Find below the paywall, 4 short seated meditations to listen to at each juncture of the 4 primary phases of a lunation.
These short practices are minimal time commitment, for maximum time awareness. Stay in tune with the orbits that orient us in time and you will become closer to your dreams, to your loved ones, and to the you you wish most to be.
I have gathered all four meditations together after the paywall for my paid subscribers — including some commentary.
The Lunation, Described - a poem
This whole process begins with the New Moon, - the dark moon - which lasts only for a moment, then the Intermediary Phase of Waxing Crescent begins. Those middle phases are but a process - the moon’s journey between - and then the next phase is achieved, First Quarter Moon. Half lit by the sun, And almost as soon as it lands, it passes onward to Waxing Gibbous, - not a circle and not a crescent, but a shape in process, until we see the whole round ball of it with its cratered face. And just then a corner is turned And the waning begins, through gibbous to Third Quarter Moon and through crescent, getting ever smaller, and smaller, until finally to New Moon. And the whole thing begins again.
