Meaning of Life 2
April 11th, 2008 Gennaro Brooks-ChurchI always get melancholic around the new moon, especially the few days leading up to the new moon. I don’t keep track of the moon cycles, I can barely keep track of important day to day events like what time to pick up my daughter at school. But the moon cycles keep track of me. Whenever I am feeling melancholic and “off” it is always a consolation when I learn that it is the new moon. It takes all the “why” out of my mood. I am not down for A REASON, such as I got bad grades in school etc, I am down because I am connected to the celestial bodies. The universe out there and the universe in here are one and the same.
And the moment I take a reason out of my mood I can relax into it. The new moon time is such a rich time. It is when I get my deepest insights and internal shifts. Sometimes when I let the mood do its thing, I can literally feel a physical shift inside me, just like the feeling you get when an airplane passes through an air pocket and sinks downward ever so slightly.
That shift needs to happen. If I don’t let the mood do its thing then I am not ready for the next phase (each phase being 28 days). It is an energetic realignment much like the body goes through every time you go to sleep.
