Have the Full Moon Ceremony and Guided Meditation sent to you each month.

The Fiery Energy of Aries

As the Sun enters the sign of Aries we welcome the fiery, initiating energy of Spring and the promise of new beginnings. This month we have several planets that converge to strengthen the initiating impulse, so we might be especially prone to impulsive actions and thoughtless activity. However, there are also other cosmic forces asking us to slow down and be more deliberate in what we are attempting to manifest.

Mercury is in its retrograde period from March 22 to April 15th. (Be sure to double check your tax returns) At the full moon it sits right next to the moon, so its invitation is to slow down, reflect, and attempt to live more fully from our authentic selves.

Take Time to Reflect

Mars and Saturn are also active at this full moon asking us to take time to reflect on our motivations and long-term goals. This conjunction will last for two years so it is a powerful time to get clear on what we really want in our lives.

Aries is the first sign of the Zodiac thus we are beginning a new cycle of creation and manifestation. The sun moves into the sign of Aries at the Spring Equinox, so we are reminded that nature is also moving into her new cycle. We can bring ourselves into alignment with nature at this time by committing to whatever new beginning is waiting to manifest in us.

Festivals of Spring

Aries also is the first of the Three Festivals of Spring. In the ancient wisdom teachings, we are told that these three festivals, Aries, Taurus, and Gemini are the most powerful full moons of the year. Through the dispensation of their energies we are gifted with a downpouring of love, light and power. This festival is sometimes called the Festival of Easter because it focuses on the theme of resurrection. The fiery energy of Aries stimulates the uplifting of all the kingdoms of nature. We are offered the opportunity to be resurrected from our physical natures into an elevated spiritual realm.

The electrical, fiery Aries energy also can be like a lightening bolt. It can strike to cleanse and shatter old crystallized forms. To use Aries in this way we must be willing to examine where it is we are stuck.  What has become solidified within us and how it is blocking this new energy that wants to open us and lift us up?

Listen to the Meditation

The electrical, fiery Aries energy also can be like a lightening bolt. It can strike to cleanse and shatter old crystallized forms. To use Aries in this way we must be willing to examine where it is we are stuck.  What has become solidified within us and how it is blocking this new energy that wants to open us and lift us up?

This will be the focus of our meditation today.

As we begin to prepare for our meditation be sure you are in a place where you will not be disturbed. Sitting comfortably with your spine relatively erect begin to focus on your breathing. Noticing that with every in breath your body becomes more and more relaxed and as you exhale you release any tension still residing in your body. Do this for the next few minutes, just gently inhaling and exhaling, relaxing and releasing. Now with a more focused attention send the breath into your emotional body, feeling your emotions become still and calm, like a lake with no ripples. Finally send the breath to the busy mind and ask that the mind become quiet and receptive as we proceed with our meditation. Now I’d like you to imagine a radiant ball of light sitting right above your head. This is the light of your Soul. Imagine now that the crown chakra opens and allows that light to travel down through each chakra into the center of the earth. (pause) Feel your energy become solid and grounded as it connects to the Mother. (pause) Next, I’d like you to imagine the light of the Soul above your head traveling upward to the realms. Allow the breath to travel from the point between your eyebrows, into the center of your head and then upward to the Soul and beyond. See yourself now, in your mind’s eye aligned and connected to heaven and earth. Know that you now have direct access to your higher wisdom, but also that you are fully tethered to the earth.

Now let us send upward our invocative appeal to the Spiritual realms. We ask to be filled with the fiery, initiating energy of Aries that we might be willing to let it burn away any obstacles to our journey. (pause) We asked to be filled with the energy of resurrection and renewal. May it be an uplifting force in our lives. Being filled with these potent energies and deeply connected to our Source of Wisdom we ask for clarity as we bring forth our questions for contemplation. Please feel free to pause the recording after each question if you wish to give yourselves more time to receive any impressions that may come forth.

  1. Where in my life to I feel stuck, rigid, or blocked?
  2. Am I willing to use the lightening bolt of Aries energy to break up my worn-out ideas, emotions, or structures? Can I imagine that happening right now?
  3. If I imagine that space now freed up, what is the new thing that can be given life and resurrected within you?

Let us give thanks now for any clarity that you received and for this special moment, this Festival of Easter, of resurrection and renewal. Let us bless whatever is wanting to come forth within us this next month. Let us bless our courage to bring it forth, our daring. Let us renew our minds, that they may be more perfect vessels for the Soul’s illumination. Let everything within us be resurrected, be made new that we might be of greater service.
