Summary

Why do we do meditations on the Full Moon? What’s the “dark of the moon?” Does… it have anything to do with Pink Floyd? Is the moon “feminine” energy and the sun “masculine” energy? And why should we pay attention to this at all?

This is my pragmatic-as-possible perspective on the super woo and super misperceptions about our relationship to the sun + moon—and why we should be very mindful about those connections. I’m also talking about Heart Centered Altars and creating those sacred spaces in our homes.

My Heart Centered Altar Kit walks you through how to create a personal altar in accordance with nature and astrological alignments—that’s dedicated to the well-being of all. So beautiful. This practice comes as a bonus when you become a Heart Centered Member. Explore here: daniellelaporte.com/membership

Meditate with me on the Full Moon, or on the New Moon for a community practice—or, purchase and download any one of my meditation kits for your personal practice. Whenever, wherever works for you.

My podcast theme is I AM LOVE, by DJ Drez feat. Marti Nikko. Available on Spotify + iTunes. Please support independent, positive music. xo

0:00.0	I'm Danielle Laporte.
0:07.0	And essentially, this is a one-woman show about self-realization called With Love, Danielle.
0:15.0	I'll be talking about compassion, self-help fatigue, sex, joy, serving the world. This is about a spirituality that's
0:23.6	way more rock and roll than it is oppressive. I am not into making grand motivational promises,
0:30.3	but I can commit to showing up as fully, sincerely, authentically as possible with the intention of really alleviating suffering
0:41.3	and amplifying joy just for starters. It's about doing everything I can to help all of us feel
0:47.3	a little less crazy, a lot more full of possibility and clearly part of the solution.
1:00.8	Hello, my loves.
1:03.3	Shall we talk about the moon?
1:04.7	Let's talk about the moon.
1:14.7	You may have noticed in my online presence that I do group meditations on the full moon and the new moon.
1:21.2	That is not because I'm out to like worship or adore the moon. It's not because I regard the moon as the divine feminine energy.
1:28.3	It's none of that at all.
1:33.3	We meditate at those particular times of the month in order to get in sync with the energies of that time of the month.
1:39.3	And when the moon is new,
1:47.4	so let me explain about new moons and dark of the moon.
1:54.4	The two days that happen before a new moon are called dark of the moon, also called the Kaliika moon or the Kali moon.
1:57.6	And that is when, you know, symbolically there's the least amount of light in the sky.
2:03.6	My experiences, those are the days when I feel the most guilt.
2:11.6	I feel a lot of water retention.
2:15.6	I feel the weight. I feel the stickiness. The idea with our spiritual
2:22.9	practices is to be in sync with the elements, to not go against them. So these dark, sticky,
