Tonight's full moon is to be the biggest & brightest of 2012. And it is beautiful!!! For the last 5 years I've noticed I get more anxious during a full moon. Made sense to me based on what I know about the mysticism of the full moon. But since about 6pm yesterday I have been SUPER hungry and cannot seem to eat enough. So I've been searching the Internet high & low to find a link between the full moon and my hunger. Well - I'm sure you are not surprised - but there is nothing that supports this theory.
So I went to yoga tonight (hungry) and had a great practice. For the first time I did Moon Salutations. And when the practice was over I wasn't starving anymore. I came home, ate an appropriate portion size - healthy dinner. Had a glass of wine and felt satisfied! So maybe what I needed was the accomplishment of a yoga practice instead of eating? But either way the Full Moon does have some power!?!?
Moon salutations can shift energy without increasing heat in the body and tend to be less stimulating than Sun Salutations, thereby balancing hot emotions, relaxing and calming the mind and body and restoring balance. ...the Moon Salutations cool us as we prepare for our journey of descent; going inward, uncovering our wisdom, creativity, balance and inherent intelligence, hence opening the path for enlightenment.
The Moon Salutations are especially effective when practiced during the full moon, as this is the most powerful lunar phase. The amazing Moon Salutations are not just for full moon practice and are for any time of day, but are especially beneficial when performed in the evening as the series of poses is designed to calm the mind and relax the body. http://www.eternity-yoga.com/yoga-moon-salutation.html
