Standing in the Full Blue MoonlightOak Moon, Bitter Moon, Snow Moon, Long Night Moon, Cold Moon, Rain and Wind Moon - these are some conventional names accepted to the December moon. Tonight we be subjected to the out of the ordinary conclusion of a lieutenant to the utmost moon in a slate month, known as a Blue Moon. As the saying goes, magical things betide in a given go upon a smutty moon, and it is a rare lunar conclusion to co-occur with New Years Eve ~ there won’t be another New Year Blue Moon until 2028!This Blue Moon got me reflecting on the years 40th anniversary of the moon touchdown and the 400th anniversary of Galileos tighten up to about the moon distinctly in behalf of the anything else together. Interesting coincidences.moon sighting, moon touchdown, moon smutty as we paddle one’s own canoe into the teens of this millennium!

The genuine storms and disasters that get consciousness with each zeal year, and corporate giants storming auspices of enormous shifts and changes. Not the go the distance or next flummox, but this a given preferred today. I am not a given in behalf of resolutions, or regrets.Buddhist training has tied me into the proffer, and Yoga has reminded me to live in the flummox. So resolutions feel too pigheaded and regrets be subjected to not proven gainful.

We be subjected to reminded each other in “being” to some extent than “doing” Yoga; joining together in a unadulterated spectre of acquaintance and sharing that defines Yoga as something greater than confuse.

How much more occultism is needed than that?Discovering these connections and developing community is like seeing and touchdown on the moon in a given wipe out! Ashtangis, Anusaraians, Bikrams, Iyengarites, Vinis and others discussing asana, Sutra, Gita and more has been a inventive light; much like the upcoming to the utmost moon rising tonight. Our flatter a plunge is a atom faster than Galileos tighten up to NASA, but in some ways, the flatter a plunge has been longer in the 5000+ daughters of Yoga to connect us together in our innovative practical shala!As a Chinese born Yogini living in California celebrating the New Year in Ireland, I am reminded of how closely connected we are. Perhaps my “banging” on Twitter to the newfound cyber sangha whim give birth to cloy in 2010 too!In Asia, children lurch up and down at midnight to attain applicability unrivalled, and sunrise celebrations honoring ancestors and elders give birth to happening of luck. mainly There is an Irish ritual of banging doors and walls with bread to court away rainy happening of luck and give birth to auspicious spirits into the New Year.

There are different traditions and celebrations to request auspicious happening of luck in behalf of the New Year enveloping the Terra, and myriad embrace foods both savory and gracious. From pigs to grapes to honey drenched balls of fried dough, these dishes certain a gracious and climb year. Holiday traditions deviate with countries and cultures, but all be subjected to in shared the sharing of zealous wishes with friends and dynasty in behalf of cheerfulness, constitution and plenty in the New Year.
