There are a lot of people in the world who notice the moon, its changing form and size, while they cycle through every single month.
Watching and observing the moon in all of its cycles is not a new or even hokey thing. In the past and even today, some farmers have planted their crops based on the moon’s phase, a long-standing and ancient tradition.
It is known that the moon has an impact on ocean tides, but it is still not confirmed whether the moon also affects the behavior of humans or not—bad, right, or otherwise. There are people who believe that when they are in harmony with their natural surroundings, they invite peace and ease into their lives. So, spending some time outside possesses its meditative quality, which may help you recharge.
When you were a child, you probably spent most of your time outside in nature, playing with children from the neighborhood. You explored, built forts, rode bikes, played, and even spent all your day outside breathing fresh air.
Spending time outside was the norm for you, and you only stayed inside when you were in trouble or sick. However, today you live in a contemporary world, and you will need reminders in order to see how wound up you became.
You have to remember the importance of getting back to the basics and experiencing uncontrived, pure ease. You have to start noticing, hearing, or opening to experience the brilliant offering of nature once again.
Also, remember that the moon will actually be the perfect source from which you can get inspiration to start noticing the nature of your life and the interconnection between you and other people.
To connect with nature, you can track the moon’s cycles or create some rituals around it, which can be powerful and fun.
During the Full of New Moon period, you can create different rituals and traditions for yourself. Such practices may help you become conscious of life’s cyclical nature. Such rituals may also become involved and complex, allowing you to follow another simpler model.
In the time of a New Moon, you can create some space for yourself during the evening, listening to quiet music. You can write down your intentions for the month ahead, particularly about your feelings or representing yourself in front of others. New Moons are always for setting some new hopes and intentions for our lives.
On the other hand, Full Moons are powerful times for relieving yourself of everything that you don’t need anymore or also removing a part of yourself that you outgrow.
Often, during Full Moons, people get outdoors in order to spend some time under the glow of the moon. Before sleeping, they think of some things they want to release from their life. They set silent intentions around those things and went to sleep.
In fact, there cannot be a wrong or right way of being in harmony with our surroundings—it is ours by design. This is also for the method of setting our intentions, relieving ourselves from certain things, or deciding how we can guide our lives.
So, whether or not to create a ritual around New or Full Moon is your own decision, and it will be good if you do, as you can connect with the natural environment. You will see the changes you will experience from spending time outside and breathing fresh air or seeing the green in front of you.
You can be quite surprised.
