Full Moon

With the second full moon approaching this January. I thought, what better time. The Wolf Moon was on the night between 1 and 2 January 2018 and was a Supermoon. The following Full Moon is also in January, on the 31. It has no given name, which makes it a Blue Moon. However, this particular Blue Moon will likely look red in some areas, because it will cause a total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon.

There have been many scientific reports for and against the effect of the moon on human behavior. The reports analysed heightened mind activity, increased visits to general or psychiatric emergency departments, and people complaining of higher levels of physical and mental distress. The full moon is a time of positive opportunity if you use it correctly. It can increase your positive energy or conversely, it can wreak havoc on your emotions.

Since the full moon pours down a tremendous amount of energy, you must be in a calm state of mind to receive a positive effect. Remember that whatever is going on in your body, mind and spirit will be amplified. If you are angry, you will feel angrier or if you are happy, you will feel happier. During the full moon, the ocean swells and emergency rooms have more patients. The energy is very powerful so it’s important to direct it with positive intention. Crazy energy as well as loving energy will be intensified. Knowing this is a huge opportunity for your emotional and spiritual growth.

Tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the Earth and the Moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon. Our bodies are made predominately of water. So if the moon can control the oceans and many bodies of water with its magnetic pull, imagine how it may affect us...

My boyfriend and I like to sit down together on a Full or New moon and write down all our affirmations. Anything we want out of ourselves or life we write it down. In other words, we manifest and create our desires in this life. Rituals are a beautiful way to connect to your inner being throughout life. They can be powerfully symbolic and open the floodgates to a deeper connection to the Universe within. The key essence of trying any ritual is to show up with an open heart, an open mind and a willingness to be open to all possibilities.

The full moon and the week leading up the full moon can bring some crazy energy with it. However, it’s a magical time to spark intentions that you are holding in your heart and take them to a new vibration in order for them to finally manifest. It’s a wonderful time to activate the Law of Attraction. The simple truth is that if you don’t know how to ask the Universe for what you want to create in life, then you will miss out on your own sweet superpowers.
