Why Moon Water
Let Moonwater Elixirs help you to intentionally improve your life!
There is no doubt in my mind that if the moon has the power to pull the tides, surely it must affect us. Our bodies are made mostly of water, and just as the phases of the moon affect the waters of the world, they can also affect the waves of our own emotional seas.
The Moon is the closest planetary body to us on Earth, and it has long been known to have an effect on everything from the tides, agriculture, fishing, hair growth, moods, energy levels, and much more. Many believe and have experienced firsthand that emotions and energy levels during different phases of the Moon run high… By paying attention to the phases of the moon throughout the entire lunar cycle, you can be more in rhythm with the natural world, and in sync with the divine nature of time.
The Sun, Moon, planets, and stars have provided us a reference for measuring the passage of time throughout history. All cultures before recorded history charted the heavenly skies to make sense out of their environment. Our own calendar months are roughly equal to the time it takes to go from one full Moon to the next.
For centuries, humans have followed the Moon's cycles to determine when to plant and harvest crops; planting during a particular lunar cycle determines what the crop will yield, and often how much it will yield. The Farmer's Almanac publishes a Lunar Planting Calendar as well as a Fishing Calendar each year. which highlights the ideal times for both activities. All of our activities, whether for work, rest or play were in harmony with the flow of "Mother Nature," the changing of seasons, the rising and setting of the Sun and Moon and the phases the Moon passed through in a month.
The early Native Americans did not record time by using the months of the calendar we use today. Many tribes kept track of time by observing the seasons and lunar months, although there was much variability. Many tribes named the full Moons based on a description relating to a particular activity/event that usually occurred during that time in their location. The full Moon names for 2017 are:

Utilizing this water and its many benefits will also help you adapt to seasonal changes as well as to the energy shifts that are taking place.
