“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears or the sea.”

-Isak Dinesen

When the moon is brightest and fullest, we are the most reminded of our sea connection. We can feel the strength of our magnetic waves, the mystical push and pull of our own magic, and of our sea water within.

Some women stay awake all night under the unwavering light of the moon, feeling the powerful connection. And in these hours, we wonder about our relationship to the oceans, to the moving waters that we grew out of many billions of years ago.

It is an astounding reminder to ourselves about our history of being one with the sea. Our body is nearly the same salinity as salt water, and that like the tides, we mark our lives and movement around the cycle of the moon. For women especially, our lives are marked by the waxing and waning of the moon. Rather than a linear existence, we travel in circles, in moon cycles like the sea surrounding us.

During the full moon, when the tides come in the strongest and furthest, it is the perfect time to feel our power as women — connected to the Earth and strengthened by our connection. Rather than planning, hoping, or dreaming, (as is wisest during the new and waxing moon,) receive the potent light of the fullest moon to be fully present and acknowledge our immense power and inherent potential.

Like the ocean herself, we are huge, boundless, and powerful in our rhythm and beautiful in our connection to one another. As owner founders of a sexual wellness company for women, at Lark Love, we beseech you readers, to feel your power and to be shame free in your body’s wonder. Feel the pride that is the same love that you feel for the sea. We are wondrous; we are glorious. Like the ocean, you deserve care, love, and awe.
