When Kate Moss needs to de-stress, she doesn’t merely go for a walk or take a nap like us mere mortals – instead she lies under the night sky to absorb its lunar energy. Of course! This is known as “moonbathing” – and while it might sound a tad witchy woo, it’s in fact an ancient wellness regime, and far healthier than sunbathing.
Moonbathing is thought to calm the mind, manage stress, regulate a woman’s cycle and may even cure chronic conditions like hives and migraines. It’s also just one part of the supermodel’s daily routine. Speaking to The Sunday Times last week, the 49-year-old revealed she practices transcendental meditation for 10 minutes every day, goes wild swimming, does ashtanga yoga and reformer pilates and even grows her own vegetables. During full moons, she likes to “charge” her energy-giving crystals in her back garden, too, all the better to soup up its power. Crystals are meant to positively interact with the body’s energy field – or chakra – and promote physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Moss’s additional daily affirmations – which include “trust the universe and it will lead the way” – might sound cheesy as well, but so what? I say good for Kate Moss! Who needs stress? Rather than laugh at her wacky wellness antics, surely this sort of thing should be encouraged.
