Creating a sense of ‘Home’ – this is the theme for our Full Moon. Our own bodies, like a home, are where our inner desire for nourishment and truth is found. During this period take time to pause and feel if you are nourished. Feeling at ease can be a simple exercise & something that can only arise when we sit quietly – in silence.
One practice, to connect with how you are truly feeling is to close our eyes & ask yourself. “What am I feeling right now? Can I be at ease with it?” Sit there & try it. Breathe & wait for the answer, without resisting & allow yourself to invite inner stillness. Return ‘home’ to yourself, again & again is what we all we need to exercise. So, why not dive into the heart of the matter & take in some divine lunar (feminine) energy to *Love Yourself *unconditionally.

Some of the world’s heaviness of the gloom & doom seem to be influencing those who may be weaker with undue pressure. This is an inward calling to our embrace our Sanctuary – our bodies are living temples, actual shrines & a safe haven to explore without judgement and with much compassion.

Sure there is always work to be done, we also need to take time to snuggle up cozy up to this life. Enjoying simple pleasures like reading a good book, taking a warm bath, listening to soothing music, or drinking a warm glass of milk is available.
You can even nurture your being with a good hug, as this reduces stress, in many ways. Why not stretch out our arms & hug someone near you or your pet? One yoga exercise I enjoy is to open wide your both arms, and lift the heart, then embrace by giving myself a hug. Try it for 20 seconds & see how you feel for you? This also nurtures the Hridaya or Spiritual Heart in the anahata – heart region. We often yearn to help or heal…so if you need support just reach out & ask, be open also to receive support.

“Let not your heart’s be troubled”, Jesus taught (John 14). This I understand as teaching us today that we are not to be troubled by anxiety, worry & fear when there is peace (Shanti) for all who seek it, because this too will pass.
Let this bright moon illuminate the spark of life in you, like the love a mother knows all so well. Namaste.
