I have been trying to connect with the lunar cycle for quite some time now. The day I decided to go forth was coincidentally a full moon. After research through Integrative Counsel, online journals, and a few Witchcraft, Wiccan, and Hinduism YouTube videos, I was able to find my personalized ritual for the full moon. The intention of the full moon ritual is to release anything you don't want to hold any longer. This can be negative energy, certain thoughts, pent up emotions, habits, and even relationships. Below is the full moon ritual in it's entirety with its entirety.
Full Moon Preperation
Once it's night time and the full moon is present, run a bath with natural essential oils of your choice. Bathe in silence or listen to nature sounds. The objective it to cleanse yourself in nature. Don't forget to add moonwater to your bath. Moonwater is simply a cup of disilled water that has sat in the moonlight. The reason is so the water soaks up the moon's energry
Full Moon Writing Activity
Write down on a piece of paper a list of what you'd like to release. Be as specific as you'd like. For example, I wrote down "Release my irrational fears."
After your list is written write down reasons why you held on to these
Lastly, write down what it will look like once you release them
Dot or spray your page with an essential oil of your choice, I chose lavender
Fold you page towards you and then turn it in a clockwise direction
Rip your paper into pieces and throw away or burn if you'd like
Full Moon Meditation
Find a seat outside in the moonlight or near a window with moonlight
Cleanse your auroa with sage or holy water, I did both
Light a candle or battery one to represent the fire element
Sit and meditate (Insight timer has plenty of full moon meditations)
The process of this ritual was extremely relaxing and enjoyable. I turly had fun with the process and didn't want it to be over. I am very excited to do this again next full moon!
