IM & moon cycles

[alsy]

The moon has an affect on the ocean tides as well as plants. My grandparents, along with the majority of people in their region were farmers and from what I understand, it was common knowledge to plant seeds for their crops during the full moon.
The moon has a 28day cycle. Within that cycle it ranges between a full moon and no moon at all. Some people use the moon cycles to determine what periods to be “full steam ahead” with their projects (rising or forming parts of the cycle) and which periods to ease back on effort and activity (fading part of the cycle).
I have adopted this approach, as well as using intuitive feel, plus alignment with earth seasons. The height of manifestation being summer. I view it from a physical activity perspective and a IM perspective as well. I am still evolving with all of this, but have generally found it to be easier, and more productive in the end. Generally speaking, I find more manifestations occurring around the full moon periods. A One of my questions;; Is this only due to my belief about it??? Perhaps amplified due to other people having the same belief about it and am I tapping into that group belief??? In other words, are the manifestations at full moon (predominantly around this time) a manifestation itself.???
Am I giving power to something (the moon cycles) and thus not in my full power.? What do you think.?

Does anyone else use these approaches with Intention Manifestation?
How does it work for you

I'm not really savvy on moon cycles etc..., but have heard that when you want to begin something new, and the like, start during the new moon. Perhaps if this is so, it may explain why one might be seeing more manifestaions during the full moon, which would mean a cycle has completed, or is in the process of showing the results the intention.

I know that when I am at a certain part of my mentration cycle my Reiki energy changes, and I can feel that my hands don't heat up, or the heat pops on, and off, like flickering. I end up having to clap my hands several times to open up the flow. This happens usually shortly before my menstral flow begins. I've been looking for an answer to this, and have had no one discuss this in anything I read, or no teacher has addressed this at any forum etc...The menstration cycle is also 28 days, as is the cycle of the moon. I wonder if their is a tie-in somewhere. Like maybe if the moon cycle/manifestation question gets answered, I'd also have my menstral cycle/Reiki energy flow question answered.

I wonder wether your experiencing the drop in energy with Reiki as relating to distribution of energies in your body occurring at that particular moment of your cycle. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (And general Traditional Chinese Philosophy from how I understand it), It looks at polarity, cycles, and movement or flow. Energy will be distributed to different areas & organs of the body, according to daily cycles and earthly season cycles. There are other factors as well, but what I am getting at, is that the flow and distribution of energy will differ according to mini and macro cycles. I just thought i would throw that in for thought.

The moon also affects hair growth.

I also read on a wiccan website how brushing your hair outside while the moon is glowing will make it become more radiant and beautiful.

I think S/R is getting out of hand.

There are certain realities, and there is your perception of these realities. Some advocates of S/R are getting the two confused!

You only know the realities through your perception of them....hence "subjective reality". However, those realities continue to work whether you believe in them or not; whether you perceive them or not.

On the other hand, it might be possible to "bend the rules" if you could modify your perception of reality. It might even be possible to alter other people's perception of reality and have them experience things that do or don't exist. (Hint: for example, marketers do this on a daily basis)

My answer is coming from a you create your reality/S-R point of view, not really an I-M point of view.

Yes you are giving power to the moon cycles, when the power is your own. In saying that you are not owning all your creatorship.

But... you are also creating the moon cycles and noticing that your manifestations quicken when the moon is full. Ok, so what is the full moon? What are you trying to show you here?

The moon is symbolic of the feminine (the sun is the masculine) and the feminine is also related to the emotional body. The full moon is showing you that when you have a fuller emotional opening, manifestation happens with more ease. Movement in the emotional body is necessary for manifestation to happen.

Now, you don't have to be tied down to the 28 day cycle, but you should probably pay great attention to how you feel when the moon is full and when it is not and see what the difference is. If you can create that openness anytime you will see your manifestations happen with greater ease no matter what phase the moon is in.
