Hunt in the Moonlight
Today is the second full moon of Autumn: The Hunter’s Moon. In yoga, we normally practice Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutations to build heat / fire in our bodies and minds. Today I honor the moon - the nurturing energy that embodies the divine feminine with a version of Chandra Namaskar or Moon Salutation.
Tonight, when you are illuminated by the light of the full moon, I invite you to embody Artemis, the goddess of the hunt. Instead of aiming your arrow outward, point in. Pull back the bow string and find the tension that rests inside. What is holding you back from being the most luminous you? As you loose the arrow, feel the vibration of the string, the precision of the bow, and the purity of your intention. Then soften. Remember: In the act of becoming, you already are.
