And how it's all normal and you are not alone.
00:00:16.245 --> 00:00:35.795
In today's episode, we're going to explore the idea about the phases of the moon, Mercury in retrograde, the Northern lights, solar flares, all these mystical sun and moon things, and how they can have an impact on human emotions, behavior, and your mental health.
00:00:36.575 --> 00:00:38.465

com.
00:00:41.939 --> 00:00:42.570
So let's
00:00:42.579 --> 00:00:47.119
jump into our have you ever had these thoughts questions.
00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:51.399
Does the moon really affect our mental health?
00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:57.539
Can the phases of the moon impact sleep patterns and our mental health?
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.929
Is there a scientific basis for the moon's effect on human behavior?
00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:07.230
How do solar flares affect our mental health or our daily life?
00:01:08.129 --> 00:01:09.329
Can I manage?
00:01:09.466 --> 00:01:10.566
Sorry, can I manage?
00:01:10.596 --> 00:01:11.367
No, I can't manage.
00:01:12.296 --> 00:01:12.917
No, we can't.
00:01:12.917 --> 00:01:13.397
We're a hot
00:01:13.397 --> 00:01:13.486
mess.
00:01:13.787 --> 00:01:14.167
today.
00:01:14.746 --> 00:01:23.436
How can I manage any negative effects I perceive during certain moon phases or solar flare phases or the northern light
00:01:23.477 --> 00:01:24.177
issues?
00:01:24.543 --> 00:01:35.072
Do certain moon phases, like when people say mercury is in retrograde, have a more pronounced effect on you with your mental health than other phases.
00:01:35.658 --> 00:01:41.924
Why might some people be more sensitive to these different astro, is it astrological?
00:01:41.924 --> 00:01:42.605
Geometric.
00:01:42.605 --> 00:01:45.295
Geometric! What are they called out there?
00:01:45.504 --> 00:01:46.174
I don't know!
00:01:46.575 --> 00:01:47.855
Wait, wait, wait, hold on, hold on.
00:01:48.135 --> 00:01:51.905
Geomagnetic Disturbances! Geomagnetic disturbances.
00:01:51.905 --> 00:01:53.715
Disturbances out there.
00:01:54.977 --> 00:02:01.608
can the phase of the moon or the solar flares really exacerbate certain mental health conditions?
00:02:02.295 --> 00:02:08.485
are there any mindfulness or wellness practices that we can use during these phases to help us?
00:02:08.931 --> 00:02:10.592
So let's jump into that.
00:02:11.051 --> 00:02:19.201
So the idea that phases of the moon or that geomagnetic disturbances can really affect your mental health.
00:02:19.201 --> 00:02:19.481
Okay.
00:02:19.662 --> 00:02:26.905
dates back centuries, and it's deeply rooted in folklore, mythology, and cultural beliefs.
00:02:27.495 --> 00:02:38.235
But so much of our history is, and I feel like in storytelling, sometimes we find the truth in that, and that leads us to research and find deeper answers.
00:02:38.632 --> 00:02:45.147
In college I took a class on the Bible, the New Testament of the Bible as a history.
00:02:45.177 --> 00:02:46.858
It was only history.
00:02:47.157 --> 00:02:51.627
And it was a really interesting class to go through because he said, we're not talking about religion.
00:02:52.087 --> 00:02:53.728
We're just doing historical
00:02:53.737 --> 00:02:54.087
facts,
00:02:54.098 --> 00:02:56.997
just history based upon this.
00:02:57.157 --> 00:02:58.337
And he said, I'll never tell you
00:02:58.707 --> 00:02:59.768
what my beliefs are.
00:02:59.948 --> 00:03:01.008
That's so interesting.
00:03:01.348 --> 00:03:13.622
Because I feel like a lot of times we interject our own beliefs and ideology about historical documents it's interesting to see how you can find.
00:03:13.622 --> 00:03:13.692
Yeah.
00:03:14.062 --> 00:03:16.431
Truth and history and basis and not
00:03:16.972 --> 00:03:18.991
let's look at it from a mental health perspective.
00:03:19.382 --> 00:03:23.572
Some people feel that they are affected by this.
00:03:23.854 --> 00:03:28.705
The energy levels, sleep patterns, everything changes when all of this is going on.
00:03:29.245 --> 00:03:30.824
I know when it's a windy day.
00:03:31.044 --> 00:03:33.224
That is going to be a shitshow in therapy.
00:03:33.495 --> 00:03:35.405
I don't know what it is about windy days
00:03:35.675 --> 00:03:39.314
there's just some correlation that you've noticed, like a pattern.
00:03:39.814 --> 00:03:56.568
And that's why when we're approaching this topic and talking about it, we really want to do it with an open mind and kind of a sense of curiosity because everybody has different beliefs around this, but we're really delving into the scientific side of it and how it affects us.
00:03:56.764 --> 00:04:04.634
as individuals, especially as women with mental health conditions, even though it varies so much across different cultures and religions.
00:04:05.233 --> 00:04:09.492
we have to be honest, both our homes, we've had the solar flares going on.
00:04:09.893 --> 00:04:12.937
the Northern lights, what last weekend we're out watching them.
00:04:13.257 --> 00:04:14.206
Solar flares.
00:04:14.306 --> 00:04:15.437
the last two days.
00:04:15.456 --> 00:04:20.672
And Both our houses to this morning have been complete shitshows.
00:04:20.672 --> 00:04:21.312
Shitstorm.
00:04:21.312 --> 00:04:21.831
Shitstorm, yes.
00:04:22.531 --> 00:04:22.812
Literally.
00:04:22.812 --> 00:04:24.422
I left, I left mine coming over
00:04:24.422 --> 00:04:26.661
to Randy's and I was like, ooh, it's here too.
00:04:26.701 --> 00:04:34.752
And then she walked into my home office and it was chaos ruling and Jess was like, my anxiety is so high and I don't know why.
00:04:34.762 --> 00:04:35.632
And I'm like, I don't know.
00:04:35.692 --> 00:04:37.641
I don't know what's happening either.
00:04:37.641 --> 00:04:40.271
And then we were already planning on talking about this.
00:04:40.291 --> 00:04:47.384
And then we were just correlating more information and scientific studies about how this really does affect us.
00:04:47.404 --> 00:04:54.555
And there have been a lot of scientific studies lately because people are so interested in this and they're seeing that.
00:04:54.762 --> 00:05:07.372
About 30 percent of people can be affected by these shifts and these geometric disturbances, especially if you already have mental health issues or you already have a physical illness.
00:05:07.773 --> 00:05:14.343
even when you're stressed, just stressed at work or in traffic, yeah, it can impact you even more.
00:05:14.343 --> 00:05:20.107
So what are some things that we can do to counteract those stressful peaks that are happening?
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:29.529
Part of it is getting some good coping skills because obviously we're finding that it does affect our sleep It affects our circadian rhythms,
00:05:29.642 --> 00:05:34.353
let's pause a minute and explain a little bit if people don't understand what circadian rhythms are.
00:05:34.362 --> 00:05:34.612
Sorry.
00:05:34.612 --> 00:05:34.903
Sorry.
00:05:34.903 --> 00:05:41.833
Yeah Yeah Circadian rhythms are the sleep patterns that we have as we go into sleep into sleep.
00:05:42.252 --> 00:05:44.833
We don't just go and do one level of sleep.
00:05:45.403 --> 00:05:46.322
We have different levels.
00:05:46.432 --> 00:05:48.242
There's like light deep.
00:05:48.382 --> 00:05:51.192
they call it REM sleep when you're really in deep sleep.
00:05:51.192 --> 00:05:53.502
So yeah, it affects your whole sleep
00:05:53.502 --> 00:05:53.913
rhythm.
00:05:54.533 --> 00:05:55.413
And so that's what it is.
00:05:55.413 --> 00:05:56.242
It's a rhythm.
00:05:56.540 --> 00:06:12.447
A lot of people are finding that if we can incorporate mindfulness and really good, here's this word again, guys, self care practices we can do meditation, we can do yoga spending more time in nature, grounding yourself in nature.
00:06:12.536 --> 00:06:19.259
Randy and I like to go and walk on the grass barefoot, actually barefoot to connect with nature.
00:06:19.319 --> 00:06:21.279
It just helps you pause and take a breath.
00:06:22.072 --> 00:06:34.685
really trying to find some balance as to what is going on and understand that during these times, you might be somebody who is affected by the wind or by solar flares or by
00:06:34.704 --> 00:06:35.735
the northern lights.
00:06:35.814 --> 00:06:36.204
Yeah.
00:06:36.235 --> 00:06:45.911
Another scientific study I was reading said too that it can also affect your nervous system, your heart rate, your blood pressure, and it also reduces.
00:06:46.127 --> 00:06:52.666
Cognitive function, which I was like, Oh my gosh, this is so bad for Jess and I, because we're neurodivergent.
00:06:52.927 --> 00:06:54.177
We're ADHDers.
00:06:54.687 --> 00:06:58.516
so we already have low executive function.
00:06:59.137 --> 00:07:05.437
So if you feel like your thoughts are scattered and all over the place, it does impact that.
00:07:05.596 --> 00:07:12.156
And that could be why my hallway is a hot mess right now because everything is everywhere and I can't get my brain to focus.
00:07:12.317 --> 00:07:12.666
Yeah.
00:07:12.927 --> 00:07:13.976
It also causes.
00:07:14.211 --> 00:07:17.322
Social behavior triggers like social unrest.
00:07:17.451 --> 00:07:19.831
And we've been noticing that too in social media.
00:07:19.831 --> 00:07:22.855
We've seen a lot of, colleges having protests.
00:07:22.855 --> 00:07:23.194
Yes.
00:07:23.435 --> 00:07:26.175
there's a whole movement right now to like block celebrities.
00:07:26.185 --> 00:07:37.817
So people are feeling the need to go to battle because when there are these disturbances, whether it's you feel like the moon is pulling you one way or another, or there's a flare in the sky.
00:07:37.817 --> 00:07:38.127
Okay.
00:07:38.324 --> 00:07:43.384
There is increased anxiety, and that leads to impulsive behavior as well.
00:07:43.512 --> 00:07:49.351
we already have issues with anxiety and impulsive behavior, so oh my gosh, so now it's going to be even worse.
00:07:49.899 --> 00:07:51.528
Does the moon really
00:07:51.538 --> 00:07:53.228
affect our mental health?
00:07:53.461 --> 00:07:54.141
Absolutely.
00:07:54.180 --> 00:07:56.050
I'm going to go with absolutely.
00:07:56.091 --> 00:08:04.401
We're finding that so many people report more tense and emotionally heightened moods around a full moon.
00:08:04.896 --> 00:08:09.834
also when you look at some of the evidence of oh, it happens on a full moon.
00:08:10.004 --> 00:08:18.985
If you talk to law enforcement, they'll say that more people are out on full moons because you can see more, so people get into more trouble as well.
00:08:19.365 --> 00:08:30.033
I think even if there isn't hardcore statistical scientific basis for some of this stuff, I feel like what we believe, Can really manifest for us.
00:08:30.033 --> 00:08:37.649
So if we really feel it's the moon or Mercury is in a retrograde or something is happening, it can come to fruition.
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:41.360
I don't think we can discount our Intuition.
00:08:41.419 --> 00:08:41.980
Intuition.
00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:42.179
Yes.
00:08:42.179 --> 00:08:43.139
on how we're feeling.
00:08:43.149 --> 00:08:49.179
It's just a way to listen in to our bodies and our emotions and being self aware about it.
00:08:49.429 --> 00:08:50.679
Just listen to those cues.
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.389
Randy, can the phases of the moon impact sleep patterns?
00:08:54.529 --> 00:08:55.049
Yes.
00:08:55.059 --> 00:09:08.745
So We are seeing, especially in the studies that we have read, that a lot of people have sleep quality decrease during different phases of the moon or the solar flares or when the northern lights just happened.
00:09:09.085 --> 00:09:12.739
poor sleep impacts your mental health.
00:09:12.759 --> 00:09:15.038
It impacts your cognitive function.
00:09:15.038 --> 00:09:19.749
It impacts your ability to think straight so that makes us more irritable.
00:09:19.803 --> 00:09:21.744
It makes us have higher anxiety.
00:09:22.004 --> 00:09:24.586
It makes us more susceptible to depression.
00:09:24.803 --> 00:09:34.846
it's really important to, again, like we said, take those into consideration and take care of yourself even more so during these flare ups that are happening.
00:09:34.876 --> 00:09:40.277
Well, that's like when we do the time change, every time we do a time change, can we be done with that?
00:09:40.514 --> 00:09:44.923
There's an increase in heart attacks because we are not getting the sleep.
00:09:44.933 --> 00:09:49.903
And again, we're tired, we're cranky, we're trying to adjust to a different sleep schedule.
00:09:49.976 --> 00:09:53.336
it's just really interesting that, yeah, that does affect us.
00:09:53.486 --> 00:09:54.476
Yeah, it does.
00:09:54.937 --> 00:10:01.960
is there any type of scientific basis that the moon or these solar flares really affect our human behavior?
00:10:02.404 --> 00:10:04.845
I think it's still really divided.
00:10:05.144 --> 00:10:09.054
Some of the people will say yes, some of them say, no, there's not enough evidence.
00:10:09.065 --> 00:10:12.934
Some of them say totally could be a lot of studies.
00:10:12.985 --> 00:10:22.735
Some studies do suggest that there is an influence again, because it affects our sleep quality and some of them are saying, no, there is no direct correlation.
00:10:22.745 --> 00:10:26.688
And so it's hard when everybody is saying, this is what must be going on.
00:10:26.889 --> 00:10:27.219
then other
00:10:27.219 --> 00:10:27.958
people are saying,
00:10:27.969 --> 00:10:28.938
no, it's not.
00:10:28.948 --> 00:10:32.654
Well, there's there should always be counter arguments for things.
00:10:32.705 --> 00:10:35.504
That is what leads us to more understanding.
00:10:35.764 --> 00:10:38.875
But I don't think that we can discount that.
00:10:38.938 --> 00:10:44.871
There's also these physical disruptions that happen, especially with solar flares, satellites go down.
00:10:44.892 --> 00:10:53.028
Cell phones fail, there's a lack of that communication I feel like when those things go down, it can also impact mental health.
00:10:53.129 --> 00:10:53.589
Oh, yeah.
00:10:53.639 --> 00:10:57.859
ask my teenager, if she can't get on her phone, oh my goodness, what happens?
00:10:58.298 --> 00:11:07.667
That's always the threats it could be that maybe the influence on all of these is really more Psychological well culturally influenced like what you were talking about
00:11:07.706 --> 00:11:24.869
and like you were saying with the time changes it affects our daily routine and when it's unknown and we're thrown off that just leads to more anxiety and more worry and you get in this cycle of oh crap, and you're led down a negative rabbit hole.
00:11:24.879 --> 00:11:31.695
So maybe it's the disruption of those things influencing just our life as we know it in that moment.
00:11:31.828 --> 00:11:33.688
so it throws us off of our game.
00:11:33.798 --> 00:11:34.349
Think about it.
00:11:34.359 --> 00:11:39.259
I don't know about your dogs, but my dogs want to know why they're not being fed at what they think is five o'clock.
00:11:39.629 --> 00:11:41.198
And we're like, sorry guys, it's only four.
00:11:41.479 --> 00:11:43.239
And they're like, no, no, it should be five.
00:11:43.402 --> 00:11:44.011
yeah.
00:11:44.261 --> 00:11:44.351
just their
00:11:44.351 --> 00:11:45.162
internal clock.
00:11:45.162 --> 00:11:46.272
And we have that too.
00:11:46.272 --> 00:11:49.422
We just don't listen to it a lot because we're so busy.
00:11:49.422 --> 00:11:50.172
We're so busy.
00:11:50.172 --> 00:11:50.442
Yeah.
00:11:50.442 --> 00:11:51.802
we have to do everything else.
00:11:51.825 --> 00:11:58.938
so maybe that's also part of it too, is that when we have these kinds of shifts, it messes with our internal clock as well.
00:11:59.438 --> 00:11:59.859
Okay.
00:12:00.058 --> 00:12:08.178
how can we kind of manage these negative effects that we are either perceiving or actually happening during these different disturbances?
00:12:08.489 --> 00:12:13.509
I think the first thing is to acknowledge how you're feeling without any kind of judgment.
00:12:13.692 --> 00:12:14.951
No outside influence.
00:12:15.501 --> 00:12:21.532
Yeah, just notice the patterns that you have and really adjust that self care routine.
00:12:21.589 --> 00:12:35.496
If you know that when there's going to be a full moon or there's a solar eclipse or whatever it is really start looking at incorporating mindfulness or meditation or journaling, whatever it is that you do to process your emotions.
00:12:35.744 --> 00:12:39.274
Go to a friend's house and maybe her house won't also be the shit show.
00:12:39.703 --> 00:12:41.344
That's why I just ran over here today.
00:12:41.344 --> 00:12:42.573
I'm going to Randy's, bye.
00:12:43.104 --> 00:12:46.433
Or maybe it will be a shit show and you're going to go, Oh, I feel so much
00:12:46.573 --> 00:12:47.553
better about myself.
00:12:47.673 --> 00:12:48.693
There's something in the
00:12:48.734 --> 00:12:48.754
air.
00:12:48.754 --> 00:12:50.643
Well,
00:12:50.644 --> 00:13:22.826
and I feel like it's important you mentioned journaling, but jotting down when there are these Seasons that you feel like there is a shift and noting that so you can go back and compare when this stuff happens if you do notice a pattern or a cycle so you don't feel like oh it's just this happening but you actually then have a truth like this really does affect me or it's the weather or it's the sun or it's the gray skies then you have concrete evidence for yourself it doesn't matter what science says when it comes down to it it's like how do you feel about it
00:13:23.027 --> 00:13:29.220
And then if there are issues, you can take it to your therapist or doctor and say, Hey, this is really affecting me.
00:13:29.230 --> 00:13:34.269
What can I do if you need more help than just the additional self care?
00:13:34.429 --> 00:13:35.850
I tell people do that all the time.
00:13:35.850 --> 00:13:42.080
Randy's calendar, put it in your calendar so you know when these are happening and you can pay attention.
00:13:42.330 --> 00:13:44.509
Also what is going on that day?
00:13:44.663 --> 00:13:46.053
What affected your mood?
00:13:46.183 --> 00:13:46.433
Yeah,
00:13:46.433 --> 00:13:48.994
I love it because my Apple Watch has a mindfulness thing.
00:13:48.994 --> 00:13:52.004
So it pops up and it says, how are you feeling?
00:13:52.100 --> 00:13:53.950
And then why are you feeling that way?
00:13:53.950 --> 00:13:55.389
And you can like, just check off.
00:13:55.534 --> 00:14:05.528
Why you're feeling that way or what's happening and you can add in notes if you want to this is why it's making me anxious or this is why I'm happy and then you can go back and see the pattern.
00:14:05.548 --> 00:14:09.784
So I love that because it just be like, Hey have you recorded your mood today or your feelings?
00:14:09.784 --> 00:14:10.495
And I'm like, Nope.
00:14:10.514 --> 00:14:11.534
Okay, you need to do that.
00:14:11.534 --> 00:14:21.422
Because then I can see Oh I'm on my period or I'm stressed out because of my kids or finances or whatever it is then I don't feel so out of control with the world.
00:14:21.756 --> 00:14:23.486
What's happening inside my body.
00:14:23.767 --> 00:14:24.307
I like that.
00:14:24.346 --> 00:14:25.716
That's I have, I read you that too.
00:14:25.996 --> 00:14:33.984
Randy, why might some people be more sensitive to these solar flares and the different geometric
00:14:34.124 --> 00:14:34.214
things.
00:14:36.033 --> 00:14:36.264
Yeah.
00:14:36.744 --> 00:14:39.964
So there can be so many factors that play into this.
00:14:39.984 --> 00:14:40.423
It can be.
00:14:40.783 --> 00:14:41.874
Psychological.
00:14:41.903 --> 00:14:44.224
It can be physiological, like your body.
00:14:44.326 --> 00:14:45.787
It could be cultural.
00:14:45.986 --> 00:14:48.187
He might be higher stress at work.
00:14:48.399 --> 00:14:52.450
also, some people just might be more in tune with their environment.
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:54.309
So they might notice shifts.
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:58.307
Then it throws off your daily routine or your sleep patterns.
00:14:58.620 --> 00:15:06.350
then when all that is shuffled, it's harder to be more resilient with things and stressors that are hitting you.
00:15:06.659 --> 00:15:23.956
Yes, I feel like that all impacts with lunar cycles, hormonal cycles your mental health cycle but especially elderly people, or if you're ill, or if you're grieving, if you have other stressors on top of these things already happening, it's going to impact you even more.
00:15:23.956 --> 00:15:27.777
You might notice the shift even more so than others around you.
00:15:28.192 --> 00:15:34.812
you said people about who are more in tune, ADHD typically is more in tune.
00:15:35.111 --> 00:15:39.211
Often I would always say before I was diagnosed that I was an empath.
00:15:39.412 --> 00:15:40.192
Yes.
00:15:40.241 --> 00:15:44.701
And I was, or I was a highly sensitive person as they called it in the 90s.
00:15:45.192 --> 00:15:47.658
And I just thought you're so sensitive, Randy.
00:15:47.658 --> 00:15:50.413
Like people would say all the time.
00:15:50.413 --> 00:15:50.807
And.
00:15:51.116 --> 00:16:02.246
Probably why I'm a therapist, but I was like, yeah, we are just very in touch with our feelings, our surroundings and how other people give off their energy.
00:16:02.407 --> 00:16:05.716
We can read the room and read others very easily.
00:16:05.716 --> 00:16:08.157
I feel more so than other people.
00:16:08.351 --> 00:16:12.922
Yeah, we have to look at the cues as best we can because we miss so many other ones.
00:16:12.932 --> 00:16:13.261
Yeah, we're
00:16:13.261 --> 00:16:14.912
not good at reading social cues.
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.589
00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:07.190
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:13.080
00:00:13.205 --> 00:00:15.974
00:00:16.245 --> 00:00:35.795
00:00:36.575 --> 00:00:38.465
00:00:38.770 --> 00:00:40.750
00:00:40.780 --> 00:00:41.310
00:00:41.939 --> 00:00:42.570
00:00:42.579 --> 00:00:47.119
00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:51.399
00:00:51.890 --> 00:00:57.539
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:01.929
00:01:02.270 --> 00:01:07.230
00:01:08.129 --> 00:01:09.329
00:01:09.466 --> 00:01:10.566
00:01:10.596 --> 00:01:11.367
00:01:12.296 --> 00:01:12.917
00:01:12.917 --> 00:01:13.397
00:01:13.397 --> 00:01:13.486
00:01:13.787 --> 00:01:14.167
00:01:14.746 --> 00:01:23.436
00:01:23.477 --> 00:01:24.177
00:01:24.543 --> 00:01:35.072
00:01:35.658 --> 00:01:41.924
00:01:41.924 --> 00:01:42.605
00:01:42.605 --> 00:01:45.295
00:01:45.504 --> 00:01:46.174
00:01:46.575 --> 00:01:47.855

00:02:02.295 --> 00:02:08.485
00:02:08.931 --> 00:02:10.592
00:02:11.051 --> 00:02:19.201
00:02:19.201 --> 00:02:19.481
00:02:19.662 --> 00:02:26.905
00:02:27.495 --> 00:02:38.235
00:02:38.632 --> 00:02:45.147

00:03:19.382 --> 00:03:23.572
00:03:23.854 --> 00:03:28.705
