Full Moon practices for a yogi
Lighten up your diet:Experiencing a sense of heaviness and sluggishness during the Full Moon is common, so you may want to eat lighter, nurturing, easily digestible and freshly cooked meals to balance out the heaviness and coolness of the Full Moon.
Cultivate gratitude:
Use the Moon energy to check in with yourself and wright your intentions,dreams, feelings into your gratitude journal.
A growing number of scientific studies have examined the effects of gratitude on mental and physical health. They have revealed that a gratitude practice lifts your spirits, promotes empathy, boosts happiness and can also enhance your relationships, decrease depression and improve your heart health.
Practise calming Left-Nostril Breathing (chandra bhedana pranayama)
Chandra bhedana pranayama involves inhaling through the left nostril and exhaling through the right nostril.
According to yoga philosophy, the left nostril relates to ida nadi. This energy channel is associated with cooling lunar (chandra) energy. Chandra nadi has also been linked to the parasympathetic nervous system (rest and digest response), the left side of the body and the right hemisphere of the brain, which focuses on intuition and creativity.
