New Moon In Pisces Solar Eclipse

March 8th New Moon in Pisces / Solar Eclipse

From Molly's Astrology.com

The New Moon is the beginning of the waxing phase of the Lunar cycle, or the two weeks when the Moon increases in light. We can use the energy of the increasing light of the Moon to plant seeds, both literally and figuratively. We start new projects, buy new things, make new contacts. Things we start in the world outside during this time tend to grow. Farmers use this time to plant above-ground crops.

A Solar eclipse is a very special New Moon. Things that are begun between the eclipse and the next Full Moon (about 2 weeks), seeds we plant, projects we undertake, contacts we make, and intentions we set, take on added significance 6 months down the road.

With the New Moon being in Pisces, this may also represent a sensitive period to the spiritual world. According to Stars Like You:

When the Moon is found in Pisces, your emotions are likely to be pronounced. Pisces is the final sign of The Zodiac, and has much to do with sensitivity – to oneself, to other people, and to the mysterious, unseen forces that shape our world. With the Moon in Pisces, you are likely to be strongly influenced by the compassionate, creative, imaginative, romantic and idealistic aspects of life.

On an instinctive level, you may have a natural affinity with the abstract or intuitive. This affinity can be a blessing, or a curse. The quality of your journey will have much to do with how prepared you are to recognize these sensitivities, and give them the respect that they deserve. You are likely to be able to sense the hidden or energetic levels of life, soaking up atmospheres as if you were a sponge. Your feelings about people and situations are likely to be immediate, accurate and intense. Understanding that your feelings provide valuable information, but can lead you astray sometimes, means that you will need to learn to recognize the difference between an intuitive response to something, and an emotional reaction that is based on your opinion of whatever is going on.

There is also good news, however, according to Crystal B. Astrology, this is a SUPER-super charged New Moon - so follow the emotions as the blessing, not the curse. Focus on what you want...if you ask, you shall receive. However, if you simply just wait/wonder/lament about the things you don't have, the cycle will continue, and more of what you don't want will come to fruition.

I have received guidance to utilize the energy from this grand celestial event to not only attract what we desire using the new moon energy, to not only supercharge intentions for our family towards balance using the Solar eclipse but to also re-inform the universe of balance and abundance for all utilizing the energy of the spring equinox.

Silent Mind Meditation Insight 1

SM Meditation insight 1:
Fact to experience - Life is A struggle.
Experience :
The birth of a child is called labor - to work hard. 
From entering this world we are taught that this life begins with us kicking and screaming and ends with us kicking and screaming.
Through deep insight meditation I desired to experience this concept of life as a struggle, and unravel the inner teachings.
I realised that a struggle or labor is the modus operandi of the logical mind, we visualise a goal and actively work towards achieving this goal thus creating a state of constant struggle, constant want, constant desire. If I desire to be non attached, then my goal has changed to the lack of attachment and my new struggle is to release the bond attachments have on me or the links I have to situations / individuals.

The deeper I went into meditating on the fact my mind manifested a response, The answer to this dilemma of struggle is to simply BE, for we are human Beings, as the plant grows towards the light wanting not, worrying not, struggling not, expecting not, so too does the enlightened soul ascend the logical mind into higher states of consciousness, void of time or expectations..
The word that was impressed upon me was non-expectation, without expectations we can practice BEING, observing the present and accepting as it is wanting not, struggling not, enjoying the serenity of the NOW.

Silent Mind Meditation insight 2

SM Meditation insight 2:
Fact to experience - Pursuit of an Ideal
Experience :Ideal satisfying one's conception of what is perfect; most suitable.

While meditating upon the Pursuit of an Ideal, my mind automatically formed the word perfection, and slowly dismantled all notions surrounding it. Each individual has their own Ideals, their own morals, their own values, each society , community and religion as well. The pursuit of an ideal brought an explosion of laughter within my being, as it came to my awareness that we are perfect, we engross ourselves in a cycle that is never ending, great spirit created man in all his perfection, we are Ideal, and to pursue this ideal and reap any awareness from it is to realise that we ARE perfect, and accept ourselves as we are unhindered by society, be aware of who you are and what you feel from each moment to moment, experience that grace for the gift of awareness, the ability to be associated with a group yet retain your individual consciousness is amazing, the Ideal is 0, a state between negatives and positives, a space of creation, a space of non movement, the void spoken of in the christian bible from which all matter is created, the constant state of NOW. Yet this is my finding I invite you to seek Your TRUTH.

Sm Meditation insight 3 - Self Confidence

SM Meditation insight 3:
Fact to experience - Self-Confidence
Experience : Self - Confidence a feeling of trust in one's abilities, qualities, and judgment.

Confidence is a rain drop in the lake of our lives, that if traced carries us to the river, which connects us to the sea of global awareness, for to have Self-Confidence requires identification of self, Self is not the EGO , Ego is part of self as the droplet is a part of the sea.
Secondly Confidence is tied into Honesty, for first we must accept who we are, then be honest with ourselves and the world this is not an easy task for many.
Finally with arriving in the sea of global consciousness we realise that confidence is courage to be congruent, The strength to be honest with ourselves, with all our flaws.
All who quest upon this path find that we should embrace our imperfections, Self-Confidence is courageously accepting this journey and accepting what we find.

This is my findings what are yours...

SM Meditation Insight 4
Fact to experience - Accumulation of Attachments

Experience gained : attached - joined or fastened to something.

Accumulation of attachments is a subconscious process that once initiated consumes an individual slowly until identity and freedom is lost. This is comparable to the unquenchable fire from the christian bible, this flame will not die until it consumes all in its path, from birth we believe that attachments are required for survival, attachment to our name, our family, our title, our job, our friends, our partners, our nation, our educational institution , our community. With the accumulation of several connections over time the individual loses sight of self and the original soul contract this existence / experience was intended for. I invite you to enter the space of Non-Attachment, not being attached does not indicate lack of empathy or compassion, this indicates a conscious decision to be congruent, to act as soul desires iregardless of another's view, the path of non-attachment has been portrayed to many as a lonely path void of love. I will shine some light on this concept, the truth is that Non-attachment leads to non-judgement and non-suffering, in the vibration of attachment the love that is shared will be conditional, dependent upon expectations, attached to perceived desires , once these desires are not met then begins the onset of suffering. From the space of non-attachment there is no judgement, we accept things as they are, there is no suffering we do not dwell on what could have been, we simply delight in what is and always will be.

Silent Mind Meditation Insight 5: Man God's After Image

My Insight I received today was while doing a Trataka meditation, this involved focusing on a candle until my eyes got watery then with my eyes closed focusing on the after image holding it for as long as I could, during this meditation below details the insights I received this was a first time experience as I would normally gain insights after my trataka meditation not during.

Experience:

As I focused on the flame I saw small sparks of energy and the beautiful glow in the rainbow colors emanate from this small wick before, I felt a sense of peace, giving into this peace I closed my eyes and focused on the after image a small yellow tear drop shaped glow with a green and purple outline amidst the pitch black backdrop of my closed eyes.
As I focused on this after image observing as it shrank to nothingness before me from the pitch black appeared a scene.
I observed Spirit, the creator desiring an experience, manifesting a woman on earth to have this experience, spirit was not seen but I was aware that the pitch black darkness that surrounds this woman felt familiar to the pitch black of my closed eyes, to allow this woman to have an experience of forgiveness spirit had to create another individual to harm her and from that encounter she experienced forgiveness , I observed as the woman , the man, the entire scene disappeared returning to darkness similar to my afterimage of the candle. 
I then observed as  Spirit created several individuals, animals plants our world in this darkness, desiring several experiences , as each experience was accomplished that manifestation would fade and return to spirit.
I observed special souls that though created to have an experience they were aware of this fact, they communicated with spirit, I observed how there afterimage grew in color, it was extremely vivid impossible to fade out , these individuals through communicating with spirit assisted the other manifestations with accomplishing their initial desire, their soul contract, their purpose for being manifested after observing this my mind returned to the pitch black of my closed eye lids.

Gratitude to Anmol Mehta for introducing me to several meditation techniques which have become a part of my regular practice.
