Celebrate yourself with a joyous meditation and ritual to honor your birthday.

This guided meditation will give you the chance to gently reflect on the past year and consider your hopes for the next one. Then, you will visualize yourself in the perfect place for your birthday party and invite your cosmic family: the seen and unseen beings that love and hold you on this special day. Happy birthday to you!

In this guided meditation, you'll imagine a shield around your body protecting you from any energies you do not need. Invite love and healing for your body, mind, and spirit, allowing you to relax and feel better. This is a great meditation to practice when you feel stressed, overwhelmed, unsafe, or want to help yourself relax before bed.

New moons are traditionally about planting seeds, setting intentions for what you desire. They are not times to take any action—not yet—but rather times to pause, to simply consider what the desires are and see what happens with them as the moon begins to wax toward the full.

Practice this meditation within about three days before or after the new moon. You may like to have a pen and paper handy to write down what you discover.

This meditation will remind you of your connection to Spirit, whether that means a god/goddess, Earth, human nature, or whatever it is that holds you when you feel lost, confused, or broken. Rest in the knowing that Spirit is always with you in whatever form makes sense to you. Use this meditation to reconnect and rest or, if you like, to help you drift off to sleep at night.

If you've been sick, gone through something difficult lately, spent time with someone who left you feeling hurt, or just want to take a moment to clear your energy field of anything that might be toxic to you, this meditation is for you. Imagine yourself in a safe place and allow that energy to flow down out of your body into the earth beneath you. Clear it out, let it go, and feel better.

This guided visualization helps to release negative energy or any other energetic residue that doesn’t belong to you—anything from an overly critical family member to the stressful news cycle. We will imagine a protective sphere that keeps in positive energy and releases what is unwelcome. This meditation is excellent if you are feeling exhausted, especially if you are a caregiver, have a friend or family member going through something difficult, or if you just feel like you need to retreat from the chaos of the outside world.

This simple meditation will help calm the mind, connect to the body, and offer healing and energy to your own heart through breath and visualization. It is excellent to practice anytime you are feeling exhausted, depleted, sick, injured, or just need a little self-love. This is also a lovely practice to fall asleep with to help calm your mind and welcome sweet dreams and healing rest.
