Dhrib Dhristi Lochina Karma Kriya. An Eve of the Fulll Moon Meditation

Dhrib Dhristi Lochina Karma Kriya

A Meditation for Insight, Clarity and Inner Vision

"Dhrib Dhristi Lochina Karma Kriya" is a meditation from the Kundalini Yoga tradition whose name has been translated as "the action of acquiring insight into the future." While this may sound mysterious, at its heart the practice is a simple and powerful method for centering the mind, quieting distractions, and cultivating deep inner awareness.

Traditionally, this meditation was first taught on the eve of a Full Moon.

The teachings suggest that during this time the subconscious mind is especially receptive, making it easier to access intuition, clarity, and insight. As one of the original notes on the practice states:

"When practiced on the eve of the full moon, the kriya is said to influence the subconscious mind most completely. While most meditations require long periods of practice for mastery, it is possible to master this kriya in one or several sittings. Concentrate with total devotion."

The Practice

Sit comfortably with a straight spine, allowing the hips, shoulders, and head to align naturally.

Lightly bring the front teeth together.

Focus the eyes at the tip of the nose Or gaze at a candle.

Allow the tongue to rest against the upper palate.

From the Third Eye point, silently project the mantra:

Sa Ta Na Ma

Coordinate the mantra with the breath, repeating it silently on the inhale and exhale.

Continue for 31 minutes, or for a shorter period if needed.

What Does the Mantra Mean?

Sa Ta Na Ma is one of the most widely practised mantras in Kundalini Yoga and represents the cycle of existence:

Sa – Birth

Ta – Life

Na – Death

Ma – Rebirth or Transformation

As the mantra flows with the breath, it reminds us of the constant cycles of change occurring within us and around us.

The Full Moon Connection

Across many cultures, the Full Moon has long been associated with illumination, revelation, and heightened awareness. Whether viewed spiritually or psychologically, the Full Moon can act as a symbol of bringing what is hidden into the light.

Practising this meditation on the eve of the Full Moon can be a beautiful ritual. It offers an opportunity to pause, withdraw from external noise, and listen more deeply to the wisdom that already exists within.

A Modern Perspective

The traditional teachings say that with dedicated practice this meditation awakens intuition, strengthens one's healing presence, develops the power of truthful speech (Vak Siddhi), and enhances the ability to perceive the consequences of actions before they unfold. It is considered a meditation that refines perception beyond the ordinary senses, opening the practitioner to deeper insight, subtle awareness, and expanded psychic capacities. For this reason, it has long been regarded as one of the more powerful meditations for cultivating inner vision and spiritual mastery.

Many practitioners report experiencing:

Greater mental stillness

Improved concentration

Increased intuition and self-awareness

A stronger sense of inner alignment

Reduced reactivity and emotional noise

Rather than attempting to predict the future, this meditation may help us become quiet enough to recognise the patterns already unfolding in our lives.

An Invitation

On the eve of the Full Moon, set aside some time to sit in stillness.

Let the mantra guide you inward. Release the need to figure everything out and instead allow yourself to listen.

The future is not always something that needs to be seen.

Sometimes it is something that reveals itself when the mind becomes still enough to receive it.
