'Good' days and 'Bad' days |
Lead | |
|
We all have 'em. Sometimes I can't help wonder how other people deal with them. The 'good' ones aren't a problem, really, but has anyone noticed how they seem to come and go as if by their own will? There may be an energetic component involved. I'm not really an astrology 'buff,' but I do suspect there are forces in the cosmos that have a great deal to do with human emotions and our ability to deal with them. Some of us wake up with trouble on our minds, first thing in the morning. Hard to have a good one when you start your day in worry. Others wake up singing and laughing, a good day guaranteed, if some unforseen disaster doesn't appear, that is. Still, I can't help but wonder, how much of our mental state depends on the energetic components of our environment? What do you do to shake off 'the blues?' Is anybody out there?

Hey LL..I could not use my normal name, but this will have to do....Good days and Bad days. What works for me....I have a few things....The easiest is exercise(I know discipline), it does not take alot to immediately lift your spirit. I find stepping, jogging, or bike riding works for me. This also works if you have a problem...Something about the repetitive motions, allow you to think more clearly, and to see the problem from a different perspective. Exercise also works to burn off anger, anxiety and just about anything that ails you. Another thing that works for me, is to just get busy with something. Writing, reading, yardwork, anything, just get busy and you feel like you are contributing to the world...somehow..The last is to just relax, and know this too shall pass(cliche but true).

Thanks, Shamrock, much appreciated. That works for me too, but really, I am kind of a lazy man. If I didn't teach so many taiji and qigong classes, I doubt that I would get as much exercise as I do now. Oh, I would still practice, just not as much, to be honest. What about meditation? Is that part of your regimine too?

Yo, LL: I suspect you already know about the police, fire departments, and medic's opinions of a full moon? I teach, and on the night of a full moon or a new moon, the kids are nearly radical. A recent study on oysters, moved around the US, showed how they reacted to the lunar conditions. It was interesting to watch, especially since, if I remember correctly, they took a while to adjust their patterns from the old location to the new one. If you want a real thriller, watch what happens when the crescent moon has a star almost touching it. The mid-east usually errupts. Naturally, since I have put this down, none of it will happen this time.

Yo Lwishcraft. Very true. I used to work in the security field. Full moons were our busiest time! Also, as a musician, I found the bar scene chaotic around full moons. I feel that energy myself, and I don't really keep track of the moon's phases, but I can tell if it's full, or near full, by my mood and energy level. I hope you're mistaken about the crescent moon.
Keep a good thought. Love LL |

Full Moon and Behavior | ||

Over 100 studies on lunar effects failed to show a reliable and significant correlation between the full moon, or any other phase of the moon, and the homicide rate--traffic accidents--crisis calls to police or fire stations--domestic violence--births of babies--suicide--violence in prisons--psychiatric admissions
--agitated behavior by nursing home residents--assaults--gunshot wounds--stabbings--emergency room admissions. This is a partial list. What does Deepak Chopra have to say about the old myth? |

Re: 'Good' days and 'Bad' days | ||

I'm not sure what Deepak thinks about this, ScientificMind, and I am aware of the ongoing argument between 'believers' and sceptics. As far as the moon goes, I trust my own feelings. The statistics are very misleading. If you look at the sceptics' lists, you will see 'facts' that disprove the theory. If you look at the believers' lists, you see the opposite. I know, as a musician, the bar-fights increased around the full moon, as a security professional, the break-ins and fires (arson) increased during the full moon, and my own experience of always knowing when the moon is full, without knowing the phases, is enough for me. Actually, I'm not so much concerned with the moon's effect on humans, because I know it effects the oceans, plant growth, animals, I also know it effects us. I am more interested in the effects of energy that are not so obvious to human perception. There is an ebb and a flow to the energy and I think it effects us more than most of us realise. Perhaps it has to do with photons. Perhaps it's due to the collective consciousness of humanity. Or, the collective UNconscious. I'm not sure, but I am curious.

LL: Very interesting. I, too, do not put too much in the scientific studies on this event. Studies can be slanted even unconsciously. We get strong winds out here, and that can even create an unusal condition among students; WILD! just like the horse, cats, and etc. get, and let a strom move in! Wheeeee! I guess it is hard to accept that the "animal" in us can act and react like other "animals".

Yo Lwishcraft/Maggie. Statistics show that most of the time, statistics are not reliable. heeheehee
Who knows about the moon? Maybe it's to do with the sun's light being reflected off of the moon to Earth(?) Sunlight certainly effects life on Earth. Why wouldn't reflected sunlight have some kind of effect, too? There is a psycological possibility too; just the sight of the full moon conjures up who-knows-what in our minds? Of course, that would not explain my 'knowing' from my feelings when the moon is full. So, I'm gonna stick with the light theory...or, the reflective light theory...yeah, that's it...it's light! Yeah! LightLizardLaffsLoudly! Love LL |

It's been a tough time astrologically as well.
Lots of Mars (war energy), Mercury just came out of retograde (a time of many conflicts) and we've got a full moon coming up this weekend. Don't even talk to me about Neptune and Saturn (big transformations) - we've been the astrological s***can for a few months now... Arooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!! |

Good strategy, Bob. So, what do you use as a centering tool? Besides coffee...heehee
My thinking/hope is that in sharing techniques of centering we may assist those who are interested in exploring their preferences and attain understanding/self-knowledge.... Love LL |

LL, in my own experience, the energy ebbs you refer to have to do more with our own influence on others. On a bad day, we walk around with negative vibes that "rub off" on those around us, sometimes to the point of being contagious enough that they get into a bad mood themselves. I've also noticed that there are certain people who are important in a society, to the point that whole societies will be influenced. Of course, keep in mind that a societal group can be a family, staff, group of friends, etc.
Here at home, I'm that person. My men are NOT morning people and they can be very inconsiderate first thing in the morning, before and after coffee. I usually don't let it get to me, although there are days when one or all get up in dark moods. If I fall prey to their influence, you can bet your bottom dollar that things will be a mess at home. However, I find that if you keep light in your life, in your day, from beginning to end, that light "illuminates" those around you. Not necessarily to the point of eliminating their bad moods, but enough to get them through the day gracefully. As for being bad morning people and waking up in a mood, I don't think this in particular has anything to do with those ebbs you speak of. It has more to do with, "six o'clock in the morning sucks." |

Centering | ||
|
There's a day-starter (Navajo, I think) that goes this way: face east and thank (your choice) for the new day and warm sun; face south and thank for the moist earth; face west and thank for the fertile rain; then north with thanks for the cleansing white wind.
You can pray to whatever, for whatever, seems appropriate as you face each direction. Kinda connects you to everything to start each day with that thankfulness. |

Re: Centering | ||

Maggie, the technique you speak of is a good one. Anything to get you connected with the light of the world is good for starting the day with positive thoughts and attitudes.
I tried to continue my train of thought, but got cut off before. Hope it doesn't sound too choppy. Going back to the idea of good and bad days, for me it's what you make of them. Sitting back and just letting the days happen is how it should be. However, we get caught up in the reacting. (Isn't it interesting how top's name has been brought up in most of the talks?) We may jump up in anger, react in frustration, etc. instead of being accepting or dealing with things in a more positive light. Of course, this is all loaded with judgement...good/badpositive/negative, etc., but you get my drift. Personally, I find that starting and ending the day with meditation, doing "count to ten" breathing exercises, and letting light flow through me at stressful times helps me deal with difficult things with a modicum of grace. I've also learned, at this point, that contrary to what I myself believe (a paradox), there are people out there who are the Dealing with this that I know is difficult. It has made me acutely sensitive...which alas is a good thing, thereby adding more fuel to the paradox. However, dealing with these people has also made me forge a series of tactics that have proven useful in various circumstances...again, of evil is born something worthwhile...and the flames grow higher. Enough ramblin' for the evening. |
