    Energy Cycles

    The Cycles in Nature are important when doing any kind of

    empowerment work. When working with the energy of natural

    cycles, you are likely to get better results. The cycles of the moon

    have great power when doing empowerment work.

    This influence is not a constant, unchanging thing, however, and

    an understanding of the basic lunar cycles can help us to

    understand how these cycles influence our lives. The moon orbits

    the earth about every 29 days, and this first cycle is the one most

    people are familiar with. The moon is illuminated by sunlight, the

    giver of all warmth, light, and life in our solar system, but wecan't always see the part being lit. As the moon goes around the

    earth, we see the moon from different angles. When we see a full

    moon, the moon is directly opposite the sun, when we see no

    moon, its because the moon and sun are in the same direction.

    The moon goes from dark moon (no moon visible) through the

    waxing stage, to the full moon, to the waning moon stage, and

    then back to the dark moon stage. This first lunar cycle is one ofthe main factors controlling the amount of reflected light we get

    from the moon.

    The second lunar cycle is distance: the moon's orbit around the

    earth is not perfectly round, and so the moon is not always the

    same distance from the earth. This changing distance is what

    makes the moon seem bigger sometimes. The moon's power is up

    to 25% greater when it's at its closest point. This second cyclealso effects the amount of reflected light we get from the moon.

    The third cycle is the height of the moon in the sky. The moon's

    orbit is not parallel to our equator, and so the moon "wobbles" in

    its path around us. This wobble makes the moon higher in the sky

    at some points of its orbit than it is at other times, and effects the

    quality of the light we get from the moon.

    Like all living things, we are closely tied to light and its effects.

    Though most people don't think about it, the amount and quality

    of light we get has a big impact on our lives. "Quality" is more

    than a sense of a light's "warmth" or "coolness." These terms are

    used to describe light that is either more towards the red end of

    the spectrum (warm) or towards the blue end (cool), and studiesreveal that the "color"of light effects us greatly.

    But the moon does more than simply reflect sunlight, it also

    transmutes it, changing its energies slightly and adding its own

    subtle vibrations. Moonlight may be reflected sunlight, but, in

    being reflected, it takes on a character all its own.

    The three basic lunar cycles control both the amount andquality of light we get from the moon and its gravitational and

    magnetic effect on us, as well as all living things.

    All you have to do is learn to listen to the heartbeat of nature and

    begin to dance in time with its rhythms. Where the sun can be

    seen as life and spirit, the earth seen as body and physical, the

    moon can be seen as the successful combination of physical and

    spiritual. In it's dance through time and space, the moon is inbalance with the forces around it... it is in harmony.

    "As without, so within". Knowledge of the basic cycles of life is

    an understanding of the forces that motivate and drive us; the

    forces that affect our lives.

    *When the moon is waxing,that is when it is growing toward a

    full moon, it is time to do empowerment work in manifesting,

    expanding and growth.

    *When the moon is waning,that is when it is shrinking after a

    full moon, it is time to do empowerment work in diminishing,

    decreasing and dissipating.

    It is important to work WITH the cycles of the moon. To do

    otherwise, would be to waste your valuable energy. Once you

    accustom yourself to the cycles of the moon, you will be able to

  • 8/3/2019 The Moon and it's Energy Cycles

    4/14

    use that energy for more than just empowerment work.

    Waxing: : to show a progressively larger light

    surface, as the moon does in passing from new to full.

    Waning: : the period of the decrease of the moon's

    illuminated visible surface.

    Gibbous: : more than half but less than fully

    illuminated. Used of a celestial body, as the moon.

    Crescent: : the figure of the moon as it appears firstquarter, with concave and convex edges terminating in

    points.

    Apogee: : the point in the orbit of the moon or an

    artificial satellite most distant from the earth.

    Perigee: : the point nearest the earth in the orbit of the

    moon or of a satellite.

    Crystal Associations with the Moon

    Embracing the energies of the moon can be a great tool when

    you are doing any kind of empowerment work. The moon has a

    powerful relationship to our lives. The moon's influence can be

    seen by its connection to the Earth's tides. There is a connection

    to the moon and the intuitive aspect of one's nature. The phases of

    the moon relate to seasons, color, menstrual cycles, life cycles and

    along with the sun, the moon's energy is a higher conductor and

    amplifier of our moods and emotions.

    Meteorite:

    Properties: are usually solid, dull, mottled, brownish to black. Non-iron varieties

    amplify thoughts/telepathic sending/receiving, greater awareness, some

    connection to extraterrestrial life. Odd/unusual energy, best used by those drawn

    to them. Some believe that since Meteorites are in tune with the energies of the

    cosmos and therefore more capable of raising our energies to a universal level.

    Others believe that that since they have no connection to Earth. Perhaps a

    reasonable way to approach this stone is to try and tune into its energy on an

    intuitive level and decide whether or not it would play a good role in your life.

    (This is a good rule for all stones or gems of the Earth as well). Buy Meteorite

    At the time of the full moon or menstruation, women should be aware of their

    sensitive emotional nature and remove these stones. May help all parts of the

    lower torso, which include digestive, cleansing and reproductive organs. It is

    recommended for farmers, artists, dancers and young men. Buy Moonstone Now

    Tektite:

    Properties: is a type of natural glass, chemically and structurally unique, of

    meteoric origin. Tektites are found on earth within a narrow equatorial belt 80

    degrees wide. They have been found in Thailand, Australia, Vietnam and the

    Philippines. Tektites usually have a heavily pitted surface. Many have the

    appearance of being stretched while in a molten state. They appear black, but

    when held up to the light, you can sometimes see a golden tint in translucent

    areas around the edges. Assists one in attaining knowledge and learning lessons

    throughout the travels of life. Balances the feminine/masculine, provides insight,

    strengthens one's energy field. Can stimulate thought transmissions. Buy TektiteNow * Order Other Forms of this Stone

    Biorhythms

    Biorhythms are a method to predict three cycles in your life based

    on your birthday. These cycles are the physical, emotional and

    intellectual cycle. Each of these cycles goes through different

    phases: high, low and critical.

    The scientists Dr. Hermanna Swoboda and Dr. Wilhelm Fliess

    discovered biorhythms at the turn of the century. Both scientists

    weren't working together but discovered biorhythms at about the

    same time. At the beginning of the last century, Dr. Wilhelm

    Fliess noticed identical rhythms in the case histories of his

    patients. He observed active and passive phases in the physical,emotional and mental aspects of humans. From these observations

    he derived the principle of the biorhythms: The physical curve

    with its cycle of 23 days, the emotional curve with 28 days and

    the mental curve with 33 days.

    His interpretation of cycles are expressed when the curve of any

    cycle is above the midline, we experience a "high" in the

    corresponding field (physical, emotional or mental):

    1. If it is the physical curve, you will feel bodily well and, for

    example, if you were to have an operation the body would be

    more resilent.

    2. If it is the emotional curve, you will be in a good mood and

    your contact with other people will be positive.

    3. If it is the mental curve, your thought processes will be

    sharper, concentration will be easier and you may have a lot of

    ideas and insights.

    When the curve of any cycle is below the midline, we experience

    a "low" in the corresponding field:

    1. If it is a physical low, you may feel weak and listless.

  • 8/3/2019 The Moon and it's Energy Cycles

    9/14

    2. If it is an emotional low, you may feel miserable and out of

    sorts.

    3. If it is a mental low, thinking can be foggy and concentration

    hard.

    When any of the curves crosses the midline, this is a critical time

    in the corresponding field and if two curves cross the midline at

    the same point, this is a very critical time. Critical in the

    physical field means you may feel exhausted and it is better to

    avoid physical effort and operations. Critical in the emotional

    field means you may feel irritable and sad, and emotional

    outbreaks are likely so it is better to avoid conflicts andarguments. Critical in the mental field finally means sluggish

    thinking and it is better to postpone activities that demand a lot of

    concentration. Biorhythms can't predict or explain events, they

    can only suggest how we may deal with them.

    Consciousness and Awareness

    Limited views and opinions are stifling. They detach us from

    reality, decrease our awarenss and shut down our mind. We all

    have a limited view of some areas of our lives. Gaining a broader

    perspective is self awareness. Being able to open up your mind,

    allowing a free flow of thoughts and ideas can be liberating.

    Welcoming a new opinion or way of doing something can bring

    new meaning to your life. If you give up your closed thouughts

    and make way for a different opinion, you may be suprised at the

    outcome.

    Striving to meet difficult goals has pushed us to stretch thehorizons of what we think is possible. We share the ways in which

    obstacles and challenges have made us stronger, and given us

    confidence to continue setting goals and dreams in our

    adventures, our business, and in our day to day lives. This is

    conscious living. To start living in consciousness, we must start to

    experience the fourfold ordering principle as the four functions:

    sensations, thoughts, feelings and willingness.

    *Sensations Sensing means perception; observe; 5 senses;

    unprocessed information; intake; direct and immediate

    consciousness; discern; sensuality; left brain; sex and excretion;

    sense data; and waking consciousness.

    *Thoughts Thinking means: reason; relate; rational; logical;

    analytical; discursive; ratiocination; order; consider; reflect;

    ponder; cogitate; dialectic; symbolize; conceive; connect;deliberate; either-or; both-and; enumerate; hind brain; breathing;

    language; and reflection.

    *Feelings Feeling means the following: love; emotions; affects;

    drives; fun; intensity; enthusiasm; exhilaration; moods;

    imagination; force; power; passion; sentiment; strength; laughter;

    joy; humor; playfulness; right brain; metabolism; impulses; and

    dreams.

    *Willingness Willing means the following types of

    consciousness, the following experiences: action of all kinds;

    decisions; doing; determining; controlling; yes-no; on-off;

    accomplishing; effectuating; carrying out; implementing;

    working; ordering; intuiting; forebrain; deep sleep and attention.

    Make a Self-Awareness Journal

    1. For two weeks, make notations whenever you have a mood

    swing, emotional upheaval or change in energy (such as

    hyperactivity or lethargy).

    2. Note the date and time of the event.

    3. Note what actions you take to bring yourself back to balance.

    Do you sit down and do yoga, stretch, meditate. Do you recite an

    affirmation? Do you binge eat, purge, have a drink or do other

    actions revolving around food?

    4. If you react with food, what do you eat? Find comfort in?

    5. Note what you appeared to by unaware of, just 24 hours ago.

    6. The Self Awareness Journal is NOT a judgment tool. It is a

    way for you to go back to it, AFTER a week is done and look at

    habits you may not even realize you are doing in response to

    change.

    7. After committing to two weeks of journaling, take a look at

    the overall process. Was it somehow helpful to you? In retrospect,

    did you gain valuable information from it?

    8. If so, consider writing in it for another week.

    9. You can use this journal to write down "positive progress" as

    well. Did you make any changes after your first two weeks?

    10. Your Self Awareness Journal can just be the tool you need to

    take you to a new plateau of understanding your emotional

    connection to either you lack of awareness or current state and

    how you can actually take control and do something about it!
