Endings And New Beginnings (Free Meditation)

New beginnings can only happen when we tie up loose ends. Today we have a New Moon and a Total Solar Eclipse. Eclipses are seen as a symbolic portal for rapid and explosive growth as they bring profound change, both internally and externally. New Moon’s and Solar Eclipses are associated with new beginnings, and this one is a biggie as it’s a Total Solar Eclipse. Therefore it’s more impactful, and as such, it will give us an extra boost of energy to help with our growth and transformation.

‘South Node eclipses (unlike North Node eclipses) are connected to clearance of karma.  “What goes around comes around”.’ Astro Butterfly Astrology

This eclipse happens to be a South Node Eclipse. Our south node reveals the unmet challenges and gifts we’ve carried from previous lifetimes. While it tends to be linked to our karma, where we reap what we’ve sown, it can also be linked to payouts, and as such we may experience our greatest achievements and recognitions at the time of a South Node Eclipse. They also show us where we’ve become locked into our comfort zones and as such highlights the qualities we need to move beyond. So, while this New Moon and Total Solar Eclipse represent new beginnings, the fact that it’s a South Node Eclipse means it’s also a time of letting go. Hence, this is an excellent time for endings and new beginnings.

Setting The Tone

The moon has long been associated with our subconscious desires and our emotional lives. Whatever emotional state we’re in at the time of the New Moon will set the tone for the month ahead. It’s worth pointing out that on December 21st we have the Winter Solstice and the Winter Solstice will carry forth our intention for the six months until the Summer Solstice. So whatever intention we set on December 14th this will flavour the energy that will be brought forward for the next six months. So, choose wisely!

Creating The Vibration

This meditation is a very powerful exercise to do as it helps us experience now what we want to create in the future. This allows us to resonate energetically with what it is we want to manifest in life. The Law of Attraction attracts back to us whatever it is we resonate with in the first place. Focusing intently on what we want to manifest helps bring it to the forefront of our conscious awareness. When something is in the front of our mind, it helps focus our intention and better direct our actions. It also helps us become more aware of and able to act on the inner guidance we receive and, the golden opportunities that may present themselves that help us manifest our desires into our realities.

Journal Your Experience

When you feel ready, open your eyes. And from this peaceful heart centred place, journal your experience. Write down in as much detail everything that came up for you, even if it doesn’t make sense. Note any fears or emotional responses but don’t feed into them. Most importantly of all, get a sense of the new vibration of your intention and sense how good it feels to resonate with this energy.

Practice, Practice, Practice

Repeated use of affirmations in a meditative state can help to reprogramme the mind. The more you focus on your intention, the more real it becomes. We really do need to allow ourselves the time to be the change we want to be, but, in the meantime, act like we have what it is that we’re affirming. It takes repetition to change our affirmation from being a statement to becoming an undeniable belief. There’s a well-known phrase ‘fake it till you make it’. But remember it takes repetition, repetition, repetition to build the new pattern.

Most importantly of all, enjoy the transformation – blissful.
