Moon-bathing is an ancient Ayurvedic treatment to keep cool in the summer, especially for fiery Pitta types. Moon bathing is just like sun bathing, except that the moon is a cool and refreshing balm for your body and mind. The moon will refresh your eyes. Poets agree that the moon can make your more affectionate and whisk away irritations of the day.

If you have a backyard take a blanket outside, lie down and relax as you bask in the soothing, soft light. You can also open a window or the curtains, letting the moonlight drift in. You may find the effect so lovely that you drift off into a peaceful sleep, dreaming of cool mountain pools, lulled by the melodies of evening crickets and chorus of night birds.

“My first backpacking experience was down to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and back up. We planned the trip so that we would climb out of the canyon in the evening under a full moon using the light to make our way out. It was truly magical, just the right temp. and I will never forget the moon walk out as it felt so different than hiking with the sun's light. Thank you John for sharing this as I am going to take some Moon Baths as I love the moon and am a Cancer / Moon child. "

“Ahh yes moon bathing! I'm so glad to see I'm not the only one who loves this! I have no curtains on my bedroom windows so I may wake up to the sunshine or peaceful fall asleep by moonlight. My bedroom is on the 3rd floor, facing east. This is bliss for me!"
