Full Moon Meditation

Being the closest celestial body to Earth, the moon tends to have a prominent impact and a greater influence on our mind and emotions. This can especially be experienced during a full moon, when our emotions become expansive. Buddhists consider the full moon sacred and a good time to deepen the spiritual reflections and practises. In Buddhism, meditation during this period can help one transcend the mind and realise the divine powers present inside all of us.

Meditating during the full moon also helps in releasing one from old thought patterns and blockages of the mind. It helps to unbind from everything that needs to be let go. A good way of doing this is to pen down these thoughts on a piece of paper and subsequently tear the paper. This helps to achieve release and wipes the slate clean. By imagining that all dreams have come true, meditation can also lead to the manifestation of one’s dreams.

Meditating in a group is a powerful way to expand its impact and effectiveness by harnessing the group’s collective energy.
