🌕 FULL MOON IN AŚLEṢĀ
Shedding, Sacred Entanglement & the Power of Release
Sunday, February 2 • 5:30pm at The Shala ✨
Aligned with the deep-winter threshold — when what binds us is revealed and what no longer serves must be shed.
🌟 Theme: The Serpent Moon & the Art of Uncoiling
Aśleṣā is the lunar mansion of the serpent — the power that binds, constricts, protects, poisons, and heals.
This is not a gentle nourishment moon.
This is a truth-telling moon.
Aśleṣā rules emotional enmeshment, subconscious attachments, ancestral patterns, and the invisible coils we live inside without realizing it.
Ruled by the Nāgas, ancient serpentine beings of wisdom and the underworld waters, Aśleṣā teaches us:
what we cling to
what clings to us
and how liberation begins with awareness before force
Under this Full Moon, the psyche becomes permeable.
Old contracts surface. Emotional cords reveal themselves.
The body remembers where it has been holding on for safety.
This moon doesn’t ask you to fix anything.
It asks you to see clearly — and to let the shedding happen in its own time.
✨ Together, this creates a portal of:
🐍 deep emotional truth
🐍 safe unraveling of old patterns
🐍 nervous-system release without overwhelm
🐍 reclaiming power from unconscious bonds
🐍 sacred discernment over what stays and what goes
This is a potent night for cord-softening, boundary repair, and embodied honesty.
✨ You’ll Experience:
🐍 Aśleṣā Serpent Awareness Practice
A guided somatic meditation to sense where energy is tangled, constricted, or over-bound — without force or analysis.
🌙 Slow, Grounded Lunar Movement
Subtle, wave-like movements to support release through the spine, belly, and jaw — calming the vagus nerve and unwinding stored tension.
📿 Nāga Mantra & Protection Ritual
A grounding mantra practice to invoke discernment, protection, and wise boundaries while releasing what is no longer needed.
🕯 Shedding & Release Candle Rite
A simple ritual of unbinding — naming what you are ready to loosen without drama or self-judgment.
🎶 Deep Rest & Sound Bath
A holding field for integration, allowing the nervous system to settle after emotional truth-telling.
