Welcome to Harvesting Tranquility,
A meditation for the waning moon.
Before we go into the meditation,
Just a reminder that this meditation is part of the course,
Moon Aligned Productivity,
Overcoming Overwhelm and Enhancing Focus.
If you'd like to learn more about how to harness the cycles of the moon,
Then please check that out.
Right,
Onto the meditation.
So it's time for you to find a quiet place to be and to make yourself comfortable.
And that's to be done in a way that makes sense to you if you're comfortable sat cross-legged or in a chair,
Or you prefer to be laid back and relaxed in bed,
Or on the sofa,
Or on the floor on a yoga mat.
I really don't mind.
It's up to you.
It's up to you to find what's right for you.
That's pretty much the message in everything I teach.
So once you've made yourself comfortable,
Once you've maybe switched off that phone to make sure it's not going to disturb you and that you're not going to be disturbed by anybody else,
I'd like you to start with some slow,
Soothing breaths.
These breaths are to help you cultivate a sense of peace,
A sense of readiness for what's to come.
And as you're enjoying those slow,
Deep breaths,
Just gently close your eyes.
We close our eyes in meditation to just bring some immediate peace.
No distractions,
Nothing that you need to notice.
Or take care of right now.
This is a time for you.
A time for you to take care of yourself.
So focus now on that breath,
Noticing the air going in and leaving your body.
Maybe it feels cool on the way in and warm on the way out.
Breathing in through the nose,
Deep down into the body,
And then exhaling through the nose or mouth,
Whatever feels comfortable to you.
Feel the surface that you're resting against.
Feel your body sinking into it.
Enjoy that restful feeling.
Like a heaviness or a lightness,
Maybe.
Just tune in to how that feels for your body.
Now,
Allowing your imagination to come to life.
Imagine yourself in a beautiful,
Lush garden where all your efforts have grown into fruitful results.
Imagine everything growing,
Everything lush,
Everything ready to be harvested.
Imagine everything you've created during this last cycle of the moon,
This last round of different moon phases.
Feel the joy,
Feel the gratitude,
See the abundance of everything that you have brought to life.
See yourself picking those fruits,
The fruits of your labor,
The fruits of all the energy you put in over the last month.
See the abundance you've created.
Isn't it amazing?
Enjoy the process of picking,
Looking at every single thing that you harvest,
Holding it in your hand,
Feeling the energy of it,
Feeling the gratitude to yourself for the completion of those tasks,
For getting those things over the line,
For getting them finished.
Notice that not every single thing you pick seems to be absolutely perfect,
But pick it anyway,
Knowing that it's ready just exactly as it is.
It does not have to be perfect,
But it has to be ready.
And right now,
These things are ready.
These things are ready for you to harvest so you can move on to the next phase.
Do not fear,
They don't have to be perfect,
But see how they are ready,
Ready for you to pick,
Ready for you to harvest.
Of course,
You may notice some little tweaks and things you would like to change,
Some bits of refinement to complete every one of your creations.
But see yourself doing this calmly and effectively without it needing to be perfect because,
Of course,
That is an illusion.
There is no such thing as perfect,
But there is everything you have put your energy into which is ready to come out into the world right now,
Ready to be shared,
Ready to be presented to the world out there,
A time for your authentic message,
Your authentic creation to come into the world.
Connect to the sense of peace that comes with letting those things go out in the world,
Knowing that they do not have to be perfect,
But they have to move forward.
You have to move forward.
Greet each moment,
Each part of the harvesting process with appreciation for this cycle that you've been through,
The cycle of growth,
And see this as a preparation to step into the next phase,
To transition into the next phase.
See yourself completing your harvesting process in whatever way makes sense to you,
And then see yourself resting.
Knowing that the next phase of the moon is that new,
Gentler phase,
A time for rest,
A time for recuperation,
A time for relaxation.
Take a moment now to feel a deep sense of gratitude for everything you've created,
Knowing that you now deserve this period of rest,
This period of relaxation,
Ready to enter the next cycle full of energy,
Ready to go through the cycle of the moon again,
Creating through every phase in exactly the right way for you.
See yourself resting.
And now choose now to come out of this meditation,
To step into that harvesting time for you,
To step into the completion of things,
The refinement of things,
Or to stay and rest.
Perhaps right now it's time for you to rest,
And that's okay too.
So if you're ready to move on with your day,
To complete those tasks,
To finish those things off,
Then it's time to open your eyes and carry on.
But if you're ready to rest,
You can stay put and rest.
Take care and lots of love.
