Amavasya: The Energy to Transcend

It is believed that the life process slows down on the day of Amavasya. When a certain slow down happens, that is when you notice the change. But, if you are occupied with something, you won?t be able to notice; the body is just you.

You must have heard that if people are mentally imbalanced, they become more imbalanced on the day of Amavasya. So, on that day, if you are mentally imbalanced, your brain will become more imbalanced. This happens because of the gravitational force of the moon on the earth. So, if you are looking for dissolution or liberation, Amavasya is the perfect day.

Whatever is your state, it gets a little more heightened because your blood is being pulled upward. So, the energy of entire world gets pulled in the upward direction. For a spiritual seeker who is always trying out different ways to enhance his/her energies, the Amavasya date or day is like a boon from mother nature.
