Understanding the Full Moon and Lunar Eclipse

by Abhijita Kulshrestha

So there is this eclipse happening on the 4th of April. And it is a full moon day also. I can already sense breathing getting faster for people who have noticed their own patterns fluctuate with the lunar rhythm! Yes, it’s a time when emotions can go all wild and batty, with the matter layered up deep within the subterranean realm of the subconscious forcing its way up!

It’s a funny thing… because the more you know that it disturbs you, the more you want to rein it in. The more you want to rein it in, the more it wants to explode. Full moon time is a phase that is replete with energy so strong, that the best asset in this time becomes the ability to ‘handle the energy’. You need to have space – psychic space, ready and prepared within you, willing to receive it. If, on the contrary there is emotional clutter, negative energy and ignorance or unwillingness to receive gracefully, chaos is bound to happen.

The stickiness of damaging old patterns is old news. But it is also one of the oldest known challenges for the human psyche. One may want to remain stuck in familiar old places, no matter how unhealthy they are. For transformation and growth forward, it is important that one be willing to embrace temporary discomfort and possibly even a very perplexing feeling of being lost. Any change is unsettling, even the best of changes come accompanied by a certain level of apprehension.

So know that with full moon energies the lull waters of your own psychic landscape will be stirred! You may be forced to visit places within the mind that unsettle you. You may have to acknowledge your own instinctual power and resume work on the purpose you have been born for. In this fast paced world, one can numb the mind with very many distractions and choose to look away, but with this recurring reminder … the burst of silvery mist that moistens the forcibly-made-barren emotional landscape, you will feel, think, ponder, grieve, celebrate, exult, recreate, live…anything but be lifeless. So choose your thoughts wisely, engage in living with gratitude, heal yourself and those around for the full moon energies will definitely amplify and intensify what you harbor within!
