The Healing Powers of Star and Moonlight

The effect on sunlight is well known - both scientifically and intuitively - it wakes us up, energizes us, and brightens our moods.

But less talked about are the benefits of star and moonlight. We tend to be cooped up in our houses at night, sleeping for most of it, so many of us haven't experienced the healing powers of the night.

I was fascinated to read Doreen Virtue's explanation* of the healing powers of star and moonlight, given to her by a group of angels. They say that starlight awakens our higher chakras and opens the mind prior to sleep. "This allows our dreamtime travels to reach even higher and farther into the astral plane." It also helps the unconscious to solve problems and create new ideas during our sleep. In essence - starlight allows for a more profound and restorative sleep.

Not surprisingly, the moon also has magical effects on our systems. Each phase of the moon has different effects, however all moonlight helps us to awaken our psychic and intuitive abilities, while bringing any lingering doubts or hidden fears to the surface, and clearing us of these psychic debris.

Obviously, the most effective way to gain the benefits of star and moonlight is to get outside at night. However with light pollution, crisp air, and the allure of a comfortable, well-lit home, this isn't always the most accessible option.

If you can't get outside at night as often as you'd like, try placing Pink Green Mica, Moonstone, or any other crystals you may have outside over night. Place them under you pillow the next night, or let them infuse your water or tea before bed. You can also visualize the stars and the moon shining upon you as you're falling asleep. Ask the energy of the night sky to continuously bless you as you drift off.

It's Natural (and OK!) To Get Angry

Does this ever happen to you? You're on a roll, choosing positive thoughts, taking time for yourself, and all of a sudden your ego revs up. Fearful, worrying thoughts come up, and you start to feel irritated often.

Don't worry, you're not crazy. In this vlog, I share a personal story of how I go through the same thing, and tips on how to deal with it.

Colour Therapy: Pink

I adore pink. I never did paint my room with the hue, or wear outfit upon outfit of the colour, but I’ve always appreciated how it makes me feel. And no wonder, as it’s vibration has powerful healing capabilities - pink is the colour of divine love, it’s a symbol to “let love in” - allowing you to open your heart, heal heart problems (both of an emotional and physical variety) while inviting tranquility and unconditional love into your life. 

So how can you benefit from these super sweet properties? Here are a couple of my favourite ways to work with the healing energy of pink:

• Visualize yourself surrounded by a tube of pink light. (Doreen Virtue teaches this) This will help shield you from any waves of negativity that people bring near you, while helping both individuals involved with it’s soothing rays. 


• Wear it! Pull out your pink on days when you feel like you want to celebrate love, or at time when you’re craving some sisterly support.
