The Power of the Moon: Channeling Moon Phases Meaning in Your Life

"The moon doesn't consider one phase better then the other, she just glows, equally stunning at each time. Why should we be any different." Cristen Rodgers

The phases of the moon don't just impact the ocean's tides. They also preside over the natural tides in our lives. When you attune yourself to the cyclical pull of the moon and become aware of the moons phases and their meaning, you can use its energy to guide the ebb and flow of your life. Feminine and mystical, the moon encourages you to renew yourself each month, and live in a continuous cycle of growth.

The moon changes all the time, working with her phases can reawaken our natural energetic flow, and can give us insight into the divine timing of events in our lives. When we connect with her cycles, we relax and stop forcing. We literally go with the flow. Life becomes more mystical and seems to have its own magical pace. Learning her steps helps us learn more about ourselves and how to realize our full potential in this life.
