 Hello Earth citizens, my name is Courtney, and I'm a brain education instructor in Boston. Today, I want to show you a 10 minute routine that you can use at the full moon to harness your true power and potential. When you follow the rhythm of the lunar cycle, you can make whatever you're manifesting that much more powerful. The full moon is the peak of that cycle. And you may have noticed there's a lot of energy here. Our emotions and feelings can be heightened at this time. Drama might unfold, and life altering moments might take place. But really, it's a time for truth. The moon is shining a light on whatever needs to be seen. This can offer us clarity and can help us release old emotions, allowing for major change to be possible. So please find yourself in a comfortable space, have a seat on the floor or in a chair, and let's get started. Raise your arms up to your sides and stretch your body. Take a deep breath in, hold your breath, then as you exhale, make a prayer posture in front of your chest. Start by setting your intention for your meditation. I wish to harness the creative power of the full moon. I choose to release any emotions that may be holding me back or manifesting what I truly want for my life. On your next inhale, sweep your arms up slowly with your palms facing the sky and again stretch. Lengthen your body and exhale back to a prayer posture. Again, breathe in, imagine light shining down to your palms. Exhale, as if to pull that light into your body. Breathe in, receiving the light down to your palms. Breathe out and pull the light into your body. Breathe in, breathe out. Now, rock your sit bones left and right. Root yourself down to the earth. Take a deep breath in, mouth exhale, and rock with rhythm. Feel your root chakra and the stable energy of Mother Earth. Breathe in, breathe out. Slowly stop, hold out your first two fingers, and then press them down into the earth on either side of you, grounding down to the earth and letting yourself become anchored to this moment. See if you can become aware of the weight of gravity, allowing it to do its job, your awareness settling down to your hips, pelvis, root chakra, you're plugged in to the supportive and nurturing energy of the earth. Breathe in, breathe out. Then press your thumbnail into the tip of your first finger. Rest your palms face up on your knees, straighten your spine. Once again, ready to receive the light. If you can, deepen your breath down to your lower abdomen. The belly expands gently with your inhale and rest softly with your exhale. Feel the fullness of the inhalation and the emptiness of the exhalation. Feel that you are in a loving, safe space and allow yourself to get curious. Can you notice any patterns in your behavior or emotions lately? Any reoccurring thoughts or feelings may signify divine guidance of what you need to change or accept. Acknowledge whatever arises, breathe and let it be. Tell yourself it's okay, I'm okay. Now visualize off in the distance a bright, beautiful full moon glowing radiantly and yet gently down to your body. Feel your connection to this light. There is a nurturing energy here and her light shines into every part of you. Let it illuminate any dark areas of your body. Let it reveal anything that may have previously been unseen. Notice what is coming up for you and imagine the light of the moon washing away energetic debris. From within and around your body, cleansing and lightening your being. Spend a few breaths relaxing and letting the warm, soft light of the moon shine upon you. When you're ready, cup your hands out in front of you and imagine whatever you wish to release is within the palm of your hands. Whatever roadblocks, obstacles, challenges you've been facing, offer them up to the moon. A beam of light shines down to dissipate and dissolve that energy. Anything left behind, you can simply pour out as you release your hands back down. Relax into the freedom of letting go. Breathe and embrace the light and the energy of the full moon. Taking a deep breath in and out. Feel yourself becoming more aware of your body but staying connected to the lighter, freer. Most authentic version of you. One last time stretch your arms up, make a prayer posture, thanking the moon for her wisdom, thanking yourself for making this time. Thank you so much for watching.
