Aries New Moon And Taking Heart Centered Action

This guided meditation is designed to help you connect with the new moon in Aries.

When the moon and the sun are in Aries,

The energy is brash,

Bold,

And determined.

It's a time where we get clear on what we want,

Where we stand,

And actually taking courageous action towards it.

The beginning of Aries season also marks the beginning of spring,

A time where we take our introspective and informative winter contemplations and really begin to plant those seeds to create what we want.

Because the new moon is happening just at the cusp of the beginning of Aries season,

The energies might be a little slower to kick in.

It might take a bit longer for that Aries fiery,

Bold,

And determined energy to come through strongly.

So you can use this meditation a bit later as well when you really start to feel those fiery Aries season energies coming through.

So getting yourself nestled in a comfortable position,

Either laying down or sitting,

Whatever works for you.

Getting a blanket or pillows and adjusting your spine and your shoulders to get yourself in a position where your body and mind can just feel relaxed and feel at ease,

Where your muscles can really just let go.

Starting off with a few deep breaths to decompress some of the tension that may be present here.

Taking a deep breath in through your nose,

Feeling the air filling your lungs and chest,

And out through your mouth slowly,

Feeling the release of your muscles,

Letting go of the day or the week just for these next few moments.

And taking another deep breath in through your nose,

Feeling the oxygen entering your heart and pumping through the rest of your body with vitality,

Cleansing out toxins and excess weight,

And out through your mouth,

Releasing attachments,

Blockages,

Anything that gets in the way of your sense of ease and flow.

And one last time,

In through your nose,

Inhaling into your lungs and chest,

Feeling it flow through the rest of your body,

And out through your mouth,

Slowly letting go,

Allowing the energy to flow easily,

Clearing out and reconnecting to your own energy,

To your natural rhythm and breath,

Whatever that is for you.

Our hearts are the center points of our being.

It's the midpoint where our higher self,

Our connection to universal energies,

Meet with our human form to find balance between the spiritual and physical world.

It's also the place where we move beyond limiting beliefs of our mind and the conditioning and patterning of our past.

When we connect to the center,

It asks us to heal what needs to be mended,

Guides us in the direction of our soul's calling,

While also encouraging us to take actual action on its guidance beyond the fears,

The anxieties,

The worries that live in the mind.

So when we try to connect with this courageous,

Bold,

Aries,

Fire action-oriented energy,

It becomes really important to connect with our heart center so that we can move beyond the limits,

The conditioning,

And the patterns of our mind,

Beyond the limits of our ego.

So as you breathe here,

Finding your natural rhythm,

Connecting down into your body,

Into your natural energy as it flows through your muscles and bones and ligaments,

Begin to drop down into your heart.

If it helps,

Place a hand on your heart to help the energy focus,

Focusing the energy of your breath on this center as it flows in and out with every breath you take,

Clearing,

Vitalizing,

And expanding.

As the energy builds in your heart,

It begins to spin,

Activating the energy that lives here.

You might find that there's bandages or layers that are peeling off of your heart center as it spins,

Releasing some of the wounds,

Some of the blockages,

Some of the excess weight that may be laying dormant in this center,

Allowing it to activate and energize again.

And as it spins,

The energy grows and expands,

And a bright flower begins to sprout in your heart,

Giving it life,

Giving it energy,

Nourishing it as you focus on this center.

With every breath you take,

This flower blooms bigger and bolder,

With vivacious colors streaming out of its sides,

And begins to expand a bright golden white light through your chest,

Feeling the energy as it grows,

As this center becomes activated.

Breathing deeply into your heart,

Into this energy that grows as it shines through your chest and begins to flow through your body,

Beginning to give that golden light flowing through your muscles,

Through your arms,

All the way into your fingertips,

Your shoulders,

Neck,

Flowing up all the way into your head,

Flowing down into your core,

Your hips and abdomen,

All the way down your legs,

To your feet,

To the tips of your toes,

Feeling the warmth that this heart center of yours reconnects you to your power that you have within you,

The life force,

The energy that lives within you,

The true essence of your being,

The strength,

The courage,

The fire and determination that lives in you,

Pulsing this golden,

Loving,

Compassionate,

Empathetic,

Connected light through you and powerfully glowing through your skin.

This light in your heart,

When activated,

Is your guide.

When you find yourself in a place where your light in your heart shines,

When it glimmers at the thought of doing something,

This is your sign to move forward on it.

When you feel your breath and your heart expand,

This is your heart telling you,

Guiding you back to your soul and back to your spirit.

The mind will often try to scare us off or limit us in its box after thinking of pushing boundaries,

Filling us with anxiety,

With worries about the future,

But if your heart lights up,

If it expands,

If you feel your chest growing at the thought of doing something,

That is your sign to push forward and take action on it.

So with this new moon in Aries being about getting clear on what we want,

What we desire,

What we want to create of our lives,

Where we stand,

And really being able to take action,

Bold,

Courageous,

Determined action,

It requires us to move beyond the mind,

Move beyond limiting beliefs,

Move beyond the fear of the ego,

And that's where our heart center comes in.

That's where the light that shines through our heart when it opens becomes our guide to move through our fears,

Knowing that it's guiding us back to our soul.

So take a moment here,

Allowing your heart center to fully connect.

Reflect on what you want,

What you desire to create in your life.

This is really a time with the arrival of spring where we start to plant and take action on the seeds of our intentions.

And as you reflect about what you want for yourself in the upcoming weeks,

Months,

Or year,

Really see,

Feel,

Intentionally drop into your heart center and see if it contracts or if it expands.

See if it lights up or if it shudders,

Closing down on itself.

See if it starts a fire in your soul or if it feels jaded and dark.

Take a few moments here with your heart center to get clear on what you want and what kind of action you want to take really letting your heart take the lead to have the courage to actually do it.

Remember,

The heart goes beyond the mind.

It allows us to expand out of the confines of our limiting beliefs if we allow ourselves to truly listen to it.

As you come back,

Know that this is a practice you can return to in your daily life.

As you make decisions on which direction to move in,

What action to take,

You can always drop into your heart center and feel the expansion of its light or the dimming of its shine.

It is always a guide that is available to you as you move through taking action past your limiting beliefs and fears,

Connecting to the courage and strength that lives inside of you,

Inside of your soul and your spirit,

Your truest self,

Not only for this new moon but also throughout your life.

As you return here,

It may be useful to write down what came through during this time,

What type of action you decided and committed to take,

And the clarity you gained on what you want to keep yourself connected to it.

Taking one last deep breath in through your nose,

Grateful for this expansion,

This connection and clarity on your next steps,

Ready to take on your goals and desires with confidence and determination,

Leading with the heart.

Thank you for meditating with me.

I wish you the best day and when you're ready,

You can open your eyes.
