Welcome,
Friends.
Welcome to this enchanted journey under the November full moon.
We'll take our time to find a cozy place to rest and let the noises of the world fall away.
Take your time,
And when you are ready,
We may close our eyes and relax the body.
Breathe deeply,
Unhurried,
As we prepare to embark on a guided meditation inspired by the celestial journey of the November full moon,
And perhaps let whispers of hope and light and enchantment carry us together.
The full moon of November may be considered special as a guide,
Guiding us into the month of December when we meet the solstice,
A day when the sun stands still in the sky,
Or at least appeared to,
To our ancient ancestors.
In the northern hemisphere,
This will be the midwinter solstice,
And in the southern hemisphere,
The midsummer solstice,
The shortest day in the north,
The longest day in the south,
A chance to pause and reflect on light for us all.
As we relax and settle into our place,
Let busy thoughts drift away.
There is nothing we have to hold on to too tightly as we drift into the realm of mind and breath.
Under the light of the full moon,
It may be that the full moon shines above us in this moment,
Or perhaps simply within the mind's eye,
And within the mind's eye,
We imagine ourselves standing on the edge of a hidden realm.
The air is cool,
Perhaps the scent of trees or earth fills our senses,
And in the night sky above us,
The full moon hangs brilliantly,
Shining bright,
Casting its silver light upon you.
As you look up to the moon,
Visualise a delicate,
Iridescent butterfly or moth gently emerging from the lunar glow.
This ethereal creature represents hope,
And its wings flutter softly,
Beckoning you to follow.
You are led on a path of moonbeams,
Each step shimmering with gentle light.
You follow through a forest adorned with dew-kissed leaves and sparkling starlight.
The moonlight casts magical shadows,
Revealing hidden mysteries and great beauty.
Whatever our path may look like,
Aware upon it we walk,
Dreams and hope connect us all.
The path leads you now to a tranquil lake,
Where the full moon's reflection dances upon the water's surface.
Gaze upon it,
And let the light fill you with clarity and insight.
The moon whispers secrets of change and transformation,
And in the moonlight's embrace you may envisage any transformation you wish to journey with,
Perhaps letting go of old burdens,
Or welcoming the arrival of new growth,
New ideas.
As the moon gazes upon you,
Feel the past fade away,
Making room for the beauty of the present and all that is to come.
The full moon in its great light symbolises the completion of one phase and the beginning of another.
Your new phases may lead you wherever you dream of.
Inspired in this place of light,
You see now that your winged guide has danced over the water's surface,
Into the edge of the water where plants and trees gently hang over into sparkling surface.
And now they are not alone,
As fireflies emerge to dance.
These radiant little insects represent perhaps a dream or an aspiration,
An idea or a hope,
And you watch with a smile as they twirl and dance,
Lighting up the night with possibilities,
And as you sit with this enchanted cycle of moonlight reflected on water and dancing lights around you,
You feel perhaps the gratitude,
A warmth within your heart.
The magic of the full moon has been bestowed upon you,
An opportunity for enchantment,
Reflection and renewal surround you.
We will take a few quiet minutes just to sit in this place,
To be with the light,
To be with the full moon magic.
This great light is a gift.
As our journey of light comes to a close,
Allow your awareness to gently drift back to your body,
To the room.
Perhaps take a stretch,
Long and luxurious,
And when you are ready,
You may open your eyes,
Carrying with you from this moment perhaps a little hope,
A little light gifted to you by this November full moon.
Wherever we may be in this world,
The moon connects us all in its own way with its light,
And the hope it can offer can be a beacon to guide us all through even the darkest of nights.
I thank you so much for joining me.
A happy full moon to you all.
Farewell for now.
