Spiritual Importance
of Meditation On the Full Moon
The
time of the full moon is a period when spiritual energies
are uniquely available and facilitate a closer rapport between
humanity and the Hierarchy. Each month the inflowing energies
carry the specific qualities of the constellation influencing
the particular month; these energies playing sequentially
upon humanity, establish the "divine attributes"
in the consciousness of humanity.

Full Moon Meditation:
Why Meditate?
- To learn to relax: physically, emotionally
and mentally

- 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

Outline of Meditation by
Christ College of Trans-Himalayan Wisdom
Begin by focusing on the
breath. This is maintained throughout the meditation. Then
visualize the following: Light entering the physical/etheric
body, dissolving all tension and filling it with light.
Light entering the emotional
body dissolving all trauma and filling it with light.
Light entering the mental
body unravelling old thought forms and filling it with light.
See yourself as a sphere
of light.
A ball of light above the
head which you focus on as the soul.
A ball of light above the
group which you focus on as the group soul.
A ball of light above the
group which you focus on as the Spiritual Hierarchy.
A ball of light above the
Hierarchy which you focus on as the Will of God or Shamballa.
Return to the Hierarchy
and see the Christ as the source of Love at the centre.
Return to the group soul
and meditate upon the mantra of the current Sun sign.
Return to the soul and
see the light of the soul descending through the charkas
and anchoring at the centre of the Earth.
See the light rise to the
heart centre, form a ball of pink light of loving kindness,
and then move out to link all the hearts in the group in
this light.
See the Earth at the centre
of the circle and see each person or aspect of Earth life
that appears in your mind to be touched by loving kindness.
Return the light of your
heart and see yourself infused by loving kindness.
Focused as the soul, say
the Great Invocation.

Suggestions for individual and group meditation by Path of Light:
1. Sit quietly with your mind receptive,
and open to receive spiritual energies. Do all that you
can to meditate at exactly the time of the full moon. Afterward,
continue in stillness for perhaps 20 minutes.
2. Make notations on thoughts or ideas
that come to you. These can appear as knowledge, wisdom,
understanding, or inspiration. Even if you think nothing
happened, you may find that in a few days new ideas will
appear to you. Assume that some kind of impression has been
received in your higher mind and it is circling overhead
waiting for a place to land.
3. Develop the ability to listen within as you go about
your daily schedule. This is a similar process to remembering
an important dream. The frequencies of dream realities are
different than the rational concrete mind. This transference
process requires stillness and patience, along with an optimistic
attitude. Once your conscious brain can align with the higher
mind and soul, the stream of light can reach you as words
and picture symbols.
4. Following each spiritual
impact, look for ways to create a better life, to encourage
the essence or soul life of yourself and of those you can
reach. Look for ways to free up time by identifying the
essentials (and non-essentials) in your life. These ideas
can be exceptionally simple, something that can be begun
without a great fanfare of money or time or staff. Usually,
we see practical possibilities that were invisible before,
suddenly become obvious.
5. The entire zodiac can
be understood from the angle of light. This light is the
inner light of the soul. Its unfolding radiance is the manifestation
of our divine nature. A study of the 12 different lights
for each of the constellations of the zodiac reveals the
symbolic story of the growth of the light body, within the
Soul of Humanity and within each of us. This gradually reveals
the purpose of God
6. These group meditations
are to increase the channel of reception for the energies
of light and love. We are using our minds as a channel to
receive the energies of light, love, and power
7.
The moment of the full moon each month offers the greatest
opportunity for meditation especially in groups focused
on cooperating with the divine Plan or Intention for our
world.
The rhythmic nature of
the soul's meditation is like the ebb and flow in all nature.
In the tides of the ocean we have a clear picture of an
eternal law... and the cyclic response to soul impulses
lies back of a morning meditation, a noon re-alignment,
and an evening review. (Adapted from notes by A. A. Bailey)
The energies that are uniquely
available at the full moon - when rightly understood, received
and transmitted in meditation - are helpful for humanity
to move towards its spiritual goal as a center of consciousness
within the One in Whom we live and move and have our being.
This is the essential objective of monthly full moon meditation
meetings.
In
preparation for group meditation, the most significant part
of the work is to become aligned and integrated as a group,
open in consciousness to the Hierarchy and the Christ as
head of the Hierarchy, and to form a channel of energy communication
in human consciousness. In undertaking the service of full
moon meditation, the aim is to work imaginatively as members
of the new group of world servers, dedicated to world service.
Spiritually and telepathically the group is one, and the
work is one.
These group meditations are based on the science of energy,
which recognises that all is energy and energy follows thought.Even
the smallest atom of substance contains within it that which
can respond to spiritual energy and stimulation.
The
effect of meditation is invoking higher, spiritual energies
and place these energies within the world of men. This double
activity is the secret of creative meditation. It invokes
the higher energies, and creates a channel of contact between
soul and spirit. It also evokes and creates dynamic movements
within humanity for needed changes.
:
Approach to the Hierarchy:
"He who faces
the light and stands within its radiance is blinded to the
issues of the world of men; he passes on the Lighted Way
to the great Centre of Absorption. But he who feels the
urge to pass that way, yet loves his brother on the darkened
path, revolves upon the pedestal of light and turns the
other way.
"He faces towards
the dark, and then the seven points of light within himself
transmit the outward streaming light, and lo! the face of
those upon the darkened way receives that light. For them
the way is not so dark. Behind the warriors--twixt the light
and dark--blazes the light of Hierarchy."
Letting in the Light by Lucis Trust:
I GROUP FUSION.
Link up in consciousness
with your soul and the group soul, composed of all the many
individuals and groups throughout the world who working
in meditation at this time of the full moon opportunity.
Say with heartfelt intent:
"I am one with
my group brothers and all that I have is theirs.
May the love, which is in my soul, pour forth to them.
May the strength, which is in me, lift and aid them.
May the thoughts, which my soul creates, reach and encourage
them."
II ALIGNMENT.
Attain an inner point of
quiescence and poise, aligning within the center of all
love. Through a process of spiritual inbreathing, raise
the consciousness to as high a point as possible, in alignment
with the spiritual Hierarchy, the World Teacher at the heart
of Hierarchy and extend the alignment to include the center
Shamballa.
You can xxtend the line
of light towards Ashram of Sanat Kumara; towards the Christ
at the heart of Hierarchy, in addition towards Shamballa,
the centre where the Will of God is known.
III HIGHER INTERLUDE.
Stand within the high point
of spiritual tension, holding the higher mind poised and
quiescent, receptive to spiritual impression. Breath in
the energy of the Hierarchy.
Hold the contemplative mind open to the extra-planetary
energies streaming into Shamballa and radiated through Hierarchy.
Using the creative imagination, endeavour to see the three
planetary centres-Shamballa, Hierarchy, and Humanity-gradually
coming into alignment and interplay.
IV MEDITATION.
Within the light of the
higher mind, reflect upon the seed thought under consideration.
Consider the inner meaning and symbolic importance behind
the words.
Reflect on the seed thought - using the appropriate keynote
for the zodiacal sign.
V PRECIPITATION.
Breath out the energy contacted,
visualizing the energy of divine love radiating throughout
the group and outward to the world. Feel yourself as part
of the divine circulatory flow of the energy love that penetrates
all planes and states of consciousness.
Using the creative imagination, visualise the energies of
Light, Love and the Will-to-Good pouring throughout the
planet and becoming anchored on Earth in prepared physical
plane centres through which the Plan can manifest. (Use
the six-fold progression of divine Love as the sequence
of energy precipitation- Shamballa/Hierarchy/the Christ/the
new group of world servers/men and women of goodwill everywhere
in the world/physical centres of distribution.)
VI LOWER INTERLUDE.
Re-center the consciousness
within the periphery of the great Ashram. Holding that point
of tension, extend the alignment as high up into the head
as high as possible. Hold the mind poised and quiescent.
Sound the affirmation:
In the center of all
love I stand.
From that center, I the soul, will outward move.
From that center, I the one who serves, will work.
May the love of the divine self be shed abroad
In my heart, through my group, and throughout the world.
Visualize a lighted band
of energy, the "Pathway of Light", projecting
from the group mind into the waiting and receptive united
group personality. Consider our individual and group responsibilities
towards preparing human consciousness for the externalization
of the Hierarchy and the reappearance of the World Teacher,
the Christ
VII DISTRIBUTION.
As The
Great Invocation is sounded, release the energies, visualise
the ououring - of Light and Love and Power from the spiritual
Hierarchy, through the five planetary inlets-- New York,
London, Geneva, Darjeeling, and Tokyo.. See them circulating
and irradiating the consciousness of the whole human race
throughout the planet via the five pointed star of energy
distribution

Great Invocation
