Once in a Blue Moon is today
Today, 31t January 2018 is a special day as we have the Super Blue Moon and the Lunar Eclipse happening at the same time. So let me break it down for you.
BlueMoon as it’s the second full moon happening at the same month. The first full moon was on the 1st January. This occurrence happens in every 2.7 years.
Super moon is when the moon is closest to earth’s axis and its appearance is definitely larger than usual.
Lunar Eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and Moon are aligned and only occurs during a full moon.
There are many mystical things happen during a full moon. Have you ever heard that someone who is mentally ill behaves extra strangely during full moon? Have you heard that the tides goes extra wild during a full moon? Can these be explained by Science or pure logic? No, and that’s why I call this mystical. Actually these days are pretty important for me. I have special prayers at home and try to visit the temples. But why? I am here to explain my little understanding about the logic behind the significant of Full Moon.
Full moon enhances everything that we are. That means if you are joyful, you will be more joyful. If you are crazy then you will be extra crazy. There seem to be a magnetic force (energy form) connected to the moon and earth and the force is stronger during these times. The energy is significant as we can see the changes in human behaviours and even the ocean. Or perhaps wherever there is water? Water composition in our body is definitely more that 50%!
When full moon enhances everything that we are, I try to become more conscious on what and how I choose to do things today. Basically I engage myself with lots of spiritual activities, reading to enhance my knowledge and lots of meditation from the time I wake up so by evening it enhances everything I feel deep in me.
So what about the Lunar Eclipse?
To my understanding, eclipse fast tracks a full cycle of the moon into a couple of hours. Imagine cramping up a month into about 2 to 3 hours. Well that’s what an eclipse is! When this happens, many things changes but unnoticed as it takes place energy wise. Since young, we were raised not to eat during this eclipse and we don’t leave any leftover food during the eclipse as the food goes bad quickly. That is almost what happens in our body. Well you can experiment this if you like. Don’t worry, you won’t die but perhaps you might experience a slight discomfort or feel bloated. So mum used say imagine if you feel sick, what is actually happening is the food is slowly becoming poison.
So what we can do to stay and feel healthy is not to consume any food during the eclipse. Have your food by 6pm today (Malaysian Time) and use this time for prayers, meditation, reading, reflecting on your goals or just some quiet time.
Till we meet the next time, Adios!
