Thank you for joining me today.

It's a wonderful time to go a little bit deeper into what it means to be a part of creation,

This wonderful cosmos that we are a part of.

I call this relationship the macrocosm and the microcosm,

So we are reflecting very much that which is a part of all and everything,

Creation itself.

Here on this earthly dimension there is a meaningful connection to that which we experience as life,

And this meaningful connection reveals to us a more spiritual dimension to our experience.

This is the purpose of the transmission.

It is a communication from the depth of your heart,

Revealing to you the wisdom and awareness that is constantly in a state of presence,

But that perhaps because of the empowering light of the new moon is much more present on the level of experience.

This new moon alignment communicates to us in a way that touches a depth that is now being revealed to us in many different ways.

Take your time now to connect to the heart,

The essence of our being,

Maybe placing the palms of your hands onto the heart area,

And in stillness receive wisdom,

Receive awareness of this lovely new moon alignment.

In this heartfelt awareness,

Bring your focus inwards.

Move to a place that is deeper than the periphery of your thinking process or your emotional process.

Reflect on the new moon from this depth,

From this awareness.

Invite awareness deep within the essence of your being.

In this heartfelt way,

Recognize that we are finding ourselves at this moment in this place of stillness,

Where the universe seems to hold its breath,

Inviting us to pause and to listen.

Notice as we pause and listen more deeply that we recognize the gap in between the in-breath and the out-breath,

The space of awareness that is often forgotten when the mind is attached to the mundane busyness of everyday life.

In stillness and from this heartfelt awareness,

We recognize that this is a sacred moment,

A sacred time.

This is a sacred time.

Be aware as you breathe in and breathe out,

As you align yourself with the flow of the breath,

The cosmic breath.

Be aware where the veil manifests itself between the seen and the unseen,

The known and the unknown.

Notice that this veil now is almost transparent,

That in a very intuitive way you recognize the sacredness of time,

The beauty of this moment.

This moment is precious,

And this becomes obvious when the heart reveals to you that this moment is so much more than what you're thinking,

Even what you're feeling.

This moment is full of potential,

And your heart is like the ever-beating compass within the very core of your being,

Sensing,

Feeling,

Connecting to the shift that moves us from the mundane,

The shift that brings us back to the sacredness of this time.

And notice how the energy then gets amplified,

The energy that allows the heart to whisper wisdom in a clearer way.

Notice and be present to the whispering that is deep within your heart,

Calling you to awaken to the sacredness of this time.

It is especially important to recognize that within stillness,

The whispering voice of your heart is clear,

And in this tranquil stillness,

We are drawn inward.

It is not that the outer experience of the mundane world is useless or unimportant,

But as we move inwards,

We're guided to explore the depths of our own hearts,

And it is this alignment with your heart that helps you to see the light within.

It is this luminous light deep within that mirrors the awareness of potentiality.

Despite the darkened sky that is very much the space that the new moon manifests itself within,

The new moon is the mirror,

Acting as a mirror,

Reflecting not only the light that helps you to see through the shadows,

Through the darkness of confusion,

Not only the light,

But also the truth,

The truth of your feelings,

The truth that very often we as humans keep hidden even from ourselves.

Understand that the truth sets you free,

And freedom is such a gift.

It is the gift that humanity was given by consciousness,

By divine presence and consciousness within all and everything.

When we accept this gift in a heartfelt way,

When we open up to our truth,

Then we are embodying a possibility,

The potential to soften,

To be more loving,

To allow the layers that we create within our structure here,

This ego-mind structure that we've built around our hearts to fall away gently and even become vulnerable in this vulnerable state.

It's not that we fall into fear of the past or the future.

It's not that we get caught in the ego-mind's control mechanism,

But rather we rediscover what it means to express fully love,

The compassion,

The loving-kindness towards ourselves that allows for forgiveness to flow more freely,

More purely.

It is not easy to be open and vulnerable to the deeper communication within.

Often as we embrace this sensitivity,

We feel as if we're not able to move or flow through in a way where we embody the wisdom,

The love,

Rather than connecting or being limited by the fear and the difficulty and the challenge.

If this is the case,

It is essential to remain grounded and mindful of the energies that create the state of mind that is very much what helps us to remember our hearts,

The state of mind,

The state of being that can ground us in a more mindful and aware way so that we're very clear as to what energies we absorb.

Now,

This doesn't mean that we have to go around and be fearful of energies around us because the heart reveals to you in every moment of your experience that we are grounded in love.

And it is this remembrance that is essential.

To be grounded in this remembrance is what helps us to be mindful and aware so that our state of mind,

Our state of being is one of pureness.

Deep breath all the way down into your abdomen.

Anchor yourself within this present moment and remind yourself that this anchor grounds you,

Connects you to the potentiality that is manifest here on this earthly dimension but also on the spiritual dimension.

Remind yourself,

Despite the storm that you may be experiencing here on this earthly dimension,

Despite the heightened emotional waves of the new moon that can very often be overwhelming,

You carry the potential for profound self-realization,

Liberation within you.

And it is this that is being revealed to you.

It is this that is being mirrored so that you can recognize,

Despite the confusion,

You can recognize that everything has a purpose.

And as you recognize the purpose of your experience,

You reconnect to the wisdom,

To the clarity that is very much the communication,

The learning of such.

It is a wonderful celebration of life to acknowledge the learning and to embody this learning so that despite all and everything,

Despite the storm,

You recognize that you are in this moment transcending the limitations of the ego mind.

Be reminded that sensitivity comes as you expand your awareness.

An attribute of ascension is this increased sensitivity that very often happens during and around the time of the new moon.

But also be aware that expanded awareness is very much the gateway that opens up a clarity of understanding within your heart and what your heart is truly communicating.

And this is important.

What is your heart communicating to you?

Step back when overwhelmed by the chaos,

Overwhelmed by the experience here on this material dimension.

Step back,

Take a deep breath,

And be present to the communication of your heart.

This subtle message,

The many messages that are revealed to you,

Are often what we ignore in our everyday life experience of this mundane world.

Despite our forgetfulness,

Our sleepy state here on this earthly dimension,

These subtle messages are very persistent.

They remind us,

They nudge us to awaken,

Not to the forgetfulness that is very much the paradigm of today's world,

But in a way where we begin to sense a warmth,

A tingling warmth deep within.

And this tingling warmth becomes more pronounced,

More real.

And it's almost as if this warmth invites us to feel nurtured by our inner truth and guides us to this newfound freedom that becomes obvious on the material dimension in ways that we need to remember and be mindful of.

You may notice synchronicities,

You may notice special revelations in your dreams that highlight to you that you are in the process of transformation,

Ascension,

Transcending the ego mind and recognizing a new language.

Because it is very much the case that your emotions,

Your deep emotions,

Very complex,

Sometimes chaotic,

But they are a language.

And once we understand this language,

There is no way back.

Once we awaken to our truth,

There is no way back to the old paradigms that control us,

This idea that is very much a part of humanity's history.

We are evolving by listening to the language of the heart,

By being present to the language of the heart.

The attribute of communication is creating a space of nurture so that this expanded awareness of what it means to be present to the heart's way of communicating with us helps us to recognize the signals,

The subtle signals that reveal to us the spaces where healing is needed,

Where our attention is needed.

Because as we bring our focus to those spaces deep within,

As we nurture the language of the heart,

And as we focus more clearly beyond the egoic mind and deeper within,

Our love and attention celebrates the meaningfulness of this language that is being communicated to us.

And often this language communicates to us through emotions and feelings,

And deciphering this emotional feeling language can be very challenging.

Deep breath,

Breathe deeply into the abdomen,

Hold the breath in awareness and then breathe out.

Let go of the challenge,

Let go of the difficulty.

Simply be present through the attributes of patience,

Openness,

And a willingness to observe and to recognize perhaps the past traumas and past anxieties that cloud the emotional space.

And go deeper into the energy of communication that's hidden very often in between those spaces,

The traumas and the anxieties.

So as you decipher the language that your heart is opening up to,

Despite the challenge,

Your focus is patience,

Openness,

And a willingness to go deeper.

And as you put this into practice,

You will notice the gentle light of introspection supported by the wonderful alignment within the universe,

Within the cosmos of the new moon,

Will help you shift through the emotional chaos that so very often is a part of our subconscious.

The heart is freed of such emotional clutter when we begin to discern the truth within our hearts or messages,

When we begin to unearth the pure and profound messages within the feelings that are beneath the surface.

Even though this process is not easy,

It's deeply healing.

Being present to your heart in this way is such a gift.

You're supported as you receive this gift,

This gift from the cosmos,

The ability to discern your heart's core message,

Your core messages.

And as you open up and listen more deeply from deep,

Deep within the stillness,

The essence of your being,

Know that transformation through healing,

Even if not obvious to the mind,

Is happening.

This is the journey back to your true self.

This is the journey where you reconnect with your heart's innate wisdom.

It is a process of evolution,

And it takes time.

To push yourself or to struggle creates a motivation that is far removed from the heart's innate wisdom.

To struggle,

To push yourself to reach a goal of healing,

Is the opposite of being still,

Of not pushing yourself,

Not struggling,

Not being caught by a motivation that's driven by needs once,

By pain,

Suffering,

By the need to change things in a certain way.

Your true self is the light that is shining bright within you,

This luminous light that is revealing to you how to embrace joy and happiness,

How to adopt an optimistic outlook and to live your life with love and compassion.

From within this clarity,

You are invited to embrace love and compassion.

Remember,

The new moon is a time for reflection,

But also it's a time for being clear and open about your intentions here on this earthly dimension.

Remember,

It's not about wants or needs.

It's about what supports your journey.

Ask yourself,

What intentions would support my journey in a way where my wants and needs are secondary,

Where my focus is here in the present moment,

Opening up to the divine presence in all of creation and being guided by the light of consciousness?

What are my dreams?

What are my desires coming from within this depth?

How do I nurture this aspect of my being in my practice,

In the steps that I take every day,

In the actions that I choose to create every day?

What are the steps?

What are the actions that bring me close to the whispering that happens deep within my heart so that I can be present to the real,

The truthful,

The meaningful,

Rather than to the busyness of an ego mind?

Remember,

As you set intentions in this way,

You're planting seeds,

Seeds that grow,

Seeds that support you here on this earthly dimension.

Deep breath,

Breathe in,

Hold the breath in awareness,

Breathe out,

And acknowledge deep within you the sacredness of your practice.

In this sacred space,

Let us all embrace the fullness and the meaningfulness of our emotions.

Let us trust in the wisdom of our hearts and step into the presence of love with love and compassion as our guiding light.

We now come to the second part of the transmission.

This is the ritual,

The meditation that you can practice later on today,

In the evening especially,

When looking deeply into the sky above.

Notice the wisdoms of this transmission being revealed to you in the stillness of this awe,

This wonderful openness to the natural rhythms and the natural frequencies of the cosmos.

What you need is some sort of cleansing tool of your choice.

This can be what I use,

Which is the essential oil of frankincense or sage,

Or something that you feel helps you to cleanse the space around you,

The space that is your environment.

Also what would be useful to have is a bowl of water that you place outside so that the water,

Which is a beautiful element that receives the energy of the new moon and is present to you in a very obvious way,

And also a pen and paper so that you can journal your experience so as to remember what this ritual is all about,

The remembrance of the subtle,

The remembrance of that which is very often hidden in between the spaces.

You can place your bowl of water on the ground.

If you are doing this at home,

Just near your window so that the energy of the new moon connects to the water,

Which is a symbol of purification,

And the moon with its purifying energy manifests its frequency within the water.

Remember,

The purifying energy is magnified by you cleansing the energy system of your body,

Cleansing the area around you,

So your home,

The energy within the space that is your environment.

You can do this by,

For example,

Placing a few drops of frankincense onto the palms of your hands and wrapping them together and moving the palms of your hands around the cranium,

Around wherever you sense tension or constriction.

So any part of the body that may be constricted or tense being cleansed by the movement and flow of energy that you bring to that area through the palms of your hands.

It may be helpful to affirm consciously through words these affirmations from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet.

I cleanse myself of the subtle divine light shining within the cosmos.

With ease,

I release all negativities and heavy energies that no longer serve my purpose,

My presence here on this earthly dimension.

I let go.

I release.

I forgive.

I surrender to divine presence.

As you put this into practice,

As you affirm through your intention,

Through your words,

What you're doing,

Notice how the energy of your body is restored,

How the energy within you is renewed.

Notice how the mind becomes more clear,

More peaceful,

And how the heart begins to communicate to you in a loving and nurturing way.

It is important to nurture the subtle communication that's being revealed to you.

Make sure you're comfortable.

Take a few deep breaths and feel the serene energy of the new moon,

Of the cosmos.

Take time now to reflect on your life,

To reflect on how you're being guided.

Close your eyes and visualize.

Imagine a portal opening,

A portal that reveals to you subtle,

Beautiful light shining through you,

Through every little cell in your body,

Through every atom that is your physical structure here on this earthly dimension.

Notice the positivity that's being revealed to you.

Notice the joy.

Notice the happiness.

It's subtle,

But be sure to align your intention with this revelation.

Take time.

There is no rush.

If you feel inspired,

Write down that which is being revealed to you,

Even if subtle.

Just make sure that what you're writing down is not your wants or your desires,

But more that which is already present in your life.

The transformation has already happened.

Be clear,

Be specific in what you write.

Make sure that that which you are communicating through your journaling is a blessing,

Is an affirmation of the beauty that is within life.

Since you have written a few wisdoms into your journal,

Take time to sit in stillness,

And you may wish to affirm consciously,

Either in an audible way or a silent way,

That you choose to see your life through the lens of love,

Not through the past or the future,

But through the presence of the divine love that is in the here and now.

And when you sense this communication touching the depth of your heart,

In gratitude,

Say to yourself and to the cosmos,

Thank you,

Thank you,

Thank you.

Spend a few moments in quiet reflection in this state of gratitude as you feel gratitude for the new beginnings that you're inviting into your life.

Be still.

Then,

When ready,

Touching the water in the bowl and bringing this wonderful element,

Water,

Which is a symbol of truth,

Bringing this to your heart and placing the palms of your hands onto the heart area and sitting for a few more moments in stillness,

Thanking the divine presence,

Thanking creation for the blessings and guidance that you will receive.

And as you do this,

Your ritual is complete.

New moon blessings to all of you.

Thank you for joining me today.
