Libra keep in a flow of life
At the full moon you are naturally accelerated, and you
are naturally brought down during a new moon. Your
biofeedback moves from full moon to new moon, and
from new moon to full moon. That’s natural. But on the
eleventh day of the moon, you just live on water and
melon, your health will be perfect.Yogi Bhajan, August 1, 1996
The next full moon on Friday, April 19, is the bladder meridian. This meridian has more points than any other meridian so can affect many areas. Together the bladder and the kidneys relate to the second chakra, the water element. Key is to keep in a flow of life, meaning no resistance. Remember, over time, water can shape the earth. Fear causes us to tighten. If we tighten, we become cold and frozen. Follow these suggestions to help get in a flow using the power of this full moon energy.
