Moon phases during a lunar eclipse against a starry night sky. Colors shift from grey to red. Diagonal red line crosses the image. — Cycles of the moon throughout the month may cause emotional and physical issues. Sometimes a full moon may lead to insomnia in certain individuals.

Have you ever woken up feeling “off,” drained, or as though something hit you like a ton of bricks yet nothing in your day explains it? Many people are sensitive to shifts in both the environment around us and the larger cosmic forces that affect our planet. Solar flares, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), gamma rays, and even the cycles of the moon can influence how we feel physically, emotionally, and energetically.

For those living with autoimmune disease or chronic conditions such as Lyme disease, lupus, fibromyalgia, or parasitic imbalances, these shifts may feel even more intense. Understanding how these energies work allows us to give ourselves grace, care, and the space to heal.

Solar Flares & Gamma Rays

When the sun releases a burst of solar energy, or when gamma rays interact with Earth’s atmosphere, sensitive people may notice:

Sudden fatigue or heaviness
Headaches or brain fog
Mood swings or emotional irritability
Sleep disruptions
Nervous system pain and discomfort usually along the neck, spine and extremities

Why it matters for sensitive systems: Studies suggest that solar and geomagnetic disturbances can influence inflammation markers and immune responses. For people with autoimmune conditions, this extra stress on the body may trigger flares or symptom spikes.

Self-Care Tip: On high solar activity days, spend time by grounding walking barefoot on grass, sit quietly in nature, or try gentle breathwork to calm the nervous system.

Moon Cycles

The moon has guided human rhythms for thousands of years. Today, many still notice changes around full or new moons, including:

Restless or lighter sleep
Heightened emotions or sensitivity
Increased physical pain or flare-ups (especially for autoimmune conditions)
Vivid dreams or spiritual shifts

Why it matters for sensitive systems: Lunar phases affect circadian rhythms, which in turn regulate hormones and immune function. For those with lupus, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue, even small shifts in sleep cycles can intensify symptoms. Hormonal and immune changes in your body may make symptoms feel intense during a full moon. Parasitic infections can be more active during a full moon.

If you suspect a parasitic infection, it’s important to contact your doctor for proper testing. Even in the U.S. we could benefit from a parasite cleanse every three months, as many of us are exposed to parasites through mosquitoes, soil, and other sources. Other countries, such as India, regions of India, Africa, Jamacia, and Mexico, regularly include parasite cleanses as part of their regular health routines.

Self-Care Tip: Journal during full moons to release emotions, and set intentions during new moons. Honoring these natural cycles can bring a sense of rhythm and balance.

Electromagnetic Fields (EMFs)

With 5G, Wi-Fi, and technology all around us, EMF exposure is constant. Some people are more sensitive than others, but common effects may include:

Sleep disturbances
Nervous tension or “wired and tired” feelings
Increased inflammation or discomfort in those with chronic illness

Why it matters for sensitive systems: Research shows EMFs may influence immune cell function and inflammatory pathways. For individuals with autoimmune disorders, EMF exposure can feel like an extra layer of stress.

Self-Care Tip: Create a “low-tech zones” in your home. Turn off Wi-Fi at night, keep devices away from your bed, and give your body time to reset.

Aftercare Following Energy or Massage Sessions

Your body is frequently more open and receptive after massage or energy work, making you more sensitive to cosmic and environmental changes. It's important to support yourself afterward.

Hydrate with electrolytes to help restore balance
Rest and allow your body time to integrate the work
Gentle movement such as walking or stretching to keep energy flowing
Grounding by taking off your shoes and allowing your bare feet to touch the ground
Protect your space by reduce EMFs exposure by turning off WIFI router, placing your phone in another room, unplugging TV's or other high EMF's electronics.
Use calming essential oils, music or create a personal, soothing nighttime ritual
If sensitive to EMF's you can purchase Faraway items such as a blanket, beanie hat or or bed net cover.
Work with your favorite stones like tourmaline, black moonstone, shungite, and obsidian for grounding.

Final Thoughts

Living in today’s high-frequency world means that our bodies are constantly responding to unseen forces. For some, these changes may feel subtle. For others, especially those with sensitive or autoimmune systems these energies can be deeply felt. By noticing patterns, practicing self-care, and supporting your body and energy field, you can navigate these shifts with more ease and empowerment.
