Welcome into this luminous night with the strength and softness of the full moon in Taurus.
Taurus is the Earth's touch,
The body's wisdom,
The velvet in the night.
Under Taurus's light,
We are invited to remember our worth,
Our pleasure,
Our rooted power and the subtle abundance that lives in soil,
Skin,
Breath.
Settle your body,
Let your bones rest,
Let your breath slow and deepen and let start.
Close your eyes,
Inhale gathering energy and exhale letting go of tension,
Inhale gently,
Keep feeling your breathing cycle as you feel the Earth beneath you,
Feel its solidity,
Its patience and let your connection to that Earth grow,
Root by root.
Imagine that beneath your feet a green gold current of energy moves upward from the deep earth toward your bones,
Your flesh,
Your heart.
That is Taurus's gift to bring the divine into the body.
As this current rises,
It carries all that you no longer need.
It might be scarcity,
Harshness,
Self-judgment or fear of not having enough.
Let all of that drift out through your feet into the Earth to be transmuted.
Now you are going to bring your awareness to your senses,
Knowing that Taurus teaches us that our bodies know more than our minds.
Start by bringing your attention to the air on your skin.
Is it cool or warm,
Still or moving?
Does it whisper softly around you or is it silent and still like a hush from the Earth itself?
Now listen inwardly to the rhythm of your heartbeat,
Feel its steady presence pulsing,
Anchoring and reminding you that you are alive.
Does it beat gently or is it louder tonight,
Reminding you of something you deeply care about?
Lift your awareness to the expansion of your lungs.
Notice how the breath moves in,
Feel the fullness it brings and the quiet emptiness it leaves behind.
Feel the weight and texture of the clothing against your body.
Is it soft like a cocoon,
Loose and flowing or firm and holding?
Let it become a conscious embrace and a reminder that you are safe here,
Now.
Sense the subtle hum of life all around you.
Maybe it's the distant sound of wind or the stillness between sounds.
Perhaps it's a presence more than a sound or a gentle awareness that you are part of something greater.
In the center of you,
In the distance,
You see a sacred growth.
Trees stand tall,
Light filters through their branches.
Bathing the glade in a soft earthy glow,
Feel the grass under your feet,
The hum of life in the soil.
And in the center of the growth is a stone altar.
It looks ancient and grounded.
You approach and you see that on the altar lies a bowl of soil,
Flowers,
Seeds and a lit candle.
This is your altar of value and a handful of soil.
You feel its richness,
Its weight,
Its memory.
Sprinkle seeds into the soil,
Knowing that these seeds represent your deepest intentions,
Your values and your dreams you want rooted.
Place it gently,
A symbol of beauty,
Pleasure and your soft self that you see there.
The flame is a call to your inner fire,
Your embodiment of worth.
Now place your hands over your heart,
Feel the soil in your bones,
The seeds in your breath,
The candles flicker in your chest.
And repeat.
Because I am worthy,
I plant abundance.
I embody pleasure,
Presence and true value.
I release what kept me small and I open to rooted prosperity.
Above and the earth beneath witness you.
Allow yourself to be held,
To be softened,
To be honored.
As the candle flickers,
Let a new image arise in your mind.
It's you.
Stand emanating grace and abundance.
Let it be your vision for what is possible.
A couple of slow and deep breaths.
Flame,
Seal your intention in the material realm and begin to return.
Wiggle fingers,
Roll ankles,
Breathe into your body again.
And when you open your eyes,
Carry with you the knowing you deserve softness and strength.
You can lean into pleasure,
You can root your dreams with trust.
You are grounded.
You are worthy.
You are becoming your own rich earth.
Namaste.
