Introduction: How the moon and mind are connected
An old chant says the moon was born from the mind, so a full moon stirs up our thoughts and feelings. Many Indian festivals fall on one, and each Purnima here comes with its stories, a song and a full moon meditation.

Did you know the moon and our mind are secret best friends? An old chant says “Chandramaa Manaso Jaataha”: the moon was born from the mind of the universe!
That’s why, when the moon is full and shining like a big glowing balloon 🎈 in the sky, our thoughts and feelings feel extra floaty and sparkly too. It’s the perfect time to sit still, dream big and feel peaceful inside.
It’s also why so many Indian festivals happen around the full moon, full of joy and prayer.
So each Purnima here comes with its stories, a song to sing along to, and a special full moon meditation. Which full moon starts the Indian year?
