My dear Cathy,

what a journey this is! Your sharing is very touching and inspiring. I really admire your clarity and complete honesty!

I was astonished, as on the day before the full moon exactly the same happened to me (the quote from Mystic Mamma in your posting) and I looked up what I had posted for guidance! This dynamic is still active in my life right now and I feel there is a clearing and empowering taking place. Old patterns are being revealed and the time has come for me to overcome them.

I was looking forward to moon gazing, a new practice for me, and did ten minutes or so on the night before the full moon. While meditating afterwards I felt strong energies in the chin region, moving presumably in the meridians. The moon chakra is located between the mouth and the tip of the chin and seems to have been activated by the gazing. Unfortunately the following nights were cloudy so that I couldn't do any more. : (

I had started sun gazing a bit, I felt drawn to it after I had read something very new and interesting to me in a book. If one is blinded suddenly or blindfolded for a few days, one gets so weak that one can no longer stand up and walk, because the light and energy from the sun that is taken in through the eyes has been shut out. After some time the intake of light and energy takes place through the skin and strength is restored.

As the moon reflects the sunlight, its energy must be transferred to some extent in the moonlight. The moon has of course other energies in its own right, magnetism for example, gravitational forces and subtle energies influencing the growth of plants, fertility cycles in living things, sleep (!) and so on. Anyway, I hope that the sky during the full moon in May will be clear, because I feel to gaze for longer periods as I am keen to see what happens!

Much love to all,
Helen
