It's a new moon yesterday and today. My sensitivity to moon phases varies from month to month and sometimes the effect of these phases can be almost a self-fulfilling prophecy when you expect yourself  and/or others to behave or feel in a certain way.

This time however, I could tell without checking the calendar, that it was an extremity of the moon position. Why does it even have any significance?

It certainly makes sense that if moon phases affect the oceanic tides and our bodies are comprised of over 70% water, the moon would affect us too. So when my teacher encouraged us to start taking into consideration the moon phase when planning yoga classes, I was curious. I decided to research the relevance of it to yoga and meditation and then tried to see whether it applies to my own experience. At first, I could only feel it remotely, intuitively, however with time my senses sharpened and I was able to observe the energy quality in yoga space as well as shifts as they occurred. Then it seemed like it was actually a fairly consistent pattern that certain types of practices would have an amazing depth on certain days. And to summarize the New Moon patterns that have been there all along and that I have been able to eventually take notice of, are:

at the new moon, energy wise we are the lowest. Which means it's a good idea to rest. If you have to practice, dedicate time to restorative, replenishing yoga and meditation. It's also a good day to fast on fresh juices and lemon water to synergistically cleanse the system

the new moon is an auspicious time for all new beginnings. Meaning that sometimes you can also experience a great deal of frustration when you realize that some of the things happening in your life, are not directly aligned with your intentions.. So use this time to re-set the goals, realizing what exactly is in your way to achieving/experiencing/feeling what you truly want
