  • Contemplate the Lunar Cycle

    Synchronize your soul journey with the lunar cycle. Contemplate your inner transformation alongside the changing phases of the moon.

    Allocate more time for longer, deeper meditation sittings or practice during periods that coincide with the full and new moons. These lunar phases are good for impacting deep levels of the psyche and, therefore, are highly conducive for accessing higher, finer states of consciousness.
