For our most recent Full Moon Circle at Gaze Yoga, I wanted to offer another song.

(If you missed the one, I did for the Full Moon in Cancer, check it out here.)

This Full Moon was in Leo, so I asked myself, "What's the most Leo song I could share?"

The first song that came to mind was "This Little Light of Mine."

Leo is all about what makes us shine. It's also very outgoing and friendly, so I wanted to share a song that other could sing along with me — something familiar and easy to sing. "This Little Light" seemed to be the most perfect song.

I knew it was a traditional song and probably had various verses that changed with different versions of the song. But something in me said to create my own verse to add.

When I was in the final pose of shavasana one night, I had these lyrics come to me:

I am the light, I am the truth, I am the Power.
I climbed up the hill and the tower.
I looked into the eyes of the beast that will devour
the words that are bitter, the feelings turned sour.
In this moment, the love is all mine.
I let go of what I had and I know that I'll be fine.
After all there will come a time,
when this little light is gonna shine.

I've been going through a major life transition recently and these words have become a prayer for me.

Here's a video I recorded before our full moon circle of the song. Please listen and sing along. I hope they can become a prayer for you too.
