But less talked about are the benefits of star and moonlight. We tend to be cooped up in our houses at night, sleeping for most of it, so many of us haven't experienced the healing powers of the night.
I was fascinated to read Doreen Virtue's explanation* of the healing powers of star and moonlight, given to her by a group of angels. They say that starlight awakens our higher chakras and opens the mind prior to sleep. "This allows our dreamtime travels to reach even higher and farther into the astral plane." It also helps the unconscious to solve problems and create new ideas during our sleep. In essence - starlight allows for a more profound and restorative sleep.
Not surprisingly, the moon also has magical effects on our systems. Each phase of the moon has different effects, however all moonlight helps us to awaken our psychic and intuitive abilities, while bringing any lingering doubts or hidden fears to the surface, and clearing us of these psychic debris.

If you can't get outside at night as often as you'd like, try placing Pink Green Mica, Moonstone, or any other crystals you may have outside over night. Place them under you pillow the next night, or let them infuse your water or tea before bed. You can also visualize the stars and the moon shining upon you as you're falling asleep. Ask the energy of the night sky to continuously bless you as you drift off.

Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog - it was so what I was looking for today.
I am wondering why it seems like when there is a full moon, I have difficulty sleeping? I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Thanks! Claudia
Hi Claudia!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. :)
The plant and animal kingdoms (especially animal) come alive on full moons. It is a celebration! You may be tapping into these energies.
There might be a few other reasons, the full moon is a powerful time all around, so it might be igniting your psychic senses causing restlessness when sleeping. As always though, ask your inner guide what this is about. Perhaps your body wants to be up these nights, celebrating the full moon with the rest of the natural world!
