A Strawberry Full Moon Meditation

to Restore Calm & Connection When Anxiety Peaks

Tonight will be the June full moon, visible 10-11 June 2025, and it will be the lowest full Moon in the sky for nearly two decades: a phenomenon that won’t occur again until 2043. This moon is known by many names based on culture and location:

Blooming Moon

Strawberry Moon

Rose Moon

Hot Moon

Mead Moon

Berries Ripen Moon

Green Corn Moon

Honey Moon

Hatching Moon

Birth Moon

Moon of Receiving

A moon so close you might feels its pull on your internal tides; you might feel the call of ancestors (of blood or place) who used this moon to tell time and plan activites (like harvesting strawberries or honey). A moon so close that darkness is given light.

Today’s early-release podcast episode is a gentle yet grounding meditation aligned with June’s Strawberry Moon. You'll be guided to connect with the natural world around you and slow your breath—helping you release mental overwhelm and foster inner resilience.

Through this full moon practice, you’ll discover:

🌕How to create a calming ritual that supports your mental health
🍓Techniques to release anxiety using breath, sound, and scent awareness
🍯A powerful sense of connection—to yourself, to nature, and to human history

Press play and give yourself space to soften your edges, breathe with intention, and realign with peace.
