Meditation & The Moon {waxing moon}

This week, the moon is waxing. She is adding a sliver of light every night. We also see this experience mirrored in our meditation practice.
We begin by simply settling into the present moment, and then, we add more light and deeper awareness by incorporating non-judgment into our practice.
In our daily lives, the waxing moon is typically an ideal time to brainstorm, to plant seeds of creation, and to initiate new projects. Without doubt, one of the most vital elements of the creation process is the ability to suspend judgment. In a brainstorm, everything is allowed. No idea is bad. We explore all the possibilities.
So too with our meditation practice.
Thoughts, feelings, daydreams arise, and rather than push them away or argue with them, we simply say, “welcome.”
Or better yet -
“This is what is happening right now. I wonder what will happen next?”
When we stop saying no; when we soften the armour around what we can’t feel or won’t feel, is it possible that there is wisdom waiting for us?
Join me for today’s discussion on the waxing moon and non-judgment; I share a real life example of this tool being incredibly useful in my own eco-anxiety fears, and then we will share in a 20-minute guided meditation practice.
