Roots & Roses : A New Moon Meditation

May 12, 2026

New Moon Intentions

New moons are always a time to reflect and plant seeds of intention for the next six months, reaching their apex and unveiling at the full moon. However sometimes our conscious desires are in contradiction to deeply held and often outdated belief systems held in the subconscious.  Taking a deep dive into these often hidden and buried beliefs can often unveil why we are out of alignment with what the conscious mind is trying to attain. Diving into this is often challenging without tools like vibe sessions, plant medicine or other modalities that can help us tap into the subsconsions. So this month, we are taking a different approach to our new moon intentions. Rather then allowing the conscious mind to choose and moving from this place, we are going to utilize an approach that flips the process in reverse! We are going to allow the soul to do the picking. Softly moving the ego and the “shoulds” to the side, so we can deeply listen to what wants to emerge. When we give the higher self the reigns, we move into alignment and therefore “flow” allowing things to manifest magnetically rather then constantly willing them into existence through effort. How? With our signature, choose-your-own-intention style meditation, that allows you to soften and move towards what’s calling you.

For this 33-minute guided meditation, leave the mind behind, let the body relax, and listen to the whispers, impulses and longing of something deeper.  During this meditation you will reach 3 choice points, choose the color or energetic that calls to you even if you do not know why.  Mentally record the color you choose and after the meditation you can “decode” your color choices to understand the energetics of what is calling to you! Bonus points if you can then weave the frequency and intentions of your choices into a simple 1-2 sentence phrase starting with the words…. “my intention is…..”.  Write it down, repeat it and remember manifestation happens when conscious desires matches subconscious beliefs. 

 

Color Therapy

Color is not merely seen — it is felt, absorbed through layers of the energetic body long before the conscious mind assigns it meaning. In the sacred architecture of a choose-your-own-intention meditation, each color choice becomes a living oracle, a moment where your subconscious speaks its truth through preference, attraction, or even resistance. The hues you are drawn to reveal the frequencies your soul is quietly calling in — whether that is the expansion  of emerald, the presence of ocean blue, or the power held within midnight black. Color therapy within this container works not through information, but through resonance — the nervous system relaxes, the analytical mind steps aside, and the deeper self is given permission to lead. Each choice point in the journey becomes a portal: a gentle diagnostic, a healing transmission, and an act of self-knowing all at once. This is the intelligence of color — it bypasses the gatekeepers and speaks directly to what is ready to be witnessed, integrated, and transformed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
