Full Moon in Capricorn

PLEASE NOTE, WHILE IT IS GREAT TO DO THIS WITH THE FULL MOON, YOU CAN REALLY DO JUST THE MEDITATION OR THE ENTIRE EXERCISE ANYTIME...

As I always say, I am not an astrologist, but I deeply feel the energy of the moon cycles.  And, let’s be honest, you have most likely already started to feel the intensity of our planetary party going on.   To say this Lunar eclipse is intense would be putting it mildly.  The Lunar Eclipse and all the planets in retrograde have brought a lot of fear, so what is it really about?  

You turn on the news, social media or just everyday conversations you’re having and you might notice there is an element of fear, as well as control, happening. People telling you how to feel, how to act, what you can and can not do…This can leave you almost paralyzed into staying in place or running with actions that aren’t aligned with how YOU truly want to show up. It is in these times that your mediation practice is more important than ever. Your work here will be best done when it is coming from YOU, and not others telling you what you should be doing…

"Eclipses are magical moments where something slips through an energy portal to both destroy and create. It’s a path opener. Eclipses are known to bring things to a head; something is released…. It’s time to bring things sleeping into the light.

The energies during the past few months have been intense and chaotic, and it feels like things are getting more intense, very much like the stage in labor called transition – the contractions keep coming without stop. It’s an intense time, but it presages birth. Just as it is a dying time, it is also a birthing time."  Cathy Pagano  

This Lunar Eclipse is in Capricorn, our ambitious, hard-working, practical, helpful friend, can help us use this energy to show up. To be part of the solution and not part of the problem. In order to show up in our most powerful self, we need to tap into our intuition and hear the answers and steps that we individually need to be taking to play our part. ..

So, with that in mind, let's focus on the things that we are ready to let die so that something can be reborn. We want to strip away what has put on us, so there is room for us to shine. This could be the loud voices of our families, our social media streams, the tv. This could also show up as a limiting belief, a career choice, or someone that you have allowed to remain in your life that you know isn't allowing you the space to let in what you truly desire etc...You need to get really honest with yourself.  Get quiet.  Go in and acknowledge what you need to end in order for something else to begin.  Pay attention.  Practice the breathwork portion of the audio for the next few days, taping into your intuition so that you can truly know what it is you want and what it is your doing because of fear or to fit in.  

Because we are dealing with a lunar eclipse, we want to tap into our lunar side.  The side that is ruled by intuition, that is calming, creative. We will be using Left Nostril breathing, which stimulates your parasympathetic body, as well as your intuition. I will be doing this breath for the rest of the week.  Allowing my intuition to get louder.  The energy of Full Moon and Eclipses is not a one-day thing. The Full Moon is often thought of as having a 3 day lag, and the Lunar Eclipse makes it a 6-month lag. We are working with not only what we have been doing since the start of the year, but also how we want to show up for the remaining six months of the year…

The beginning 9 minutes of the recording is a meditation and the remaining time is for you to journal out what has come up for you. It is great if you do all of it together, but you can also split it up into two exercises…Some of you might recognize the mantra that is playing during the journal portion. It is the Meditation that some of you might have started a while back. There is a special version that you do on the Full Moon , so if you feel called, you can start to do it after you are finished journaling.  If you finish journaling and feel called you can chant along and do the mudras for the Antar Naad Mudra for the Full Moon . I describe it during the video, and you can watch the 3 minute video. It will show you how to TUNE IN and the mudra. This is a meditation you only do on the Full Moon.

 Now it is time  to clear your crystals, which you can do with Palo Santo, Sage, Sound, dirt, water etc... To get more information check out THIS VIDEO where we talk about crystals, moons and clearing....When you are finished put your crystals either outside or near a window for 24 hours...

If you are wanting to go further with thsi Full Moon and ebergy and really harness the energy of the next six months, join my SHIFT Group Coaching. We will be having a LIVE MOON WORKSHOP, tomorrow night!

Kundalini Yoga Meditation: Dealing with Your Own Mind

Originally taught by Yogi Bhajan on January 9, 1998

Posture:Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine.

Breath: Close off your right nostril with your right thumb and inhale deeply through your left nostril. Exhale completely through your mouth.

Time: Continue for 6 minutes.

To End: Inhale deeply, interlace your fingers and stretch them over your head palms up. Hold your breath for 10-15 seconds while you stretch your spine upward. Exhale and relax.

Mind is a link between Infinity and you. When the soul got the body, the soul asked God, 'What is my link with you, my Lord?' And God said, 'Mind.'

Mind can take you into any thought, beyond thought, and unto Infinity. Mind can take you into any dungeon, any pit, and any negativity. Mind has no limit in its own self. But mind is your servant. If the mind becomes your master, you don't have a chance. It is very essential in yoga that we know our own mind.

Now you will ask me if a mind can be controlled. Yes. Not only can your mind be controlled, your life can be controlled. A situation can be controlled. Sometimes you get into very, very, very ugly situations. If you have the practice to switch your breath to the left nostril, you will get out of it in two seconds. The moment you start breathing with your left nostril, your elementary self will come into play. The moment your elementary self comes into play, your totality of the mind becomes one unit to confirm and it puts out the radiance shield of your body and you will immediately become very pleasant and positive rather than angry and reactive.

Some people train themselves to breathe through any nostril they choose. But many of you have not practiced that, and therefore you use your hand to close your right nostril. Long, deep breathing through the left nostril is good for the heart and good for the health. It will calm you down.

Normally after you have done this exercise for two minutes you will start feeling bored. Negative mind is in action: 'What are you doing this for? This is a babyish thing. We could have done something better.' In any exercise which touches the mind, a person starts getting upset in exactly two and half minutes. That's the rule of thumb. The mind doesn't want to be caught. It wants to swing. But there are some people like us who feel that it's hard work to control the mind, and once we control the mind, then we can control the whole world.
