Have you ever noticed feeling more emotional, energized or restless around the full moon or new moon. Just as the moon pulls the ocean tides, it can stir the subtle waters within us -our emotions, thoughts and energy. In many traditions, the moon is seen as a mirror of our inner world. When we align with this rhythm something beautiful happens we begin to move with life not against it.
The Moon & Our Emotions
At certain phases , be it full moon or new. Our energy might feel intense, our thoughts become little louder and our emotions rawer. This phase of the moon can amplify everything. This isn’t negative, it’s an opportunity to witness, observe and understand what’s within us. It’s a time for reflection, intention-setting and rest. In both phases the moon invites us to notice ourselves more deeply. Just as the tides rise and fall with the moon, so do we. We are nature are too
How Yoga, Breathwork & Meditation Help
When the moon stirs our inner tides, grounding practices like yoga, breathwork, and meditation become powerful tools. They don’t just calm us, they help us align with the energy, rather than resist it.
- Yoga bring the body into balance by slower, grounding and restorative poses which invites stillness.
- Breathwork settles the nervous system. Simple practices like alternate nostril breathing or soft belly breaths can ease emotional waves.
- Meditation offers space to observe without reacting and helps to balance our emotions and experience the stillness.
These practices are not about control, but a connection to our true nature .
Simple Moon Rituals to Try
Create a sacred space at home—a cozy corner with a cushion, lamp /candle, and meaningful items like crystals or idols.The key is to make it a place where you feel safe, calm, and connected.
Write down what you’re ready to release— thoughts, habits, emotions. Burn or bury the list as a symbol of letting go. Set intentions. Light a candle/lamp, sit in stillness, and visualize what you wish to welcome into your life.
Let these moments be soft, sacred, and simple.
