Hello and welcome to this new moon in Gemini guided meditation.
Before we begin,
I want to acknowledge something.
Your mind might be especially busy tonight.
Thoughts hopping from one to the next.
Ideas that keep fluttering in and things that maybe you meant to do today that are still pulling lightly on the edges of your awareness.
Don't worry about it.
We are in a Gemini new moon.
So that's actually the energy of the sign.
Gemini lives in the mind and it's ruled by mercury,
Which moves very quickly.
So tonight we're not going to fight it.
We're actually going to work with that energy in this meditation.
So when you're ready,
I want you to take a nice big,
Deep breath in as deep as you can,
And very slowly let it out,
Exhaling through your mouth.
And again,
Taking a nice big,
Deep breath in.
And as you exhale,
Releasing any sort of urgency you have.
And last one,
Another very slow,
Deep breath in deliberately choosing for this window of time to only focus on this meditation instead of everything else around you and very slowly exhaling it all out.
When you're ready,
You may close your eyes if you haven't already and bring your awareness to your natural rhythm of breathing,
Not trying to control it,
Just being aware,
Feeling the slight coolness of air that enters your nose and the warmth when you exhale out.
And now imagine that with each exhale,
Your thinking mind is like a room full of voices and someone gently is turning down the volume one by one.
The thoughts are getting quieter.
They're still there,
But they're not as active.
And the room slowly begins to quiet down.
Bring your attention to the top of your head and notice a cool,
Clear light,
Almost iridescent,
Begins to gather.
This is Mercury's light and it moves down your forehead.
And every thought you've been holding there finds a shelf to sit on so you can come back to it later.
Down your eyes and your ears,
Letting go of your unfinished conversations.
You don't have to speak them right now.
Just let them go.
And as the light continues down your throat,
Down your shoulders,
It softens,
Releasing the tension that you're holding on to.
Down through your chest and your hands.
Gemini rules the hands,
So let them become heavy and warm and open.
Down through your belly and your legs,
The soles of your feet.
And as the light moves all the way through your body,
It's created a peaceful stillness.
Begin to visualize in your mind's eye that you are in a walled garden at night.
In a medieval courtyard with the sky open above you and old stone walls covered in climbing vines and small lanterns,
Giving the courtyard a nice,
Warm,
Amber glow.
The sky above you is a deep midnight blue.
And since we're in a new moon,
That means we cannot see her,
But you feel her energy and you feel her presence in the quiet and stillness of the courtyard,
Full of everything that hasn't been said yet.
In the center of this courtyard is a long wooden table.
Begin to walk towards it and notice there's a few open books on top.
Pages that seem to know they're exactly meant for you.
Take a seat at this table.
And as you sit,
You begin to feel Mercury's energy.
It's like a current of electricity that runs from the base of your spine up through the crown of your head.
Very quick,
Very bright,
And connecting all the dots.
You are in the courtyard of ideas.
And tonight,
The energy of these ideas is flowing fast.
Gemini's magic is in what we speak out loud to the world,
To the universe.
And Mercury rules the voice.
So tonight,
We're going to plant our seeds for this new moon by speaking them out and giving your voice to them directly.
Think of one thing you want to learn in the next month.
Something that genuinely excites you or that gives you a peak of curiosity.
It could be a skill,
A language,
A subject,
A craft,
Even a version of yourself that maybe you haven't fully examined or studied yet.
And let that come to the surface.
When you have it and when you're clear,
I want you to say it out loud,
Physically speak it in your body and let it pass through your lips so Mercury and the universe can hear it.
Now think of one thing that you want to communicate differently this new moon cycle.
It could be how you express yourself,
A conversation you've been avoiding,
An area where you've been people pleasing because you're scared of the reaction.
And again,
When it's clear in your mind,
Say it out loud.
And now ask,
What do you want to understand about yourself by the end of this Gemini season?
Gemini is the sign of the twins,
Which means that there's two different selves.
There's one that you show the world.
And there's one who's still figuring out what they actually believe when no one's watching.
So what would you like these two selves to know about each other?
And again,
Speak it out loud,
Even if it's just a single word,
Let it out.
Every word you've released into this courtyard tonight is a seed that you have planted.
And Mercury moves very fast,
Which means that these seeds can take root quickly if you let them.
So stay curious,
Stay open,
And pay attention to what starts appearing.
Slowly,
This courtyard in the world around you begins to fade away.
And you bring your presence back to the physical room around you.
It's temperature,
It sounds.
Whatever surface is supporting you below.
Begin wiggling your fingers and your toes,
Taking whatever gentle movements are needed.
Taking one final big,
Deep breath in through the nose.
And sighing it out,
Letting it all go.
This Gemini new moon is asking for your attention and your voice.
So notice within yourself what wants to be learned this month,
What feels like it needs to be said.
And make sure that you communicate it clearly.
Start that conversation and follow your thread of curiosity,
Even when it looks like it doesn't make sense.
I hope you enjoyed this meditation,
And I'll see you next time.
