The new moon is traditionally a time to manifest,
To ask for what we might want to receive.
This new moon we are going to engage in a practice of listening to really allow ourselves to be open to the voice of spirit,
The divine,
However we see or experience it.
The divine knows what is on top of your heart.
You have undoubtedly spoken your desires or needs or wants for this next cycle.
In this practice we trust,
We trust in that divine guidance and we ask the moon,
The beautiful new moon,
For any messages we are meant to hear.
Taking a deep breath in,
Exhaling and letting go,
Surrendering your body to the earth.
As you imagine a beautiful swirl of light creating a container around you,
An ethereal egg encompassing your entire being,
Settle into this cocoon of light,
Come into your breath as you drift away from your human experience,
Moving towards the light of your heart center.
Seeing this beautiful light surround you,
It slowly begins to fade.
You begin to see a beautiful blue glow,
Movement,
Waves.
In front of you,
A cosmic ocean filled with stardust.
The water heaves in and out,
Breathing.
You can feel the sand on your feet.
It is white and soft.
You take your hands and dig them deep into the sand,
Pulling them out and seeing all of these diamond stones,
Beautiful crystals.
The air is still and warm,
Beautiful palm trees line the sides of the sand and the new moon is shining brightly above.
Feel into the connection the moon has with the sea,
The way the sea is ebbing and flowing.
Feel the reflection of the moon on the water,
Letting the moon represent source,
The energy that moves all things,
Just as it nourishes the sea,
Nourishes you.
Begin to walk into the warm water.
As you move through,
You notice a glow,
Beautiful swirls of glowing light everywhere you move your hands,
Your legs.
The sea is alive,
Filled with magic.
Allow yourself to lie on your back as you let the sea hold you,
Staring up at the new moon.
And as you begin to breathe,
On your exhale,
Send out your deepest desires as energy.
Trust spirit knows.
You don't have to think of words or see images.
This is a practice of being where you are,
Trusting spirit.
And as you deeply inhale in,
Pull up the light of the moon through the ocean.
Allow it to cleanse you,
To embody you,
Exhaling,
Trusting your desires are known.
Now set the intention to listen,
To listen to the wisdom of this new moon.
Maybe try to listen with your eyes or with your hands or with your nose,
Using your other senses.
Maybe you are shown,
Maybe you are taken somewhere,
Maybe you do hear a voice.
Just be in this space exactly as you are.
Receive.
Begin to come back,
Taking a deep breath in and exhaling with gratitude.
And as you make your way back to shore,
Standing along the water's edge,
Placing your hands in prayer position right in the center of your chest,
You bow with deep thanks for the sacred space that lives inside of you that you create,
Deeply knowing that you are the moon,
You are the ocean,
You are the divine.
The only separation that exists is in our minds.
Coming back into your body,
Back into the space,
Opening your eyes when you're ready.
