00:51 Whatever they are. Change is inevitable, not bad. Let us take some time now to meditate on embracing change and how getting a fresh start can be extremely beneficial.

The moon is full of guidance and power, but it doesn't always stay that way. As time goes on, it gets smaller and smaller. Notice the moon changing in your mind now, slowly waning until it's very small.
03:43 Times we can feel like we are withering away that things have become repetitive and tedious, that things will always be the same or will always be bad. As you keep breathing deeply, the last sliver of the moon disappears and you are left in the pitch black of the night. For some, the new moon can be scary.
04:35 Because all light is gone, and you feel whittled down to the smallest, almost non-existent version of yourself. However, the new moon isn't about lack or nothingness. It is about starting anew.

When you start fresh, you can leave things behind that no longer benefit you, such as a job where you aren't paid enough or relationships that harm you. A new outlook on life can open your eyes to so many things, things that are bigger and better for you. It is never too late to start over.
06:56 or start fresh. The moon changes every month, shrinking and growing as it changes. You can change and start fresh as much as you need to. The new moon challenges you to open your eyes to things that are different. They may seem scary. But taking that first leap into the dark will bring you things beyond your wildest dreams. Just as the moon begins to appear and grow again, as you will grow and become happier and better in your life, as you keep breathing deeply. Watch in your mind the empty moon slowly come back in a small sliver and then grow bigger and bigger. It is a full moon again. Use this time to focus on what you want to start anew and decide that. They're you will take a fresh leap for that as you gently open your eyes and wake from this meditation.
