The full moon is a time of great power, and it is the perfect time to perform a ritual. A full moon ritual can help you to release negative energy, set intentions, and manifest your desires. Here are 7 tips for having a successful full moon ritual:
Tip #1 - Create a Release list
Before you begin your full moon ritual, it is important to be clear on what you wish to release. Your acceptance and willingness to let go should be clear, specific, and focused. It can be helpful to write down a "Release list" so that you can refer to it during the ritual.
Tip #2 - Choose a quiet and peaceful location.
It is important to choose a quiet and peaceful location for your full moon ritual. This could be in your home, in a park, or somewhere that feels special to you, most importantly a place where you can allow yourself to cry and release. Make sure that the location is free from distractions and interruptions. You need to honor yourself and your feelings at this time.
Tip #3 -Gather your supplies
You will need a few supplies for your full moon ritual. This could include candles, incense, crystals, and any other items that have special meaning to you. Make sure that you have everything you need before you begin.
Tip #4 - Set the Mood
It is important to set the mood for your ritual. Light your candles, burn your incense, and play meditation music. This will help to create a peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. I like to use Sandalwood and Myrrh candles, root chakra meditation music, and crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, carnelian, lapis lazuli, and clear quartz.
Tip #5 - Connect with the Moon
Take a moment to connect with the energy of the moon. You can do this by meditating, chanting, or simply gazing at the moon. Allow yourself to feel the energy of the moon and let it fill you with its power. If you have crystals or crystal bracelets, place them outside to recharge with the moon's energy. You'll know when you have connected to the moon's energy as you will feel your energy vibrate, or goosebumps.
Tip #6 - Release negative energy
The full moon is a powerful time to release negative energy. You can do this by writing down anything that is holding you back or causing you stress, or anxiety. Then, burn the paper as a symbol of releasing these negative emotions, and don't think of them anymore during the night. Let the Universe take over, let it clear you and fill you with peace and love.
Tip #7 - Set your intentions
Once you have released negative energy, and you're ready to close your ritual. It is important to set your intentions for the coming month. You can do this by writing down your intentions and keeping them somewhere visible. This will help to remind you of your goals and keep you focused on manifesting your desires.
A full moon ritual is a powerful tool for releasing and self-care. By following these 7 tips, you can have a successful full moon ritual and harness the energy of the moon to create positive change in your life. Remember to trust in the process and allow the energy of the moon to guide you towards your goals.
