Welcome to our meditation space.
My name is Maria.
Today I want to share with you a calming meditation to help you unwind and relax under the soothing energy of the moon.
During this practice you'll be introduced to the Vedic mantra Om Chandraya Namaha,
Inviting the nurturing,
Cooling and intuitive qualities of lunar energy into your body and mind.
This meditation is specially supportive during the full moon or new moon,
Offering a gentle way to self-regulate and cultivate clarity,
Emotional balance and introspection.
Om is a sound of consciousness,
Is the sound of creation and is a way to open a sacred space and create a feeling of unity.
Chandraya is a name for the moon and Namaha is a form of honoring,
Of saluting.
So with this mantra we're kind of opening up our connection to the moon,
To the moon energy that is within us and that is also in the sky.
So we'll begin with our meditation.
So go ahead and find a comfortable position.
You can be laying down or sitting down and then just take a moment to arrive.
You can go ahead and bring the hands together and rub them,
Creating a little warmth in the palms of your hands.
And then you can bring the hands into the lower belly.
So in our energy body there is a specific energy center or chakra that is at the lower belly and that energy center is connected to the moon energy,
To the water element.
So creating that connection with the moon energy in your own body,
Feeling the breath,
Inhaling and exhaling,
And gently deepening and lengthening the breath,
Grounding into your body and into this moment.
And then maybe you can choose to keep one hand on your belly and place one hand on your chest.
Notice how you're feeling today and giving yourself a lot of space to be as you are.
You can set an intention for this meditation.
And then we'll slowly begin to move into our mantra meditation.
You can choose to repeat either mentally or out loud.
Chandraya Namaha.
Magnificence,
Enlighten.
Let's do one more round of repetitions and begin to imagine this gentle,
Soothing energy,
The energy of the moon,
Silver light moving through your belly,
Gently softening,
Visualizing this light becoming brighter from the center all around you,
Creating a field of positive energy,
Healing energy.
Imagine yourself bathed in this silver moonlight,
The energy of the moon within you and magnificence.
Begin to deepen your breath.
