Energy Cycles In Nature

Good Morning!

 

Energy Cycles In Nature

 

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 we can'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 of the 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 cycle also 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 studies reveal

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 and quality 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 in balance 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 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 moon as it appears first quarter, 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.

 

The Cycles of Nature are also seen within the days of the week and

times of day. By working within this framework, you are creating, to

your greatest advantage, the most powerful intent possible.

 

Sunday: Ruler: Sun - Healing, Spirituality, Wish work.

Monday: Ruler: Moon - Intuition, Creativity work.

Tuesday: Ruler: Mars - Aggression, Passion, Power work.

Wednesday: Ruler: Mercury - Communication work.

Thursday: Ruler: Jupiter - Expansiveness, Adventure work.

Friday: Ruler: Venus - Money, The Arts, Beauty work.

Saturday: Ruler: Saturn - Responsibility, Task work.

 

 

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).

 

 

Moldavite:

Properties: Variety of Tektite, but twice as rare! (fell to earth).

Dull outside, deep clear green inside. Powerfully expands psychic

abilities, channeling. On Heart Chakra. Eases longing to leave earth.

On pillow, brow, crown: Telepathic access to spiritual laws, info

from higher regions/places to help us and Earth to be healthier and

more spiritual. An intense meteorite helping people incarnating from

elsewhere to be more comfortable here on earth (reducing asthma,

toxin sensitivity, emotional intensity, epilepsy...)(May make some

too spacey; be sure to ground yourself after use and before driving).

Fragile - Don't salt cleanse! More rare, expensive and powerful

than " tektite. "

 

 

Moonstone:

Properties: Feldspar (contains aluminum). Translucent with white,

pink, yellow, soft sheen. Honors the Goddess in all women, Dieting,

Gardening, Psychic Awareness, Meditation. Soothes stress, anxiety,

women's hormones/menstrual imbalance, lymph. Enhances intuitive

sensitivity via feelings and less overwhelmed by personal feelings.

Greater flexibility and flow with life. Connects 2nd and 6th Chakra

and Pineal for emotional balance, gracefulness. Helps all be more

comfortable with our gentler feminine/yin receiving side. Especially

for water signs. Used for protection against the perils of travel.

Known to be of ancient spiritual significance in their connection to

the moon and the intuitive aspect of one's nature. Helps cool,

soothe, and calm over-reactions to emotional and personal situations.

Makes one conscious of the fact that all things are part of a cycle

of constant change. They open us up to the feminine and are

associated with sensitivity, intuition, and clairvoyance. Beneficial

for those involved in agriculture. Moonstone's effect upon the

menstrual cycle is powerful. 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.

 

 

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.
