đ What Is a Full Moon Ritual?
A soul-cleansing ceremony of release, remembrance, and radiant embodiment.
A Full Moon Ritual is a sacred practice performed during the full moonâa time when the moon is at her brightest, and emotions, truths, and energy are fully illuminated. In spiritual traditions, the full moon is known as a powerful portal for releaseâletting go of what no longer serves you, celebrating whatâs come to fruition, and anchoring your evolution.
Itâs the cosmic exhale after building energy all cycle long.
đŽ Why Perform a Full Moon Ritual?
The full moon is not a time to manifestâitâs a time to witness, reflect, and release. Youâve planted your seeds. Now itâs time to:
- Illuminate whatâs been hidden
- Celebrate your wins and soul growth
- Let go of limiting beliefs, relationships, or energy cords
- Cleanse your aura, space, and spirit
- Reconnect with your inner wisdom and intuition
Itâs energetic detox meets emotional soulbath.
đŻď¸ What Does a Full Moon Ritual Include?
Hereâs a simple and powerful structure you can follow or adapt intuitively:
đŹď¸ 1. Cleanse Your Space and Energy
Use smoke (sage, palo santo), sound, selenite, or moon water to cleanse your physical and energetic space. Youâre creating a container for transformation.
Affirmation: âI clear all energy that no longer serves me.â
đ 2. Reflect + Journal
Use prompts like:
- What came to light this moon cycle?
- What am I ready to release?
- What am I proud of or celebrating?
- What pattern do I choose to break?
đĽ 3. Write a Release List
On a piece of paper, write down everything youâre letting go ofâfears, doubts, old stories, stuck emotions.
Optional: Safely burn the paper in a fire-safe dish or cauldron under the moonlight to symbolize your release.
đď¸ 4. Energy Clearing or Cord Cutting
Visualize any heavy or toxic energy leaving your body or aura. You can use crystals (like black tourmaline or selenite), salt baths, or guided meditation.
Mantra: âI cut energetic ties to anything no longer aligned with my highest path.â
đ 5. Charge Tools + Set Intentions for Healing
Place crystals, water, or sacred items outside or on your altar to absorb full moon energy. You can also set intentions for healing, growth, or integration.
đ§ââď¸ 6. Close with Gratitude + Grounding
Thank the moon, your guides, and your spirit for showing up. Close with breathwork, meditation, or simply placing your hands over your heart.
