Bone china
Kaolin, feldspar and quartz, commonly used to make porcelain clay, are mixed with a minimum of 35% bone ash. This produces the strongest type of porcelain that exists and creates a distinctive ivory colour. Thanks to its composition, bone china can be fired at a temperature of approximately 1250 °C.

Four phases of the moon
The moon orbits the Earth in a cycle of approximately 29 days. Within this lunar cycle, four phases are distinguished: New Moon, Waxing Moon, Full Moon and Waning Moon.

New moon is the moment when the moon is barely visible from Earth, marking the start of a new lunar cycle.

The phase when the sunlit surface of the moon gradually increases in size is called the Waxing Moon.

During the full moon, the moon is positioned directly behind the Earth in relation to the sun, so the side facing Earth is fully illuminated by the sun. It takes the moon 29 days to pass through the four lunar phases. So approximately once a month we can see a full moon from Earth.

During the waning moon phase, the sun shines on more than half of the moon's surface, and this illuminated portion gradually decreases.

The lunar cycle and you
It's clear that the moon influences life on our planet. For example, the ebb and flow of tides are caused by the moon's gravity, which 'pulls' on the Earth. The flow of our body's vital energy also moves in rhythm with the moon.

Many nature-based religions and spiritual traditions have used this wisdom for generations. For example, the new moon is a good time to start something new. During the waxing moon, energy increases and growth occurs. So it's a good phase, for instance, to start a new project. After the full moon, energy decreases, which is a good phase for losing weight or easing destructive habits.

There is no inherently 'good' or 'bad' phase of the moon. The trick is learning to flow with the current. This contributes to a healthy lifestyle, and you'll find that harmony and balance increase in your life.
