SYNC YOUR ENERGY With Each Moon Cycle

Sync Your Energy With Each Moon Cycle
@i.luv.yoga

If you feel like your energy is a moving target and you can’t seem to predict when inspiration will strike, when you should hibernate, or your overall mood, you might feel a little out of control. Womens’ energy and emotions are often cyclical, and we have so much potential to sync with nature and the cosmos to gain better understanding of this energy and how to channel it, and when. It all starts with ritual.

Restore and Reflect with the New Moon

With the new moon high in the dark sky, the cosmic energy is low. We might feel shy, sleepy, bound to home and loved ones, and have an urge to nest. Without this awareness and recognition, it’s easy to misunderstand these feelings as sluggish or depressive, bringing bouts of frenzied angst that clashes with the lunar energy, setting your whole month off course.

Instead of being caught off guard by this energetic downshift, we can plan for it. Don’t schedule big meetings, creative deadlines, or social engagements at the top of the new moon. Instead, plan for some healing self care. Hone in on your meditation practice, take a salty bath, cook dinner for yourself or your loved ones, make sure to journal. Don’t forget some gentle movement, and pick up the pace if it feels right. This is a great time for reflection and setting the stage for the upswing of energy to come.

Full Force with the Full Moon

During the full moon, energy is at an all time high. With the energy peak all over the world comes action, the fruits of our new moon inspiration, and a surge of new motivation. Sometimes this energy can feel aggressive or chaotic, so it’s smart to be organized with your time and make plans. Release yourself from self-doubts and take risks, be expressive.

"Embrace the ritual and get connected."

When we tap into this energetic exchange with the moon, we form a rhythm. We can start to rely on this rhythm and predict moods and shifts, and the element of surprise and confusion begins to wane. It helps us know when to align our schedules and eliminates doubt and fear that can arise from decision-making.

It’s not a cure-all, and it’s ok to still get tired, find yourself in a funk, or feel like you can’t keep up. But planning for energetic shifts in your life to align with the cosmic energy of the moon is a beautiful cycle, and gives our own shifts and rhythms shape and reason. Embrace the ritual and get connected.
