Is Full Moon A Good Time For Shadow Work & Inner Growth?

Full moon is a time when it draws up to the surface our baggage,

Stuff that needs to be processed.

Our internal subconscious blockages can be felt.

They can come to the surface.

And some people believe it's a good time to go within and do the work.

And from one perspective,

It is.

You.

To not remain stagnant.

By stagnant I mean lack of flow,

Lack of movement.

I say that because.

.

.

We've established before in other videos and other live events that our number one desire on an egoic level.

Is to avoid discomfort to avoid baggage to avoid the shadows and our ego does the best effort it can make to actually keep all the stuff suppressed and down this is just this is bread and butter human function this is the basic way of moving through life.

Avoid pain.

Move towards pleasure.

Full moon what it does is it takes that out of your hands to some degree so we're here in an egoic sense trying to maneuver life so that it works for us so we don't have to feel pain and discomfort Full Moon is a gigantic planetary event every month.

That pulls to the surface part of the human dysfunction part of the human shadow the repressed energy or emotions that exist within us all And what you will see is that your own stuff will come to the surface absolutely and It's easier to look around you rather than go within.

So you can start if you haven't done this already.

Just start to take notice when you go shopping for food,

Groceries,

Haircut,

Whatever.

Just notice in the shops and on the streets and the way people drive that it becomes crazier,

More lunatic.

Kind of functioning in and around four to five days prior to full moon.

Is it a time for integration and positive work as has been stipulated by some people?

It absolutely is.

Why not make it something good?

Why not try to make it enjoyable?

If you're someone who already goes in deep every day searching for the heaviness then it then it feels a little bit unnecessary but if you're somebody who needs a bit of encouragement every month to kind of push you into the darkness to push you into your shadows then the full moon is definitely an opportunity to do a bit more gnarly ugly work because it's part of the process,

Part of this.

Transformational journey.

It is absolutely unavoidable to have progress without going in and seeing and dealing with that heaviness that toxicity.

So Full Moon will definitely bring it up.

Your job is to sit with it.

You can do different things with it.

On the Insight Timer,

On my profile,

You've got the five steps.

Emotional alchemy,

Where you go through over five steps and you process.

Heaviness,

Stress,

Toxicity.

You can do other things.

You can just merely observe it.

More of a Vipassana style meditation.

Maybe you can journal it.

Maybe you can draw it.

You can artistically create it.

The main thing is that you see it though.

Whatever you do,

The main thing is that you spend time breathing with it and seeing it.

That's the.

.

.

That's the elixir of inner transformation.

You can do art,

You can go for strolls,

You can do yoga,

But the number one thing to just trump everything else is seeing it.

When you see it,

Breathe into it.

You are shining the light of.

Your awareness your presence which is ultimately connected to Source.

God.

Whatever you wish to call it.

So you are using the most powerful force that you possess by merely looking at it.

But again,

That's difficult because the ego cognition which we all have doesn't want to do that.

So if you're brave,

If you're feeling maybe that you're ready,

Full moon is definitely a time to just breathe into the darkness and the density.
