New Moon Meditation. A meditation for opportunity, Clarity and connection. Finding a comfortable meditation posture or position. You can be seated or lying down for this practice. And once you're there, Allowing yourself to turn your awareness inwards. Allowing the eyes to gently close if this is comfortable for you. And making space for you to tune into the darkness behind those eyes. The new moon is an auspicious time of manifestation, Hope and new beginnings. And you can do this meditation at any time of day. The moon is in the sky whether we can see it or not. From your meditation position we're going to begin to connect in with our breath. To create and cultivate a beautiful grounded position. Feeling the weight of your body where you're sitting or lying. And connecting with a sensation of the breath traveling in and out of the body. Breathing in for the count of four. Pausing, Holding the breath for a moment and then exhaling for the count of four. Repeating this breath for a few rounds, Simply breathing in for four. Pausing, Just retaining that breath for a moment. And then releasing for the count of four. Just allowing that breath to travel. Gently moving in, Gently moving out in this beautiful balanced practice. Using your breath to guide you into the present moment. A moment where you can connect in with the divine and with the moon and with our desires. The new moon is a magical time where we can tune into the darkness. Connect with our ancestral support more easily. A time of transformation and connecting with our shadow. As you sit or lie in meditation. Just beginning to visualize strong roots descending from the base of the spine down into mother earth. These roots stretching downwards through the soil. Through the darkness, Reaching out to offer you support. These roots holding you steady and stable. Helping you to connect down into the soil. Taking a few grounding breaths, Drawing that breath up from your roots and into your body. And beginning to exhale back down into the earth below. Breathing up from the roots. Through that body, Then exhaling back down into mother earth. The new moon is a time where the moon is invisible. This dark veiled time gives an opportunity to connect in with and tune into our hopes, Our dreams and desires. So that we can then bring them forward into the light and into reality. So visualizing breathing in a cool, Calm breath. Cool, Silvery light. This light surrounds you. It travels down like a mist from above. A cool, Divine, Feminine support and energy pouring down from the moon above. See this silvery light surrounding you. Traveling in on your in-breath and cleansing and clearing your being. This is a time to release the past and an opportunity for a new cycle and a new start. Bringing to mind anything that you no longer wish to carry into the next moon cycle. And allowing the silvery mist to transform and transmute and release all that is no longer serving you. Feel the cool mist traveling around your body from the crown down through your throat. Over your shoulders, Your chest. This cool mist washing down over your belly, Through your pelvic area. Washing down through your legs, Your knees, Your shins. And all the way down to the toes. This mist giving you an opportunity to cleanse and clear and start again. To pave a new path. A new way of being. You take some deep breaths, Feeling into your body now. Sensing clarity, Opportunity, And the chance to start afresh. As you sit in this space connected with your roots into Mother Earth and the divine, Silvery light of the moon. Where is the universe? Guiding you this moon cycle. What intentions lie in your heart space? Tuning in, Allowing yourself to trust any guidance you're currently receiving. What goals and dreams do you wish to cultivate this new moon? Allowing any ideas and seeds to flow and flourish in your mind, Within your body, Within your soul. Just breathing, Being, Allowing, Connecting to this new moon and your desires. Gifting yourself this quiet space to tune in. And ask, What is it that I dream of? What is it that I desire? Allowing any answers to flow and trusting that you will be guided in this new cycle ahead. Trusting you will be aware of any synchronicities and signs that show up on your path. Breathing deeply, Knowing you will be guided towards the right people, In the right places, And the right action. Allowing yourself just to sit for a moment. Sit in that stillness connected to that silvery beam, That silvery mist. Breathing, Inviting this fresh start energy into your body. Exhaling, Feeling those roots deep down into the earth. You're slowly going to be guided back to the present moment. You may wish to journal anything that arose for you in this meditation, Or equally you can trust that your intention and your connection to the moon and mother earth will be enough. Breathing deeply and fully. Giving thanks to mother earth, Thanks to the moon. Placing your hands over your heart space, Taking a few breaths here in and out through the heart. With each breath gently smiling, Stretching, Welcoming the breath. Bringing yourself back to this moment, This time, Knowing that all is well. With so much love and new moon blessings from my heart to yours, Namaste.
