The New Moon, or Amavasya, has long been considered a special time for reflection, renewal, and spiritual growth. Across many traditions, this lunar phase marks a fresh beginning, a quiet pause before a new cycle begins
. Just as the Moon gradually grows brighter after the New Moon, this period is often seen as an opportunity to plant new intentions, reconnect with yourself, and embrace positive transformation.
According to yogic teachings, the New Moon carries a unique energetic influence. The connection between the Earth and the Moon is believed to be particularly strong during this phase, creating favourable conditions for meditation and inner work. For spiritual seekers, it is a time when turning inward may feel more natural and effortless.
Spiritual guide HH Guruji Sundar of Aathman Awareness Centre shares a guided meditation to help you connect with the energy of the June 2026 Super New Moon.
The lunar cycle has traditionally been linked to subtle influences on the mind and inner energies. According to yogic understanding, on most days you need to make a conscious effort to raise your awareness and guide Kundalini Shakti, the dormant life force energy, from the lower centres of the body toward higher states of consciousness.
However, the New Moon is believed to make this process easier. The movement of awareness from the lower chakras toward the Ajna Chakra, also known as the Third Eye Centre, and higher energy centres may feel smoother and more natural.
Because of this, New Moon meditation is often considered beneficial for:
The New Moon is not about forcing an experience. It is about becoming available to stillness and allowing yourself to be.
Before you begin, create an environment that encourages calmness and inward focus.
Breathe in slowly, release any tension in your shoulders, and let your body feel relaxed. There is nowhere you need to go and nothing you need to achieve. Simply become open and receptive. Let go of expectations and judgments.
Now bring your awareness to the Ajna Chakra (Third Eye Chakra), located between your eyebrows. Do not try to concentrate. Meditation is not concentration. It is complete relaxation and gentle awareness. Simply observe. If thoughts arise, let them come. If emotions surface, allow them to be there. There is no need to fight them, suppress them, or follow them. Become a silent witness to whatever appears in your awareness.
If your attention drifts, gently bring it back to the Ajna Chakra. Remain in this state for 15 to 30 minutes. If you are new to meditation, even five minutes of daily practice is enough. If your posture becomes uncomfortable, adjust it slowly and mindfully without disturbing your inner calm.
When you feel that the meditation is complete, resist the urge to open your eyes immediately. Remain still for a few moments and observe the silence around and within you. Allow a feeling of gratitude to arise naturally.
When you are ready, slowly open your eyes while maintaining your awareness. Carry the stillness, clarity, and peace of the meditation with you throughout the rest of your day.
