Full Moon and You

Stress is one of the most used words nowadays. As much as maintaining good physical health is essential to us, mental health plays a vital role too. There can be just so many triggers that can cause stress, and most of us think it’s okay to live with it, till it hits us hard. Often, we overlook the easiest way to manage our stress and mental health-related issues by a simple method called GROUNDING.

I still remember, during the annual eye check-up in school, the “missy” (nurse) will ask those with vision problem to look at the greens (plants and grass) often. And also, the temple priest in my hometown, use to tell me that walk barefooted on grass or soil ground, every unwanted issue will be channelled out from your body to “boomadewi” (mother earth).

I used to be like, what is this priest talking about, how is that possible and all. But as | get more involved with nature’s five elements, that makes a lot of sense to me now! You would have gotten electrostatic charges when you touch any metal surface, like mild electrocution, especially from your vehicle at the fuel pump. Have you ever wondered why this happens?

Can The Moon Affect The Human Body, Mind And Spirit?

I am sure most of you would have learnt that the gravity from the Moon influences the tide of the ocean. If moon energy is so powerful to pull and push 70% of the earth content- water, up to 60% of the human adult body is water. According to H.H. Mitchell, Journal of Biological Chemistry 158, the brain and heart are composed of 73% water, and the lungs are about 83% water. The skin contains 64% water, muscles and kidneys are 79%, and even the bones are watery: 31%. What makes you think you are an exception? 

Swadisthana (sacral) chakra (water element) in the human body which is located two inches below your navel is responsible for your sexual organs well-being, and it also enhances the creativity flow if the chakra is well balanced. On the physical level, when that chakra is not balanced, the significant issues one may face are menstrual cramps & irregularities, UTI (bladder & kidney-related) and prostate disease, hernia, other sexual organ-related complications or even chronic lower back pain.  

Mentally, blocked sacral chakra energy can be associated with addiction, repressed emotions due to past traumas and lack of creative energy. 

The Moon affects water, and water element chakra is related to moon energy, so don’t you think “making a friend” with Moon will somehow rather benefit your sacral chakra to function at its optimum level?

How To “Befriend” The Moon?

I am going to share some methods that I have been sharing with my clients who came to me for chakra balancing and aura cleansing today for free!

Full Moon Meditation

• Have your bath or shower, if can, mix some rock salt in the water and pour on your head and let it flow through the whole body during the final splash. 
• Wipe up, dress on a clean cloth. Find where you can see the Moon, it is ok if you can’t, just identify the direction of the Moon and sit facing it.
• For 1st timer or beginner, you may open your eyes and gaze at the Moon as you may find it hard to concentrate with your eyes closed.
• You may play some full moon meditation music that you like. There are so many of such in youtube. 
• Just start to visualise the gentle moonlight is shining upon you. You are feeling the positive energy and vibration from your top to toe.
• Some may have trouble to sit in the lotus position, that is ok, just sit anywhere comfortably with a mat or clean padding placed.

Full Moon Manifestation

• Grab a piece of paper and pen
• Write down what you want to achieve or let go in your life.
• Face the Moon, say it like already happen, i.e. “I am happy, healthy and peaceful” instead of “I want to be happy, I want to be healthy, and I want peace”.
• You may say it as many times as you want, once complete, you may dispose of that piece of paper by burning it or throwing it away.

Moon Water

• Choose the clean container that is reflective of your intention, i.e. mason jar, glassware, copper container or metal pots or pails, depends how much of moon water you want. 
• If you have crystals, you may surround the container with your crystals, if you do not have one, that is ok.
• Since you need to leave the water under the moonlight overnight, it is advisable to cap or make a lid (translucent paper) to avoid any insects to swim in it. 
• Place the container under the moonlight, and leave it overnight. Collect it the next day morning, and you may transfer them into smaller bottles like a spray bottle to use it as how you wish. 
• You may collect the moon water on the eve of full Moon (to cleanse the crystals next day) or on the full moon night.

Full Moon Rudraksha & Crystal Cleansing And Energising

• Wash the crystals with rock salt diluted in clean water. 
• Wash it with the moon water now.
• If you have smudging material like white sage leaves or palo santo, u can use it to smudge/smoke them. If not, you can use sambraani (benzoin) also.
• If you are using the crystals for intentions or manifestation. Hold it on your palms and imagine you are receiving the energy/vibes from the Moon. Imagine the vibes are coming to the crystal on your palms, filling up the whole body from head to toe. 
• Now manifest with positive affirmations. Say your positive affirmations like u already achieve it. 
• Do not mix the crystals together when u do this as they carry different vibes, so best is to do the manifestation separately, I.e. each time hold only 1 crystal or the same type of crystals together. 
• Once you have done it, say thanks to the Moon and the universe for blessing you with abundant energies.
• Alternative, the below items can be used for this ritual if you have them:
  • Tibetan Singing bowl
  • Candles
