For this meditation we are embracing the energy of the dark moon and we are preparing ourselves to birth the new moon energy as well.
You can be lying down,
You can be sitting,
Just making sure you're comfortable,
That's the most important thing.
I always say if you've got some nice aromatherapy oils or if you've got some nice candles,
Maybe a nice eye pillow to pop over your eyes,
Anything that makes you just feel held,
Especially with this dark moon energy,
It's all about nourishing and supporting yourself.
Okay,
So however you're resting,
Take a deep breath as we embrace the dark moon energy and preparing to move into the new moon energy.
Instinctively allow your hands to rest on you where they're drawn to rest and it may be it's a part of you that is physically or emotionally needing that touch and that healing.
And if your eyes are open and it feels comfortable to,
Close your eyes.
Take a deep breath in through the nose,
Hold just for a moment of time and softly release through the mouth and inviting the breath to settle into a slow and rhythmic flow.
With each inhale,
Feel yourself being drawn into a deep still space,
The grounding and dark energy of the dark moon.
Imagine that you are resting beneath a vast starlit sky and the cosmos stretching infinitely before you,
Above you,
A sacred void,
The place of endings and infinite potential.
And as you breathe,
Acknowledge the physical sense of release as the breath comes out of the body.
And let this be a gentle and loving reminder to set free with every exhale,
Any fears,
Any old patterns or limitations and allow them to dissolve into the darkness transmuting into stardust.
With every exhale,
Feel yourself lighter,
Freer,
Letting go.
Now under this starlit sky.
Visualize yourself stepping into a sacred cave illuminated by the gentle flickering of ancient torches.
The cave represents the depth of your own subconscious,
The hidden wisdom within you.
Allowing the flickering of the flames to guide you deeper and deeper into the sacred cave and you come across a pool of still dark water.
Kneeling beside it,
You look to your own reflection.
Notice if you can see an image of yourself,
Maybe of a younger self.
It may be just one aspect of your face,
Your eyes or teeth,
Nose.
And then ask your higher self,
What am I ready to leave behind?
What parts of me no longer serve my growth?
Spend a few moments here in contemplation.
And if thoughts,
Emotions,
Memories rise to the surface,
Acknowledge them with love.
And then allow them to fade into the darkness of the water.
And when you are ready,
Step away from the pool,
Feeling lighter and more at peace.
Now you are ready to deepen the release and you walk further into the cave.
You notice a small fire burning in a sacred circle of stones.
In your hands,
You now hold a symbolic object that represents that which you wish to release.
It could be a fear or a belief or a situation that has weighed you down.
Take a moment to infuse this object that you're holding with all that you are ready to let go of.
Now gently place this object into the fire with love.
Watch as the flames transform it into light,
Dissolving its hold over you.
Feel the weight lifting from your body,
Replaced by a profound sense of freedom and clarity.
And the fire crackles softly,
Whispering its promise of renewal.
Now in this deep stillness,
A single spark of light appears in your heart.
This is the fire of Aries,
The divine ember of new beginnings.
With each inhale,
The light grows,
Spreading warmth and vitality through your body.
It ignites your inner strength,
Your passion,
Your truth.
And as the light expands within you,
Visualize yourself stepping out of the cave and into a vast open field just before dawn.
The sky is dark,
But on the horizon,
A sliver of golden light begins to rise.
The first light of the new moon.
With each breath,
The golden glow strengthens and illuminating your path forward.
Now in front of you,
Imagine a powerful doorway that's bathed in celestial fire.
This is the gateway to your next chapter.
And as you stand before it,
Set your intention.
What is it that you truly desire to step into?
What emotion,
What dream,
What transformation,
What calling within you is ready to be embraced?
And when you feel ready,
Take a deep breath and step forward.
Walk through the doorway as you close your eyes.
Cross the threshold.
Feel the rush of energy,
The exhilaration of a new beginning.
You are renewed.
You are empowered.
You are bold.
Allow these following affirmations to radiate within every cell of your being.
You can say these silently.
You can say them aloud.
I release what no longer serves me with love and with gratitude.
I release what no longer serves me with love and with gratitude.
I embrace new beginnings with courage and with trust.
I embrace new beginnings with courage and with trust.
I am the creator of my life and I step forward with confidence.
I am the creator of my life and I step forward with confidence.
My dreams are worthy of pursuit and I am capable of achieving them.
My dreams are worthy of pursuit and I am capable of achieving them.
I trust the divine timing of my journey.
I trust the divine timing of my journey.
Take a deep inhale now,
Anchoring these intentions into your heart.
Feeling gratitude for this journey,
For the lessons learned and for the path ahead.
When you are ready,
Deepen the breath once more and gently and lovingly guiding your awareness back to the present moment.
Wiggle your fingers.
Wiggle your toes.
Wiggle your ears.
And when you feel ready,
You can open your eyes gently.
However,
If you are in a beautiful place of rest and nourishment,
Then continue to be there.
And each and every one of us carrying this renewed energy as we step into this new cycle ahead of us.
Namaste.
