Full Moon

There are many cycles we experience our lives, the cycle of the moon is one of them. And it is one that has a particular effect on nature and on all that is fluid in the earth ~ and in ourselves.

This makes that the high tide is just a little higher with a full moon. In ourselves it means that, whether or not we feel truly close to nature, that primal power within us gets activated. We may feel more alert, more awake, especially at night. We may receive more visions or insights as we are more connected to our subconscious when the moon is full. We may also feel more emotional, as our emotions are connected to the fluidity in our nature…

Let’s be clear, none of this is bad!
We are, after all, part of nature. And the idiosyncrasies we may experience with the full moon are not there to hurt us, or harm us in any way. They are there to help us.

Sometimes it is a good thing to have a big emotional outburst. To let it all out, to scream about it, to cry about it, and to let it go, so that it no longer is a burden in our lives. An emotional outburst like that ~ a lot different than a fight with a spouse or a partner ~ can make space for new things to start happening in our lives.

And the unexpected visions or insights can help us see a different aspect of a situation, give us a different perspective on how to proceed. And even if we don’t know where the insight came from, or how we became aware of the vision, more often than not we will find that if we act on it, chances are the benefits are considerable…

All it takes is for us to take a little time to see what is really going on in our lives that sparked our ~ sometimes unusual, or atypical ~ reaction to something. Especially when this occurs with the full moon.
And this perhaps is the reason we may not sleep as well, or as deep, with the full moon. Perhaps we are busy processing and observing our lives from an entirely different level of consciousness, without being interfered by any ‘logical’ input.

Therefore, the full moon is much more than a witch’s tale. It is far better than the annoyance of not getting a full night sleep.
When we learn how to work with the energy of the moon, the full moon can strengthen our connection to our core being, to our innermost self. It can be the impetus to create a new (emotional) space in ourselves. And last but not least, it can show us the unexpectedly productive perspectives that, while far from logical, can be tremendously beneficial to us!
