Kali day 11: Ghana: Nitya of Deconstruction
Om Ghanayai Namaha
Sun: 28 Aries
Moon: 29 Aquarius, 311 degrees from Sun, Balsamic
Inner Moon: transition between luteal and menstruation
Moon Vibes:
The mystic, deeply sensitive to psychic reality, energetic information, connection with disembodied energy like spirits. Ultra-creative, dream-like visionary with sharp mental acuity. Ethereal quality with little to no ego attachment. This phase relates with Samhain. In tantra yoga, this suryachara, ascending course of Sun, ascending out-breath moving upward from soft palette to third-eye. Relates with last quarter of day time and the element is air. In the hero’s journey, this is where we are sharing and offering the gifts and lessons learned. Preparation phase for the next call to adventure at new Moon.
Moon in Pisces:
Moon in Pisces relates with feet and pineal gland.
Moon in transition from Aquarius to Pisces today. But afternoon feeling the entire ocean from your one drop of consciousness. Moon 311° from Sun in balsamic phase, the phase right before new Moon. We are in tune with the energetic waves of information and most capable of changing the energetic imprints and patterns we’ve created.
Astrology info to consider:
Aries Sun at loose 90° with Capricorn Jupiter, pushing us to take action. Firey behavior and foundational structures. Act or not, the risk for being burned is there with Aries Sun.
Today is an important day for conversations about ♀️values and ♂️actions you need to take to be in alignment with those values. Venus/Mars at 120° with Mercury sextile both. This is all harmony and flow between ♀️♂️ and our communication piece, Mercury.
Nutrition suggestion:
Seaweed helps to balance water metabolism and remineralize your body. It also nourishes kidneys which filters blood. Today I’m recommending congee for it’s ability to detox and rehydrate the body.
- 1 cup of basmati rice.
- 4-6 cups of water.
- Add arame seaweed to your liking.
- To make it a little less bland, squeeze lime juice over the rice right before serving.
Eat warm in a cozy environment and be nourished.
Ritual:
Moon in Pisces today, the vibe is soft and dreamy. Create your own reality today, tune out of the outer world and tune in to your inner world. What helps you feel that? Feel like you are existing in your own reality bubble of your own creation. Maybe it’s getting creative, listening to music and dancing in your room, or wrapping up in your favorite blanket and closing your eyes. Tonight’s tea ritual is inspired by the healing waters of Pisces and connecting with pleasure to honor Friday as Venus’s day.
Begin your ritual by calling in the dreamy, universal love of Pisces. Create sacred space calling in your spirit guides and breathing all you awareness into your body.
- As you prepare the water for your tea, connect with the water. Send love and gratitude to your water, speak positive words to the water, infuse the intentions you are working with into your water.
- As you select the herbs for your tea, connect with the plants. Smell the herbs and send love and gratitude to the earth for growing these herbs.
- If you add honey to sweeten, thank the bees and the bee keeper who loves the bees.
- Let your tea steep on your altar while you take some time to sit and meditate on Universal Love or reflect in your journal… What does Universal Love mean to you? What does it feel like?
- When your tea is ready, take it in your hands and hold it to your chest, feel the warmth of this beverage made with love. Breath in and out of your heart space.
- Bring the tea to your lips as if to meet the lips of a lover, feel the tea blessing your throat with that same warmth of love.
- With every sip, be present to receive the pleasurable experience of drinking this tea made with love.
Conclude in gratitude.
Menstruation cycle and Moon:
What phase of your inner Moon cycle are you in? What hormones are most prominent? How does this relate with outer Moon’s climax, peak fertility, ovulation point? Remember, your cycle and Moon cycle do not need to match. Read more about the correspondences here.
Dreams:
Hypnagogia is the threshold between waking and dreaming states of awareness. Ego boundaries expand, associations between things blur, body falls asleep but mind is still awake. When giving massages, I’ll see people twitch and do the hypnagogic jerk. This magical state of awareness is the place Nikola Tesla and other creative geniuses reported receiving some of their greatest ideas. Before practicing the lucid dream induction techniques in hypnagogia, become aware of this phase of your sleep cycle. Try to stay at the edge of wake/sleep to extend hypnagogia. Maybe not on purpose, but you have been here before. Tomorrow we’ll practice getting lucid from the hypnogogic state.
