Embracing spirituality: Full Moon rituals

The full moon—an awe-inspiring celestial event that beckons us to release, reflect, and rejuvenate. As the moon casts its brilliant glow upon us, it’s the perfect time to engage in rituals that align with its potent energy. Here are my favorite full moon rituals that I cherish, designed to deepen your connection with this mystical time and enhance your spiritual practice. Remember, every full moon the comes to our beautiful sky has its own energy and theme based on where they are in the Zodiac. I also included rituals I do based on the Moons placement. Ultimately, make your rituals your own, do what you are feeling called to do. Remember, my practice may not look like yours, and some Moons, spirit is just simply telling you to REST. Listen to spirit and know this is just a guide. Love to you all….

1. Meditation

Sit quietly beneath the moonlight and engage in a meditation to ground yourself. Focus on your breath, visualize the moon's energy enveloping you, and set intentions for the days ahead. This is a time to connect with your inner self and tap into the lunar energy surrounding you.

2. Journaling

Grab your favorite notebook and let your thoughts flow onto the page. Reflect on the past lunar cycle—what have you accomplished, what are you releasing, and what are your intentions moving forward? Journaling under the glow of the moon can be a powerful practice of self-discovery.

3. Yoga

Flow through your favorite yoga poses, channeling the moon’s energy into your body. Focus on movements that honor balance, strength, and flexibility as you align your energy with the full moon’s vibrational frequency. Think about poses like Crescent Moon or Warrior III for a thematic connection.

4. Tarot Readings

Give yourself a tarot reading to gain insights into your spiritual journey. Use the full moon's energy to ask poignant questions about your past, present, and future. This ritual can reveal deeper truths and guide you toward clarity amidst the cosmic drama.

5. Full Moon Bath

Treat yourself to a full moon bath infused with herbs and blossoms that resonate with the current lunar sign. For example, during a Leo moon, consider adding rose petals for love and confidence, while on a Virgo moon, opt for chamomile for cleansing and grounding.

6. Writing to My Past and Future Self

Take a moment to write letters to both your past and future selves. Express gratitude to your past self for the lessons learned and offer encouragement to your future self for the journey ahead. This can create a profound connection to time and self-acceptance.

7. Reflecting on Personal Growth

Use the wisdom of the full moon to pause and reflect on your personal growth journey. What lessons have you learned? What challenges did you overcome? Allow yourself to feel gratitude for your progress, no matter how small.
