The "new moon herbs" guides us to the depths of ourselves, teaching us to learn from our emotions and to let go when it’s necessary to do so. The evolutionary function of the moon is to guide us towards emotional maturity. We learn to be sensitive, allowing our outer world to touch our inner world, yet with healthy boundaries. The moon is the mother who teaches us to nurture and care for each other. She teaches us that everyone has deep waters and deep emotions just as we do. It is in the moons teachings we learn how to consciously connect with each other.
