I am often told that full moon's are auspicious for meditating. Personally i dont buy it. The full moon was chosen by people before calendars etc. A neat way of identifying a time to meet and carry out some religious ceremony on a regular basis through the year...and a full moon makes it easier on travelling as well.

The reflection of the Sun onto the Earth from the moon has no effect on my meditation and I can see no reason why it should. I think it is another example of something done for purely practical reasons losing its understanding and people misinterpreting why it is done. Religion is littered with such things.


Actually tonight is Guru purnima...the full moon day in July when people remember their Guru, which is nice, but its as special as one wishes to make it.
