Join Indira as she guides you through gentle yoga stretching in preparation for a seated meditation, a walking meditation and another seated meditation. Each new moon you are encouraged to write out your intentions for the cycle and review them during the Full Moon Meditation.
The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and profoundly affects every body of water, including US. It communicates to us and ties us rhythmically with all of life's cycles. We acknowledge that cycle by taking the time to get quiet and be still so that we may feel that influence and hear the primal inner voice with which Nature is speaking to us.
The Full Moon sheds light on the things that we no longer need to hold on to. Once we have become enlightened to ways that are blocking us, the easier to let go. Traditionally, the Full Moon is also used for the setting up of plans and for the releasing of old and unwanted patterns or issues.
Most cultures have a tradition and practice of relating to the moon for its influence and inspiration. Whether you are a man or a woman, no one needs to explain the meaning behind "lunar cycle" --- it is a powerful influence and the strongest pull on our body that can take us out of our habitual physical fixation and into the etheric.
The moon is the celestial orb of dreamtime and tied to the unconscious. When we meditate, we can drop into our subconscious and hear the quiet voice of the heart.
A great time for fasting or eating very light is during Full and New Moons. We sit together to give support to that choice because the group energy can help the individual ride the wave of the collective. Sitting in groups makes it easier for
the individual to practice stillness and allows one to go deeper more quickly.
We begin with some gentle yoga stretching, followed by a
guided meditation, walking meditation and a second, shorter sit. There is also time to ask questions as well as share your experiences regarding the meditation. Beginner or experienced student benefit from this collective community meditation.
