In my earlier blog called the Cascade of Creativity, I mentioned how you can ground ideas by taking them through a fairly logical process.

You can see that blog here

The advantages of this approach is that your idea doesn’t float off so someone else can pick up on it AND that the idea is not rushed. As a result, it has a better chance of actually happening.

Well many a wine grower, and now many farmers, have been synching their crops to the phases of the Moon for aeons using biodynamics. If you want to know more, have a look at this book In Tune With the Moon from Findhorn Press.

Women are of course more tuned to the Moon than many men and lunatics quite literally sometimes come out of the asylum more often when the Moon is full.

There are both exoteric and esoteric reasons why this all works which I go into more details on in my 1-2-1 mentoring and workshops and I may well come back to later in this series.

I’ve been synching my creative and marketing activity to the Moon for over a year now and can testify it seems to work – and it’s no harm or effort to try. If nothing else, the sight of the Moon at night reminds you to be measured in your approach and to ensure you think thing through in logical and measured manner.

What you do is this – each month work through your initial inspirations while the Moon is just past New. From the First Quarter to Full, conceptualise the ideas and how they might play out. From Full to Last Quarter, work on structure. Finally, from Last Quarter to New, work on the actual words.

Now obviously external pressures might make this a bit of a luxury but I think it works well for projects with a medium term time constraint – like a novel or a marketing initiative.

The proof is in the pudding and there’s no harm in trying – and I would really appreciate your feedback as to how you get on …
