Medicine Buddha Healing practice

Medicine Buddha Healing

Full Moon & Lunar Eclipse

This Medicine Buddha Healing session will take place during a conjunction of a full moon and a lunar eclipse, a timing that Tibetan Buddhist traditions regard as a period of heightened conditions for practice, when approached with care and intention.

In Tibetan Buddhism, full moons and eclipses are not considered magical or predictive. They are understood as times when experiences are intensified and our intention has greater effect.

What matters most is not the event itself, but the quality of mind brought to practice.

Full moon days have long been associated with reflection, compassion, and mental clarity. They are traditionally regarded as supportive for meditation and healing practices.

The eclipse introduces a different energy. Tibetan teachings describe eclipse periods as times when mental states and karmic patterns can become more pronounced. Because of this, emphasis is placed on restraint, simplicity, and gentle awareness, rather than effort or intensity.

Medicine Buddha (Sangye Menla) represents healing through wisdom and compassion. Emphasising steadiness over striving, the practice supports calm regulation of body and mind, and encourages healing without pressure or expectation

It is well suited to times of intensity, offering a grounded way to offer compassion and healing to all beings.

The session will include:

• Gentle settling of the body and breath
• Guided Medicine Buddha practice
• Healing intention for oneself and others
• Space to meet whatever arises with awareness, and kindness

During full moon eclipse periods, traditional guidance is simple:

• Do less, with more care
• Let kindness be the guide
• Rest in awareness when unsure

May this practice support balance, clarity, and healing,
for oneself and for all beings.
