Full Moons - why do you feel so emotional during them?
I spent my day feeling “possessed.” One minute I wanted to take a nap on the desk, the other minute I ran to the bathroom with tears in my eyes, the next minute I was ready to pack my suitcase and become an Ex-pat and move to Costa Rica. Throughout my various episodes of “insanity” today I remembered to chill because it was a full moon tonight.
Full moon energy can manifest in different ways—you may feel creative, anxious, sensitive, or exhausted.
I have noticed that during full moons I really look inwards and ask myself the hard questions.
If you feel especially off the wall and like your emotions are on def con level 5 million just know you are not alone. The energy of the full moon stirs up your emotions, which can cause anxiety.
What many don't realize is their body's energy is at its highest during a full moon. This rise in energy can also heighten your emotional symptoms. For example, if you are a naturally anxious person, you may feel more anxious during a full moon.
Each full moon I have a ritual of writing down my intentions or wishes on flying wish paper and go outside to burn them under the moonlight. I also write in my journal what I am manifesting.
A lot of people also charge their crystals under the full moonlight. The full moon is a powerful time for cleansing and charging your stones. I just set mine outside on the patio railing and let them soak up the fab full moon energy.
Whatever your full moon tradition is, I highly recommend taking this time to reflect inwards. Ask yourself if your needs are being met? What do you want to happen in your life? Be specific. Use the energy to truly tap into your desires and wish upon a full moon!
XOXO,
Lorraine
