    moon cycle

    so...Sheila, this should be right up your street....

    has anyone noticed a connection between symptoms and the lunar cycle? Im going to check my journal against the lunar cycle tomorrow but Im sure that the full moon causes an increase in symptoms, which of course makes sense...I mean the tern lunatic comes from the fact that the magnetic field of the full moon DOES have an impact on the human body.brain and people have ''gone mad'' during a full moon...

    get your silver bullets ready, the FULLLLLLMOOOOOOON is coming!!

    Ha ha! I’ve thought about this, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the moon cycle turns out to be *a* factor, but I never was able to see a pattern with that, and we’re so sensitive in early w/d that a butterfly sneezing in China is also *a* factor in triggering a wave.

    "An initiation into shamanic healing means a devaluation of all values, an overturning of the profane world, a peeling away of inveterate handed-down notions of the world, liberation from everything preconceived. For that reason, shamanism is closely connected with suffering. One must suffer the disintegration of one's own system of thought in order to perceive a new world in the higher space."

    Who knows? My sister used to work with disabled people and swears they changed when there was a full moon. I've heard that the same thing used to happen to the people in asylums.

    If moons can affect tides, which is common knowledge, why not moods and other bodily things? If - ok going to get spiritual here - if the body houses the spirit - as some believe (myself included), then why would that energy NOT be affected?

    Interesting topic Iggy



    Hmm... It just occurred to me. Isn't this what astrology is all about? Or was derived? Or something?

    I have not noticed anything, but popular wisdom says that matters. I do not know.
    Also seasonal changes. In fact, I wanted to start Seroxat decrease in May, and the nurse told me wait, that should not begin decreased en spring.
    Lately I have heard about solar storms.
    In reality, I have little knowledge about these things.
