The new moon represents a time of fresh starts and rebirth. This energy can be a great time to meditate and set intentions for the next month or to release any negative energies that are no longer serving you.
Planting Seeds for Your Garden
New Moon Meditation is a great way to plant seeds in your life, such as dreams, goals, ideas, inspiration, affirmations, incantations and missions or visions. By setting aside some time each month during the new moon, you can consciously create the space for these to grow and blossom into a beautiful garden in your mind and in your physical life.
How to Moon Gaze
If you can, sit outside in a safe spot where you can see the full moon clearly without any distractions. The moon is not as bright as the sun so it won’t hurt your eyes if you stare at it for long periods of time.
When you are outside, slowly open your eyes and take note of the shape, color or other details of the moon that interest you. This can be a very soothing and relaxing meditation practice for you, and it will help to slow your mind down and bring you into the present moment.
You can also use this meditation to ground yourself in the energy of the moon, and to illuminate burning desires or questions that you might have about your life and future plans. This is a very powerful time for you to get clear on what you truly want in your life, and to be honest with yourself about how you feel about it.
