So you may be wondering how can we can connect with the Full Moon’s energy and wisdom to bring more magic into our life…
Well there are plenty of rituals, but let me share some of my favorites with you.
Full moon charging
First of all, you can charge anything that might benefit from the gentle energy of the moon. Gather anything you want to purify, charge and cleanse and take them out into the moonlight.
I love to place my crystals, oracle decks, art supplies & canvases, herbs and essential oils, anything that could benefit – even a bowl of water that can be later used for drinking, watering the plants or painting, and let it soak up the moonlight.
Crystals and stones love this and even if you can’t see the moon, it’s energy is there. You can place them on a windowsill or outside if the weather is mild and not damp or too cold (many crystals can rust or break under extreme temperatures and humidity)
Full moon manifesting and card reading
Since the the full moon enhances our intuition, it is a powerful time to see things clearly and connect with our desires.
This focused energy can help you manifest much more quickly when you set an intention on what you want and don’t want.
You can simply light some sage, incense, or a candle, and write down a list of what you want to set behind you, and what you want to manifest.
With this clear intention in mind give yourself an oracle or tarot reading and see what what wisdom your Guides and Angels have to share with you. The more in tune you are with your intuition, the clearer the answers will be.
You can also start your own Full Moon ritual. Be inventive and don’t be afraid to do what you FEEL is right and beneficial to you.
Meditating
The full moon is a wonderful time to meditate and connect with the powerful energy that is present during this time. Take advantage of the symbolism of the full moon’s closure and rebirth. Allow yourself to release anything that is negative and holding you back while making space for clarity as you step boldly onto your soul path.
This is a meditation I created for you on the same full moon that I filmed this project. I encourage you to take this time for yourself, light a candle and turn off your phone, and connect with your intuition. I also held a moonstone in one hand and a black obsidian in the other. Below you will find a little explanation on these stones and why I chose to connect with their power during this meditation.
Moonstone
Just like the moon shimmering in the night sky, moonstone connects us with mystery, magic and the deep truths that lie within us.
A stone that reflects the wisdom of the Divine Feminine, the Crone, the Moon Goddess and fertile mothers, the moonstone is deeply connected with feminine cycles and soothes heightened emotions and hormones. Moonstone gently opens your subconscious and inner knowing, awakening the power if the Divine Feminine, and helps unleash the Goddess energy that flows deep within us.
black obsidian
Obsidian is a stone of divination & protection. This stone, especially useful for sensitive souls and empaths, as it wraps a protective shield around you, blocking out any distractions. This magical stone has the art of helping you bring any shadows or doubts to the light, and releasing anything that isn’t serving you. It is also helpful in difficult decision making and bringing your inner consciousness to light. A word of caution: This stone is very powerful, and should be used with wisdom. It will reveal deep, inner truths, can bring trauma and grief to the surface, in order to be released. Before using this stone one must be ready to face these shadows, and to let them go.
Full Moon mandala
Creating a crystal grid or nature mandala while you set an intention is a wonderful ritual for this occasion.
Write down your dreams and goals for this next month or year onto a piece of paper and set it under the crystal or stone in the center of the grid. Imagine the energy of the full moon activating and igniting this intention, creating a portal from the universe to Mother Earth.
Paint, draw, journal, work with clay, or any other creative material
Obviously, this is one of my favorite rituals, and what led me to create this workshop in the first place.
This is a perfect time to be creative and let the divine energy of the moon flow through you… You certainly don’t have to create a masterpiece. The purpose here is to use your enhanced intuition during this time to help you express yourself through creativity. You can also use other ways to be creative, like the suggestions I list below…
- Sing, dance, (or even howl) in the moonlight. Play an instrument if you have one. I love to play my crystal and Tibetan bowl in the moonlight.
- Take a salt and crystal bath, or swim in the moonlight.
- Moon gaze
- Take a walk in the moonlight
- Make a nature mandala or crystal intention grid
- Be creative and invent your own full moon ritual!
A wonderful way to connect with the magic of the moment is to take a Sound bath.
My dear friend and soul sister Mei-Lan creates some beautiful sound sessions. This is one she recorded on the same night of the full moon that I created the meditation…
