FULL MOON ECLIPSE

Full Moon Eclipse
January 10th 2020
from Mirabai Moon



The full moon is at home in the sign of cancer, and it is all about our deepest power, that part of us that is sensitive, loving, nurturing and compassionate.

Simultaneously, the sun, mercury, saturn, and pluto are all in capricorn opposing the full moon, calling us to reconcile and integrate these opposing forces. And since it's a lunar eclipse, everything is intensified.

When we see polarization before us, we are being called to come together in a cooperative and co-creative way to make changes. We need to find within our depths that peace and love which is at the core of all our beings and make an energetic shift in that direction. If enough of us can make the shift, then the ripple effect will be felt everywhere.

Eclipses are wonderful opportunities for positive change if we move through them consciously with positive intent. Eclipses swing open the doors of change, so it's a good idea to remain optimistic and see them as positive catalysts that provide a cosmic platform for movement. Eclipses expose the things we need to change in our lives and propel us to change them, letting past energy that no longer serves us to fall away. What a great opportunity to rewire ourselves! Moving through the shadow and out into the light.

The energies at play right now are pushing us towards a place of fear, defensiveness and reactivity. But we do not have to let fear dictate how we view what's going on in the world and how we respond. We can take a different perspective and create a new story.

When we see destruction happening outside us, it is inviting us to co-create a new reality within us. Let's let go of limiting beliefs, fear-based thinking, unresolved grudges of the past, judgementalism, hatred, and pettiness. Let's visualize the brilliant light of the Moon dissipating the darkness of all the things within us that no longer serves us. Moving into a new reality of kindness and compassion for ourselves and others.

You may want to take time during the eclipse to acknowledge your fears and surrender them to Divine will. Allow the fear to be transformed by faith, and allow the luminosity of the moon to fill you with love and positive energy when she emerges on the other side.

I'd like to invite you to join me tomorrow on Jan 10 during the eclipse (17:07 - 21:12 UT...subtract 5 hours for EST), to visualize world peace, chant, and pray. I am hoping to do a live stream during this time and it will most likely be close to the peak of the eclipse (2:21 PM EST). I will stream from the group page Spiritual Activism for the New Earth. Please join the group if you’d like to tune in.

Leading up to peak eclipse, I will be chanting The Maha Mrityunjaya or Tryamakam mantra. Known as the great death conquering mantra, IT is one of yoga's most important mantras because it restores health and happiness and brings calmness in the face of death...

The words are…
OM. Tryambakam yajamahe
Sugandhim pushti-vardhanam
Urvarukamiva bandhanan
Mrityor mukshiya mamritat

Next “Om Namo Narayanaya” is a salutation to the god Vishnu, often called “The Preserver” in Hindu mythology. His role is to maintain the world in balance. Therefore, this mantra represents those who seek balance, peace, or equanimity (i.e. mental calmness).

As the Moon begins to re-emerge after the peak of the eclipse I will be chanting “OM chandraya namaha” A Mantra that helps to see things more clearly and look beyond illusions to see the deeper meaning in things and the truth that lies within.

And I will also be chanting the Gayatri Mantra. This mantra is a request to the sun: May we meditate upon your form and be illumined by who you are? (Consider that the sun offers its gift of illumination and energy to all beings, without judgment and without attachment to the outcome of the gift.)

The words are…
Om bhur bhuvah svah tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasya dhimahi dhiyo yo nah prachodayat.
