Full Moon Exhaustion?

I had a question from a member of Moonsong Daily Magick the other day that I thought was a really good one and I wanted to pass it along to all of you.   She wanted to know why everyone talked about the magickal energy of the Full Moon, but she always felt exhausted on the Full Moon and had a headache.  She hadn’t seen anyone else talking about it anywhere and wanted to know if it’s normal.

It is normal for someone who may be sensitive to energy to be influenced by the Full Moon.  It has a huge impact on me!  It’s one of the reasons that you always see me with so much focus on the New Moon.  The Full Moon is a wonderfully magickal energy-charged night and is amazing to work with.  However, it is that, an energetically charged night, and as a sensitive you need to be aware of how you respond to that energy and make sure you take care of yourself during that time.  I have always found it to be a time that makes me more tired than usual and I will often have headaches.  By bringing awareness to it I have adjusted my habits around that time and it makes a huge difference.

Around the time of the Full Moon, you want to work a bit more with personal energy maintenance.  I usually increase my practice about three days before and keep it up a few days after.  During this time, make sure you drink tons of extra water as it’s naturally grounding.  Go outside for a walk in nature if you can. If it’s warm enough outside try to walk barefoot as it’s an incredibly fast way to ground.  You may find that you want extra sleep or rest during this time and that’s ok! It’s your body adjusting to taking in all the energy around you.  Make sure you are eating clean and giving your body the fuel it needs to work a bit harder.  All these little things can add up to a big change in how you feel.  You also want to make sure that you ground and center before and after any energetic work all the time, especially on the night of the Full Moon.  It is always worth the extra few minutes that you put into energy maintenance.

Have a magickal day!

Much Love and Many Blessings,

  1. MM Jasmeine! This really struck a chord with me, only I find I’m totally zapped of energy most often the day or two after the full moon. I’ll feel sleepy most of the day and then early evening (most often before it’s even 8:00) it just hits me and I have got to sleep. Sometimes it’s just a nap for an hour, other moons it’s 10-12 hours! What’s your take on this? I’m not an empath, but I am extremely sensitive and in tune to emotions and feelings, though not controlled by or sharing them … but I do feel, sense, and key in on them. Similar, yet different… What’re your thoughts on this/me? Many thanks! BB ~ Mada Liah

  2. Thank you Jasmine. I have been so tired the last couple of days and have suffered on and off with a headache today. Sometimes I can’t sleep when it’s a full moon and if I do it’s not a restful sleep
