Beginner’s Guide to Full Moon Rituals
Each full moon brings a powerful opportunity to incorporate ritual and intention into your life! It’s only natural for us humans to follow and show respect for the rhythms of nature… As the full moon has an impact on the ocean tides, it also has a profound impact on us.
Each month typically has only one full moon, but if a second moon falls in one month, it is known as a “Blue Moon”.
The Full Moon is often associated with release, letting go, completion, fertility, harvest, celebration. It’s a wonderful time to cleanse and charge your crystal collection under the moonlight!
And don’t worry if you can’t do your preferred ritual at the exact time of the full moon. The energy is ripe for 3 days: the day before, the day of, and the day after! Read on to discover some magical ways to align with the full moon’s powerful energy…
Let the 4 elements be your guide to honoring yourself and the Full Moon…
full moon water rituals
Take a spiritually cleansing bath with a Full Moon Bath Bomb -it includes a beautiful quartz point! When you are finished bathing, imagine any negative thoughts and energies floating down the drain, leaving you cleansed and renewed!
The Full Moon is also an ideal time to clean and refresh your home. A favorite ritual is to add a splash of Florida Water or Rosemary Essential Oil to mop water to banish any toxic spirits and invite goodness and prosperity in!
full moon fire rituals
Light a candle or make an outdoor bonfire. If there is anything you are struggling with, write it on a piece of paper or a Bay Leaf and release it into the fire!
full moon air rituals
The air element can be represented by the smoke from smudging or burning incense. Use Satya Spiritual Healing Incense or a Mugwort Smudge Stick to cleanse yourself and your belongings of anything that does not serve you!
Breathing is another simple way to connect with the air element. Prepare a quiet, sacred space to close your eyes and concentrate on breathing… inhaling and exhaling as deeply and rhythmically as you can. Challenge yourself to stay focused only on your breath for 3 minutes.
full moon earth rituals
Take a barefoot walk, grounding yourself and connecting with the natural world. Collect any interesting stones that may call to you, especially Moonstone.
If it’s an appropriate time of the year, take joy in harvesting and preparing some flowers, herbs or vegetables from your garden!
Tea time is a favorite ritual that incorporates ALL of the elements!
Earth (the herbs)
Fire (heat source)
Water
Air (steam from your cup)…
Prepare a simple tea ceremony under the full moon with your favorite tea blend and make it extra special with the cutest Crystal Teaspoon!
Savor your tea outside while you bask in the full moonlight!
