Full Moons are a time for releasing and relinquishing. With each month's moon cycling through different astrological signs, astrologers say it’s a great time to notice the specific energy and influences it may have on the world it orbits. The Pisces harvest full moon occurs at 2:59 am PDT on September 10th, bringing with it some heart-evoking and spiritual energy that’s perfect for practicing meditation.
The full moon occurs when it’s in opposition to the sun, so it illuminates brightly in the sky while reflecting the sun’s light to the fullest extent. Here at Divinity Studio in Lincoln CA, we find great value in combining meditation with the moon phases to activate powerful and transformative results.
Harnessing the Power of the Full Moon
This September's full moon in emotional Pisces brings illumination to heightened sensitivities and psychic abilities. Throughout this article, we will share with you three ways that meditation can be a powerful tool to help you get started with connecting to your higher self and harnessing the power of this active energy to achieve happiness, healing, and peace of mind.
The Benefits of Meditating with this Pisces Energy
If you feel drained, burned out, or overwhelmed, it's time for a break. Rest is rejuvenating and renewing and studies show that even just 10-15 minutes can make a significant difference in how you settle your nervous system. It can lower your heart rate, and blood pressure, strengthen your immune system, reduce stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, relieve insomnia, and help improve cognitive function. It also allows you to feel more compassionate towards others as it helps increase self-awareness. You'll be able to handle any situation that arrives at your door with more ease if you practice meditation more regularly.
Meditation can also promote creativity by helping you find new ways to solve problems. We recommend spending some time each day listening to calming music and focusing on your natural breath for about 5-10 minutes. There are plenty of free guided meditations online as well as apps such as Calm or Headspace. Meditation has been shown to have benefits from depression relief, chronic pain relief, decreasing substance consumption, and emotional management improvement. Do you think you could find 5 minutes a day to just focus on your breathing?
