Greetings, human. It is I, Tyson—your whiskered companion in full bloom.
Tonight, we gather beneath the Flower Moon, the full moon of May. This moon takes its name from the explosion of blossoms that fill the world with color and fragrance. It is a moon of joy, fullness, and feline-approved lounging in patches of warm sunlight.
Find your spot—a window ledge, a favorite blanket, or anywhere your cat will permit you to rest—and prepare to sink into the season’s soft abundance.
Let us begin.
Step 1: Sink into the Garden
Sit or lie down in a place that feels as gentle as fresh petals.
If you can see the moon, let its glow spill over you like dew.
If not, imagine it hanging above a lush, moonlit meadow in full bloom.
Breathe in slowly, like you’re smelling every flower in a bouquet.
Breathe out with ease, like a satisfied sigh in a sun-warmed patch of grass.
Cats don’t rush into delight.
We lounge in it. Stretch in it. Nap in it.
Step 2: The Sunbeam Stretch
Raise your arms like vines reaching toward the sky.
Flex your fingers like you’re catching the scent of jasmine or catnip.
Inhale the warmth.
Exhale the tension.
Let your whole body yawn into the promise of longer days and brighter hours.
Step 3: Let the Moon Bloom in You
Picture the Flower Moon high above, spilling gold and silver across fields of blossoms.
Let it bloom inside your chest—soft, light, expanding.
Breathe in beauty.
Breathe out resistance.
Breathe in joy.
Breathe out the leftover frost of worry.
You are not behind.
You are exactly where this bloom begins.
Step 4: The Garden Purr
Listen to your cat.
Or imagine a warm, steady purr humming beneath a flowering tree.
Match your breath to that ancient rhythm:
Inhale slowly…
Exhale softly…
Inhale…
Exhale…
Each breath is a petal opening.
Each exhale is a soft breeze carrying peace.
Step 5: Flourish Without Hurry
The Flower Moon is not a sprint.
It is a sprawl—a long, luxurious nap in the arms of spring.
Feel your body resting where it is, full of potential.
Feel your breath moving like wind through wildflowers.
You do not need to be everything at once.
Let this moon remind you: blooming is enough.
Step 6: Return with Petals in Your Whiskers
When you’re ready, wiggle your fingers like they’re brushing through wild grass.
Stretch like a cat uncurling from a nap on the porch.
Blink yourself slowly back into your space.
If your cat has joined you: you’ve achieved true seasonal alignment.
If your cat has sprawled across your meditation mat: well done. They approve.
Carry the joy of the Flower Moon with you.
And remember: You too are in bloom.
Purrs and petaled purrfection,
Tyson 🐾
