The Blue Supermoon in August 2023: A Dance of Light and Energy

The heavenly ballet of our cosmos never fails to impress. Every now and then, it graces us with a visual and energetic spectacle - and on August 30-31, 2023, the stage is set for the mesmerizing Blue Supermoon. But, what is the significance of this event and how can we truly harness its power for our mind, body, and spirit?

What Is a Blue Supermoon?

To understand this cosmic event, we need to break down the terminology. A "Supermoon" refers to when the moon is at its closest point to the Earth during its orbit, making it appear larger and brighter in the sky. The term "Blue" in Blue Moon has nothing to do with its color. Rather, it denotes the second full moon to occur in a calendar month with two full moons. So, a Blue Supermoon is indeed a rare alignment where a second full moon of the month also happens to be at its perigee, or closest point to Earth. This happens about once every 2-3 years.

 

Significance of the Blue Supermoon

1. Symbol of Renewal and Transformation: Every full moon is a time for shedding and letting go, a symbol of completion. This specific Blue Supermoon amplifies these energies. As it illuminates the night, let it illuminate your life, shedding light on what no longer serves you and making space for new beginnings.

2. Amplifier of Energies: Think of the Supermoon as a giant celestial magnifying glass. Emotions, intentions, and energies are magnified which means it's a great time for manifestation. It's a time when the universe is particularly receptive to your vibrations, whether positive or negative.

3. Sacred Geometry in Play: The moon's closer proximity to the Earth during a Supermoon means its influence on our planet’s energies is enhanced. Some spiritualists believe that this geometric alignment facilitates a stronger connection with the divine.

 

Harvesting the Energy of the Blue Supermoon

Harnessing the power of this celestial event can be a transformative experience. Here are some ways you can tap into its energies for mind, body, and spirit:

1. Crystal Healing:

Moonstone is a popular choice to connect with lunar energies. This shimmering crystal is said to promote intuition, balance, and a connection with the moon's gentle power. Charging your moonstone (and any crystal) under the Supermoon's glow intensifies its energies.

Another potent crystal is Selenite. Named after the Greek moon goddess Selene, it's believed to provide clarity of mind and cleanse negative energies.

2. Sound Healing:

Bathing in the soothing tones of Tibetan singing bowls or crystal bowls during the Supermoon can be an ethereal experience. These sounds resonate with the body's energy centers, or chakras, and can help in balancing and aligning them.

3. Spiritual Practices:

Meditation: Find a quiet space, preferably outdoors, and meditate under the Supermoon's glow. Visualize its light purifying and recharging every cell in your body.

Journaling: Reflect on what you wish to release and what you hope to manifest. Writing down your intentions during this time can set powerful manifestations in motion.

Energy Cleansing: Sage smudging your space can clear out old, stagnant energies, making room for the new, amplified energies of the Supermoon.

Benefits for Mind, Body, and Spirit

• Mind: The heightened energies can offer clarity. It's an opportune time to reflect, make decisions, and set intentions.
• Body: The Supermoon can be grounding. Walking barefoot on earth (known as "earthing") during this time can enhance your connection to Mother Nature and recharge your physical self.
• Spirit: This lunar event can serve as a spiritual reboot, an alignment with the universe, and a reminder of the cosmic dance we're all a part of.

In conclusion, the Blue Supermoon of August 30-21, 2023, is not just a visual treat but a celestial invitation. It beckons us to align with our higher selves, to harness its potent energies, and to remember that we, too, are made of stardust.
