This full moon cycle also has an added lunar eclipse. What has this month's cycle added to your awareness? What have you noticed that you would like to let go of?
During the influence of a full moon, it is a well known fact that hospitals find many more incidences of accidents. There are also stories of mental health wards in hospitals observing a greater mental disturbance in their patients during the influence of the full moon. When I was growing up, both my parents worked in a hospital, and during a full moon, there were times that mental health ward patients were found leaving the hospital and wandering the local neighborhood in their gowns. What is this about?
Most of us know that the moon influences the tides of the waters on the Earth. What are we mostly made up of? Correct...water.... What is all around us at all times? Influences of various energies inside and around all things ... this we are affected by in many ways. Waking up more fully, being present to what is in all moments, and gaining the knowledge necessary to do something ... this will assist us in being out of the path of some of these influences... or to use these influences in a positive way.
During the influence of a full moon, it is beneficial to apply an even greater awareness about you as you go about your daily activities. This does not mean we are to be less aware any other day!! Given the greater amount of unconsciousness observed in many during a full moon cycle... leading to accidents and emotional disturbances, bringing a greater awareness to your life around a full moon is another way to enhance your Work. Notice the changing flows of the energies in and all around you - whether it's the people you are in contact with or something going on around the ones you know.
Older cultures used the changes all around them.... in the moon, the seasons, subtle observations in nature and the heavenly skies.... to their benefit. Whether gardening, picking plants at an optimal time, healing, starting new projects or releasing old patterns, timing was a key. They demonstrated a greater understanding of universal laws and changing energies and how these things impact us in our daily lives. We are fortunate that much of this knowledge still exists today so that we can learn it, apply it and pass it on.
