Moon Intention Meditative Space
As always the best place to perform this moon intention meditation is within your meditation space. A clear peaceful space where you can meditate deeply, and free of disturbance. Prepare your meditation space with incense and gentle music if you wish along with a candle. Once your meditation space is set and ready get into a comfortable seated position, and close your eyes.
Monday happens to be the day the Moon rules, signifying intuition and a time to bring about creativity in your work. Obsidian stone represents the New Moon. This is a strong grounding stone and is known as “the protector”. It is said to “mirror one’s soul. This stone brings about objectivity, dis-attachment and is grounding. It reduces fantasy and escapism. Absorbs and dissolves anger, criticism, fear, and therefore is protective. This unusual black stone absorbs darkness and converts it to white light energy. It is a warm and friendly stone, which is used at the Root Chakra, encouraging one’s survival instincts and is grounding. Black obsidian brings higher Chakra light into lower ones; cleanses and uplifts. Changes fear into flexibility with the advent of change.

How do these apply to your moon intention?
Using four black stones, place them in your meditative space, either on you alter or table
OR
on the floor, so that you are able to sit in the middle of them.
You can then use a fifth black stone of your choice, or a master stone (a crystal that is your favorite to work with or one which calls to you.)
Trace the outline of the crystal circle with your master stone (either on the table or sitting within your meditation circle.)
Then place your master stone in the center of the circle. (If it is on your table place it in the center. If you are meditating on the floor, hold it with you – in your dominant hand – sitting in your circle.)
Working with your Moon Intention
If you placed your circle on a table or alter, you can write down your moon intention on a piece of paper then place it under your master stone in the center of the circle.
If you are sitting in your circle, your moon intention is in your head.
NOW, spend time with your circle, intention and your crystals.
NOW, gentle breath work can be done, by breathing in and out. On the inhale, take in your intention… on your exhale, release your moon intention to the Universe.
Spend the time you desire to feel grounded, calm and relaxed. You will know instinctively how much time you need.
When you are finished, you can end with a deep breath, a prayer, a large sigh… or simply open your eyes. Your moon intention has been noted!
