  • Contemplate the Lunar Cycle

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

    You can allocate and reserve more time for longer, deeper spiritual contemplation sittings or meditation practice during periods that coincide with the full and new moons. These lunar phases are ideal for impacting deep levels of the psyche and, therefore, are highly conducive for altering awareness to access higher, finer states of consciousness.
