The Eve of a Blue Moon

A Full Moon Meditation

Tonight is the second full moon in this month of December and it is unusual to have it fall on the last day of the year. Some call this a Blue Moon when we see two full moons in one month. It is a rarity to have more than 12 full moons in a calendar year and we see this happen every 2 to 3 years. The saying "once in a blue moon" speaks to something that does not occur often. Tonight is a perfect opportunity to engage in a Full Moon Meditation. This is when we take time to pause our activities and focus our attention upon the energies of the full moon in the evening sky.

Acknowledge and give thanks for the blessings in your life as you allow the shimmery light & energy of the moon to shine upon you. Name what you are grateful for and set intentions for what you would like to achieve over the next month till the next full moon occurs on January 30th. This can be a powerful meditation for some and a regular meditation to do each month on the eve of a full moon.

" Meditate. Live Purely. Be Quiet.
Do your work with mastery.
Like the Moon, come out from behind the clouds!
Shine."

Buddha
