Human beings have always been fascinated by the Moon and the power it has to influence so much of what happens on our planet. In this fascinating event you will have the opportunity to learn from expert Joanna Bristow-Watkins how the moon impacts on your life in so many different ways and how to work with it to maximise the way it can help you.
Whilst not everyone pays much attention to the heavenly body which dominates our sky for much of the night-time, our use of the word ‘month’ derives from the approximate time it takes for the Moon to complete a full lunar cycle from New Moon to New Moon.
The Moon Cycle is actually 29.53 days, however, it is noted that it passes through four Quarters, said, for convenience, to last about 7 days each. These are New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, Third (or Final) Quarter and back to the New Moon.
Between these phases, the Moon is either waxing (getting bigger) or waning (shrinking).
It’s well documented that Full Moon has a gravitational effect on the Earth and this creates our tides, hence all sailors pay close attention to the Moon cycle.
This leads us to wonder, since humans are at least 60% water, does it have an effect on us? Scientists say it doesn’t, but folklore disagrees.
The very term ‘lunatic’, coming from the Latin word ‘lunaticus’, referred originally to epilepsy and madness, thought to be diseases caused by the moon cycle. Indeed, tradition has long held that folks felt more emotional, and more crimes were committed, on a Full Moon.
In this talk, Joanna outlines why aligning ourselves with the moon cycle is very therapeutic, including:-
