 Why do many people fall into depression on the full moon and how to overcome that?

 Those who become depressed are unable to allow their feelings and energy to flow outward. Their energy is blocked, therefore they feel nervous, touchy and despondent. However, precisely on the day of the full moon there exists a great opportunity to inwardly purify. The strong energy that streams into us on these days can release energy blockages and one’s energy can be restored to its natural flow. This functions like a drain or a channel where much rubbish has accumulated and become blocked. In order to clean it, one takes a hose and flushes out the drain with a strong jet of water to sweep away all refuse. In just this way the energy of the moon can have the same effect on blocked feelings and complexes.
