Okay, so I’ve been feeling this pull towards understanding the sun and moon on a deeper level, like, beyond just “day” and “night,” you know? I kept seeing all this stuff about their spiritual meanings, so I decided to dive in and really feel it out for myself.
My Little Sun & Moon Experiment
First, I started paying way more attention to the sun. Like, not just noticing if it was sunny, but really feeling it.
- Waking Up With It: I started waking up earlier, around sunrise. I’d just sit by the window and watch the colors change. I noticed how my energy levels would slowly increase with the light. It felt…good. Seriously good.
- Midday Power: At noon, when the sun was highest, I’d try to step outside, even for just a few minutes. I’d close my eyes, feel the warmth on my skin, and just…breathe. I felt a surge, like I could take on anything. It was a real boost, better than any coffee.
- Sunset Chill:As the sun began to set, I took this moment to find a peaceful spot and observe. I did nothing more and just felt the light slowly going away. It’s like a natural signal to start winding down.
Then, I did the same with the moon.
- New Moon Intentions: When there was a new moon (which I had to look up at first!), I used that time for some quiet reflection. I thought about what I wanted to start or bring into my life. It felt like planting seeds in the dark, you know?
- Full Moon Release:Then, during the full moon, wow. I could feel that energy. Instead of trying to start something new, I focused on what I wanted to let go of. Old habits, grudges, whatever. I even wrote some stuff down and (safely!) burned the paper. Corny, maybe, but it felt…cleansing.
- Just Gazing: Some nights, I’d just sit and look at the moon. No agenda, just appreciating its beauty. There’s something about that soft glow that just calms me down.
I did this for a few weeks, just really tuning in. It wasn’t some big, dramatic ritual. It was more about being present with the natural rhythms of the sun and moon.
The result? I honestly felt more connected to, well, everything. More grounded. I felt like I was tapping into something ancient and powerful. I realized that the sun’s energy really does fuel action and outward focus, while the moon’s energy is more about introspection and letting go. It’s like they’re two sides of the same coin, both needed for balance.
It’s not magic, but it is pretty magical. It’s about remembering that we’re part of something bigger. If you’re feeling a little lost or disconnected, I totally recommend giving this a try. Just pay attention. Feel it out. You might be surprised at what you discover.
