New moon and full moon days are called "purification days," and it is especially good to perform purification on purification days.
We will explain how to purify on the new and full moons, the relationship between the moon and the zodiac signs, and recommended self-care on the monthly purification days.
What is purification?
What do you think of when you hear the word "purification"?
Since there is a similar word for "cleaning" in air purifiers and other similar devices, I think it is easy to associate the word with "cleaning something dirty".
In thinking about purification, it is important to pay attention to what "dirty things" are....
In general, the meaning of "unclean" includes dirty, filthy, bringing sin or misfortune, and evil.
These meanings indicate that "unclean" includes not only tangible things such as air, space, and clothing, but also the body, mind, emotions, and events.
For example, a body that has been continuously inactive, negative emotions such as anger and sadness, inefficient work, and events and habits that hurt others.
Purification means to cleanse or remove all kinds of unclean things.
In English, it is called purification. The noun of the verb purify, which comes from pure, meaning pure, is purification, or purification.
Purification has the meaning of restoring something unclean to its pure state, to return it to its original state.
With this in mind, it may be easier to imagine what purification is.

New moon is the recommended day for purification.
Ideally, we should always keep our surroundings clean by purifying our clothes, room, air, etc. when we notice dirt.
It is easy to notice visible dirt on clothes, dishes, and clutter in the room, but it is difficult to notice dirt in the body and mind unless it accumulates and surfaces as a disorder.
However, if possible, we would like to deal with them before they surface.
In such cases, it is recommended to have a cleansing habit.
By regularly setting aside a day to become aware of subtle changes that you may not be aware of, it becomes easier to maintain a healthy body and mind.
A suitable cycle for purification is the cycle of the phases of the moon.
The moon as seen from the earth is the part of the moon that is illuminated by the sun.
Since the moon revolves around the earth, its visibility changes depending on the day.
The new moon is when the reflection of the sun's light is not visible from the earth, and the full moon is when the reflection of the sun's light is most visible.
The new moon and full moon occur once a month. When we go from new moon to full moon, energy tends to accumulate more and more. We are also naturally influenced by the moon and are in the mode of accumulating both positive and negative energy.
On the other hand, when we go from the full moon to the new moon, the accumulated energy is released rapidly. This timing is said to be the best for purification. Therefore, using the full moon as a starting point for purification, carefully observe the things you are holding on to.
If there are things or energies that you do not need to continue to hold onto, gradually let go of them with the help of the power of the full moon to the new moon.
Then, at the new moon, we check to see if we have let go of what we can let go of.
If there are still some things left, we can practice tidying, decluttering, breathing, meditation, and purification with white sage or power stones.
In reality, however, it is difficult to always be aware of letting go of unwanted energy during the period from the full moon to the new moon.
Therefore, we recommend that you first become aware of the new moon as a purification day and get into the habit of organizing your surroundings and your mind at the timing of the new moon.
Advantages of Purification
A smartphone with full capacity cannot store new data.
Also, a smartphone with little free space tends to operate sluggishly.
We are like smartphones: we cannot take in an infinite amount of energy, and too much energy makes us run sluggishly.
Regular cleansing creates free space in our bodies and minds to help us try new things and live lightly. The same is true for space.
A space filled with negative energy will not let in positive energy either, like a phone full of data.
Even if it is full of positive energy, if there is no empty space, new energy cannot be brought in.
Cleansing gives you more room for yourself and your space.
Not only does it make it easier to try new things, it also makes it easier to generate new ideas and ways of thinking.
Purification leads to freeing oneself from unconscious stereotypes and prejudices of "what it should be like to be 00.
Freeing yourself from stereotypes has a positive effect not only on yourself but also on your relationships.
It becomes easier to accept others, making it easier to get along with people you used to have a hard time with, for example.
Purification is also a recommended solution for those who feel suffocated in their relationships.
Space Purification
The easiest and easiest way to start is to purify your space.
Clean your space more carefully than usual and use purification products to purify your space.
Try doing things you don't do every day, such as dusting and waxing, organizing and decluttering your belongings, selecting bedding and carpets, and taking clothes to the cleaners that cannot be washed in a home washing machine to the dry cleaners.
Feng Shui also says that cleaning the entrance and water area is a good idea.
The entranceway is the entrance of chi and the water area is the exit of chi.
The key is to keep the entrance and exit of chi clean to prevent bad energy from accumulating.
As an added bonus to cleaning, purification products are useful for cleansing the space.
Once the room is cleaned, the entrance and the water area are cleaned, and the flow of chi is regulated, purifying the bad energy will help to get the bad energy out more quickly and bring in good energy more easily.
For space cleansing, we recommend aromas that promote purification, such as white sage or sandalwood.
White sage is an herb used by Native Americans for purification. It is also used in yoga and Ayurveda to purify a room.
Other examples include Tinsha, which purifies space with sound, singing balls, and crystal tuners.
The frequency of the moon, 210.42 Hz, is also said to be suitable for purifying space and oneself.
The sound of waves, stringed instruments, and pianos fall into this frequency.
Purification of the body
It is not only in space that energy stagnates. The inside of the body is also prone to energy stagnation, so it is important to purify it regularly.
First, carefully observe the state of your body.
Check the condition of your skin, eyes, nose, and mouth, the frequency of your bowel movements, and whether there are any places where you feel discomfort.
Next, reflect on your behavior up to that point.
What things happened around you: sleeping, eating, exercising, work, personal life?
We will explore the difference between days when you slept well and days when you did not, between days when you were tired and days when you were not tired, and the cause-and-effect relationship between your actions and how they affected the next day and the following days.
By reflecting on the state of your body and your actions, you will be able to find ways to improve.
We will incorporate purification according to your condition.
It is said that energy flow is easily improved if the intestinal environment is regulated through physting and improved diet, and if the circulation of blood is improved through moderate exercise such as yoga.
However, if the body is purified in the wrong way, it can be counterproductive.
If this is your first time to try fisting, we recommend that you do it with the support of a trusted professional.
Purification of the mind
It is also important to rest your mind on purification days.
Even if you do not feel tired, having a peaceful time to yourself will refresh your mind and sharpen your senses, making it easier to feel new energy.
Meditation and breathing exercises are examples of methods for purifying the mind.
Both of these methods focus on the "now" without being preoccupied with past or future events or thoughts.
By concentrating on the "now," one is freed from the energy of the past, which leads to the purification of the mind.
A more simple way to purify the mind than meditation or breathing exercises is to go for a walk.
When taking a walk, choose a path with lots of nature and concentrate on the smell of the plants and trees, the sound of the wind, the singing of birds and insects, and the temperature outside on your skin.
You will also become aware of and comfortable with the pleasantness of the outside.
You can also purify your mind through a completely different approach than meditation or taking a walk.
It is expressive writing, or written disclosure, in which you put your feelings down on paper.
By writing down your thoughts and feelings, in other words, your invisible emotions, you can understand the cause of the discomfort you have been feeling in your mind, and you can look at yourself objectively.
It is said that 20 minutes of expressive writing every day is recommended, but it is also a good idea to start with 5 minutes on a cleansing day.
The habit of Expressive Writing is recommended as a way to purify the mind, as it helps cultivate emotional control.
However, since the night of the full moon tends to be full of energy, if you do Expressive Writing while holding negative feelings such as dissatisfaction or complaints, they will overflow and you will not be able to stop them.

What is New Moon?
A new moon is when the moon is not visible from the earth.
The fact that the moon is not visible means that the reflection of the sun's light is not visible.
In other words, the moon is between the earth and the sun, and when aligned, the order is earth, moon, and sun.
The new moon, also known as lunar phase 0, is a resetting of the moon's phases and a time of energy resetting.
It is an excellent time to take on new challenges, set goals, and make wishes.
The full moon tends to make us feel high and unbalanced, and accidents and incidents tend to increase, while the new moon tends to make us depressed, dazed, and sluggish.
This is the day of the New Moon when energy is gradually released from the energy-filled Full Moon.
In a way, this day can be said to be the final day of purification.
Therefore, it is recommended to take it easy and rest both body and mind on the new moon day.
It is said that the sound of a piano or stringed instrument, which has the same frequency as the moon, regulates the autonomic nervous system and promotes the purification of the body and mind.
Please try to relax by incorporating them into your rest on New Moon Day.
Purification recommended on New Moon day
On New Moon days, which are good for starting something new or setting goals, it is a good idea to purify emotions and habits that may be obstacles to starting it.
Compared to the full moon day, the new moon day is a time when we do not have so much excess energy, but there are invisible negative energies that we are not aware of.
Space cleansing is recommended when cleansing invisible energy.
Methods for space purification include: cooking white sage or sandalwood incense, sounding a crystal tuner, changing the air, tidying up the room, and cleaning window sashes and air conditioner filters that are not usually cleaned.
We are also easily influenced by the people we spend time with.
Therefore, be sure to tidy up not only your room and personal surroundings, but also shared spaces and the rooms of family members and partners, and try to create a space where both parties can feel comfortable.
In terms of skincare, nourishment is appropriate for the full moon, whereas peeling and scrubbing are suitable for the new moon, which is the resetting period.
It is said that this period is expected to remove unnecessary dead skin cells and dirt and reduce inflammation.
What to Avoid on the New Moon
Unlike the full moon, the new moon is a time of energy release. Some people may feel a sense of fatigue in the body and mind on the day of the new moon. Avoid active activities and stay calm.
Then, gradually build up energy toward the full moon.
What is a Full Moon?
A full moon is when the moon reflects the sun's rays and appears circular as seen from the earth.
The reflection of the sun's rays means that the moon is in the target position as seen from the earth.
When the Moon, the Earth, and the Sun are in a straight line, the Moon appears to be round as seen from the Earth.
When the earth is in a position between the moon and the sun, the earth receives energy from both the moon and the sun.
It has been scientifically proven that on full moon days, the gravitational pull causes a high tide phenomenon where the difference between high and low tides is the greatest.
Since the human body is made up of 60% to 75% water, it is not surprising that the human body is affected in some way on the full moon.
Although not scientifically proven, there is a theory that births, accidents, and incidents are more likely to occur on full moon days.
In addition, it has long been believed that the full moon has power, and many countries hold festivals on this day.
In Sri Lanka, where there is a large Buddhist population, temples offer scriptures for purification on the full moon day.
Recommended Purification on Full Moon Day
Energy is amplified in the process of going from the new moon to the full moon.
In other words, on a full moon day, we are in a state of full energy and can easily absorb things.
Then, energy is released in the process of going from the full moon to the new moon.
Therefore, it is said that the full moon is a time to actively take in necessary energy and let go of unnecessary energy.
This is a perfect day for self-care to release unwanted toxins while nourishing the skin with aromatherapy treatments using quality oils.
Also, as energy is released from the Full Moon to the New Moon, we should begin to be conscious of letting go of negative feelings toward ourselves and others, jealousy, stress that has built up due to holding back, and bad habits that we want to improve from the Full Moon day.
Furthermore, the full moon day is a time when the earth is sandwiched between the moon and the sun.
Power is sent from both the moon and the sun, which has a very strong cleansing energy.
Therefore, it is said that on the day of the full moon, you should purify yourself by bathing in the moonlight or by exposing your daily items to the moonlight.
Also, power stones, crystal tuners, singing balls, trains, and other items you use for purification absorb various energies instead, so it is good to purify them with the light of the full moon.
What to Avoid on Full Moon Days
The full moon is a day to reflect on what has happened to you and your life, rather than to make a wish. It is said that making a wish is not very effective. New moons are better for making wishes and trying new things.
Sun and Moon Signs
The birth month constellation is also used in general astrology. This constellation is called the solar zodiac.
It indicates which constellation the sun was located in on the day of birth.
It maintains the same constellation position for one month, and takes 12 months to circle the sun.
Lunar constellations are related to the position of the moon.
The moon stays in the same constellation for a couple of days as it circles the earth in one month. The wish that is easier to grant depends on which constellation the new moon coincides with.
Tips for making a wish
There are some tips to make it easier to make a wish on the day of the new moon. One of them is to know your moon sign, but there are five other things to keep in mind.
1. always write your wish on a piece of paper
(2) Write your wish in a definitive manner that gives a sense of intent (not "I want to be" but "I will be").
(3) Write your wish within 48 hours of the new moon.
4. make no more than 10 wishes
(5) Avoid void time.
Void time is the magic hour when the moon is said to lose its potency.
This is a time when the moon does not form a specific angle with any of the planets, and the energy of the sun and planets does not reach the earth.
Since void time is a time when no energy is reaching the earth, it is said that making a wish does not make much sense.
New is the key word for Aries, the first of the 12 signs of the zodiac.
It is a good time to write a wish for something you have never done before or something you would like to accomplish in the future.
Aries is also associated with the head, nose, eyes, and brain. It is a good idea to take care of these parts of the body on the day of the Aries new moon.
