61+ Full Moon Affirmations

The full moon stars in every horror movie at least once. In these movies, terrible things happen in this period and it brings out the worst in people. Be it a werewolf, zombie, or even a psych patient, they all are affected deeply on the full moon.

There is a reason for that. Back in the day, people experienced a change in themselves and others during this time of the month, but they didn't know what it was and why they were feeling so unmoored.

Every culture also had a myth of its own. What you can and cannot do during this time is quite elaborately laid out in many cultures and religions.

With the advent of science, things changed. We've figured out that the full moon does affect us, but there is no mystery around it anymore. It is the magnetic pull of the moon that brings tides of change in our lives.

However, it is important to remember that change can be both – good and bad. It is up to us to tilt the universe in our favor. We do have the power to change our destiny.

On this day, there is an overflow of emotions affecting our mental and physical state. Just because we cannot see it, does not mean that it does not exist.

The moon cycles:

The reason why we see the moon in the first place is that it stops and reflects light coming from the sun. The moon phases we see vary according to the position of the moon around the sun and the earth.

According to astrology, a full moon appears when the earth comes in between the sun and the moon and all three – appearing to be in the same line. On the other hand, when the moon appears in between the sun and the earth, it becomes invisible. This stage is known as the new moon day.

The moon and the ocean:

There is a profound relationship between the moon and ocean tides. The moon draws the ocean towards itself as if it’s a magnet and the ocean is a piece of iron. This phenomenon occurs because of the gravitational pull of the moon.

If the moon has the power to control the ocean in such a powerful way, imagine its impact on the human body, which is also composed of 70% water.

The full moon brings with it several changes and fluctuations within us as well. If we are able to harness the power of these fluctuations, we can truly make change easier for ourselves.

If we go through life without intention, we're akin to a boat sailing aimlessly in the ocean – going where the ocean and the wind take it.

Effects of the full moon on humans:

Emotional effects

This period can turn out to be both, ecstatic and devastating at the same time. It depends on your state during that period. Whatever your state of mind is, will get elevated.

On a full moon day, if you is mentally disturbed, you'll get a little more disturbed. You will wonder why you are feeling so low and why your usual powers of bouncing back just don't work.

If you are happy, you'll be happier. It is not the moon that instigates sadness or serenity, it only elevates the feelings and intensifies them.

The mood with which you wake up on the day of a full moon will get escalated. All the emotions that you are hiding intentionally or unintentionally will showcase themselves on this day. The full moon will take your qualities may they be positive or negative and enhance them.

That is why we hear the stories of people going crazy on a full moon day. People feel sadder, depressed, and lost during this period than any other. There is an explosion of emotions. Anger, jealousy, and hatred, all take their toll if not managed well.

On the flip side, if you keep yourself happy, joyful, and blissful, you will experience more peace and serenity than at any other time. If you are meditative, the intensity of meditation will increase many folds.

Effects on sleep

A study carried out by scientists in Switzerland focused on the effects of the moon on the sleep cycle. The study found that people need more sleep than usual during the full moon.

They are also likely to wake up earlier than usual. Likely because the study also confirmed that the subjects spent 30% less time in deep sleep. This is likely why they also need to sleep for longer.

Now, we know that whatever energy we have on the full moon day gets heightened. So why not prepare ourselves for that day and make that experience worth remembering?

What should you do on a full moon day?

Preparing yourself

Instead of waiting for the full moon day, you should start preparing 3-4 days prior. You should start thinking positively, keeping yourself happy, practicing full moon affirmations, try to keep stress away from you.

Be conscious and know that you are entering a particular phase of the cycle. Add a reminder 2-3 days before the full moon on your calendar so that it's there in your subconscious.

It also helps you declutter your mind and express gratitude more easily. It will help to write down a few full moon affirmations that resonate with you so they can stay with you.

Tuning into nature

Nature refreshes us. Try going for a walk in the park. Inhale that cleaner oxygen. If that is not possible, spend some time every day with plants at your house.

Just sit alone and think about what you have and not about what you don’t. You’ll be surprised how calming it is.

Contemplating

Spend some time alone and ask yourself some questions. What do you want from life? Are your actions in accordance with your goals? How are your relationships? What do you need to do to improve yourself?

Asking these questions will help you tune in and be more connected with yourself. It’ll keep you grounded and help in the process of self-discovery.

Cleaning up

Over time, we gather a lot of things in our homes. Before we realize it, we've cluttered our wardrobes and shelves with things that we will never use or only just use once.

Decluttering the environment

Start from your bedroom. Change the bedsheet and pillow cover. Remove all the things that do not serve any purpose or don’t give you joy anymore. Watching some of Marie Kondo's videos on YouTube may also help with this effort.

It is a well-established idea that cleaning helps improve our mood. Sometimes the process of decluttering what's on the outside also declutters what's on the inside. Which is equally important.

Decluttering the mind

If you've been struggling with a specific unreasonable belief that you have since childhood or because of your past experience, this is the right time to let it go. Remember, this is a great time to change things in your life.
