Welcome to this New Moon Solar Eclipse in Leo Meditation.
Find a comfortable position,
Letting your hands rest naturally.
And whenever you feel ready,
You may close your eyes.
Take a slow,
Deep breath in.
And let it leave your body without forcing it.
Again,
A nice,
Big,
Deep breath in.
You and a gentle exhale out.
One last time,
Inhale nice and slow,
Super deep as far as you can.
You And a final sigh it out,
Releasing everything completely.
Now allow your breathing to return to its natural rhythm.
And bring your attention to your physical body.
Noticing where your body is supported by the surface beneath you.
Noticing the weight of your body.
The contact between your body and the ground,
Chair,
Or a bed that you're on.
Now I want you to bring your awareness to the space behind your closed eyes.
Your mind's eye.
And allow whatever appears to appear.
This could be thoughts,
Sensations,
Or memories,
But let each thing come and let each thing go.
Now bring the idea of your identity gently into this awareness.
And allow the following things to pass through your awareness one at a time.
Your name.
Your roles in this lifetime.
The ways that you describe yourself.
The qualities you believe belong to you.
The things that you are known for.
The things that you protect about yourself.
And the things that you hide about yourself.
You Notice one identity that you hold particularly tightly.
See if you can hold it in your awareness without judging it.
And begin to notice what happens in your body as you hold it there.
Don't try and shift what's happening.
But just notice where do you feel it in your body?
Is there pressure or tightness?
Is there warmth or movement or stillness?
And let that feeling sit there allowing yourself to fully witness it.
Now imagine placing that identity in front of you.
And with your mind's eye,
Look at its shape,
Its texture,
Its weight.
Notice any of the emotions,
Memories,
Or thoughts that are connected to it.
Now begin to ask yourself.
Who am I when I am not performing this role?
Who am I when I do not need to prove anything?
Who am I when I am not being perceived?
You Take a slow breath in… And as you exhale,
Allow yourself to loosen your grip on that identity.
Take another deep inhale,
And as you exhale,
Loosen a little bit more.
And now imagine in your mind's eye the night sky above you.
It feels dark yet open and quiet and peaceful.
There's no need to create anything within it.
Simply rest your awareness in that openness.
Let all your thoughts move across it.
Let all your sensations move across it.
Let it all go.
Nothing needs to stay.
And when you're ready,
Slowly bring your awareness back to your body and to the room around you.
Making any gentle movements with your body and your fingers if you need to.
Take a nice,
Slow,
Deep inhale.
You And with a sigh exhale it all out And whenever you're ready,
You may open your eyes.
Thank you so much for joining me in today's meditation and I'll see you next time.
