The Moon's Guidance Tea Ritual - Day Four

You stand at the edge of the night garden,

Where shadows and scent mingle.

The earth still hums from the new moon's dreaming,

And above you,

The faintest crescent glows,

Shy,

Silvery,

New.

It's a time of becoming,

Of first light returning,

The moon does not rush her rebirth.

She grows with patience,

With grace,

And with quiet confidence.

And she whispers to you,

Begin again,

Softly.

Let your light unfold in its own rhythm.

You feel her gentle pull on the tides within you,

Your blood,

Your emotions,

Your intuition.

Everything is drawn toward balance.

The stardust of moonlight flits across your path,

Dusting your skin with pale shimmer.

Some of the dust touches your heart,

And a stillness settles there,

Cool,

Steady,

Full of promise.

The moonlight becomes your mirror,

Revealing not what you should be,

But what you already are,

Luminous in your becoming,

Perfect in your unfolding.

You rise like the moon,

Soft,

Radiant,

And whole in every phrase.

And as you prepare your tea today,

Move slowly,

Reverently,

As though you were brewing moonlight itself.

Let the steam curl upward like lunar mist,

Circling your face and softening your thoughts.

With your first sip,

Imagine silver light entering your body.

With your second,

Release all need to rush,

Let calm flow through you.

On the third sip,

Feel gratitude for this chance to begin again.

With the fourth,

Breathe deeply,

Feel your inner tides align with the moon's rhythm.

On the fifth sip,

Open your heart to subtle intuition,

That quiet knowing that guides beneath your words.

And with the final sip,

Smile,

You are in rhythm with the night sky.

Rest your cup now,

Let the silence shimmer,

The new moon smiles in your reflection.

Dark to light,

You softly grow,

In moonlight peace,

Your heart will glow.

With every phase,

You find your way.

You are the moon,

Renewed each day.

And carry this peace with you,

Like a quiet bloom within.

Namaste.
