Guest guest Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 My first spiritual teacher was a Shoshone-Cherokee Shaman named Rolling Thunder. Some of you know and have probably met him. He and Yogi Bhajan were together in Vancouver back in '76. Rolling Thunder once said to the small group of us living on his land ('77) that "a man has no business exposing himself to a full moon". For the longest time I couldn't understand why he said that until perhaps a year and a half later. I was in a place of a great emotional clarity, accessibility and lightness. Simply being alive was incredibly joyful. I was visiting a buddy at his apt. in NYC on the 17th floor, and I was standing about 3 inches away from a screen door looking out at a Full Moon that was still pretty low in the sky. I completely lost myself for a few moments/minutes and find myself being subtly but physically pulled into the screen. It was much more than a "sense". After all, the tides are driven by the moon. The Bay of Fundy ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bay_of_Fundy ) rises some 17 meters during a Full Moon, so what's the big deal with me being pulled three inches? So what Rolling Thunder (RT is what we called him) had said to us began to take on more importance. So fast forward a couple of decades and I have come to a new perspective. What RT was saying had to apply to men WITHOUT a beard. As would be the case most Native Americans have very little facial hair, if you haven't noticed (and it's not because Gillett has cornered that market). Us men have two Moon Centers (women have 11), one in the genitalia and one at the chin. Leaving the hair intact protects, for lack of a better word, this center. Yogiji taught us much about using times like this to leverage our efforts at getting more deeply aligned. The Endocrine activity is increased at this time (I fumble with the specifics). At any rate, if you are still carrying old emotional baggage, this would be the time to commit to its release. Sat Nam, Dharam Singh Millis, MA March 3: Full Moon is Saturday March 3 at 4:17 PM Mountain Standard Time with a total lunar eclipse at 3:45 PM (Mountain Time). This is an incredibly powerful time to refine your intentions and to make some decisions about how you might use the energy available to you this month. Eclipses always accompany opportunities for great change. The time between this eclipse and the next one on the 18th provides a window for accelerated growth, change, creativity, manifestation, and reaching for the next level of functioning.
