Listen to Amaris read this contemplation during Zephrym’s Moon Muse Music Mix here:
———- OPENING MEDITATION ———-
When Mother Moon is hidden in the shadows, she reminds us to turn inwards
to release tensions from the external world and center into the heart.
The New Moon in Aquarius prompts us to visit the hidden realms of the mind.
She invites our souls to explore the element of air in its most concentrated form.
When the light on the Moon begins to grow, where will you direct the attention of your mental powers? Where attention goes, energy flows. Training of the mind is an ancient Sage discipline of cultivating concentration.
For a moment, bring the attention of your mind onto one single focus point.
The focus point is the sensation of breathing. Breathe through your nose and focus on the sensations of air passing in and out of your nostrils.
See how long you can keep the full attention of your mind on that one single sensation.
When your mind becomes distracted, where does it go?
How long has your mind wandered before you notice it?
If you can observe the actions of your mind, then what part of you is observing?
The New Moon in Aquarius directs the soul towards mastery of the mind. The Dark Moon invites us to let go of our worry and tension through each exhale as if a black toxic smoke is leaving our bodies to dissolve into the nothingness. In this process of emptying, we make room for wisdom, invention and evolutionary ideas.
The Dark Aquarius Moon Mother cares deeply about the human race – about our collective evolution as a team. She sees each of her children as unique individuals – each with special gifts to contribute to the whole. She understands that all living things are connected through a universal web of energy and the actions of one affects the mission for all. She loves to see us working together to help one another and being kind to one another.
She is the Mother of Invention, Cultivator of Community, Architect of Systems.
She is the Mad Scientist, Eclectic Witch, The Nostalgic Humanitarian.
She believes in the human race when no one else does. She will not give up on us. She is here to activate our minds toward better solutions and our hearts toward one another.
Welcome the energy of new potential through the Fixed Air of Aquarius New Moon.
———- CLOSING MEDITATION ———-
Take a moment to come back to the sensation of breathing.
Bring the attention of your mind to that single point of focus.
The potential of the human mind is far greater than what we are currently utilizing.
There are solutions to our problems. Solutions we can implement right now.
We can start with how we use our minds as individuals, paying attention to what we spend time thinking about, who we choose to connect with and how often we practice kindness. These are stepping stones to a brighter future for the human race.
There is a way to use the mind to raise vibrations and access multiple dimensions.
This is a big part of what makes us human.
If we can liberate ourselves from separation due to such things as age, race, sex, class, politics or religon – we can more easily recognize that we are all special players on a global team. As the waxing Moon builds in energy, what part will you play in the dream of our Aquarius Moon Mother? Every small step towards a positive mindset will make a difference.
With harm to none and love towards all,
With great respect for the New Moon Mother
And the Fixed Air signature of Aquarius
We traverse together in mind and soul with the increasing energy of the waxing Moon.
with love, Amaris
