I know it’s been awhile since I last posted, I do apologize to the lovely souls who follow my blog. I’ve been so caught up in moving to a different state and changing the course of my life that even when I did get time to write down my thoughts I really didn’t know where to start. Well, here it is, what inspired me to write this post are the events that occurred due to the full moon.
I didn’t realize there was a full moon on Tuesday till I noticed my emotions being on a high the night before. Also, I had a weird feeling like something was going to go wrong on Tuesday which lead to things I didn’t expect to happen later on that evening.
As many of you know (or don’t know) an Empath, also know as a “highly sensitive person” (HSP), may end up a wreck during the full moon as it depicts the climax of a lunar month, hence bringing our emotions to the surface. The worst part is that the rush of emotion is due to negative energy that causes heighted distress. These feelings might NOT be yours though. Empaths can be highly sensitive to the environment and energy, which is why they can sense others energy and absorb it too. They can easily sense how another person is feeling just by being in proximity or seeing the person as if the feeling is in their OWN body.
On Monday, I was feeling rather “heavy” for some reason I could not piece together. Later on that night, as I lay with my partner in bed I suddenly feel a flood of emotion and the urge to just let go. I started crying uncontrollably, funny enough I didn’t know why. Being the caring soul that he is, my boyfriend held me close and told me to let it out. There I was crying like a crazy person, with tears I couldn’t hold back and a blocked nose I couldn’t breathe out of while he rubbed my back and kissed my forehead. In the midst of all this, I was pondering if it was just my monthly cycle, till I saw the full moon.
I find this quite intriguing, as women, our bodies are tuned into the moon through our cycles.
Here’s an excerpt from an article I read:
“When women lived together in tribes, not only did they bleed in unison but also bled during the New Moon. Have you ever noticed that you will sync blood cycles with your housemates or women from work? It is said by the wise women of our ancient ancestors that the shedding of our blood during this time allows us to step into a veil or a different state of consciousness.
Women during the red cycle become hypersensitive to those around them and more expressive of the emotions that come forth to cleanse. What society has deemed a sex specific annoyance or an illness, in other words premenstrual syndrome, (Really every woman has a syndrome? I think not.) is actually an innate biological gift.”
The article can be read here.
In contrast to the new moon, the effects of the full moon are more personal, emotional and directed inward. At times, hormonal reactions to the increased “Full Moon Effect” can cause depression, road rage, hyperactivity, violent behaviour, also increased tendency to develop migraines and asthma.
As I mentioned earlier, on Tuesday I had a weird feeling like something was going to happen. Later that evening, I noticed my emotions surfacing again and I tried really hard to suppress them. This backfired and made me a little aggressive, not to mention quite negative. I did a few things I shouldn’t have done and as a result I was drained emotionally and felt stressed out. YES, THANK YOU FULL MOON AND THANK YOUUUUU BLEEDING VAGINA!!!
Well, I learnt my lesson, next time I see the full moon I’m going to light up some candles and meditate/let my emotions out in a positive way or just keep myself relaxed (grab a glass of wine perhaps?). 😛
