My name is Natalie and I want to welcome you to this full moon meditation.
Take a moment to find stillness,
Whether you're lying down or sitting comfortably.
Let your body soften and bring your awareness gently inwards.
This full moon in Scorpio brings with it powerful emotional waves.
Scorpio is ruled by Pluto,
The planet of transformation,
Death and rebirth.
During this full moon we are asked to look beneath the surface,
To sit with what is hidden and to explore our inner depths without fear.
You may feel more introspective right now.
Perhaps you're also more sensitive than usual or you feel the urge to confront something that's been lingering below the surface.
A memory,
An emotion or an old pattern.
There is more sensitivity in the collective,
So be gentle with yourself but also with others.
This full moon is here to help you purge,
Release and transform.
Old stories,
Limiting beliefs or emotional baggages that you've outgrown and that are ready to leave.
But just like a snake shedding its skin,
Letting go can feel vulnerable.
Scorpio asks us to go through that vulnerability,
Not around it and to trust the process of renewal.
So let's plant the seed of transformation with a Sankalpa.
A Sankalpa is a short,
Clear,
Positive intention from the heart.
I will repeat five Sankalpas two times.
Choose one that resonates with you or feel free to create your own.
I release what no longer serves me.
I release what no longer serves me.
I trust the process of transformation.
I trust the process of transformation.
I am safe in my emotional depth.
I am safe in my emotional depth.
I embrace the truths of who I am.
I embrace the truths of who I am.
I allow my past to transform into wisdom.
I allow my past to transform into wisdom.
Now gently repeat your chosen Sankalpa in your mind three times.
Feel it land in your body like a quiet anchor.
Now bring your awareness to your body.
We'll journey through each part,
Inviting softness and presence.
Nothing for you to do,
Just listen to my voice and let your breath be natural and easy as we begin.
We'll start with the right side of the body.
Bring your attention to your right hand thumb,
Index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
Pinky,
Palm of the hand,
Back of the hand,
Wrist,
Forearm,
Elbow,
Upper arm,
Shoulder,
Right armpit,
Right waist,
Right hip,
Thigh,
Knee,
Foot,
Chin,
Calf,
Ankle,
Heel,
Sole of the foot,
Top of the foot,
Big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
Little toe.
Now bring your awareness to the left side of the body.
Left hand thumb,
Index finger,
Middle finger,
Ring finger,
Pinky,
Palm of the hand,
Back of the hand,
Wrist,
Forearm,
Elbow,
Upper arm,
Shoulder,
Left armpit,
Left waist,
Left hip,
Thigh,
Knee,
Chin,
Calf,
Ankle,
Heel,
Sole of the foot,
Top of the foot,
Big toe,
Second toe,
Third toe,
Fourth toe,
Little toe.
Now bring your awareness to your back of the body.
Right shoulder blades,
Left shoulder blades,
Upper back,
Mid back,
Lower back,
Sacrum.
Now to the front of your body,
Lower belly,
Navel,
Solar plexus,
Your heart centre,
Right collar bone,
Left collar bone,
Your throat,
Your jaw,
Your mouth and open your mouth slightly and let your tongue relax.
Right cheek,
Left cheek,
Right nostril,
Left nostril,
Right eye,
Left eye,
The space between your eyebrows,
Right eyebrow,
Left eyebrow,
Your forehead,
Crown of the head,
And now feel your entire body as one complete connected field.
Breathe into that wholeness,
Nothing to fix,
Nothing to change,
Simply be.
And now visualize yourself standing in front of a grand stone archway.
It's dusk and a deep indigo sky glows down with the light of the full moon above you.
You feel her presence,
Magnetic,
Ancient and wise.
You step through the archway and find yourself walking down a path lit with soft moonlight.
The earth beneath you is warm.
You walk slowly,
Peacefully,
Guided by your intuition alone.
Ahead of you appears a small temple carved into the rock,
A Scorpio temple.
It's a place of mystery,
Depth and healing.
You step inside.
The air is cool,
Still,
Sacred.
At the center of the temple there is a pool of water,
So still that it acts as a mirror.
This is the mirror of your inner truth.
Sit before it,
Gaze into the water and allow yourself to see.
Not just your reflection,
But all that you carry.
Maybe an old story emerges,
A wound,
A relationship,
A truth you've avoided.
Whatever arises,
Witness it.
Stay present with it.
Let it be there without judgment.
And then,
When you feel ready,
Offer it to the water.
Then,
Whisper your letting go and watch as the image softens,
Dissolves,
Transforms.
In its place you begin to see light,
A new version of you,
Empowered,
Lightened,
Aligned with your truth.
Trust this vision.
Let it land in your heart.
Now slowly rise and walk back through the temple.
And as you step outside,
You feel something has shifted.
You are no longer the same.
You carry something quieter,
Clearer,
Stronger.
You bow to the moon.
You bow to your own courage.
Now take three deep breaths.
In and out.
In and again in.
And take a moment to really feel what came up.
And then slowly,
Slowly bring your awareness back to your body.
Bring your awareness back to the space you are in.
Bring your awareness back to the temperature in the room,
The noises in the room.
And be aware where your body is touching the floor,
The yoga mat,
A pillow or a cushion.
And start introducing some micro movements into your body.
Maybe this looks like opening and closing your hands or moving your feet from one side to another.
And then gently,
Whenever you are ready,
Bend your legs,
Bring your knees into your chest and roll over to one side and using one of your hands as a pillow for your head.
And while you're lying there in fetus position,
Take a moment to thank yourself.
Thank your body for all it's doing on a daily basis.
And thank yourself for this time.
And before we close off,
I want to give you three practical tips to use to sculpt your full moon energy.
Write a release letter.
Take a piece of paper and write down everything you're ready to release.
Then safely burn or bury it,
Allowing the ritual to support your letting go.
Cleanse your physical space.
Scorpio is about energetic hygiene.
Clear your home,
Take a salt bath,
Burn herbs like sage,
Rosemary,
Palo santo and make room for the new.
And have courageous conversations.
Speak your truth.
It doesn't have to be dramatic,
But it should be honest.
Scorpio values raw and real connections.
And then slowly,
Slowly,
With the help of your hands,
Try to remain with your eyes closed.
Push yourself up into a seated,
Comfortable position.
Repeat within yourself,
I am safe in my transformation.
I am worthy of my truth.
I am ready to bloom from the inside out.
And then inhale deeply,
Filling up your chest and belly with air.
And we're going to end this practice with one awe.
And then gently bow down your head,
Open your eyes,
Look at the floor first,
And then gently come back to this space.
I'm wishing you a lovely day ahead.
Until the next time.
Namaste.
