Moon power to heal

You may have heard about the gravitational influence of the moon on the brain. Perhaps you have experienced or been told stories of family members, hospital, nursing home or mental health patients whose actions change when there is a full moon. There are also benefits to moon bathing that you might not be aware of or are hesitant to pursue.

No one ever objects to sunlight because the benefits of the rays of light are widely known. When it comes to the moon, however some people are skeptical. Darkness and the light of the moon are thought to some to represent evil, the occult, and dark magic.

The sun and moon were created by the same Source and there is nothing wrong with benefitting from them both. Most people have house plants and spices they utilize and both come from the earth. No one gives a second thought to taking prescription drugs that are chemicals made in a lab.

The sun, and moon along with the plants and spices have all been given to the inhabitants of the earth.

Therefore we should investigate and partake in the natural healing properties that they offer.
