Did you know...

Everything is connected?

Seriously... everything!

Specifically, I was amazed to learn all the different ways we are affected by the Sun and Moon cycles.

• I never thought much of it before until I began teaching my son science, and specifically weather. It struck me then the influence of the cycles on the elements, like high tide vs. low tide.

• In teaching about geology and crystals, I learned the affect the moon had on the earth; soil, water, and could even charge the energetic elements of crystals!

• In studying up on natural fertility and reproductive health, I learned yet again, specifically on the moon, how the cycles affect our actual cycles and reproduction!

• THEN, in studying herbology, I was stunned to read in my text books and in my history class, how all throughout time, people utilized the healing properties of plants by creating and using herbal remedies/plant healing based around the moon cycles.

Without going too in depth in it, the summation of it all is that there is more to the moon cycles than just looking really cool.

There is scientific evidence of the purpose to it all, that it was all created for a purpose, and lends even more evidence to the awe and wonder of our Creator.

Of course, our emotions and moods are also directly affected by the moon cycles.

Tonight happens to be the last Full Moon of the year.

I don't know about you, but leading up to this, my energy has been a bit erratic with wanting to clean and re-organize like everything! Creativity has exploded, almost a chaotic energy to get things done. It's felt a bit frantic, but understanding this enabled me to utilize it with intention.

Tonight I will take the time out to release the past month, deal with anything I have been avoiding or that needs to be processed and let go of, tidy up my space, clear out old things, organize, and prepare for the newness that leads into the New Moon energy.

It's legit. If you notice your emotions feeling off about once a month and have always chalked it up to PMS, take another look and see how it syncs up with the Moon cycles. I was truly stunned when I saw all the correlations.

If you already utilize the moon cycles for intentional healing, I'd truly love to hear about what you do and how you utilize it so we can all learn from each other.

HOW TO UTILIZE: The full moon is an ideal time for letting go of anything that no longer serves you in the best way possible or anything that is hindering you from moving forward; things you want or need to let go of, release, or end.

It is a time for guidance and healing, to be fresh, ready, and open for the new things ahead, to be able to go into it with a clear and balanced focus and fresh energy.
