The ancient Vedas knew the power of the moon on this day as the perfect time to align your soul to its highest potential. The moon at this time is flowing fewer digestive juices in the stomach. A perfect time to rest our digestive system with water or fruit. A perfect time to practice Sadhana, to activate your potential, and bring alignment of your Multidimensional Self.

$22-$44 Sliding Scale
To clear karma from the Soul and protect it from negative forces.
Complete Mantra:
Bharee-ai hath pair tan dayh. Paannee dhotai utras khayh.
Moot paleetee kaparr ho-ei. Day saaboonn la-ee-ai oho dho-ei.
Bharee-ai mat paapaa kai sang. Oho dhopai naavai kai rang.
Punnee paapee aakhann naa-eh. Kar kar karnnaa likh lai jaaho.
Aapay beej aapay hee khaaho. Naanak hukamee aavaho jaaho. [20]
Translation:
When the hands and the feet and the body are dirty, water can wash away the dirt.
When the clothes are soiled and stained by urine, soap can wash them clean.
But when the intellect is stained and polluted by sin, it can only be cleansed by the love of the Name.
Virtue and vice do not come by mere words; actions repeated, over and over again, are engraved on the soul.
You shall harvest what you plant.
O Nanak, by the Hukam of the Divine Command, we come and go in reincarnation.

He united Ram Das with the philosopher’s stone,
And so made Him to become the philosopher’s stone.

Oh, my mind practice Yoga in this way:
Let Truth be your horn, sincerity your necklace, and meditation the ashes you apply on your body.
Catch your burning soul (self) and stop the flames. Let the soul (self) be the alms bowl in which you collect the sweet Naam and this will be the only support you will ever need.
The Universe plays its divine music. The sound of reality is shrill, but this is where God is.
When you listen to the reality from this place of awareness the sweet essence of Raag arises.
Waves of melodies, emotions, and passions arise and flow through you. Bind yourself with the song of God.
The Universe spins like a potter’s wheel and from it fly demons and angels. The sage listens to this and instead of getting caught in either one, the sage drinks in the nectar of the heavens and is carried to the heavens in a divine chariot.
Instruct and clothe yourself with self control. Meditate unto infinity until you are meditating without meditating.
In this way, your body shall remain forever golden, and death shall never approach you.
