Drawing Down the Moon is traditionally done on the night of a Full moon.  If you can do this meditation during a Full moon, all the better. 


Begin by finding a comfortable sitting position and taking even breaths in and out through your nose.  Take a few moments to concentrate on your breath, releasing any tension in your body.


(30 second pause)


Now begin to construct a large bubble around you.  The bubble may intersect with the wall, floor, or ceiling, but this is okay.  You should be sitting in the middle of this bubble.  Know that this bubble is made up of protective energy, not allowing anything negative to enter or approach you.  This bubble is a safe space, away from the mundane world.


Take a couple moments now to concentrate on your bubble.  Visualize it fully.  Know that this bubble will continue to encompass you throughout this entire meditation.


(2 minute pause)


Now picture the Full moon above you in the sky.  See the moon fully - a bright, glowing sphere.  Acknowledge that this Full moon is an aspect of the Goddess.  In Her fullness, She is the Mother, watching over you, protecting you, and lending you Her energy. 


Take some time to admire the beauty the Moon.  Feel the energy that emanates from it.


(2 minute pause)


Now begin to concentrate on your breath again:  even breaths, in and out through your nose.  As you inhale, bring down moon energy.  Let this moon energy follow your breath, into your body.  Know that this moon energy will permeate every part of your body.  Take a couple minutes now to allow the moon energy to follow your breath.


(3 minute pause)


Know that now the Goddess is within you, a part of you, and you are a part of Her.  You possess the Divinity of the Moon and of the Goddess.  You are pure as the light of the Full Moon.  Know that the words that follow are your own:


I am the beauty of the green earth,

and the white moon among the stars,

and the mystery of the waters,

and the desire of the heart of man.

Call unto thy soul, arise, and come unto me.

For I am the soul of nature,

who gives life to the Universe.

From me all things proceed,

and unto me all things must return;

and before my face, beloved of gods and of men,

let thine innermost divine self be enfolded,

in the rapture of the infinite.


(30 second pause)


You can now direct the energy you possess anywhere you want.  If someone you know is sick, or in need, you may use your energy to help them.  Take some time now to focus your energy on this need.


(2 minute pause)


Begin to focus once more on your breath.  This time, let the moon energy follow your breath out of your body.  Let it return to the moon and to the Goddess.  Know that even though you are releasing this energy, that a part of the Goddess still resides within you.  Take a moment now to release this energy.


(1 minute pause)


Begin to orient yourself to your physical body.  Feel your fingers and toes.  Move them if you need to.  Now feel your limbs.  And now move you head around.  Open your eyes when you are ready.
