Facets
Grand Cross
This Full Moon facets seven planets. However the 4 most essential planets type a Grand Cross with the Solar and Moon: Mars, Juno, Chiron, and Pluto.
The Moon’s tight opposition to Juno, together with the Solar’s placement in Libra, spotlight relationships. Juno is the goddess of dedicated partnership, whereas relationship Is the best-known which means of Libra.
Shadow work – the artwork of going through and therapeutic unresolved trauma – is stimulated by the opposite three planets.
The Moon is conjunct Chiron, the wounded healer. The luminaries sq. Pluto, lord of the underworld. He watches over the trauma buried in your unconscious, then helps you launch or rework it when the time is correct.

These could be extra fantastic than any feelings you’ve ever skilled. It’s solely after diving into the darkest depths which you can soar to essentially the most ecstatic heights!
Efficient Shadow Work Methods
I’ve been on the non secular path for nearly 50 years, and have tried many shadow work methods. In spite of everything this time, my backside line standards have change into:
Does this therapeutic strategy definitively heal trauma as soon as and for all? And does it accomplish that as rapidly, simply, and painlessly as potential?
After a lot trial and error, two therapeutic methods have reliably met these benchmarks again and again – each one-on-one with my Shamanic Therapeutic shoppers, and within the group processes of my Awakening Plus on-line membership.
One is my free Therapeutic Invocation. It delegates the therapeutic to your larger self, who does it much more successfully than any human may with out divine help. You merely invoke your larger self, then maintain your consideration on the discomfort as your larger self heals it for you.
My different go-to shadow work approach is Inside Household Methods Remedy (IFS). This modality enables you to unburden and reintegrate the wounded components of you that trigger your struggling. I think about IFS to be shamanic soul retrieval, however introduced as psychology.
IFS is normally facilitated by somebody skilled on this modality. Nonetheless you possibly can information your self utilizing books similar to
Self-Remedy: A Step-By-Step Information to Creating Wholeness and Therapeutic Your Internal Baby Utilizing IFS …by Jay Earley. I take advantage of the same strategy in my Self-Guided IFS Course, which is included with every Awakening Plus membership.
After all, there are numerous different efficient shadow work approaches. What I can state with certainty is that shadow work needn’t take without end, and needn’t require any struggling.
A core shamanic precept is: “it’s a must to really feel it to heal it.” Approaches similar to my Therapeutic Invocation and IFS allow you to really feel the ache one final time, with out overwhelm, so you possibly can put it behind you as soon as and for all. Mental approaches can solely get you up to now with out a “really feel and heal” element.
Why Shadow Work Accelerates Religious Awakening

Efficient shadow work clears the trauma, which routinely opens you to deeper awakening. (In my invocation guide, On the spot Divine Help, I describe this utilizing the metaphor of the “Nice Onion of Consciousness.”)
Most of us have been conditioned to keep away from the ache of unhealed trauma nevertheless we will. Nonetheless, it’s by skillfully going through and therapeutic trauma that you simply’ll expertise the best achievement, happiness, and non secular awakening!
Different Nice Methods to Use the Full Moon Grand Cross
