What is it about the full moon that causes behavior changes, or does it?

lol You seem to be the only one that wasn't hit with the crazies from this moon. Everyone else is just now calming down from it. I was ill, so I can't judge it this time. I know everyone else has been rattled to their core by it. I've never seen anything like it. The last full moon we had that was this close, just a couple of months ago, left everyone feeling depressed the next day. I had to explain, you aren't depressed. Your bodies got an upgrade to handle higher energies. Which is true. I really expected another upgrade of some kind with this moon. But, it was harsh and jarring for most. I'm waiting until I feel better to try and sort this out.

Usually I feel very much more in tune but this last full Moon was rough, I still feel its effects.

Not everyone can accept/deal with the increases in abilities...?

I totally agree with the fact that ER's are much more busy during full moon time!! Even more babies seem to be coming through the emergency room to be born. There has been a great debate about that for years and years and years. Many people believe that even though the moon has an affect on the tide, there is no proof saying that it affects people. Some will tell you it's just because more people are out and about because of the extra light. Wouldn't it be great if somebody who could get paid to do the research to study a couple hundred different emergency rooms on a regular basis? Putting the reports together, and seeing there is something to it? If I could pay my bills, I'd volunteer. I think it would be interesting. (((smile))) As for scripture, they had "new moon festivals," for which I haven't studied as of yet. But the Lord is clear on not worshiping the sun, stars or moon. Hope this helps! God bless! Deuteronomy 4:19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven. http://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=moon&x=0&y=0

I heard that before about hospitals, but I've always found the full moon to be a positive thing....as marking a new beginning....and today is the beginning of a new week too, so for those like me who seem to take a while to settle back down after the holidays, now's when the new year begins for real. :^)

Friend, Moon is the planet that has tremendous effect on the MIND. Moon attracts water.This we can observe in full moon as well as New moon days. CHANDRAMAA MANASO JAATAH......is a sanskrit verse that explains the effect of moon on mind. So on Full moon days the power of Moon , the rays come or reach earth with much intensity.They have a special effect to attract and influence brain that floats in water ,cerebro spinal fluid. So on that specific days, the Lunatics or insane persons behave erratically..it is observed by all. Similarly good thoughts will be sharp and creative. Pray to Moon for artistic skills.

I am just here to give you a STAR, for your MOON question! ;-) I had nothing to add after all these wonderful answers above me! Much Love to you sister Phae! :-D

. Answer is. . .water is effected by full moon. Full moon has "gravitational pull" of some sort that effects masses of water. People are a high percentage of water. Thus the full moon "stirs" them in "odd" way and brings out the "crazy" behavior. Pregnant women are more likely to go in to labor due to affects of full moon on the amniotic fluids. The full moon also affects the tides of the ocean. All these facts are noticed by hospitals, police, people in general and also have been scientifically studied and verified to be true phenomenon. Would be interesting study to determine if people behave less or more "crazy" based on if they're found to have higher or lower amount of water in their body. ...i.e. is person taller or shorter, large or small, overweight or lean? Is it found that persons who are physically more one way or the other behave more "crazy" than other persons? Just a thought. . . .You working in medical profession, especially the emergency room, maybe that's something you can take note of just for personal interest. .

I don't know but people have opined that it has something to do with the gravitational pull of the mood but this makes no sense to me. All I do know is that every time I find myself reflecting on myself I look up in the sky and see a full moon. Perhaps it isn't the moon, perhaps the moon only symbolizes a time every month, a cycle if you will, when many peoples' minds get just a bit more open somehow, and many cannot handle it so it manifests in abnormal behavior. I have read that once a day a person is supposed to me more receptive to meditation than any other time in the day, maybe this is somehow related?
