Recognition is the awakened capacity of our crown chakra. It is another word for illumination, just like the full moon, which makes it so easy to see what would otherwise be dark.
So, like the tippy top of a roller coaster ride, where there is a momentary pause to take in the vista of the surrounding landscape, a full moon is a moment when we move up through illuminated recognition. The full moon is a transitional moment when our awareness and energy reach their peak potential. There is a momentary pause where we become one with the light dissipating all shadows. This occurs month after month for our whole lives.
The full moon can also make humans a little bit crazy when they have not attempted to address the triggers of the past two weeks. The build-up has become too much, and the unpracticed energy in us tries to release two weeks’ worth of shadow awareness and grab for all the seven rights in one very often overwhelming full moon moment. This comes out as the opposition energy of the Sun and Moon, which are archetypal energies we carry within us all the time.
When we are aware of the benefits of full moon energy, we can work with this crescendoing drive proactively and show up in exciting ways that will bring the projects we are working on to full fruition in a consciously connected way.
Once we expend this natural full moon energy, we are ready to enjoy both the fruition of our journey and relax our drive a bit into the receptive power of the last half of the lunar month. We enter the waning half of the monthly moon phases, where the moon’s light gradually disappears as our energy for pushing depletes easier as we come down from
full moon energy. During this time, replenishing our inner light reserves becomes more natural.
The Chakras manifesting path resonates with the energy of the waning moon phases occurring in the last half of our lunar month. This is when we must come more fully into our “sense of being” in the flow.
The Waning Moon Universal Divine Flow
These two weeks of waning moon phases also teach us to open our chakra manifesting path. Here, the energy pours down from crown to root. It is a time when the universal light naturally replenishes us if we have developed the awareness to allow ourselves to open to intentional flow.
The manifesting current of universal divine flow doesn’t happen in a flash of light and then darkness. We have the following two-week waning moon timeframe to allow a bit more than we could when the moon waxed bright. This can be a lovely time to let the external light of the lunar month shine within us even as it fades. As moonlight diminishes, our inner light grows brighter.
We have two weeks each month to become more receptive to what we need.
The Seven Senses of Manifestation
On the manifesting current down the charkas, we can embrace the seven senses of manifestation that bring us into a state of being one with our intentions more fully:
The Seven Senses of the Chakra Manifesting current, moving from crown to root chakra, are our sense of connection, vision, integrity, love, empowerment, enjoyment, and belonging. On this path, our shadows have moved over the threshold of what we can do to heal our right to exist, feel, act, love, voice, see, and know.
On the manifesting chakra current path during the waning moon phase, our attachments become connections, our illusion becomes discernment, our corruption becomes integrity, our grief becomes wholeheartedness, our shame becomes empowerment, our guilt becomes enjoyment, and our fear becomes belonging.
It is an incredibly beautiful way that we are held by the ever-moving light of the moon every 29.5 days each month.
We are not designed to push perpetually. The 29.5 moon days each month teach us to honor the natural rhythm of waxing bright and waning deep. The four cardinal times of the moon phases each month are important checkpoints for the rest of the days that our moon passes through.
From our release on the new moon, assessing on the first quarter moon, to the showing up we are asked to do each waxing full moon, we begin the transcending arch toward Mother Nature’s manifestation. Once the moon begins its condescension of light, we enter the waning full moon, integrate on our last quarter moon, and release again, renewing the process of the next month’s new moon.
It is good to remember here that this is why we allow approximately three days for the quarter moons and three to four days for the new and full moons, depending on the percentage of lunar light and intensity of the tides.
So, as we move from the full moon to the new moon, let’s look a little deeper into these seven sacred senses of manifested being and how they correlate with our waning moon phase.
