 Hello and welcome to this Wolf Moon meditation. It's January the 6th 2023 and a new year is just beginning. The first full moon of 23 and it's the Wolf Moon. The Wolf Moon is named after howling of the hungry wolves that make themselves known to near human settlements going back for thousands of years. The Wolf Moon is visible this evening and in terms of its spiritual meaning it says that there is a greater opportunity for deep self-reflection. According to many astrologers a Wolf Moon can be an emotional time when several astrological cycles are culminating all at once which mean you aren't able to communicate or express yourself fully. Some believe that the eclipse component of a Wolf Moon might lead to tensions in your relationships, arguments, misunderstanding. So if this week you're feeling a little bit wound up if this week you're feeling as if you've been unable to communicate properly if this week you're feeling some forms of frustration then maybe it's all to do with the lunar sky. And I want you now to take this opportunity to bathe in the energy of the full moon, of the Wolf Moon. But it's a time for us to be clear and honest with ourselves about what 2023 really means. Things you'd like to alter or change. Maybe we're already into a period where a lot of people create nearest resolutions. How we can change habits, behaviors or thought patterns. And it's just about really sincerely analyzing where forgiveness needs to occur. Where things we need to change within our lives for us to live that life of service and purpose. Maybe you're already sitting down and just being in the energy of the moon this evening. Maybe you can light a candle if the clouds are dark and we can allow the energy of the candle with the Wolf Moon to be in your space right here, right now. And I want you to sit comfortably as we go into a meditation. Make the most of the time to be able to relax in a place where we're going to be undisturbed. Close your eyes. Just begin by taking some deep, slow and loving breaths in and out. Breathing in and breathing out. Just allowing your body and your energy to settle into this space around you. Feeling the weight of your body on the floor or the chair, the position of your hands maybe there on your lap or by your sides. But allow the natural pull of gravity to help you to relax and let go. To allow you to be truly here right now. And as we breathe in and we breathe out, I want you just to relax all the muscles in your face, especially relaxing your jaw area. Just allow it to fall. And allow your muscles to relax and let go of wherever you're holding onto. And just put all of your thoughts, your worries, your to-do lists aside for this moment. To be in the moment and trust in the light and powerful energy of this full wolf moon. And in this lovely feeling of calm and peace and serenity, I want you to lightly scan through your body and just notice any places of tension that you may have. Where do you feel tight? Where do you feel a nape? Where do you feel a pain? But just allow them to be there, simply observing them as you continue to breathe calmly. And in fact, you can take your awareness down to those areas and breathing and out through them, breathing love and compassion into these areas of tension. And in doing so amplified and coupled with the moon energy, we can feel those tensions releasing. You can feel them just being in that space. Now imagine a powerful white and silver light beaming down from above the crown of your head. This light has a pure calm and loving energy that soaks through your entire being, filling you with light. And I want you to bring to mind all the things that you no longer want or desire in your life, things that you wish to release that no longer serve you. Allow them to linger for a moment in your mind's eye and maybe you can even visualize them as a color or an object, but just see them floating in front of you. And I want you just to say out loud or in your mind, I release you under the light of this sacred and magical full moon. I no longer need what does not serve or empower me. I no longer need what does not serve or empower me. And bring your mind that which you no longer want in your life, things you wish to release that do not serve you. And again, allow them to linger for a moment in your mind's eye if you like you can visualize them again. And you may do this one by one. For any of the burdens or obstacles you wish to surrender. But I want you to say in your mind, I release this unworthiness. I release this doubt. I release this fear and anger. I release resentment. I release judgment. I release envy and compassion. I release relationships and that do not serve me. I release toxic people and situations. And as you say this, imagine each of these things, these habits, these people, these behaviors or thought patterns that you wish to release disappearing into the full and powerful light of the moon. See them dissolve, consumed, floating away into the infinite light of pure goodness. And you can take as long as you need to do this. Just visualize each thing as it's released from your life. And we can release them because we're no longer consumed by the burning, powerful light that no longer serves us. We feel the weight of each burden released. Feel light as a feather as you relax and let go. And I want you just to repeat to yourself under this wonderful light. Under the light of this beautiful, powerful and healing full moon. I release you from the light. I release you from my life with love. I forgive you. I forgive myself for past mistakes. Thank you for the lessons and now I release you. And feel yourself lifted and renewed as the toxic weight of these releases disappear. And you can focus your mind towards a feeling of gratitude, a feeling of deep appreciation for all that you do have that does empower you, that does bring you light. And when you're in this space now of gratitude, set your intentions for what you would like to come in the next lunar cycle. Maybe say to yourself, I welcome all that is now coming to me for my highest good. I look forward to the clarity, the peace, the love, the abundance and positivity that are heading my way. I give thanks for the blessings I receive and I rejoice in their wonder. I give thanks for the gift of my breath, for the gift of my beating heart, for the gift of me. As with these things, I have the opportunity to take and make the right choices in my life that are going to allow me to walk my path with purpose, with love, with compassion, with honesty, with truth. I have the gift to be me. The me that sits inside my highest good, not the drawing that's being put in place but the conditioning of the years I've spent on this earth plane, this moon, this energy, this time, allows you to shed that skin, to step into the new phase, to step into the new year and to step into the highest good, the true version of self. We remain here just breathing comfortably and basking in the glow of knowing your intentions will be made to manifest. Feel them now as if they're already present in your life. Stay here as long as you need in this sensation of gratitude and appreciation and whenever you're ready you can bring yourself back to the room and open your eyes. Enjoy. Stay here as long as you like.
