Welcome, This is a full moon meditation that I wrote that can be done during any full moon to support you in releasing and letting go of what you no longer need to carry and you can come back to this practice anytime you're feeling ready to create space and to reset and to return to yourself. So I invite you to find a comfortable position and take a deep breath and allow yourself to arrive. So whether that's laying down on a mat with your blanket or sitting up nice and tall with your spine long and feel the surface beneath you holding your weight feel the steadiness of the earth receiving you there is nowhere you need to be nothing that you need to do in this moment simply be here and if you haven't already just begin to close down the eyes and notice your breath not needing to change anything but just simply observing and begin to deepen the breath slightly long steady inhales through the nose and slow unhurried exhales out the mouth allow any areas of tension in the body to soften the jaw the shoulders the belly and the hips let gravity hold you up here begin to sense the room around you even with your eyes closed see if in your mind's eye you can notice the four corners of the space that you're in the walls the ceiling above you the floor beneath you almost as if you could zoom out and see yourself resting here being the observer still and supported and safe and now begin to notice sound the subtle sounds inside the room the soft hum of air maybe even the rhythm of your own breathing and perhaps you begin to notice sounds farther away outside your space wind or distant movement a plane or a passing car let sound anchor you in to the present moment this noticing this listening this gentle awareness this is presence this is awareness and presence is where healing happens presence is where clarity forms and if at any point your mind begins to wander or thoughts arise about your day your responsibilities or the future simply notice them and there's no need to push them away in fact you can even imagine that there's a clear glass of water right in front of you and every thought every worry every plan and every memory is like a tiny speck of glitter dropping into the bottom of the glass and you don't need to remove these thoughts this glitter you don't need to stir it up you simply allow it to settle and as you breathe the glitter slowly sinks and the water becomes clearer and quieter and still and if visualizing feels difficult simply sense the feeling of water settling from disturbed to calm to clear and throughout this practice if you have trouble imagining simply feel it in your heart and notice that feeling in the body returning back to your breath take one slow nourishing breath in and as you exhale feel yourself sinking deeper into ease now gently bring your awareness to the space between your eyebrows right above the base of your nose your third eye and from this place imagine yourself standing in a wide open field at night you are a bare foot on lush cool green grass and the earth feels alive beneath your feet the temperature is perfect not too warm and not too cool and a soft breeze brushes your skin above you a vast night of stars stretch endlessly overhead and hanging in the sky is a full moon feel this moonlight washing over you let it move through your body like a warm current moving up through your feet your legs your belly your throat your face and the crown of your head watching it wash over you and your whole body clean of tension and heaviness and stuck energy and in the distance you notice a fire it is calm and contained and steady and you feel drawn toward it and you begin walking slowly across the field toward the fire with the moonlight guiding your every step and when you arrive you stand in front of the flames and this fire represents anything you are ready to let go of old stories old identities patterns fear grief doubt or shame expectations that no longer fit and you may see images in the flames or you may feel sensations in the body maybe you even sense some emotions rising and whatever appears fully welcome it feel it and as you gaze into the fire you simply say to yourself this is no longer mine to carry this is no longer mine to carry and suddenly you sense a presence behind you a loving presence protecting energy may feel like an ancestor or a guide a loved one or just pure support and you feel a gentle hand begin to rest on your right shoulder and this presence tells you you are safe you are held and you are not alone take a slow deep breath in and as you exhale allow what you're releasing to move out of your body and into the fire and notice the flame getting bigger and bigger and as you exhale again inhale and exhale releasing it's safe to let go it's safe to be held and then a soft rain begins to fall a cool and cleansing and gentle and the rain hisses quietly as it meets the flames and steam begins to arise and the fire begins to slowly shrink smaller and softer until only glowing embers remain and then eventually ash and the rain continues to wash over you washing over your entire body cleansing and soothing and renewing and the rain begins to slowly stop and the presence behind you fades away slowly their work complete and you are left standing in the moonlight with your palms open and just receiving receiving and feeling all of the emotions feeling lighter and clearer and more open look up at the full moon and feel your heartbeat feel the blood moving through your veins you are alive you are here you are beginning again allow any message or word or feeling to rise allow anything to come up in this moment simply receiving and take one deep breath in and gently exhale and begin to sense your physical body the places where you are touching the ground the weight of your limbs and the shape of the room around you and as you begin to relax slowly wiggle your fingers and your toes and stretch your arms overhead maybe roll your neck side to side and move in any way that feels nourishing begin to sit up if you are laying down and come up to a seated position rest your hands on top of your heart and then bring your hands to prayer and begin rubbing your palms together creating warmth and energy and then place both palms over your heart feeling the heat and feeling your own presence and silently acknowledge and repeat to yourself I choose to show up I choose to heal I choose myself take a final slow breath in and a gentle exhale out and when you're ready you can softly blink your eyes open
