The full moon is a perfect time to set intentions, manifest, cleanse crystals, and most importantly taking time for yourself. The energy of the moon can be healing and powerful. It the perfect time for seeking guidance and clarity. It is great for making petitions and focusing on goals. But, most of all we love the energy for meditation and oneness.
Taking time for yourself and developing your own full moon ritual is easy. Some people like to do full moon baths. Some people use this time for manifesting and making petitions for the universe. Others allow this to be a moment for self-care and relaxation. Regardless of what you are looking to do during a full moon, be sure that it is always personal and unique for you.
Below are our favorite things to do on a full moon.
Full Moon Ritual
Pre-Calm
We like to get ourselves in a “pre-calm” headspace while we are getting ready for our full moon ritual. We do not like to drag in energies from the day into our sacrad time. We will get more centered later, but to start we take a moment to just breath and make our awareness present. Right out of the gate we like to start thinking about our intentions for the full moon. This can be general or more specific. Just get your mind in a good spot first. Be sure you are uninterrupted and in a calming environment. This time is yours.
Create a Sacrad Space
This is the spot you will be using for your full moon practice. This can be outside under the moonlight allowing you to feel the added connection to Gaia. It can also be some comfortable spot in your home. We like to be near a window so that the light of the moon can be present. In your sacred space light candles. As you light your candle think about your intention. Your intention can be something general or more specific to your life. We like to infuse our candles with reiki or use our full moon reiki infused candle while setting the intention. Our full moon candles support the energy of the moon and help to strengthen manifesting. For your sacrad space bring in plants, pull out your favorite crystals, and any other sacrad objects or symbols you would like. For example, if you are interested in angels you could have an angelic symbol represented in your space.
Note: We like everything we use in this space to have a meaning. So, if we are choosing crystals we like our crystals to be in alignment with what we are working on in the full moon session and so on. If you aren’t sure, have your items be associated with the full moon energy.
Cleanse
Candles help lift the energy in your space. But, you can also cleanse out negative or stagnant energies with incense, sage (be sure to fill your space with good energy after using sage), or Palo Santo. Palo Santo only removes negative energies and helps to pull in positive ones. Unlike, Sage you will not need to replace the energies removed. We like to cleanse our space with Reiki. You can play one of our energy clearing videos in the background to help cleanse your space as well.
Be Present
Observe the moon and express gratitude. At this time make yourself even more present than before. Write down your petitions, journal, set clear intentions, and meditate. Meditate and get clarity on issues you may need help with. If you are manifesting, meditate on your goals. Get lost in creative visualization allowing the energies of the moon to help you see the bigger picture, get motivated, and support your thoughts. As reiki masters, we like meditate with reiki as well. You are welcome to join in our full moon distant sessions or play one of our full moon energy videos while you meditate and get one with yourself. Learn more about Moon Phase reiki here.
