Moon as Feminine
The Moon is Feminine energy whereas the Sun is masculine. She represents our intuition and creativity, the rhythm of creation and time, enlightenment and shadow work. The cycles of the Moon teach us to release and invite, surrender and reflect; that we are continuous and ever-changing.
The Moon guides us to go within and encourages us to do self-work while her energy nourishes our soul and supports our growth. Her dark side and light side are very telling in what we need to learn to grow.
The Two Sides of the Moon
The moon is a mirror. She reflects the shadow side of the Sun as well as the illuminating glow.
Under the New Moon (Dark side) it is said that our fears are reflected to us. We are inspired to bring our shadows to the surface and to face all that we are hiding from ourselves and that which we cannot see.
If we can use the Moon as a mirror and see ourselves in her reflection, we are better able to surrender our fears and shadows, creating new space for healing and growth. This is when we invite the new in and create intentions and manifest the new into our lives. The New Moon also reminds us that it is not dark forever.
Under the Full Moon (Light Side) this weekend we can see our brilliance. The illuminating light of the moon shines equally on us all to remind us that we are to live in balance - a perfect harmony of feminine and masculine energy – and that all beings receive the same illumination to remind us we are all ONE.
Under this magnificent light, we are better able to see our conscious selves, better guided by our Higher Selves. Reflected to us is all our growth over the past month, a vision of what is to come, and evidence of what we can do. This is when we complete aspects of our soul work to start the next leg of our journey with newfound confidence.
What is Moon Water
Simply put, moon water is water that is charged under the energy of the moon.
Most of the energy on Earth is emitted from the Sun. Yet, lunar energy is extremely healing and recharges our energy fields. Lunar energy focuses on our subconscious, giving us insights into our spirit, our Higher Self, and our soul work.
When you place your water under the New Moon and Full Moon, the water is essentially filled with the energy from that phase of the Moon. As stated earlier, the New Moon and the Full Moon each represent different energies and the water will take on the energy of the respective phase.
How to Make Moon Water
Here is a step-by-step guide of how to make your own Moon Water. You can do this with as much water as you have containers for.
Grab as many containers as you wish to use. Glass is preferable. I love half gallon Mason jars.
Fill the containers with drinking water. Whether you prefer to use your own filtered water or water from the store, make sure it is not fluoridated. We have a well for our water. I use our tap water, so the minerals are charged.
Make sure each container is covered with its lid or cap or plastic wrap.
State an intention for the water. For instance, “I wish to release ______.” “I invite in abundance of ______.” Place your hands over each container as you say your intention out loud.
Place the water anywhere outside. In the winter, you may place your water outside for a few hours then put the containers in a windowsill or a place where it receives the light of the moon. The glass can break if the water freezes. John and I put our water in clear plastic on the coldest of days.
You may leave your water under the moon the day before the New or Full Moon, the day of and the day afterwards, if you choose. We usually put ours out the night of the full moon and drink it the next morning.
Other Ideas for Moon Water
There are many ways you can use your Moon Water. Below is a list of the most common uses:
Drink it! You will consume the energy of the Moon Water. The Water will more than hydrate you as it will help move any stagnant energy from your body and recharge and empower you.
Add it to your bath. Take a cleansing salt bath (we have Himalayan Salts at the Studio!). The energy from the Moon Water mixes with the energy of the salt to cleanse me and wash away whatever does not serve my highest good.
Water your plants with it. Plants carry their own energetic force and can benefit from the energy of Moon Water.
Use this water to charge and cleanse your crystals. Just be sure before doing so the crystals can get wet or be submerged in water. Not all crystals can.
Use in your home oil diffuser. Mixed with the energy of the essential oils, the moon water will purify, cleanse and recharge the energy of your home.
Make tea with it. Herbal teas carry healing and soothing energy. This can be amplified with Moon Water.
Use it as an aura and space cleanser. Add the water to a spray bottle with a few drops of essential oil and spray the rooms of your home and create a mist around your body.
Get creative with how you use your Moon Water. Allow Spirit to guide you and trust whatever comes to you.
