I have a secret to share about the moon and the mind. And if you understand this, you can do wonders with your life. And I am not talking about the customary, how the moon influences the mind like tides etc, though that is always the basis for it.
Today is Amavasya (or New Moon). Few things first
- Moon does not have light of its own.
- Moon reflects only the Sun
- On a full moon day, it reflects 100% while on new moon it does not. So temporarily we cannot see the moon
- Moon directly works on our mind.
- Mind is a reflection of Moon.
- Mind is fully active on Full Moon day. Logical right, since that is the day when it reflects the Sun
- The period (Shukla Paksha) or Waxing period is when the moon regains its beauty.
- The Krishna Paksha or Waning period is when the moon is going towards darkness.
Now technically, your mind becomes active day by day during the waxing period and vice versa during waning period. So what if you could plan out all your activities accordingly.
During waxing, plan anything that you wish to grow, expand and you would get success. During waning, plan anything that requires to you go deep down, closure, maybe letting go.
Don't believe me, just observe for an entire month. Our ancient systems had built this into our calendar systems but the Gregorians almost killed it out. Time to revive the same.
