Experience the ancient practice of moon bathing with this 10-minute guided meditation under the Full Harvest Supermoon. Join Meryl for a deeply restorative nature-inspired meditation that harnesses the moon's soothing energy to calm anxiety, release stress, and prepare your body and mind for restful sleep.
In this episode, you'll be guided through a gentle moon bathing practice that can be done anywhere you feel safe under the night sky — your back porch, yard, campsite, park bench, or even by a window. Learn to absorb the moon's "life-sustaining nectar" while connecting with the cyclical nature of life and the healing power of nighttime in nature.
What is Moon Bathing?
Moon bathing is the practice of intentionally spending time in moonlight to absorb its cooling, calming energy.
