NEW MOON MANIFESTATIONS
Today is a New Moon: How can we work more consciously with this energy?
On the New Moon the moon is at its least visible in the sky, and the sun doesn’t reflect back its light to us at all. This happens because the moon is directly between Earth and the Sun, with its shadowed side pointing towards us.
Energetically speaking this means that rather than being guided by an external force (the sun’s light) we are guided by our internal force—the lunar force—which represents our mind.
This means that we will be naturally more inclined to introspection on the New Moon, and to be more quiet and wanting to take time to contemplate.
When we work consciously with this force rather than resisting it, or believing something is wrong with us because we don’t feel so socially outgoing etc., we honor and align ourselves with the natural lunar rhythm.
After the New Moon (and only after the new moon time has passed—pay attention to this), the moon starts growing again, and we, our intentions and visions can grow with it.
This is a time to Manifest
There's a lot of talk about manifestation, and a lot of promises being thrown around out there.
But what does it actually mean to manifest?
From a yogic perspective manifestation happens when our mind is in a state of one pointed focus. Our auras then determines our reality, because it is the physical manifestation of our mind. The aura is an electromagnetic field, and just like a magnet, it attracts and repels. Whatever shows up in our mind, moves into our aura and determines what comes into our lives.
But we are not dealing only with our conscious mind—we are under influence of our subconscious mind too. This is why kundalini yoga works as such a powerful practice because it cleans the subconscious mind and changes our patterns and thoughts, thus changing the aura and what shows up for us in life.
Manifestation then becomes that which we set as a pattern or baseline frequency for ourselves, by rewiring how we think, relate to others, what we believe about ourselves etc. The practice of Kundalini Yoga can do that for us, and it can also be done through a conscious process of choosing and affirming for ourselves the values and beliefs we want to have, or by working with our neurology and psyche with various methods.
Whatever we can hold in our conscious mind with absolute conviction, pure belief and certainty, that is what will show up for us.
Your manifestations become more powerful and effective when you are aligned with your Infinite Identity
I’m sure we have all tried to manifestation—make the list, repeat the affirmations, write down the daily number of money we want to have come in, etc. And perhaps with varying results.
It wouldn’t surprise me the least if you felt reluctant or skeptical about the process of manifesting—I know I have felt that way, many times.
What really changed the process for me, was when I started to really get in touch with a higher force—aligning myself with my Infinite Identity rather than the more personality based finite one.
What does that actually feel or look?
Well, it doesn’t have to look any particular way actually, but for me there was definitely an outer identity shift that took place. When I started getting in touch with who my Infinite Self was, and how that part of me wanted to look like, and I started honoring that, that certainly changed my aura because people started relating to me differently, and the reflections I received was affirming more my Infinite Identity than my personality choices.
But it doesn’t look any one way in terms of exactly what to wear, or how to present yourself—that’s a personal choice and a personal journey—and this is just one of the ways in which we can start identifying more closely with our Infinite Identity.
I encourage you to think about how and for who you dress.
Our identity gets affirmed when we interact with other people—that’s just a fact, even if we might try to ignore that or we don’t believe it to be so—well, I believe that we are then downplaying the effects of human interaction and societal influence on us. Why not use it consciously as a tool, rather than try to ignore the facts?
Uniforms are often part of a spiritual system, because it downplays the personality and finite identity, and makes more room for the Infinite Self, and that which lies beyond the interactions and messaging that happens through how we dress / code our aura.
You could ask yourself: what does my Infinite Identity uniform look like?
Times of solitude has been used as a tool for spiritual advancement since forever
When we spend time alone it means our identity doesn’t get confirmed by others. That’s why solitude is often a part of a spiritual system or spiritual development. When we meditate, or when we do our practice early in the morning, we are also retreating from the world and spending time with our Infinite Self. As a householder, longer retreats or times of solitude might not be possible, but they also aren’t necessary in this system (Kundalini Yoga) because we have so many other tools available that can help.
What does being in touch with your Infinite Identity feel like?
When we are less guided by our finite selves and our Infinite Identity takes over, life becomes incredibly impersonal.
We are less caught up in the dramas—of everybody else, of our own emotions, of whatever circumstances we might find ourselves to be in—because we don’t really live or die anymore. We have full trust and understanding that we are infinite beings, here way beyond this lifetime only.
Nothing is that big a deal, yet we understand that everything is incredibly sacred, and not a moment or an opportunity is wasted.
We know that we are only here for a short amount of time, and we are here for a purpose and a mission, and we are ready to do what it takes to get it done, and to deliver. We do our best, whatever that currently looks like in every moment, and we constantly ask ourselves questions like:
What is the best course of action for me right now?
What’s the most valuable thing I can do with my time right now?
This also means that the concept of manifestation changes.
We are not looking to manifest for our limited self, or for our own selfish needs.
When we are living through our Infinite Self, our manifestations becomes that which serves our highest purpose.
Manifesting from the point of the Infinite Identity
Whatever the soul needs to fulfill its destiny, that’s what we are constantly praying to receive and call in.
When we manifest in this way we receive that which truly fulfills us on a soul level.
You wouldn’t believe how many things I have manifested (from a finite desire) that, once they came through, turned out to be actually completely wrong for me.
I have no doubt that I can manifest—I’ve pulled in some crazy stuff. But much of it was just my idea of what success looked like, what I thought might make me happy, something I saw another person experience or have that I wanted to have etc. And a lot of it turned out to be a distraction—just an experience or material gain on the way but not that which truly made an impact or difference in my life.
I am now solely focused on manifesting from a point of Infinite Self, and it means that when something comes in, I trust that it is the right thing, and I am also not getting impatient with my process, because I know that if something isn’t coming in it might be because it simply isn’t what I need to carry out my purpose in this life.
There’s a completely difference sense of ease and trust, that isn’t available in the “hungry ghost realm” of finite desires and manifesting just for the sake of having more.
Use this new moon day to gain clarity
The time between the New Moon and the Full Moon is a time when our prayers and manifestations are naturally growing as the light of the moon grows (and if you are looking to literally plant and grow something the new moon is also the time to sow the seeds).
With the New Moon we have a greater opportunity to still ourselves, become quiet and spend time in solitude and connect more deeply with our Infinite Identity.
Pray for the answers: Look at where you need help, assistance, or maybe even divine interventions or a miracle. If you aren’t sure, pray that the answer will come to you.
Solidify the process by creating a new pattern: Our words are incredibly powerful, so start making some affirmations that support you in where you want to be in life. Avoid sentence with “not”, like fx: I am not living in this apartment anymore. Focus on positive affirmations that are stated as if they already happened to you, fx: I live in a beautiful and peaceful home that I love.
Use the affirmation until your manifestation has come true, or until new clarity comes to you, and don’t forget to add prayers to your infinite self like I am calling in that which serves my highest purpose, I am living my highest destiny etc.
Add prayers for others + gratitude: one of the most powerful forces on the planet is gratitude. It amplify our magnetism, creates radiance and is one of the highest frequency states one can be in. Before manifesting I always think of at least three things that I am grateful for. Praying for others also amplify the state of love and acceptance, and if you are a parent or partner to someone it is your obligation to pray for them.
The Moon will assist you in growing your prayers, and will help to amplify and solidify them.
Q: Can you only manifest on the New Moon?
A: It is advices that you don’t initiate something new or start working with a new affirmation between the Full and New Moon, but you can absolutely continue your work of affirmations + prayers and gratitude (highly encouraged actually) in the dark phase of the moon too. Some people switch their affirmations and intentions after the moon is full, and focus instead on what they would like to let go of. But if you have something you would like to call in or you are working with an affirmation to change a behavior or pattern, don’t stop just because the New Moon phase has passed.
