The connection between the moon and us

"The moon makes?

the nectar of immortality?

there flow directly into Ida."

The moon makes the nectar of immortality?

, flows directly into the left vein.

-Shiva Samhita Chapter 136

If Surya is the sun, it is the power of the yang and plays a role in destroying Samskaras (Sanskrit, meaning obstacles) The role, then, of the Chandra Moon is repair, reconstruction, and integration after obstacles have been cleared.

"The moon and sun,?

which bring about creation and destruction,?

are revolving."

The moon and the sun Always in motion,

One brings creation, the other brings destruction.

-Shiva Samhita Chapter 3

The growth and evolution of our lives are carried out in the process of destroying the old and rebuilding the new.

The moon is considered to be the opposite side of the sun. Affected by the gravity of the stars, the moon affects the ebb and flow of water, the life fluid of the earth. During the new moon and full moon, as the moon and the earth move into a nearly straight line, the gravitational pull of the sun gives the moon the most powerful influence.

Because most of the human body is liquid, the liquid in our body, the emotions in our hearts, and the energy of our body will all be affected by it. In the history of human civilization in the East and West, the moon has been recorded as being closely related to feminine power, intuition, inner world, women, emotions, family, matrilineal lineage, and habits. When the Full Moon occurs, it enters a deep healing mode for all people. Just like the ocean, the waves wash away the impurities in the sea water again and again. The full moon is the medicine the universe gives us to heal our bodies and minds.

Ancient astrology believes that the moon can connect the emotional level of human beings, reflect our feelings about ourselves, the people around us, and the surrounding environment, and reflect the inner world, thinking patterns, and emotions hidden in our unconsciousness. . Through the moon, the ancients learned how to make good use of their intuition and how to reflect on themselves. When the moon is full and waning, the moon's influence on all aspects of our bodies is most powerful.

Connecting with the energy of the moon during the full moon not only restores our latent inner senses, but also balances our emotions and feminine energy. With the keen power brought by the moon, we can lead us to a deep awareness of ourselves, stimulate creativity, and gain abundant and joyful vitality.

Like the earth, about 70% of our human body is composed of water. As the moon waxes and wanes, the water in the human body (including glands and hormone levels) will rise and fall like the tide.

Changes in glandular hormone levels can affect the sensitivity of muscles and nerves, thereby affecting our mood and daily life. ?

During the full moon, the sea tide reaches its peak, and our gland secretions also reach their peak. Our emotions may be several times more sensitive than usual, but at the same time, it also provides us with the opportunity to deal with emotional issues.

The full moon and new moon of every month are a time for cleansing, letting go and transformation. If you practice meditation or meditation during the full moon and new moon, the effect of the practice will be several times that of ordinary days. Not only can you receive the baptism and transformation of spiritual energy, expand the magnetic field, and enhance your vitality, but you can also use this special node to improve your health. Be aware and witness your different self.

Many of us may experience distress caused by regression from the past. But the positive side is that you will also reap the good consequences of your past good deeds.

The Moon in Ancient Times

my country's "Huangdi Neijing" calls women's menstruation as menstruation, "once thirty days". Li Shizhen also clearly discussed in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that women's "blood should correspond to the taiyin (moon) above and the tide below."

"The moon has its profit and loss, the tide has its day and night, and the menstrual events are related to each month. Therefore, it is called menstruation, menstruation, and menstruation. Modern medical research has proven that the normal menstrual cycle is about twenty-eight days. This is very close to the moon's waxing and waning cycle. German gynecological experts investigated the menstrual cycles of tens of thousands of women and found that when women menstruate on the night of a full moon, the amount of bleeding may double. When women have menstruation on a waning moon, the amount of bleeding is relatively small.

This is not surprising. The ancients discovered the energy secret between the moon and the human body two thousand years ago. "Biaoyou Fu" says: "If the hope is not supplemented, the darkness will not be reduced; if the string is not snatched, the new moon will not be restored." This means that humans are connected with the heaven and earth, and correspond to the sun and the moon. When the moon is at its roundest, the blood is full and the muscles are tight, so it is not suitable to take supplements; when the moon is at its darkest and lack of light, the body is weak, the meridians are empty, and there is not much energy, so it is not suitable to have diarrhea.

The Moon of a Foreign Country

Westerners also know the mysterious changes that the moon brings to the human body, which we can get a glimpse of from the word "honeymoon". The term "honeymoon" comes from Westerners' customs or legends.

In ancient Europe, newlyweds of the Teutonic people, a Germanic nation, drank a drink made from fermented honey every day after their marriage, from the waning moon to the full moon, and then back to the waning moon again, in order to increase the body's energy and promote a harmonious life. When newlyweds drink honey, they have to go through the process of a month without a full moon. In fact, it is hoped that they will use the energy of honey plus the rhythmic energy of the moon to reproduce offspring and make the tribe prosperous.

The relationship between the moon and weight loss

If you want to lose weight, you can implement partial fasting during the new moon and full moon to reduce the energy interference of food on the body, because digesting food can also cause energy loss. consumption.

Our menstrual cycle is 28 days, and the moon’s cycle is 29 days. Therefore, our high tide and low tide periods are almost in sync with the moon, and our physiological changes are also in line with it. It is very important for us to know this, because relying on the moon to lose weight can save a lot of effort.

The period between the new moon and the full moon is the easiest time for our body to absorb energy. It can supplement nutrients other than high-calorie foods such as sugar and fat. It is especially suitable for eating fruits rich in trace elements. , vegetables and whole grains. If you don't pay attention to the reasonable intake of energy at this time, you can easily become a fat man. If you try to lose weight at this time, it will be in vain, because the body's desire to absorb energy is so strong that it will gain weight no matter what it eats. Once the calories come in, they will be stored quickly without leaving any room.

When the moon is full, people's bodies and minds react strongly to the energy of the moon. Some people will be nervous and irritable. Such emotions can easily have a negative impact on the digestive system. At this time, you should be calm and don't eat or drink too much. Just add some juice and food that promotes metabolism. The effect of dieting on this day is the most prominent.

The period after the full moon should be a good time to lose weight. At this time, we can increase the amount of exercise and eat more detoxifying and water-digesting vegetables and fruits, such as potatoes, winter melon, barley, red beans, lemons, etc. People who don’t want to lose weight or gain weight can indulge and try ice cream. Because if you eat ice cream at this time, it will not be converted into fat and will be metabolized quickly.

Smart dieters can use the energy of the moon to lose weight and enjoy delicious food at the same time.

The relationship between crops, food and the moon

Not only people are affected by the moon, but also the plants on the earth cannot escape.

For example, the nutrition and taste of crops and red wine will be affected by the waxing and waning of the moon.

The term "biodynamics" has become fashionable recently. Western agriculturists have discovered that the best dates for harvesting, cultivating and sowing crops depend on the movement of the moon - when the moon is ascending During the moon phase, the vitality of the crops also increases; when the moon is in the descending phase, the essence of the crops gathers at the roots.

This determines that farmers harvest stem and leaf crops when the moon is almost full, and harvest tuber crops when the moon is thin. Crops harvested in this way often have higher nutritional value and energy. Therefore, they are not only certified by specialized agencies, but their status and price are far higher than that of the aristocrat of food - organic food.

Red wine is even more interesting. Biodynamic authorities list the exact dates of "fruiting", "flowering", "leaf growth" and "soil cultivation" for crops. These will have an impact on the cultivation, harvesting and consumption of crops. Influence. Therefore, in Tesco and Marks and Spencer supermarkets, they have to wait until the "result" day, the best day for wine tasting, to launch a wine tasting day, while the "soil" day is the worst day for wine tasting. Biodynamic authorities believe that with Changes in atmospheric pressure due to changes in the moon's cycle will also affect the taste of food.

From this point of view, there are still many secrets that can be explored in the energy given to us by the moon. With the power of the moonlight, human beings can not only spend time before and after the moon, full of passion, but also make life more delicious and exciting. !
