The Full Moon: A Celestial Sight

07/12/2024|Sage Advice Apothecary|

The breathtaking view of the full moon makes its appearance when the earth, the sun, and the moon align. The lunar surface is bathed in sunlight, creating a spectacular vision in the night sky.

While the moon’s gravitational pull does affect the tides of the oceans, it’s no wonder some say the full moon influences human behavior. With the human body being composed of about 55-78% water, why couldn’t the moon affect us as well? This subtle force is believed to cause increased aggravation, sleep disturbances, or mood swings. Here at Sage Advice, we recommend using the full moon to reconnect with yourself and nature.

Full Moon Rituals: Nurturing the Soul

Ground Yourself by Connecting with Nature:

  • Step outdoors, bask in the moonlight, and allow yourself to sync with the earth’s energy.
  • Walk barefoot in the dirt, grass, or sand
  • Press your hands into the ground
  • Submerge in natural water (ponds, lakes, or oceans)
  • Allow nature’s healing effect to rejuvenate the soul

Breathe Deep into Meditation:

  • The full moon’s pull can trigger strong emotions. Pause and reflect on your physical and mental state. Tune into your feelings, relationships, and career.
  • Practice deep breathing to help work through these feelings by placing your hands on your heart and belly then inhaling and exhaling mindfully.
  • Celebrate your wins and release anything you are holding on to.

Moon Water and More

Moon water can be used for cleansing, drinking and more. Place a container of water under the full moon overnight. This lunar infused liquid can be added to simmer pots, bath water, your plants, or a cup of your favorite tea. Who doesn’t love an extra splash of magic?

One of my favorite rituals is relaxing in a warm bath and allowing the moon’s energy to wash away stress and negativity. Using our amazing full moon bath salts with relaxing lavender and a splash of moon water, it’s the perfect way to wind down and meditate.

The full moon invites us to dance with the cosmos, release what no longer serves us, and embrace our inner magic!
