1. Holiday Cottages in Yorkshire and Harvest Moons
The benefits of a Moon Bath:
“There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.”
We sunbathe to worship and soak up the sun’s rays so why don’t we spend time absorbing the
life-enhancing rays of the moon?

Our Moon bath here at Dalesend Cottages
There was a spectacular Harvest Moon during the 24 hours of Wed 4-5th October. Some of you
may have had disturbed sleep during that night, as the magnetic fields in your body wrestled with
the force of the moon’s energy and calling. I began the day in London and arrived at my yoga
class making excuses about my red eyes and lazy-feeling bones.
‘I’m feeling fragile’ I said to the teacher, whilst choosing a back row place for my mat.
‘Oh that’ll be the new moon last night’ our teacher said, and others joined me and confessed they
too, had been awake from 4 am. Relaxing on our mats before we began, the teacher explained the
new moon phenomena. Her final advice was very interesting.

2. This advice received a lot of laughter. This was a Chelsea yoga studio (Triyoga) and most of us
lived in flats designed for Lilliputians. In London, these properties enjoy communal gardens,
even detached houses usually only have ‘semi-private’ ones. No way was our teacher advising us
to run naked up and down the King’s Road during the small hours. The local police station
would be inundated with calls from indignant passers-by. A reply like ‘So sorry officer I was
only ‘moon bathing’ wouldn’t wash. In London we had to theorise. But, imagining doing it
sounded so tempting…
Why? Because I was the only Yorkshire lass in that
Triyoga studio, travelling home later that day, courtesy of
a direct Virgin Trains East Coast train service from
King’s Cross to our local station, Northallerton. Our
cottages were waiting for new arrivals on the Friday – no
incumbent guests that night to traumatise as two naked
bodies galloped around our private lawn.
Charles had no idea of my plan until after the Ten o’clock
news. The vast moon hung above us, a dazzling orb. OH
YES… there are nights when the wolves are silent and
only the moon howls.
I ran a bath of hot water (thanks to our eco-friendly wooden biomass boiler) to reheat ourselves
afterwards and we undressed for our first bath of the night.
Crystals and Stones
To cleanse your crystals and stones, put them outside on a windowsill during a full moon to
absorb the powerful rays and cleanse all negative karma. Here is our giant Rose Quartz.
