In meditation, it’s important for the practitioner to understand that for long-term benefits, it is generally easier to meditate productively during the phase from the new moon to the full moon, rather than from the full moon to the new moon. The first half of the lunar cycle focuses on intensification, gathering, and accumulation, while the second half emphasizes processing and distributing. Adhering to this natural rhythm can lead to more sustained progress over time. By effectively channeling newly gained energy, the group ensures the continuous flow of both incoming and outgoing forces, preventing emotional, mental, and psychic blockages, which could otherwise lead to physical repercussions.

“The Soul’s meditation is rhythmic and cyclic in Its nature as is all else in the cosmos. The Soul breathes and Its form lives thereby. The rhythmic nature of the Soul’s meditation must not be overlooked in the life of the aspirant. There is an ebb and flow in all nature, and in the tides of the ocean we have a wonderful picture of an eternal law… the idea of a cyclic response to Soul impulses lies back of the activities of a morning meditation, a noonday recollection, and an evening review. A larger ebb and flow is also indicated in the two aspects of the full moon and the new moon.” (Alice A. Bailey)
