I'm Adriene Elizabeth and welcome to this New Moon Manifestation meditation.
To begin,
Please get yourself into a comfortable seated posture,
Either on the ground or in a chair.
We're going to start with a few stretches to help release stored tension in the body and assist the mind to enter a deeper state of relaxation.
You're welcome to close your eyes now or wait until the meditation portion begins.
Please place your hands on your knees or interlace your fingers behind your head for seated cat cow.
Begin by inhaling gently through your nose and exhaling through your nose.
On your next inhale,
Reach your upper chest and your face towards the sky,
Creating a micro back bend.
When you exhale,
Tucking your chin in towards your chest,
Rounding the back of your spine,
And shifting your forehead towards the ground.
Repeat this process,
Inhaling,
Reaching up towards the sky.
And then as you exhale,
Rounding the spine,
Curling your body inwards.
Make these motions as big or as little as you like.
Just do what feels right in the moment and breathe at your own pace.
Repeat for approximately 4 rounds.
Inhaling out.
And exhaling down.
Make your final movements and then come back to centre,
Elongating the crown of your head towards the sky.
Next,
We're going to move into a gentle spinal twist.
Place your right hand on your left knee and place your left hand behind you for support.
Take a deep breath in and then exhale to just gently twist towards your left.
Gaze goes to wherever is comfortable for you and your neck and breathe gently here for three rounds.
On your exhale.
You can try to shift a little bit further into the twist,
But remember we're preparing for a meditation here so we don't want to go to our full expression.
Take your final breath now and then switch to the other side.
So right hand goes behind you for support and left hand moves to your right knee.
Take a big inhale and then exhale into the twist.
Again,
Take three breaths here.
This should feel very restorative.
This is only a gentle twist.
Let's say around 40% or less.
Think of this like the sliver of the new moon,
Just a tiny twist.
And then come back to centre.
Make any final movements you need here and if you wish to lie down for the remainder of this meditation,
Please do so now.
Wherever you are,
Find your centre,
Elongate your spine,
Drop your shoulders down away from your ears and take a deep breath in through your nose and then release exhaling out through your mouth.
If you haven't already,
I invite you now to close down your eyes.
We're going to start with a pranayama breath called box breath.
In this breath,
You will inhale,
Hold,
Exhale,
Hold,
Each for four counts,
And then repeat.
Here we go.
Inhaling through your nose for a count of 1,
2,
3,
4.
Hold for 1,
2,
3,
4.
And now slowly exhale for 1,
2,
3,
4.
And then hold for 1,
2,
3,
4.
You Inhale for 1,
2,
3,
4.
Hold 1,
2,
3,
4.
And exhale 1,
2,
3,
4.
Hold 1,
2,
3,
4.
And now inhale,
Returning to a natural breath.
Notice how this made you feel repeating this box pattern.
The new moon represents new beginnings.
It is a time for dreaming,
So we can start the process of manifesting our true desires.
Bring to mind the thing that you wish to manifest into your life this moon cycle.
It can be something big or it can be as small as you like.
Just bring this top to mind and visualize already having it in your life.
For this visualization practice,
Use all your senses.
What does it feel like?
Look like.
Sound like.
Smell like.
Maybe even taste like.
Build a picture in your mind,
Imagining that it's already here.
It may feel impossible right now,
But everything begins somewhere.
In the same way that the new moon is only a slither of light in the night sky,
With time it will grow until it reaches its peak as a full moon.
And then it will wane and the cycle repeats.
This is much like manifestation,
A continual cycle of dreams coming to fruition through growth,
Celebration and rest.
So now that you know your manifestation is already on its way to you,
Because you have planted the required seeds,
What does it feel like to have it?
What emotions come up now?
Imagining your dream is already your reality.
How does this make you feel?
Where in your body do you feel these emotions?
Keep breathing and focus on experiencing your manifestation dream as if it's already reality.
Now,
Envision the process of how this manifestation came to you.
From the moment you've finished this meditation,
What happens next?
What actions did you take to help guide this into your life?
What blocks do you need to release?
If you're not sure,
Just ask the moon for guidance and then return to focusing on your breath.
Just be open to any thoughts and emotions that come to you in this moment.
Now that you have a clear picture in your mind of your manifestation and how you're going to turn this dream into a reality,
Repeat the following statements after me.
You can either do this out loud or in your head.
I ask for the power of the new moon to help me manifest my dreams into my life or something better.
By manifesting this into my life,
I will feel uplifted,
Confident and grateful.
Manifesting this will improve my life and ultimately make the world a better place.
I am Bryce.
New Beginnings.
I invite abundance into my life.
I welcome in my manifestation or something better that serves my higher purpose.
Take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale with the knowledge that your highest desires are already on their way to you.
Keep breathing here,
And if you are lying down,
Please keep your eyes closed and slowly make your way up to a seated position to seal this practice.
From your seated position.
Slowly inhale,
Reaching your arms out to the sides and above your head.
Embracing the darkness of the new moon's night sky and welcoming in those faint moon rays to help guide you in your new beginnings.
Touch your palms together overhead and then exhale drawing your hands into your heart centre.
Seal this practice with the knowledge that your manifestation is now on its way to you and the process has begun.
Keep breathing here and focus on your manifestation being your reality.
Then when you're ready Gently open your eyes.
