Full Moon Wisdom + Creative Ritual for January 2015

January

Full Moon Sunday, January 4th at 22:52 CST
Moon in Gemini and Punarvasu Nakshatra


Full Moon Intention: That is full: this is full. From fullness, fullness comes out.
Taking fullness from fullness, what remains is fullness. - Isha Upanishad

Full Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra invites in blessings from Aditi, the “Mother of all goodness”. She brings us awareness, blessings of unity consciousness, growth and expansion through wisdom. Aditi cares for and nourishes us like a mother cares for her children. She brings us peaceful and non dualistic experiences.

Punarvasu Nakshatra is ruled by the planet Jupiter which is retrograde in Cancer currently. Jupiter continues to invite us to revisit our emotional body wisdom, our heart centered awareness, and the needs we have for comfort and nourishment emotionally. This may include a re-visiting of themes, stories and experiences from our past as well as parts of our emotional body wisdom that need to be re-examined and reassessed.

Use this Full Moon to create and clearly identify what your deepest needs are. What nourishment are you lacking in your life? This is the container that needs the majority of your attention right now. Seek to create a container that can hold exactly what you need for deeper nourishment in your life. We can really only get our needs met when we can clearly identify and express them. This Full Moon is a time of creating new kinds of structures for your life so your container can be filled with exactly what you so greatly desire. This will require some depth and intimacy with what is not working in your life (your shadows), in order for you to start identifying where your greatest needs and deficits are. Your ability and willingness to dive into the emotional body pain and wounds of your life will determine how able you are to create the true nourishment you need on a deeper level. What is it that you truly wish to fill your container with? What is the nourishment you need for fullness? Let your light and dark pieces dance together, so that you can expand your capacity to hold the nourishment you need. Expand your nourishment container by integrating the shadow and light.

Identifying Your Inner Landscape

I consider the three level check in to be the most basic self care resource.
It is an identification process, a tool that can help us honor what is happening in the now. We can then create the nourishment we need through proper resources.

The three levels of awareness are: the mental body, emotional body and physical body.
I encourage you to self track daily, hourly, or even moment to moment. Your identification process can then be taken into drawing, movement explorations, journaling or music, in order for you to deepen, directly work with, and transform what is arriving in your inner landscape.

The three level check in is a simple, yet vital resource for self tracking. Document your three level check-ins. Use a Self Care Journal as a way to track your ongoing, ever changing inner landscape. This journal can be a helpful resource for identifying emergent themes in your healing and transforming process.

Steps for A Three Level Check In

1) Whatever you are doing right now, hit the pause button and bring your attention inward. It may help to close your eyes, but this isn't necessary. You may be sitting, standing or walking, but bring your attention to the now regardless of what is happening around you.

2) Notice the mental body. What is coming to you? What is the mental body sharing with you? Be present to images, colors, words, expressions and shapes that arise.

3) Notice the emotional body. What is coming to you? What is the mental body sharing with you? Be present to images, colors, words, expressions and shapes that arise.

4) Notice the physical body. What is coming to you? What is the mental body sharing with you? Be present to images, colors, words, expressions and shapes that arise.
