Using the moon to unstress

Photo by up_nights_19

For many centuries now the moon has been known for its mystical powers, and its effects on humans.
The moon also affects the tides causing them to ebb, and flow due to the gravitation pull that it exerts upon the Earth.

Police, hospitals, and paramedics also see a spike in activity during the full lunar phase. But did you know that the moon is also a fantastic remedy for stress?
We all remember those summer nights when the crickets would chirp while we were out chasing firefly's and each other around the yard.
Life seemed almost as endless as those summers, and before we knew it we were now adults supervising our own children as they gallivanted around the yard, playing the very same games that we had played decades before.
One of the most powerful tranquilizers that I have discovered to date has nothing to do with medicine, or at least the chemical kind. This medicine is all natural and comes with no adverse side effects or cost, and all it takes is 30 minutes of your time.
A long walk under a full moon after dinner for me has no competition when it comes to unstressing myself.
Whether winter or summer, I find the time to take long walks after my work, and dinner while gazing at the full moon, and clearing out the cobwebs.
Many famous poets have found their inspiration this way, and I can think of no better cure for the mild attention deficit disorder that we acquire throughout the day whether it be by the news, media commercials, or the job.

Try it once during the next full moon, and I can guarantee you that you ll be hooked. Of course this only works if you don't find yourself dodging traffic, or shielding your ears from the blaring of automobile horns, so take that stroll as far away from the hustle and bustle of the city as you possibly can.
