So during the 24 hours leading up to the full moon, it would be good to concentrate and focus. Now, for most people, having to take care of the business of daily life, etc, it may not work to be actively focused for 24 hours but try to find at least an hour to focus your consciousness – and if at all possible, let that hour be the 6o minutes leading up to the exact moment of the full moon.
Just like our heart beats in an exact rhythm, the energies of the cosmos are moved by a greater rhythm that is divinely exact and precise. At the precise hour of the full moon the energies are at their optimum strength and focus – not just at Wesak, but at every full moon. And so if we make it a focus to tune into this greater rhythm once a month, at the exact hour of the full moon, as we get into the rhythm of doing this, we can dramatically increase our energy level, our evolution, and our ability to serve. At the hour of the full moon the energies are the strongest.
How to Prepare for Wesak
As we have said, Wesak is the highlight of the year. At Wesak, high-level energies are pouring into the planet and our goal should be to make ourselves receptive to these energies, to absorb them, assimilate them and radiate them. Understanding this goal, we can prepare ourselves accordingly.
One of the most important ways to prepare ourselves for Wesak is to purify our physical body, emotional nature and mental body from as many hindrances as possible: unsupportive/ fear-based/ separative thoughtforms, ugly emotions, unhealthy food. Illusions, glamour and maya.
Why is purification before Wesak so important? Because at Wesak high level energies are released to the planet. When our energy field is pure and beautiful, we will be able to soak in the energies and they will lift us up and advance us on the way. However, when our energy field and aura is polluted with separative thoughtforms and decaying thoughtforms, with lower emotional forces and urges, with glamour, maya and illusion, the energies released at Wesak will stimulate the junk in our aura.
That‘s part of the reason why around the days of Wesak (and every full moon) crime, violence and such increase. The energies which are released by the Spiritual leadership of the planet will stimulate whatever is in our aura, both the „good and the bad“. At every full moon energies are released that stimulate those who work constructively as well as those who work destructively. That‘s why on the one hand, humanity continues to build the most destructive weapons of mass destruction while on the other hand people take to the streets to protest for world peace. The rise of extremes we see in our world today (both within ourselves and in the world at large) is a direct effect of the energies that are hitting the planet on a monthly basis, especially during the full moon periods.
When we purify our vehicles and aspire to grow during the days of Wesak, the energies hitting our planet will stimulate our aspiration. However, when we don‘t purify our nature, the energies will stimulate the fear-based forces in our aura and cause automatic, mechanical reaction.
