Preparations for the full moon
Physical Preparations
The first general preparation is to have as little sex as possible or none at all during the full moon period. If sexual energy is held and sublimated at the full moon time, it immediately goes to the throat center, and from there to the knowledge petals of your Lotus.
The second preparation is not to use any alcohol during the full moon period. When you drink alcohol at the full moon time, the effect is fifty times stronger than at any other time. Alcohol at full moon times spoils the magnetic rapport between the pineal, pituitary, and carotid glands.
The third preparation is not to use drugs, including marijuana. Marijuana is the most delicate, subtle poison. It enters you like a needle, but then it become a camel in you and you cannot get it out.
The fourth preparation is not to smoke cigarettes.
Emotional preparations
The first emotional preparation is to increase your lovingness, especially during the seven day full moon period.
The second emotional preparation is control of speech. Try to minimize your criticism, bad words, and cursing. Every time you misuse your speech, you burn your throat center. You do not need that, especially at the full moon time. In many monasteries, talking is completely forbidden during the entire seven day period of the full moon.
The third emotional preparation is calmness. As much as possible, try not to irritate yourself.
The fourth preparation is not to gossip and criticize and have ill will.
Mental preparations
Mentally, you must do your daily meditation, especially during the seven day full moon period.
The second mental preparation is to increase your reading — good reading, not newspapers, pornography, senseless books, etc. You do not need such reading material, especially during the full moon period. Read beautiful books, solemn books, books that polarize your spirit toward Beauty, Goodness, and Truth.
The third mental preparation is more difficult. Try to withdraw into your Higher Self. Imagine that you are walking, talking, thinking, and speaking in God. Who is God? God is the omnipresent Power Who is in your bones, in your hair, everywhere. . .but you are not aware of Him. During these days you must try to be aware of the fact that you are walking, living, and thinking in God. These are preparations for full moons in general.
