Transcript
- 0:20Welcome to Mini Meditations. I'm Jennifer James, co host of the Common Mystics podcast.
- 0:27Today's full moon meditation can help you feel your oneness with the rhythms of the natural world and prepare your energy for new phases to come in your life.
- 0:42The full moon symbolizes completion as well as release of anything which no longer serves you on your life path.
- 0:56This full moon meditation can be an incredibly powerful and transformative experience, especially when you're tuned in to the energy of the night.
- 1:10If you can do this meditation outside at night, during the full moon, in the radiant glow of the moon's light.
- 1:21If being outside isn't possible, you may wish to position yourself near a window facing the full moon.
- 1:29Turn off the lights and sit or lie down in the space that is illuminated by moonlight.
- 1:36But if you're doing this meditation away from the light of the moon, that's okay too. You can conjure the energy of the full moon through visualization.
- 1:47Let's take a moment to reflect on the guiding questions of today's meditative exercise.
- 1:56Ask yourself, what is it that I need to release?
- 2:04How can I align more deeply with my true self and purpose?
- 2:17Now, let's begin.
- 2:21Wherever you are, settle into a position that feels comfortable and natural, whether sitting or lying down.
- 2:31And gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
- 2:38See yourself in a peaceful spot under the silvery beams of the moon.
- 2:48Feel the night air brush against your skin as the soothing sounds of the evening wrap around you, creating a tranquil, magical ambiance.
- 3:04Take a moment in this peace, peaceful space.
- 3:08Take in the sights, sounds, smells and feelings as they come to you.
- 3:24Breathe deeply. Inhale through your nose, filling your lungs. Hold for a moment, then exhale slowly through your mouth, letting the tension melt away.
- 3:40Continue breathing in this way, inhaling through your nose.
- 3:46Hold out through your mouth, and as you continue, notice the rhythm of your breath.
- 3:59It connects you to the rhythms of the natural world.
- 4:05With every breath, feel yourself grounding, centering and softening into this sacred moment.
- 4:22Now imagine the energy of the four elements surrounding you, each bringing its unique power.
- 4:34Feel the earth beneath you.
- 4:38Picture roots extending from your body deep into the earth, anchoring you and connecting you to her timeless wisdom.
- 4:51Earth is your foundation, offering stability, transformation.
- 5:02Visualize a gentle stream of water flowing around you, washing away your doubt and any negativity.
- 5:17Water whispers intuition and emotional clarity, helping you flow with the rhythm of life.
- 5:33See a warm flame of fire now glowing within your heart.
- 5:43This is your passion, your courage, your drive to embrace bold changes.
- 5:55Let this flame burn brightly.
- 6:06Now feel the cool breeze of the air gently kiss your skin.
- 6:14Breathe deeply, letting fresh energy fill your lungs.
- 6:22Air stirs inspiration, mental clarity and fresh beginnings as you connect with these elements. Invite their energies to flow through you.
- 6:43See them swirling together, Earth grounding your foundation, water soothing your spirit, fire igniting your passions, and air filling your mind with clarity.
- 7:01Let their power anchor you in the present moment as they awaken your inner strength.
- 7:17Call now upon these energies for their guidance.
- 7:22Keep your heart and mind open as you seek their wisdom.
- 7:29Bring to mind why you are seeking clarity today.
- 7:35What do you need to let go of?
- 7:39How can you align more deeply with your true self and purpose?
- 7:51Be still and trust the answers that come.
- 7:56They may arrive as feelings, images, words, or a quiet knowing.
- 8:06Whatever form they take, welcome them with gratitude.
- 8:38As you breathe, recognize this moment of deep transformation, an opportunity to release what no longer serves you and make a space for new beginnings.
- 8:54Visualize the moon's light pouring over you, illuminating your path and filling you with clarity and strength.
- 9:05Feel its energy supporting your intentions, guiding you towards the changes you're ready to embrace now. Say to yourself aloud or in your mind, I welcome change.
- 9:27I embrace new beginnings.
- 9:34I trust the journey ahead.
- 9:43Take one final deep breath, feeling gratitude for this moment of connection and insight. Knowing the energy of the natural world will guide you.
- 9:59Shift your focus now to your body and your surroundings. Gently wiggle your fingers and your toes. Move your hands and feet, and when you're ready, open your eyes.
- 10:15Return to your day with a renewed sense of purpose as you sense the moon's sacred light and the transformative power of the elements, earth, water, fire and air resonating within you.
