Diwali is the Eastern celebration of Light to overcome darkness and to draw an increase of positive, life-supporting forces into our lives.
In the Spirit of this world renowned celebration, you are invited to light a candle or ghee lamp tonight or to leave a light on overnight, as we enter this New Moon.
By drawing in the Light, we honour the auspiciousness of the celebration, as well at inviting abundance, wellbeing & prosperity. Noting: all these are qualities from Lakshmi’s mantra SHRIM – as one teacher has stated: “it is advised to your light candles, buy new clothes (fun), bring your offerings to Maha Lakshmi (flowers, pomegranates) eat sweets & affectionately enjoy the sweetness of an abundant life.”
In Eastern astrology, the scope of this New Moon weekend is in the lunar (Nakshatra) constellation of Vishaka, “a powerful agent of change, as an archway ”. “Vishaka is related to Shakti, a cosmic energetic principle. Know this – the lunar mansion can cause a jolt to any stagnant situation. This “shock” works to provoke a transformation.” ~P.A.
Without a doubt…, and more than ever ~ what the world needs now ~ is as much luminosity & sparkle /Chamak it can rally, as we close 2020.
Remember, we now have less than 40 days until Winter Solstice – December 21, 2020 at 5:02 am EST. As we experience the sun’s light wane cold in our Northern hemisphere, shine your inner flame.
For the coming cycle, meditate by gazing far into the light of the lotus of the hearts.
As any wise teachers would advise us ~ Be sure to keep inspired, draw on love, hope & keep your inner light kindled. This is especially important during these next few weeks of darkness. As I’m told, the cosmos is mixing up a pretty potent astrological stew with the upcoming eclipses.
Given this month anticipated & interesting shifts, it is my wish that your experience an abundance of light, much love and great health. May we know victory over darkness!
Om Shrim Maha Lakshmiye Namaha
