The Magic of the Moon

“Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. It must have some effect somewhere.”

  – Keanu Reeves




“The Moon has been up there as long as evolution has been taking place, and lunar rhythms are embedded in the life cycles of many organisms.”

– Dr. Tom White

When I see the Moon, I am frequently struck by wonder, awe, and a sense of beauty. It’s always there, constant, yet changing. The Moon brings a sense of psychical comfort and familiarity as it silently witnesses life on Earth.

The Moon is magical, and the more I learn about its history, science, and geology, as well as its symbolic meaning in astrology and the occult doctrines, the more I feel love, enthusiasm, and inspiration about the Moon. The work of Activating Lunar Alchemy is a spiritual practice of attuning to the Moon’s rhythm, designed to gently promote spiritual growth and healing.

There are many benefits to working with the magic of the Moon, such as:

• Attuning to the Moon’s rhythm promotes healing and self-regulation

• Working with the timing of the Moon teaches you to work smarter, not harder

• The Moon stimulates life, growth, creation, and regeneration

• The Moon’s rhythm teaches a pattern for transmutation, allowing you to transform painful patterns into strength, resilience, and blessings

• Utilizing the Moon as a mirror increases your self-love and self-acceptance

• Engaging in this consistent Moon practice develops your intuition and awareness

Attuning to the Moon’s rhythm promotes healing and self-regulation

Did you know that the Moon steadies the Earth’s wobble, regulates its spin, and stabilizes its seasons? Without the Moon, the Earth would be spinning frenetically fast as it orbits around the Sun.

Without the Moon, the Earth would experience radical shifts in the tilt of its axis, causing temperature extremes that would be unsustainable for life. The Moon provides the Earth with a steadying influence and a rhythmical balance that supports growth, life, and gentle change.

Working with the timing of the Moon teaches you to work smarter, not harder

One of the reasons I started to work on attuning to the Moon cycle was to optimize my synchronicity with divine timing based on astrological cycles. As part of my interest in the Moon, I also studied and practiced gardening with the Moon cycle.

In gardening with the Moon, you optimize the energies of the Earth, Nature, Sun and the Moon by working with the Moon’s rhythm to guide planting, fertilizing, harvesting, and pruning times. Gardening with the Moon brings more life vitality to your plants, your garden, and your soil and encourages greater growth and productivity in the garden.

The Moon stimulates life, growth, creation, and regeneration

The Sun, Moon, and Earth are in an optimal relationship to give rise to life. You’ve probably heard that Earth resides in the ‘Goldilocks Zone’ of the solar system, a place that has just the right conditions for life. The relationship between the Earth and the Moon and its synergistic orbit also supports the conditions that give rise to life.

The Moon regulates the tides and gives movement and agitation to the oceans, providing the ideal environment for the first life on Earth to catalyze. Not only did simple life form from the oceans, but it continued to form, change and evolve. Scientists believe this evolutionary growth is due to the consistency of the Moon’s rhythm, its effect on the tides, and its stabilizing force on the climate.

The Moon rhythm teaches a pattern for transmutation, allowing you to transform painful patterns into strength, resilience, and abundance

Lunar Alchemy teaches you a method for aligning with the Moon’s rhythm to induce an alchemical process - transmutation. Transmutation is the process of changing “some essential element into a superior form.”

As you aspire to grow and deliberately create your life, you’re being pulled toward this superior self, your greater potential, and you’re inviting change. In order to support new growth, you have to let go of the old or transmute it into an energy that sustains the new state.

Utilizing the Moon as a mirror increases your self-love and self-acceptance

This is a self-reflective process. You supply the dreams, the action, the reflection, and the letting go in order to move forward and bring forth your best life. The by-products of this self-oriented healing process are self-love and self-acceptance.

As you create more in your life, you naturally come up against beliefs that you hold about yourself, old childhood narratives, and painful patterns you carry as a result of your life experiences. This Moon cycle process invites you to embrace these patterns and stories, let go of the pain, and develop self-love and self-acceptance in their place.

Engaging in a Moon practice develops your intuition and awareness

 
As you increase your self-conscious awareness through this Moon work, you also develop your sensitivity, sense of self, and intuition. When you’re not cognitively aware of what’s happening within you — what you’re sensing and feeling — it’s difficult to access the information from your intuition.

In essence, you’re not listening to or paying attention to the signals. As you tune into yourself and your creative rhythm through the Moon work, you rekindle that awareness and your ability to hear, sense, and feel what your intuition is communicating to you.

Why Moon is magical?


Like in human life, it’s hard to know ourselves without being in a relationship with another. Self-conscious awareness begins in early childhood during the Mirror Stage when children begin to recognize themselves in the mirror. This can spark an identity crisis as the child realizes they’re separate from their caregiver, but it’s also an opportunity for individuation and psychological development. The Moon is a mirror for the Earth, and symbolically, you can
use it as a mirror for your continued individuation, development, and growth.

The Moon is a fascinating companion. The Earth is in a constant relationship with the Moon, and this synergistic relationship has given rise to incredible miracles, such as life on this planet, the tides, and the conditions for evolution.
