Guided Meditation for the New Moon in Aquarius
#weoshwellness
February 9, 2024
Beginning the Journey
Find a comfortable, quiet space where you can sit or lie down without interruptions. Take a deep breath in, filling your lungs with fresh air, and as you exhale, allow any tension to melt away. Do this a few more times, with each breath inviting peace and calm into your body.
Setting the Intention
As we embrace the energy of the New Moon in Aquarius on this day, February 9, 2024, at 5:58 P.M. Eastern Time, let's set an intention for renewal and self-discovery. Aquarius, the sign of innovation, community, and individuality, guides us to consider our current lifestyle and the circle we share it with.
Visualization of Acceptance
Imagine yourself under the velvety dark sky of the New Moon, surrounded by the infinite universe. Visualize a bubble around you – this is your reality bubble, a space where you are the architect of your life. Within this bubble, paint a vivid picture of your ideal lifestyle. Who are you with? What are you doing? How do these elements make you feel? Focus on feelings of acceptance, triumph, and unapologetic self-respect.
Reflection on the Past
Recall the Full Moon in Leo's lessons from last month, where you were encouraged to shine a light on your insecurities. Remember the weaknesses you acknowledged and the decision to empower yourself. With each breath, feel yourself releasing any remnants of judgment or restriction, making room for growth and self-love.
Embracing Change with Uranus Direct in Taurus
Now, envision the energy of Uranus, now direct in Taurus, infusing your reality bubble with ease and openness. Imagine pathways clearing, leading you to your happy place. See yourself finding and connecting with your people – those who accept and celebrate you for who you are. Feel the sense of belonging and mutual respect.
Affirmations for Empowerment
Repeat these affirmations silently or aloud, letting their truth resonate within you:
"I am the architect of my life, building with unapologetic self-respect."
"I embrace change and welcome growth with an open heart."
"I find my happy place and connect with those who truly belong in my world."
"I trust the process of life and move forward with confidence and joy."
Closing the Meditation
Take a few more deep, intentional breaths, feeling grounded and renewed. When you're ready, gently open your eyes, carrying the energy and intentions set during this meditation with you. Remember, the New Moon is a time for new beginnings, and with the empowering energy of Aquarius, you are well-equipped to make the changes you desire in your life.
Integration
In the days following this meditation, take practical steps toward realizing the vision you created in your reality bubble. Trust in the process, and be open to the opportunities and people that come your way.

Balance Your Vagus Nervous System With These Easy Techniques
#weoshwellness
The way you breathe can have a big impact on your health.
When you breathe more shallow and quick, you are sending a message of stress and anxiety to your body.
This can lead to a number of health problems. Take a few minutes each day to practice deep breathing.
In our blog we go over 3 examples of breathwork exercises. This can help to improve your overall health and well-being.
Weosh Wellness
There are many different ways to practice proper breathing. Some common techniques include:
Diaphragmatic breathing: This is the most natural way to breathe. It involves breathing from the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. To do this, sit or lie down in a comfortable position and place one hand on your chest and the other on your abdomen. As you breathe in, your abdomen should rise and your chest should remain still. As you breathe out, your abdomen should fall and your chest should remain still.
Box breathing: This is a simple technique that can be done anywhere. To do it, sit or stand in a comfortable position and inhale for 4 counts, hold your breath for 4 counts, exhale for 4 counts, and hold your breath for 4 counts. Repeat this cycle 4-5 times.
Alternate nostril breathing: This is a more advanced technique that can help to balance the body's energy. To do it, sit or lie down in a comfortable position and close your right nostril with your right thumb. Inhale through your left nostril for 4 counts. Close your left nostril with your ring finger and exhale through your right nostril for 4 counts. Repeat this cycle 4-5 times, then switch sides and do the same thing.
Which of these techniques resonated the most with you?

Reduces stress
When we are stressed, our breathing becomes shallow and rapid. This can lead to a number of physical and emotional problems. Proper breathing can help to slow down our breathing and calm our nervous system.
Increases oxygen levels
When we breathe properly, we take in more oxygen and release more carbon dioxide. This can help to improve our overall health and well-being
Strengthens the diaphragm
The diaphragm is the muscle that separates our chest from our abdomen. It is important for breathing and many other functions. Proper breathing can help to strengthen the diaphragm and improve its function.
Reduces inflammation
Inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection. However, chronic inflammation can be harmful to our health. Proper breathing can help to reduce inflammation by increasing oxygen levels and removing toxins from the body.
