The Healing Grids start at the “new moon” each month. We began doing this in August of 2014.
For several years we kept experimenting with how to schedule the Healing Grids. As we explored new ways to move the positive energy forward and optimize authentic White Light Frequencies, we kept track of the feedback. After careful consideration and discussion, we developed a wonderful formula for maximum results using a little science, a little history and a lot of faith. Through prayer, meditation and divine Angelic assistance we were inspired to study ancient traditions and the sacred practices of our ancestors.
Our research led us down some interesting historical paths regarding the importance of using the moon for ritual and prayer in all major religions. However, as you might be aware the White Light Express does not embrace any particular theological foundation or religion so we had to remain objective in our studies. It’s widely known that Native Americans, Egyptians, Druids and Earth Keepers use Mother Moon in worship, but there seems to be a bit of a secret involving the Christian, Jewish and Muslim faiths regarding this element. When we say “secret” we mean that there is an element of fear, and a condemning attitude with a finger pointed at “occult” beliefs.
When we found “What Is a Biblical New Moon?” we were delighted!
We find many references to the new moon or beginning of months in the Scriptures, including the obligation for True worshipers to observe them, Numbers 10:10; 28:11-15; 1Chronicles 23:31; 2Chronicles 2:4; 8:13; 31:3; Ezra 3:5; Ezekiel 46:1, 3, 6; Colossians 2:16.
Apostolic Believers, who remained true to His Word, continued to honor new moon days as well as observe Feast days in the New Testament, Acts 18:21; 27:9; 1Corinthians 5:7-8.
The second reference to months and their timing is Psalm 104:19: “He appointed the moon for seasons.” The third reference is also in Psalm 81:3: “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Here the only feast that begins on the first day of a month (Ethanim) is mentioned – Trumpets. Other “chodesh” verses abound in the Bible (over 200 of them), all meaning “new moon.”
Further, we learn from Ezekiel’s prophecy (46:3) that new moon days will be kept in the coming Kingdom: “The people of the land shall also worship at the doorway of that gate before Yahweh on the sabbaths and on the new moons.”
Make no mistake. The Biblical admonition to observe the new moon as a special marker in the Biblical calendar is not a pronouncement about worshiping the moon itself … At the same time He commands us to watch for and observe the new moon each month so that we honor and follow His unique calendar and the setting of His special holy days.
Looking for the new moon crescent each month is, above all, an act of worship.
For those who are uncomfortable with pagan traditions or have fear of succumbing to possible acts of occult magic we can agree our ancestors understood the importance of Moon Phases for much more than worship. Seasons were measured and lives were in the balance, all at the mercy of Mother Moon.
There is an excellent article at “About.com” regarding New Moon Rituals, here’s our favorite excerpt:
This depends on your personal tastes, the pace of your life and the time you have to devote to it. Some simply light a candle, while others gather objects and pictures for their altar. Lately, I’ve been writing my intentions on a 7-day candle and leaving it in a prominent (and safe) place. With a candle, you can return to it and relight it while meditating on your intentions.
Ritual helps focus your entire being on the quest at hand. In the days leading up to the new Moon, you might gather pictures and totems that symbolize your goal.
Please obtain a calendar view of all the full moon phases HERE, and we invite you to join us each month on the New Moon to manifest healing, transformation for good, positive vibrations and more. For your convenience, we’ve added a current moon calendar below.
Thank you for your time and for lending your light whenever you are able. May Creator God, the Divine Source bless you always.
