Why does a witch wake up in a woman on a full moon?

On a full moon, a witch wakes up in every woman. Known rituals for the full moon only confirm the truth.

In Natural Magic, Ann Moura writes:
« Witchcraft - it is a religion that honors the life force represented in a dual deity[those. Goddess and God] as a conscious unity. This reverence can be expressed through ceremonies and rituals dedicated to the cycles of fertility, sowing and harvesting, and the phases of the sun and moon.”
The phases of the moon are marked by rituals dedicated to the new moon and full moon, and they are called esbats. This is the time when we communicate with the Goddess, receive knowledge from her and have the opportunity to use the energy that is at this particular time for our magical practice.
I will stop at the full moon esbat.

A full moon in the sky is magic.
If you have been able to watch the full moon rise - when the Queen of Heaven in all her power and beauty begins to rise above the horizon, you remember what a thrill seizes you from head to toe. You are overwhelmed with delight and a feeling of great happiness. Every cell in your body reacts to the ascension of the Goddess to heaven. Yes, that's right, because the full moon is a symbol of the Goddess in all her beautiful splendor.
The full moon in the sky always catches the eye, makes you stop on the way, turn your face to it and smile.
The full moon draws us in, and even if you don’t do anything else as a witch, on a full moon you want to do something special. And you do it. Whether it's a complex ritual, with a lot of attributes, a simple lighting of candles and charging crystals, meditation or, as Deborah Blake writes in the book "Magic from A to Z": “... make a fire and dance in your garden under the stars with a cat, friends or fairies. But if at the same time you are “dressed in the sky” (in other words, naked), be sure that none of those are watching you. Who shouldn’t see your ritual or your cellulite…”
So, why does a witch wake up in every woman on a full moon?
Remember the phases of the moon: new moon, waxing moon, full moon, waning moon.
The moon affects the earth, nature and you and me, since we are part of this world and nature. The moon sends us energy. And if you follow the lunar rhythms or listen to the world, then you - you know that on the new moon - energy sleeps. Energy in everything wide world- almost not felt. There is a sense of slowness, silence.
As the moon grows, the energy begins to grow, it seems to be gaining momentum, there is more and more of it, and the peak is the full moon. Enormous energy splashes everywhere, overflowing both the world and yourself. And this huge amount of energy is so desirable to use!
Magic - the magic ritual of the full moon - helps to direct this huge amount of energy in the direction the witch needs.
If we turn to tarot decks, then the most interesting, in my opinion, the magic of the full moon is shown in two decks: in "Tarot of White and Black Magic" (Pagan Tarot) - lasso I Magician, and in "Tarot Gaia" (Gaian Tarot) - lasso XVIII Moon.

The cards depict a woman absorbing the energy of the full moon.
In my opinion, both cards show a variant of the ritual "Bringing down the moon" . This is a ritual where a witch invites the Goddess into her body. It is therefore recommended to read "Order of the Goddess" - the one that begins with the words: "Listen to the words of the Great Mother, who in ancient times was called Artemis, Astarte, Dione, Melusina, Aphrodite, Cerridwen, Diana, Arionrod, Brigid, and many other names."
In the Pagan tarot - the witch reads the text from the book, i.e. it is quite possible that she is reading the “Mandate of the Goddess”, in the “Tarot of Gaia” the woman holds out her hands and looks at the Goddess. Unlike the young witch pagan tarot, this witch is advanced in years. She already knows the text by heart, therefore, she does not need hints.

Full moon rituals

Now it is clear why every woman becomes a witch on the full moon. But what can you do on a full moon? Rituals, something simple that each of us can do.
In fact, there are many options for where to direct the overflowing energy. Main -

your desire and your belief in what you are doing.

On a full moon you can charge your tarot deck, oracle, stones and crystals, with which you work (moonstone, selenite, quartz, crystal). They need to be placed so that Moonlight fell on them. If you like, you can hold them in your hands and then you will feel how the moonlight energizes your tools of divination.

Traditionally, full moon rituals use white and silver candles, but I really like it. ritual with a purple candle. I found it in L. Malevin's book "Magic of the West".
This is a ritual to strengthen faith in yourself, your strength, i.e. for certainty.
For the ritual, you will need a dark purple candle of a cold shade.
We put a candle in the moonlight, sit opposite and light it. The purpose of the ritual is to see the moonlight, not the flames of fire.
We look at the fire. At first, the moonlight is almost invisible. The light from the fire burns brighter. You need to force yourself to focus on the moonlight so that for your eyes it becomes brighter than the light of a candle.
Candle fire is ours human beginning, uncertain, doubtful. And the moonlight is our inner "I", our spirit, the magic that lives in us.
Nothing can happen at once, therefore, this practice can be repeated on the next full moon.

Simple ritual to attract love with pink candles.
On the full moon, anoint rose candles with rose oil and light them in the moonlight. Ask the Goddess to send love into your life.
By the way, if you can’t find pink candles, white ones will do too. White candles are universal.
If the full moon falls on Friday - a day under the auspices of the Goddess of Love Venus, then this will give additional strength to your rite.

And another rite that helped me a lot. It is described by Ellen Hawk in her book The Influence of the Moon. It's called "Chakra Water"
Many of us have done and are doing chakra alignment for ourselves and others. Our life is not simple. A lot of problems, stress, failures, problems of relatives and loved ones - all this unsettles us. The chakras malfunction in their work, they do not work at full strength or idle, disrupting the smooth and harmonious flow of energy in our body. Hence the illnesses, ailments, mood swings, breakdowns that ... again have Negative influence on the energy of our body and chakras. And it turns out a vicious circle.
Of course, there are special practices on how to set up the work of the chakras, what to do for this. But sometimes there is not enough time, sometimes there is no opportunity, sometimes there is some other reason. The energy of the full moon gives us a great opportunity to use it to improve the functioning of our body.
So, if you feel (or found out through the alignment) that a certain chakra of your body is blocked or out of balance in it, then

• find a bottle or glass (jar, container) that has the color of the chakra.
• pour spring water (or good mineral water) into this container.
• On the full moon, leave the container near the window for the night. It is wonderful if direct moonbeams fall on it. If this is not possible, do not worry, because the energy of the moon will still charge the water.
• Before going to sleep the next night, wash the chakra with water (the place on the body where the chakra is located) and drink some water. At the same time, it is important to imagine the color of the chakra and the fact that the water is charged with this particular color.
• You need to do this three nights in a row.

This simple ritual gives amazing results.
The only thing is that you do not need to use it if you want to enhance the work of a particular chakra, which is already working fine. This can lead to an imbalance in the work of the chakra.
These actions are best performed before going to bed, as lunar energy has great strength and may cause some disorientation in you.
During the day, this can lead to problems, but at night - the opposite. You may have amazing dreams, so it's best to prepare ahead of time and write them down.

In the last article “On the crest of a wave or Surfing femininity”, we figured out that we, women, are influenced by various factors: the menstrual and lunar cycles, the presence of internal conflicts, and the state of health.

Today I want to talk to you about menstruation or as we sometimes say - PMS. Doctors call this a cycle that begins on the first day of menstruation.

Honey, I think you'll agree that the female cycle plays an important role in a woman's life. But what?

Man and woman. What is the difference?

Yes, in many ways, you say. Of course you are right. And the first difference is that men are more consistent and purposeful. Whereas we women are rhythmic and cyclical beings. And ideally, our menstrual cycle and lunar cycles should be in sync. What does it mean?

On the full moon, the beginning of the cycle is favorable, and on the new moon - ovulation.

In this case, our energy and emotional state is harmonized. And then the difference between downs and downs harmonizes for you. A balance is created. Everything is leveling out. You are more calm, more cheerful, more cheerful every day of the cycle.

Interesting? Unclear? I will explain differently.

On the rising moon most of us feel rise in everything: mood, well-being, amount of energy.

On the waning moon you can feel recession mood, energy, activity, and therefore it is decreasing. It is possible that even things will not go the way you want.

What is a full moon? A full moon is when there is a lot of energy in the universe. This is the peak of activity. During this period, the accumulated energies require an outlet. You probably noticed the days when your creative impulse went through the roof. You were at the peak of inspiration. And for some, breakdowns even happen, some are drawn to feats. Lots of movement: dating, starting a relationship.

There is a concept of "new moon". New moon- a state when the moon is not visible. The period of energy decline in the Universe.

So. It is desirable that the menstrual cycle coincides with lunar cycle. Like this?

This is when the beginning of PMS falls on the waxing moon, the new moon is ovulation, but the waning moon is the final stage of the cycle.

After all, during the period of the “red days of the calendar”, we have little energy with you. Therefore, the full moon is ideal for our women's days. There is a lot of energy in the Universe and thus my condition during menstruation is compensated.

And when ovulation (this is when I am as full of energy as possible) falls on the new moon, the period of energy decline, there is no disturbance, no imbalance. On the contrary, everything harmonizes.

In such a situation, there are no emotional swings, everything is harmonized in a woman. We are calm, peaceful, we live in connection with ourselves. Our cycle runs smoothly, calmly and without disruption. And the so-called PMS can pass with the least emotional swings.

It's no secret that many women treat their female cycle as a punishment. And about one mention of PMS, I generally keep quiet. The smile fell off the face, associations with negativity. “The female cycle is a state that constantly prevents me from living.” Full of hassle and worries.

But after all, Mother Nature did not in vain come up with these cycles for you and me.

Menstruation is a special period of activity in a woman's life. The period when negative energy and bad emotions come out of her body. We are being cleansed.

An interesting feature: the longer and more abundant the menstruation, the more negative emotions - anger, anger, the woman collected over the previous month. Can you imagine?

To find out if your cycles of the moon and menstrual cycles coincide, I suggest you keep a diary. In it, mark the "red days" and also the phases of the moon.

The phases of the moon can be viewed in any lunar calendar on the Internet. In addition, I advise you to write down your feelings every day, i.e. what happens to you and when. Write how you feel, what mood you are in today, whether you have strength, energy. Keeping a diary will reveal patterns. After a couple of three months, you can easily predict “when you have a peak of activity, high spirits, and when you got up on the wrong foot and it’s better not to approach you.” In addition, it will help you prevent misunderstandings with loved ones. Warn your man "I'm sorry, I'm having such a period now, I'm not myself ...".

One important point.Why can a woman fail those. why the lunar and menstrual cycles do not coincide as nature intended?

Because many women stop living in the 2nd chakra, i.e. in the female chakra responsible for pleasures, pleasures, desires and emotions. Here we save energy for a man, including for ourselves. Instead, women begin to live "in the head" - in the world of plans, strategies, goals, thoughts, ideas. In other words, live like a man, not like a woman.

How can you connect with this chakra?

Lots of ways. Women's trainings, development of feminine qualities in oneself, switching to sensations, desires, start listening to your body. These are exercises for accepting yourself, your body, for accepting your desires. This is the filling of lunar energy, its correct consumption. Helps with belly dancing. Exercises to relax the lower abdomen.

By the way, menstruation can be painful just because of a tense stomach, i.e. when the connection with the 2nd chakra is broken, when it does not work as it should. After all, menstruation is a spasm with which blood comes out. And if your stomach is tense on its own plus a spasm, that's pain for you. All of the above practices will help solve this problem.

I want to tell you what is the best thing to do during the menstrual cycle.

In ancient times, women understood all the charm and necessity of menstruation, so they left everything - household, children, men. They were secluded. They enjoyed this solitude, connected with nature, did various practices and received a huge amount of energy and strength.

You want to ask, “But what about my affairs, work and anything else?”. By making time for yourself, you will be able to return to your business cleansed and filled. You will have more strength for all your worries and troubles. But if you neglect your menstrual cycle, you are likely to face even more stress. Do you really need it?

In addition, at this time, a woman is contraindicated in lifting weights, doing physical work. You and I need to avoid hypothermia, strong winds, rain.

It is desirable that more dairy products are present in your diet.

Vedic tradition claims these days are strictly prohibited sex life, as well as the adoption of alcohol, smoking and, of course, meat food.

On the fifth day from the beginning of menstruation, regardless of whether you have ended "these days" or not, you need to take a bath, change bed linen. But before this period, it is better not to take a bath. A light shower will do. Because during the first five days of menstruation, a woman is considered unclean. Poison comes out of us, so a woman is not allowed to visit temples, cooking is also not recommended. After all, we feed our man and children, and when we cook these days, we kind of desecrate the food.

Dear ones, when we build our lives, taking into account the characteristics of our body, it gives us strength and inspiration. The closer you are to female nature, the closer your female cycle will be to harmony!

With love, Elizaveta Gurianova

Feminine nature feeds on several types of natural energy (that is, the energy that comes from nature). Earth energy, Water energy and Moon energy. There is also the Divine Energy that all living beings feed on, but let's now focus on those that are important specifically for women.

The first two of them - Earth and Water - are stable and unchanging, do not have any cyclicity, are always the same. The main thing is that they are simply present in your life, preferably every day. Walking on the ground, it is better to be barefoot (of course, not in the snow), live on the ground, and not on the 31st floor from it, dig into the ground if possible (for example, in the sand on the beach, on the shore of a reservoir it is even more healing), interact with earth (for example, dig, grow something in it), take a bath in natural reservoirs, or at least put a basin of living earth under the bed at home and add water from natural sources to the bath (this is at least some option for residents of the metropolis to maintain communication ) and so on. This is what makes our psyche more stable and stable, what grounds us (even the word is clear where it came from) and calms, fills us with strength and health, makes us more flexible and softer.

The energy of the moon has a different feature. She is cyclical. Like a sine wave - remember from school curriculum what does such a curve look like? Every month the moon goes through its cycle of 28 days, every day it is different. It gradually reaches its maximum (on the day of the full moon), then it also gradually decreases to its minimum (on the new moon), and then - in a new cycle - again tends to the maximum. And it's endless.

See the intersection with feminine nature? A woman is also different every day, her mood is different, her feelings and thoughts are different. But, although she herself does not know this, she nevertheless repeats herself, although not too often.

A woman lives cyclically, also reaching in turn either to the minimum or to the maximum of her energy. And all because it is very dependent on the same cyclical nature of the moon.

What are the important days of the lunar cycle for everyone?

New moon.

Usually the most difficult day, when we can be visited by a breakdown and depression, irritability and inadequacy. The energy of the Moon, which we feed on, is zero on this day. The days before the new moon and the first days of the "new" moon are very difficult. It is on these days that “kind” women are usually especially active on the Internet, on forums and in in social networks, on the same days, grandmothers and aunts met in the queue are especially dangerous. On the same days, men get it very hard (who most often do not understand what is happening at all).

Full moon.

On this day, on the contrary, there is so much lunar energy that you can get an “overdose”, especially if you don’t know how to implement it and deal with it. Or if this energy in you is not quite pure and blissful. Therefore, many women are almost as inadequate and irritable.

Women's cycle.

But nature is very wise in such matters. A woman also has a second cycle, on which she depends - the female. Which also has its own minimums and maximums, which is also similar to a sinusoid. The only question is how these two sinusoids - lunar and female - correlate with each other.

The most difficult days are the days of menstruation. It’s not just that there are so many scary and unfunny jokes about female PMS. It really exists, especially for those whose feminine energies are not balanced. There are still days of flight and an increase in a woman's energy - when ovulation occurs. True, it also happens that ovulation is tolerated by a woman very painfully. This is most often associated with certain problems with childbearing, for example, if you really want children, but your partner does not want or does not have one at all, or if you want children, but definitely not from him. Then these days a woman can also feel increased irritability.

So the harmonious female cycle of a woman is equal to the cycle of the Moon (plus or minus a couple of days) and is built in such a way that ovulation occurs on the new moon, and menstruation on the full moon.

Then the peak opposite values ​​of the two cycles create a certain golden mean in terms of the female mood, it becomes more stable, calm and harmonious. And everyone's life is easier. Although this does not mean that she does not have hard days or bad moods.

The most difficult variant of overlapping cycles is when the peaks of zero and maximum activity coincide. That is, on the new moon - menstruation (it is very difficult to survive, especially for her relatives), and on the full moon - ovulation (then she can be hyper-energetic and completely beside herself, not being able to "digest" so much energy). In this case, a woman is like a constant volcano that is ready to explode at any moment: either she is in a mood below the baseboard and “do not fit in - she will kill”, then she runs around the house like crazy and does not know what to do with herself, and urgently.

How to rearrange the cycle?

The female cycle is built by itself, by our body, based on our energies in the body. If now he is not harmonious, it means that there is no harmony inside me - with the feminine principle. The task is not to “drag” the cycle where it is necessary, so that it is good, but to change your sense of self, to discard the superfluous that prevents you from feeling like a woman.

If you change, reveal your feminine nature, discover in yourself everything that is laid in you from birth, the cycle itself will gradually shift.

I speak from the experience of hundreds and thousands of girls who have tried all this and got just such a result. And besides, I experienced it myself - once everything was as “not necessary” with me, but thanks to my internal changes, without any direct efforts in this direction, in about a year everything entered into a harmonious rhythm. Each month, our cycle can shift by 1-2-3 days, and thus, in a few months, it will settle into a better position, helping us to feel happy.

I won’t recommend any special exercises for this, I’m not a fan of any “female practices” and everything like that. But you can start by wearing skirts that cover the knee wherever you can. This will already change a lot in your hormonal system, again tested by thousands of women, for the majority it works.

Ekadashi.

Two more difficult days in each lunar cycle - Ekadashi. They affect everyone, not only women, but also men. 11 days after the new moon and 11 days after the full moon. These are emotionally very difficult days. Most people experience them in one way or another. The tension seems to hang in the air, and people seem to turn into bare wires.

But as far as Ekadashi is concerned, everything is much simpler here. Want to make these days easier? Then I recommend you keep the post. At least - for meat, fish, eggs, alcohol. The optimal level - in addition to the above, also exclude grains and legumes. The advanced level is a full post on the water or even without it at all.

Ekadashi is calculated according to a special system so that the fast is most effective. If at least a few minutes of the 11 lunar day pass to the next day, then they fast on the next day. Therefore, it is better to search the Internet for the “Ekadashi calendar” for the current year. The time of exit from the post will also be indicated there - which is also important. Each belt has its own, usually the first two hours after sunrise. At this time, if you fasted without grains and legumes, you need to eat something grain (at least one grain). If you are hungry, then you can eat at least something.

This is not a religious post, it is designed to reduce the impact of a hard lunar day on our bodies. This day is also ideal for prayers, spiritual practice, pilgrimages, going to temples, austerities, reading scriptures. And the next day - on Dvadasi - it is ideal to make donations, it will bring only benefit to everyone.

Rest lunar days also have an impact, but not as strong. This is individual and not for everyone.

What does this influence depend on?

The moon, as I said, affects all women. Whether we like it or not. But its influence can be different. There are happy women who do not see any difference between lunar days. And there are those who are even conditionally auspicious full moon difficult. What does it depend on:

The moon can also influence men, for example, if they do not have a very good position in the horoscope, many female character traits, there are problems with the daily routine, and so on. But this is rather an exception to the rule, although this does occur, it makes no sense to focus on this.

What to do during difficult times?

If you understand that the new moon or full moon is coming soon, which is not easy for you, then what can you do about it?

Sometimes women say that there are no difficult periods and ups and downs in their life. Most often, not only negative emotions are “missing” in their emotional life, but also positive ones. Therefore, if you notice that nothing affects you - neither the new moon, nor menstruation - check yourself again. Do you have periods of happiness, creative flight, open heart, boundless joy? If yes, then everything is in order, then you have with the moon a good relationship and you don't have to change anything about it.

But if you realized that you simply blocked all the emotions in the body and sensations, then it's time to start clearing these blockages before they lead to big problems.

Women's calendar

The bottom line is simple - for several months, try to track your emotional state. You can take a regular calendar or draw some kind of your own sign on a piece of paper - and write every day:

• Today is such and such a date (according to the usual calendar).
• Such and such a lunar day (in a row) - you can find a lot of lunar calendars that will help you decide.
• Such and such day of the cycle (day 1 is the day of the beginning of menstruation) - if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or you no longer have women's days - you can skip this item.
• And then describe in three words, briefly: how did you feel? Was there anything out of the ordinary? How did this day turn out in terms of emotions?

What could be the most "unusual":

And so on. There may be many options. Just fix the general mood of the day and some states that are unusual for you in ordinary life. For several months - at least two or three - you keep your tablet, where you mark all this. Every day. It takes quite a bit of time.

And then you can already make predictions with varying degrees of accuracy - based on how such a lunar day and day of the cycle usually looks like for you. For example, in the morning you can fry potatoes for yourself, or stock up on chocolate in the evening, provide a front of work for your stormy energy, and so on.

At a minimum, and more importantly, warn loved ones. Forewarned is forearmed. That this has nothing to do with them, they have nothing to do with it. It's just the kind of day you're expecting. Believe me, your husband will be especially grateful to you for such forecasts for the coming day.

Perhaps, here is briefly the most important thing about the Moon that every woman should know. It is a pity that we were not taught this at school - it would be useful for sure.

full moon effect on a person has not yet been studied by psychologists or researchers of unusual phenomena. There is no doubt that people feel the influence of this phenomenon, but what are the reasons. Why the full moon from time immemorial has been associated with the appearance of evil spirits and its revelry also remains a mystery. Many people face these questions, but they can not always find the answer to them.

The mystical influence of the full moon

In ancient times, people tried to protect themselves from any evil spirits and were afraid of its appearance. Especially often its revelry occurs during the period. It is for this reason that people tried to come up with all sorts of amulets for themselves, their families and housing. Many religions and practices offer this day to purify not only the flesh, but also the soul. During the full moon, prayers and mantras are read, which help to find the true path in life. At this time, only an ascetic way of life can contribute to the preservation of the soul.

Not only religions offer protection to believers, schools of witches and evil spirits are also on the alert. The Sabbat of witches and rampant evil spirits takes place precisely during the period of the full moon, when everything around takes on a different form and special meaning.

The influence of the full moon on fate

full moon effect on the fate of saints, regardless of religion and life path, is noted in religious books and eyewitness accounts.

It was during such a period that the great Buddha was born, received enlightenment and plunged into Nirvana. On the new moon, Jesus Christ resurrected and left the mortal earth, ascending to his father. Prophet Muhammad was born and died on a full moon. All these facts indicate that the Moon has a great influence on the fate of great people, saints, and even the children of God cannot escape its influence.

The influence of the full moon on a person

Everyone, at least once in their life, experienced the direct impact of the Moon on their mental state and well-being. During the full moon, according to statistics, the number of murders and suicides increases, people quarrel and come into conflict, various kinds of disasters and accidents occur.

There is an opinion that more children are born on the full moon, people are more likely to experience sexual attraction, especially sensitive and emotional ones begin to experience insomnia. Strange things happen to lunatics who feel this period very keenly.

The full moon passes in several days - this is one day before, one day after and the moment of the full moon itself.
The human nervous system becomes unbalanced and can fail. People often break down, can develop violent activities, experience a feeling of dissatisfaction and longing. Not only a person feels out of place, but also animals. Many have seen dogs or wolves howl longingly at the full moon. This fact is captured in many literary works.

What can not be done on a full moon?

To avoid problems in life, some things should not be done on the days of the full moon. First of all, you can not make responsible decisions. An unstable mental state of a person can play an unkind service, so all important things can be postponed for three days until everything falls into place.

You can't go bareheaded on a full moon. There are several reasons for this. First, hair is the most powerful trap of energy from space. A full moon effect energy can be detrimental. Secondly, lunar rays can act on the mental state.

You can not sleep in the direct light of the moon. On the night of the full moon, it is recommended that the curtains be closed as tightly as possible. Perhaps the stereotype about the influence of the planet on is very exaggerated, and scientists cannot find evidence of this fact, but centuries-old observations say the opposite. In this regard, it is best to heed the advice.

It is necessary to beware of taking drugs, especially those that have a strong effect on nervous system. The following regularity was revealed, all medications are several times stronger.

Beneficial effect of the full moon.

Do not think that the Moon in its full phase can only have a detrimental effect on the human body. Doctors have found that the most complex heart surgeries performed on the full moon are more successful and the recovery process is faster than other patients. This amazing phenomenon called the Transylvania effect.

Interested in this fact, medical scientists began a study. It has been found that in people suffering from heart disease, attacks during the full moon are much less frequent than at all other times.
The influence of the full moon on things.

Not only animals and people experience the effects of the moon in the full phase, but also objects. If a new blade is opened and placed under direct moonlight, it becomes completely unusable the next morning. Nobody knows the answer to this riddle, but the fact remains.

full moon effect on a person and everything around him is indisputable, you just need to be more careful in order to identify these patterns.

This planet controls both the atmosphere in the team and the mood of the crowd, the subconscious and emotions, habits and reflexes, learning and protection.

But most importantly, she is considered the personification of the maternal and feminine principles. It is believed that according to the Moon, you can calculate your "dangerous" and "safe" days, plan conception and correct menstrual irregularities.

Women's lunar calendar

Although experts consider a normal menstrual cycle lasting from 24 to 36 days, ideally it coincides with the lunar cycle and is 28 days, that is, a lunar month.

Moreover, each phase of the female cycle is in harmony with a certain lunar exposure.

New moon

This time corresponds to the first phase of the menstrual cycle (from the 1st to the 4th day). According to experts, it is during this period that seven out of ten patients of maternity hospitals have menstruation.

No wonder!, by folk beliefs, it is on the new moon that you should get rid of everything old, cut your hair to make new acquisitions. Apparently, on the new moon, he also conducts a “general cleaning”.

Growing moon and full moon

This is the second phase of the cycle: from the 5th to the 14th day. At this time, the maturation of the egg occurs. On the full moon, she leaves the follicle, the moment of ovulation comes. At this time, the level of the sex hormone estrogen (it is called the hormone of beauty) rises in the female body, which adds energy, attractiveness, and improves mood.

During ovulation (two days a month), estrogen levels approach the maximum, and the woman becomes especially energetic and sexual. Full moon acts in the same direction - activates all processes in the body, awakens sexual desire. This is the perfect moment to conceive.

By the way, long before the invention of the condom, women were protected, guided by the moon. It was noticed that in those days when waning moon, the probability of getting pregnant is practically equal to zero, but on the full moon and the period of the growing moon, the chances of becoming a mother in the near future are very high.

Can you imagine how easy birth control would be if it were that simple? However, modern scientists confirm the observations of past years. So, according to the University of Illinois, fertilization directly depends on the phase of the moon: conception most often occurs on the days of the full moon, and there is absolutely nothing to be afraid of on the new moon.

It was noticed that in those days when the waning moon, the probability of getting pregnant is practically equal to zero.

In addition, in ancient times, a connection was discovered between the phase of the moon at the moment when a woman is born and her ability to conceive. Lunar day on which a woman was born (it can be determined by lunar calendars), indicates the time most favorable for conception (plus or minus two days).

This is the day when the night luminary is in the same phase as at her birth - a similar coincidence occurs once a month. This simple principle is the basis of the method of Dr. Jonas, a Czech gynecologist, confirmed by many years of research and statistics. It is argued that even conditionally call "infertile women" are capable of conception on a lunar day which coincides with their birthday.

Waning moon

This is the final phase of the menstrual cycle, lasting from the 15th to the 28th day. Time of violent "flourishing" (fortunately, not for everyone), premenstrual syndrome. These days, the level of estrogen drops, but the amount of another female hormone, progesterone, increases, which leads to some apathy, lethargy and drowsiness.

A sharp hormonal surge often causes the notorious PMS, when fatigue suddenly sets in, there is a breakdown, irritability and tearfulness. Psychologists say that with a waning moon, unlike a growing one, pressure drops and almost all processes in the body slow down.

The melting moon has a depressing effect on people, at least statistics show that it is during this period that more frequent visits to specialists about depression and exacerbation of mental problems. If premenstrual syndrome falls on a waning moon, it has a much more pronounced form than in any other lunar phase.

Even if a woman has no idea what PMS is, she has every chance to get acquainted with its symptoms. Irritability, nervousness, tearfulness and headaches most often visit us at this time.

It turns out that the Moon not only moves “in step” with the menstrual cycle, but is also able to disrupt it. Basically, the danger lies in wait for women with increased intracranial pressure. What does this have to do with the monthly cycle and the moon? The most immediate.

On the full moon, intracranial pressure rises, since the moon activates the circulation of fluids in the body (by the way, on the full moon, hypertension suffers from drops in blood pressure, and on the new moon, hypotensive patients experience rather unpleasant sensations). This affects the hypothalamus and which are the main leaders of hormonal processes in the body.

Under the influence of the moon, the work of the ovaries may be disrupted, and menstruation will begin earlier or later than the due date, may be more abundant or painful. It is important to note that the night luminary has such a radical effect only on a weakened body: chronic infections and accumulated fatigue make a woman vulnerable to cosmic forces. A healthy and happy lady does not care about lunar manipulations.

But it turns out that the Moon can also restore the female cycle. For example, so that menstruation begins on the same day, chronotherapists(specialists in biorhythms) - advise to conduct the following experiment.

During the month it is necessary to sleep in absolute darkness, and in the last 3 days of the menstrual cycle, artificially create the effect of a full moon - for this, turn on a weak nightlight or a dim light in the corridor next to the bed, leaving the door to the bedroom ajar. In a few months, critical days will fall at the same time - on the days of an artificial full moon.

Another way to set up a cycle is to "irradiate" the Moon. Scientists conducted an experiment: women with different durations of menstrual cycles slept under the open sky and the direct rays of the night star. And, imagine, in two months their cycles began to equal the lunar one.
