Two Meditations for this Full Moon In Sagittarius- Lunar Eclipse

Please note, while it is great to do this with the Full Moon, you can really start ANYTIME, so don't make excuses why you can't start TODAY!
There is no debate about it, we are in one of the most intense times on the planet. There is so much terrible pain that is happening, with the polarity of so much hope for change. There is so much work to be done. I for one know, I have a lot of learning and unlearning to do.
As many of you are familiar with, I teach about meditations and rituals around the Moon cycles. I know that meditation is not the answer to the change that is needed, but it is part of it. For us to be able to show up for the specific work that we are all here to do during this time, we have to have a strong nervous system. The change that needs to happen is not a sprint, and therefore it needs endurance. One of the ways we can strengthen our nervous systems is to meditate, DAILY. During different Moon phases, we have even more awareness of our subconscious beliefs and therefore there is more of an ability to clear and change them.
As many of you are aware, we are moving into the Full Moon in Sagittarius- Lunar Eclipse. The energy of the Full Moon is often thought of as shining a light on what is hidden within us. This is the shadow we are often hearing so much about. The stuff that is not on the surface. The light of the Moon shines on all the things that we often don’t want to look at. The Sagittarius Full Moon has a focus using your voice, not only in your life, but in the bigger picture. How can YOUR voice bring change to the world we live in? And not just this day, or this month but continuously in the future.
During different phases of the Moon, different parts of our subconscious beliefs are more present. We have more access to these “unseen” parts. The Full Moon is also about completions and endings. The Lunar eclipse amplifies this and moves with us for 6 months. This makes it a perfect time to really work on our shadow.
For many of us, myself included, our shadow is quite loud right now and it is quite uncomfortable. The way to make a lasting change is to sit with the discomfort and commit to showing up daily to change what we don’t like in ourselves and the society we live in. This is where the DAILY practice becomes so important.
I want to share two different ways to work with this Full Moon. Below is a Reiki charged Full Moon and Journaling Meditation to help you with sitting with whatever is coming up for you during this time. We can’t change it if we don’t acknowledge it. I recommend you are in a quiet place, maybe lie down and cover your eyes. Bring a candle or a light so that when you come out of it, you can easily grab your journal and write out whatever came up for you.
I also want to share the 40-day meditation that I have shared before. It is the Antar Naad Mudra meditation. As I mentioned, I think it is important to have a daily practice so that you have the endurance to go the distance. This meditation has a special meaning for me, as it was my first 40 day 31 minute personal Sadhana. It is considered a seed mantra, and helps to open the chakras so that the other mantras can be received in full effect. Yogi Bhajan said, anyone who practices this meditation will be granted prosperity, creativity, and protection against attacks. That includes self attacks and you attacking others.
I will still clear and charge my crystals with the Full Moon, and you can check out THIS POST if you want a great journaling and crystal clearing exercise. If you haven't gone through it yet, I truly suggest you do, it is about letting go of whatever you need to right now.
OK, back to Antar Naad Mudra. There will be the one we do tonight, and you will see me explain it on the video below, and then starting tomorrow night, you continue to the same playlist, but you change from swooping through the chakras, to instead sitting with your hands in buddhi mudra. See the instructions below.
Antar Naad Mudra for Full Moon
Playlist HERE- Start tuning in with the GONG, then let the mantra play a few times while you are just doing the movement, then move into chanting along.
Always starting with Tuning IN (if you need help use the audio below)
Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo 3 times
I bow to the Creative Wisdom, I bow to the Divine Teacher within
Ad Guray Nameh Jugad Guray Nameh Sat Guray Nameh Siri Guru Devay Nameh 3 times
I bow to the primal wisdom. I bow to the wisdom through the ages.
I bow to the true wisdom.I bow to the great unseen wisdom.
This version will only be practiced on the FULL MOON.
If you are starting this on a night that is not a full moon, please start with the latter version.
This version of the meditation is a key to opening the flow of Kundalini. The new awareness will give you the authority to make the right choices to conquer the ugliness of life. You will be peaceful and secure.
Mantra:
Sa Ray Sa Sa, Sa Ray Sa Sa, Sa Ray Sa Sa, Sa Rang Har Ray Har Har, Har Ray Har Har, Har Ray Har Har, Har Rang: Adversity melts before this mantra. This mantra takes away negativity from within oneself awakening the Infinite Creative energy to burn away obstacles to achieving higher consciousness. It gives you the capacity of effective communication so your words contain mastery and impact. This mantra helps you conquer the wisdom of the past, present, and future. It brings you peace and prosperity even if it wasn’t in your destiny.
Mudra and Movement: Put the hands flat together in Prayer Pose at the Navel Point.
As the mantra starts with Sa Ray Sa Sa start to bring the palms up the center front of the torso, about 4·6 inches in front of the body.
As you pass the Heart Center, begin to open the hand mudra to make an open lotus by the time the hands reach the level of the Brow Point.
The open lotus has the base of the palms together. The little fingertips touch, the thumb tips touch, and the rest of the fingers are spread open.
As the mantra begins Har Ray Har Har turn the fingers to point down, with the back of the hands touching.
It is a reverse Prayer Pose. Slowly bring this mudra down the chakras in rhythm with the music until the fingertips reach the Navel Point on the sounds Har Rang. Then turn them around and begin again. (adapted from 3ho.org)
