Solar Fire Meditations

Why Meditate?

 

• To learn to relax: physically, emotionally and mentally

• To enjoy better health

• To become calmer and stronger and more able to cope with stress

• To become more focused and effective in daily life

• To express one's higher qualities

• To become aware of the Inner Self and open to spiritual energies

• To be of service

 

"The technique of meditation governs all expansions of consciousness... By means of meditation we find freedom from the delusion of the senses and their vibratory lure; and find our own positive centre of energy and become consciously able to use it; becoming therefore aware of the real Self... and aware of essential unity." The Tibetan.

Full Moon Meditations 2020

 

We meditate at the time of the full moon not because of the moon but because of the sun. At this time the moon is out of the way and there is an increased amount of energy and light flowing from the sun.

 

The full moon meditations have an astrological focus as each of the zodiacal signs represents a certain principle. One is able to gain a clearer understanding of the energies of the month and work with them more effectively.

​

Meditating at the time of the full moon is a time for focusing positively on events occurring in the community, locally or globally.

 

Please join us, all are welcome!
