I guess they do have some effect on us. Like when you say you prefer meditating in certain times and situations, I agree, I like meditating in nature. Its much more powerful and I feel really connected to Mother nature which is awesome. But I guess it can affect us to a certain level that we allow it to. I believe for example that you can feel good no matter what the situation. But you need to focus- focus more on the inside than on the outside. I guess thats your answer - if you focus on the outside then yes their energy can affect you. But if you choose to focus inwardly then your vibe will be whatever you choose it to be no matter what goes on outside of you. Hope this helps

that outside is perceived by
our inside perceptiveness,
how sensitive reception
is, is within your control

of how you choose to see

Three things to perhaps consider:

1. In principle, everything is neutral and you are free to give whatever meaning you want to everything- thats the point of having free will. You mentioned for example meditating outside in the rain is more beneficial to you- so you have given 'meditating outside in the rain' a positive meaning- and you are reaping the results of that- by claiming you have more benefit when you meditate outside in the rain, however someone else could perhaps assign the same 'meditating outside in the rain' a negative meaning- for example, it always makes me cold and wet- and they will reap the results of that- for example by getting a cold whenever they do meditate outside in the rain.

2. There is no assertion- there is only attraction. Nothing outside of you can assert itself in your reality- so saying that you 'feel' there is more benefit of the full moon or a particular storm- you are attracting that benefit directly to you yourself- its not that the moon or the storm have some sort of magical energy- its just that you have attracted that by believing it to be true- again- its not the storm or the moon- its YOU.

3. Everything is energy- every single thing you see around you including yourself is essentially vibration in its core- a form of energy- that which everything is made of- you can use the energy of some things to your advantage, if you say you want to use this energy to help you utilize the law of attraction- than it will- for you are the one deciding what has meaning and what not. thats all.
