Full Moon Madness: The Search for a Relationship between the Mind and Lunar Cycles

I can relate to Kevin (his father) and Janice's son, above, although my energy changes almost immediately after the moon is at it's fullest.
some months are insane the energy is so powerful it just takes over me and even though I can remember every thing I said, it's usually been a 'good' fallout, i.e., stopped working abruptly for someone who I didn't want to work for and it's always filled with not-so-pleasant words....
After 17 years, my wife understands that I get strange or crazy before the full moon. Sometimes a day or two before and the peak of my strange energy is just before the moon starts waning. Can the alignment of the stars at the time of full moon have different effects?
I was born 9 hours & 21 minutes just after the full moon. I would like to understand this more as it seems to affect many people and Science rejects it....they just recently recognized 'chi' as 'real energy' whereas the Chinese have known and benefited from it's understanding for thousands of years......I would like to understand it more although my attitude is that 'it's just Mother Nature' and all I can do is be a witness.....although if I know ahead of time then I'm prepared and can keep my cool.......Good luck & best wishes to everyone else visiting this path.

My dad gets affected by the full moon, he gets cross when its full moon, and sometimes i think he says things to me or someone else that he didnt want to. And you cant really talk to him for 3 days.

i dont know why but every time thare is a full moon it inpacts me .. i feel good and grate anergy hit me .. i feel at peace . im12 and i dont care if people call me crazzy but thats how i feel .

I don't know why or how, but I know that it isn't the sight or knowledge of the full moon that makes everyone act insane. I always know when there is a full moon coming because my drive to/from work is markedly more dangerous. Surely not everyone on the road keeps up with the status of the moon? I don't even bother looking at it except on the rare occasion I notice the high level of pulled-over vehicles and wrecks while going home. Same route to work for four years, you know when something is making that day different, and every time I get cut off three or four times, pass two wrecks, and see blue lights all in one 30-minute trip to work... yeah, I'm sorry... "science" is a joke when you cut out common sense.

I can feel the earth spinning a little off its axis every now then. Ill be sitting very still either reading or watching tv and for a slight second Ill feel off balanced mostly in my shoulders and top of my head. Sounds strange? Anyone out there agree that you too have experienced this. P.s...I do have all my marbles ...lol..or dont I?

I also experience many of the 'symptoms' listed in the above posts. I cannot sleep just before, on, or just after a full moon....even in a room with blackout shades. My body feels more activated, and my decision-making process becomes altered a bit. I am a very chill person and when the moon comes around, I am more impulsive and irrational. Sometimes the effects are more intense than others. This may sound bizarre, but I frequently wonder if there is a correlation between astrological signs and the moon. I have a hypothesis that the water signs are primarily the ones who experience this. I'm a Cancer. What are your signs?

Hi I have been feeling a huge amount of tension over the last couple of days,ending in a meltdown last night.The sky is clear tonight and now I see that it is just past full moon - looking at the calendar I see that it was at it's fullest at 11 am today, not long after the 'meltdown'.
Trying to remember when I had the last meltdown,I flicked through my diary and worked out that it was round the time of the full moon two months ago. Admittedly I am someone who is sensitive and suffers from stress, but why is it that things are so much worse for me around full moon? I am going to continue to track this to see if there really is a pattern.

I believe that many women have their periods about the same time around the full moon. Some one told me this years agao and now if most of the time when I have my period the moon will be coming up to full. I also have problems sleeping when its a full moon.

the moon has a magnetic energy that affects everything from ocean tides to women's menstral cycles. this is fact. let's take it a step further. the firing of neurons in the brain is an example of electrical activity. electricity is affected by magnetic energy. this is basic science. at the very least there is a scientific possiblity of a correlation between the phases of the moon and reactions in the brain. the author is all about scientific data, how did she not address this at all.

I would have to say i am a lunatic, i love the moon,
I have Bipolar so my mood seem to always change, but is like the moon i think the moon rotates around the Earth Pulling a
different force upon us related to it position.

when i look at the full moon i feel lighter and not so weighted down, there are many other as to the lunatic theories, it make people change, for the better if i say.

it is the only way of truly assessing our basic human instincts.

let me ask you a question, you must answer it, what do you think the world would be like without the moon?

how would it affect people? if there where any people at all? could it be that the whole of the existence of life is
is meanly the spoon mixing the icing of earth?

ill give you another thing to think about, if the moon has the power to pick up a massive chunk of ocean to create the tides, does that not prove of the moons power.

the people feel the energy of the moon, and to a person who truly explores her nature it can become somewhat like a drug, now we all now that when you take marijuana it is not you, it is a different version of you, a different state of mind. the moon does the same thing, the moon is a drug, ask any lunatic,

not I'm not sure but it does sound plausible that the Term Lunatic Is related to a tick that feeds blood.

Luna is the power, and the ticks will feast from this power?
are you not hungry for the moons power it casts upon you?
if you are then you are a lunatic.

people do not always realize of this change, as most have blocked out for more important thing, such as, driving to work, visiting the family and shopping what ever you would like to name it, but the ones who understand this change
are the ones having all the fun. HA HA HA.

now this it not the peoples fault, but the government know that of the moons power, why do you think they travel to the moon.

why do you think they sell parts of the moon to the people with all the money?

ill let you be the judge of that.

but i fear that the worst could be coming soon.

please use the power of the moon to your advantage it is a gift form her to you, use it while you can, for whatever reasons you please, i worship the moon. do you?

Thank you for learning.

I am very attracted to the full moon, to the point where it was almost dangerous. About a year ago I sold my car for financial reasons. But while i was still driving there were several months over a period of about 10 years where, driving down the road on a full moon night, I'd have a tough time keeping my eyes on the road - instead of gazing intently at the moon. I used to be afraid I'd lose control of my car. Last night, 12/31/09, there was a full moon and I went into meditation early in the evening like I've done fairly steadily for the better part of the past 12 years. It was a very powerful and meaningful meditation. (Used to meditate during new and full moons, but the full moon occasions were so much more powerful, I stopped meditating when the moon was new. Didn't find out until just a few minutes ago today, 1/1/10, that last night was a Blue Moon. Several years ago I was in meditation during both Blue Moons that year - which is somewhat of a rare occasion. Once I stayed in the meditative state for more than 2 hours - even taking a bathroom break - and still not coming out of the state. On the other Blue Moon occasion that year, while meditating, I nearly levitated. It was kind of scary, but still a very thrilling experience. A friend of mine has had a near-levitation experience also. I'm glad that I found this website because it's always nice to hear the experiences of "like spirits", and very validating.

During full moon I observed myself lazy and uncontrollable and my blood pressure goes up.even without knowing the day I feel weird and I can tell full moon is near. My medicine can not controlled blood pressure during that 3 days.

thanks

I am Attracted to the full moon. when i see the full moon its like i go into a trace, it like hypnotizes me or something an when i look at it i cant stop gazing at it. im drawn to the full moon an it feels as if theirs a fourse pulling me toward the moon

My mother was a psychiatric nurse in a mental hospital in the UK prior to the second world war. (that's prior to 1939 from the European prospective).

Most of the hospitals at that time had been built in the Victorian era and had bars on /over the windows.
It was mandatory at that time, before the war, that the barred windows had to be
locked in the week prior to the full moon, (standing orders so to speak)

It was only after the war when sedating drugs were available that the orders to
secure the widow bars at this time was relinquished

there is a theory of astrology, that planetary events can effect different characteristics of things.

even though science has been unable to confirm that the full moon has effect on humans every month for 5 days my 5 yr old son's behaviour changes and this is always when there is a full moon, he goes completly off the planet very uncontrollable and hystrical and then after the 5 days ( 2 days before the full moon the full moon nite and 2 days after) he's back to normal so i strongly belive that the full moon does have effects on humans
