Amāvásyā

Monday’s new moon will be in the constellation of Pūrva Phalgunī (sidereal Leo), The Fruit of the Tree. The dark moon initiates the theme for the month to come and flavors our experiences. The energy is lively and ripe for cultivating creative pursuits, bringing momentum towards set goals, and merging practicality and function with enjoyment. As I mentioned last month, this new found breath of fresh air and openness has an expiration date — it’s time to get things in order, set into action and completed before the tides shift — use the next ten days wisely.
As if we’re in the eye of the storm, a great shift and disruption of sorts is around the corner. Sometimes in order to establish truth and order, disorder needs to be shaken. Pūrva Phalgunī reminds us that complex problems can be solved in a relaxed mood and that ultimately the practice of yoga teaches us how to be at ease in the presence of the unknown. The deeper you go, the more you tend to the stillness within, the more dynamic and effortless your activity becomes.
This lunar mansion relates to enjoying the comforts of life, creativity, rest, renewal, fertility, the need to express oneself, is symbolized by a swinging hammock and holds the theme of blindness. Things may not be what they seem — stay curious. Drop your stories, dissolve the veils and turn your awareness inside.
We must be steady, and unshaken by the small and big things. Allow, embrace and surrender to the cultivation of stabilizing your awareness and capacity to be at ease with whatever comes. As we move out of the calm, your task is to be constant in your practice of tending to your connection with divinity, with the unchanging that lies within… reminding yourself again and again to BE… to be the silent witness… to rest in pure being amidst all the dismantling. Trust in the process and stay connected to your heart.

Ground yourself, strip yourself down,
To blind loving silence.
Stay there, until you see
You are gazing at the Light
With its own ageless eyes
