The new moon has been known to the associated with new beginnings, growth and an opening of possibilities for deep transformation. It is considered by some to be a powerful time for intention setting, goal or target manifestation, and starting new projects.

The darkness of the new moon represents the fertile ground both within the mind as well as energetically in the environment. The ground is fertile for new ideas, plans and opportunities to take root and grow. It is a time to reflect on what you want to create in your life.

This meditation allows you to create space in your life to set your intentions and make plans for the future so you can live the life you wish to live. The supportive nature of the new moon can be a potent time for transformation, as the new moon phase can support in releasing old patterns and embracing newer ones that may serve us better at this time, for we are ever changing embodied beings. Like the moon, we have phases in life. Ecopsychology helps us to remember that we are not separate from nature, but we are very much so a part of it.
