttercups, Daisies, All the beautiful yellow hues of the earth and as you feel the warmth of the sun on your face, The fire element of the earth and a gentle breeze over your body, The air element of the earth and in the distance you can hear a stream running, The water element of the earth and under your feet, Feel the warmth of the earth, The earth element bringing them all together, Fire, Air, Water and earth, We are all north, South, East and west and as you're enjoying this picturesque scene where there is so much peace and calm and your heart is filling with so much love, You've let go of all that has been troubling you, All that you have been tapping into lately is dissipating in a single breath, If you find it hard to switch off, Just keep taking some deep breaths and bringing yourself back into your center, Allow your thoughts to drift and then slowly bring your attention back to my voice, Breathing deeply until you feel that space of calmness and as it is a Libra, New moon, Libra the beautiful scales, The scales of justice, Of truth. Imagine before you an amazing monument in your beautiful field and however you have pictured your field, Make sure there is yellow in there, The yellow butter cloves or sunflowers, Corn and dot around whatever you like in your field, There could be other flowers, Animals, Trees, Make it as picturesque as you like and right in the middle of your picturesque scene where you are enjoying the fruits of your creativity, Are some ginormous golden scales of huge proportion, Our Libra balancing scales and leaning against the scales is a golden letter and this letter is beckoning you forward, Beckoning you to come closer, Check out these scales, They're massive, They're amazing and they're here for you on this new moon. Decipher what side you want to climb up onto and decipher what it means if they tip to one side or another when you stand on them and as you are invited to climb up this ladder, Stand on one side of the scales, Now you are fully relaxed in this moment, Open, Open to whatever is presented to you and as you stand on one side of the scales in your mind, Think about your health, Reflect in this retrograde energy, Where are you in your health, Are you at perfect balance, Are your scales balanced out, Are they tipping a little, Would this be to do with your diet, Your exercise, Your water intake, What you are doing in your life, Does your body feel energized or does it feel like it's lacking in something, Just for a moment see where your scales have tipped to and in this new moon energy, Feel into one seed that you could sow, A thought that you could move towards to help improve your health. Now take a step back off the scale onto your golden ladder and allow the scales to gently become even. Step back onto your scale whatever side you chose and as you're feeling this calmness and this love and the support from the universe and the earth, Ask about your relationships, Where are you with your relationships right now, You may like to do it about one person and put them on the other scale, You might like to do it about the friends around you, The relationships that you have, Or the relationship that you have with yourself, Where do your scales tip, Are they tipping truly to one side where perhaps you are the one giving and giving and giving, Or are they tipping to the other side where a hurt someone is taking and taking from you, That your boundaries are weak and could be stronger, That the people in your life may not be connecting to your heart at a frequency where you are at, That maybe the relationship with yourself is that you find it hard to receive, You can help everyone else but it's very hard to help yourself, Take this time and this new moon energy to come really clean with yourself, To delve deep into your truth, No one else needs to know this, Only you and your higher self and your support team and think about one aspect in your relationships that you would love to sow a new seed, That you would love to see the shoots take off lush and green, Where you are able to change that scenario in your life further down the track, Dream big, You deserve it, You are worthy of it, You are of great value, Take a step back off the scales now, Allow the scales to balance back up, Steady yourself and calm yourself and bring yourself back into this moment and take a step back onto the scales and think about in your relaxed state where you are with work or home life or both, You could put work on one side and home life on the other, Is it balanced? If you're not working, If you're in lockdown this would be a hard one but what seeds can you sow when the gates open, The new energy is flooding and the world is changing, The timeline is right there, What is it that you would create in your new life, What seeds can you sow different from your past, Where would you like to see yourself in a few years time, Is your work satisfying you or if you're not working what is it that would satisfy you, If you don't know what kind of work you want, What fills your heart in your home life, What makes you sing and dance and if there is none of this perhaps we could create this now, Sowing a seed that you want more fun time, More dancing, More happiness and joy, These scenarios it doesn't actually have to mean a physical scenario it can be the feeling within your body, What do you want to feel, Is it balanced for you, If it isn't balanced where can you change something, If you can't change it in this moment how can you change it down the track, Sow the seed now, Think big, Think large, Think you are the most important person in your universe, Take a step back off the scales, Allow the scales to balance again, Take a step back onto the scales and in your relaxed peaceful state, Think about your spirituality, Your spiritual life, Spiritual does not have to mean religious, If it is for you of course that is your truth, Spiritual however means a depth to life, A consciousness, An awareness, A knowing, This is what spirituality is, Where are you on your scale, Is it tipped deeply to one side where you make no time to get to know that deeper meaning of life, Perhaps you are in a religion that is tipped too far one way where there might be control or too much dogma for you which could be right for someone else of course but for you in this moment where do you sit in your spiritual life, What aspect of yourself would you like to perhaps change slightly or a lot, Spirituality again can be connecting to nature, Loving and nurturing animals, Understanding what's going on in the world without being attached, Filling your heart up with song and dance, Going for walks in nature and noticing everything around you, Gathering in your community and doing goodness and sharing and caring, Putting your energy into a worthy cause to help humanity rise, Watching where your thoughts are and where they are taking you and the people around you, Connecting deeply to your own heart, Knowing who you are, Knowing your own truth, Deepening your intuition and your belief, Take some time to think about where you are at the moment and sow those seeds. Now let all that go, You might like to come back and reflect on this later but for now step onto your ladder, Climb all the way down, Watch the scales disappear and lie down in this beautiful long grass with your arms and your legs outstretched and with the beautiful yellow sunflowers and the yellow buttercluffs, Could be yellow ranunculus, Daffodils, The freesias, The bolts of the beautiful spring, The new beginnings, Even if you're in a different hemisphere and imagine all these yellows swirling together to make a vortex, A beautiful yellow vortex and see this vortex surround you and you are in this energy of yellow, Yellow representing sunshine, Fun time, Happiness, Intuition, Consciousness and allow this yellow to consume you and make its way into your yellow solar plexus, Chakra which sits a couple of inches above your navel and imagine your yellow chakra is swirling in perfect harmony, This yellow is being pumped through your veins, Your arteries, Your nervous system, Your circulatory systems and into your brain. The yellow is so strong that it clears out the deeper fears within you, It brings in the sunshine, The belief that your seeds that you've sown will come true, They need nurturing, Watering, Remembrance every now and then, They may be changed between now and maybe the next new moon, It might bring up stuff for you to clear in the next cycle of the full moon but that's how we can utilize these new moons and full moons. Lie there bathing in this glorious yellow color, Fun time, Sunshine, Happiness, Joy, Feeling the excitement in this yellow chakra that you have just sown some new seeds for your future, Whether it be near or far, Believe, Trust, Go with the flow, Trust, Go with the flow, Take as long as you need in this yellow glorious sun-baked energy, Receive, Receive, Receive and I'll leave you there for today. Thank you for filling my heart and being a part of my community, Our community, Thank you for taking the time, Sending you a ray of sunshine that encompasses you and surrounds you, With my arms and my heart open and outstretched for you, My beautiful brother and sisters, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. So so so so so so so so so so so
