This meditation is best to listen to around the time of the new moon.
Of course,
At the exact time of the new moon is most potent,
But it's also great to listen and tap into this energy about 3-5 days on either side of the new moon as well.
For the next few moments,
Ensure that you are in a space where you can relax,
Free from distractions.
Now let's get into it.
The new moon is a time for new beginnings.
It is a time when the sky is dark,
And it is a fertile time to plant new seeds and call in new intentions.
Through this meditation,
You'll use this new moon energy to plant your own intention for the lunar cycle ahead.
Allow yourself to relax into a comfortable position,
Either seated or laying down.
Relax your shoulders away from your ears,
Soften your breath,
And gently close your eyes.
As you breathe here,
Feel your body expanding and contracting.
Feel the life force pulsating through you.
Feel the energy that exists both within and all around you,
And in particular feel the energy of new beginnings supported by the new moon.
A lunar cycle is around 28 days in length.
The new moon is the beginning of this cycle.
It is a time when the sky is dark,
Void of moonlight,
Yet full of potential.
It is a perfect time for setting intentions for what you want to unfold over the next weeks or months.
During the new moon,
It's a powerful time to connect with your dreams,
Visions,
And your creative imagination,
To visualize what will unfold over the next four weeks and beyond.
Take a deep breath in,
And let it out.
Imagine a field of fertile soil laid out in front of you,
A field where your visions of the future may be planted.
Now see yourself standing there before the field,
And in your hands you are holding a seed of intention that you want to plant.
What intention are you holding in your hands?
Take a moment to feel the potential that exists in that seed.
Now gently place it in the soil,
Cover it a little,
And know that it has been received by the earth.
The energy has been set,
But it's time to nourish that energy over the next days and weeks so that this seed can grow,
And bloom,
And ripen to its fullest potential.
What will you water your seed with over the next days and weeks?
What resources will you use to ensure that your seed can successfully become a seedling,
That it can grow and sprout?
Take a few moments to really imagine yourself watering your intention with what it needs.
This could be time,
Energy,
Focused attention.
It could be trust,
Courage,
Or something else completely.
Feel into what your intention needs.
Now consider the environment in which that seed has been planted,
And how that will also affect its growth.
Does anything in the environment need to change for your intention to thrive?
What in your environment may need to be altered or changed?
What new nutrients do you need to invite in?
And what old weeds do you need to remove?
Take a moment to see how the current environment will either support or hinder the growth of your seedling.
Now start to imagine a time lapse as you move forward into the future.
What does your seed look like after one hour?
One day?
One week?
One month?
Or one year?
It's completely up to you to know when your intention is ready for harvesting.
What is the time frame that you want to set for your intention to bloom into its most powerful and abundant form?
What does your intention look like once it has been realized?
What does it feel like when it's at its greatest potential?
Take a few moments here to see what the future holds.
And remember you will need to keep nourishing your seed.
You will need to support the intention to give it what it needs to ripen into fruition.
After this session today,
You may like to write down your intention so that you can remember it and perhaps even start planning the first few steps that will help you to nurture it.
Know that by spending this time today planting the first seed,
Supported by the new moon,
You have already consecrated the energy of your future.
You have laid the foundation and now it's up to you to support it with your actions,
Thoughts and words.
As you bathe under the new moon in the sky,
Know that your vision and your intention is already working its way to you.
Take a final deep breath in and let that breath out.
When you are ready,
Open your eyes and return to the space around you.
