Full Moon Feels

I was listening to an astrology podcast recently and there was a line that hit me. “The full moon comes in the middle of the moon cycle, not the end.” Of course this is something a part of me knew but I had never actually realized it until that moment. I had always thought of the full moon as the destination. People celebrate it, host ceremonies around it, and get crazy weird dreams beforehand. But there is so much that happens before, afterwards, and in between.

It got me thinking about how often we believe the “full moons” in our lives (or climactic experiences) are the destination, when really they come in the middle of a deeply natural cycle of preparation and integration.

How to Digest the Fullness

We spend so much of our time waiting for the climactic experiences instead of actually integrating them. We’re waiting to meet that perfect person, to land our dream job, to have the project we’ve been working so hard on to take off. But what happens after you get everything you’ve ever wanted? What then?

So many people hit a deep depression when they get everything they were dreaming of mainly because they think now it’s over. They’ve reached their destination and they don’t know how to process it. They don’t know how to make these big experiences a part of themselves. Living our lives according to the linear idea of a climactic destination deprives us of a key portion of the cycle — integration. It would be like eating a bunch of food and then your digestive system never processing it into the fuel you need. It just leaves you feeling tired and gross. So how do we digest these big experiences?

Feel Your Ripples of Emotion

Allow yourself to physically feel them in your body. Sometimes our bodies go into shock after big events, whether they be good or bad. That means that oftentimes we don’t actually feel what happened until after it has already occurred. This is because of the way that energy functions, in ripples moving outwards from a source. The ripples come after the drop, not during. Know that and give yourself the space to allow the ripples of emotion to catch up to you. Notice what comes up for you in the aftermath. Are you feeling scared, excited, unworthy, sad, frustrated? Good. Then FEEL that. Don’t think your emotions; feel them physically in your body and allow them to pass through you. They don’t have to make sense. They are a part of your orientation process. Feeling these emotions will give you the emotional experience you need to integrate and work with this big event moving forward.

Let Yourself Be Changed by What You Just Experienced

Once you’ve allowed your physical and emotional body to catch up with you, you can now move with this big experience. Let it be a part of you. Don’t act as though nothing has happened; let it change you. Let it inform your decisions moving forward. Allow yourself to pivot accordingly. So many people will go on retreats, have huge spiritual experiences, come home and get burnt out again. It’s because they are not actually applying what they have experienced. Ask yourself now that this has happened, what will I do differently? How can I carry this experience with me everyday? How can I integrate this experience into my daily life and my body? Then do that no matter how big or small your actions may be.

The Result Is Not Always the Final Outcome

Know that the result of the big experience is not always the final outcome. You have no capacity of knowing when those ripples will end or when an experience is over. Just because someone broke up with you doesn’t mean your chances of meeting your soulmate are over. In fact, it actually means you are even closer. Just because someone says no to your project doesn’t mean you failed. The journey continues beyond the fullness you are experiencing.

Honor the Phase You’re In

In our average lifetime we will see 1000 full moons. That may seem like a lot but that number is limited, as are the climactic experiences we have. And that’s a good thing. Can you imagine if something huge was happening to you every single day? We wouldn’t have the mental, emotional, or physical bandwidth to process it all. We need the waxing and the waning and everything in between. You are not worse off if your moon isn’t full yet. Honor where you are in the cycle of your life, your creations, and your relationships.
