What the Full Moon Represents

In the lunar cycle, the full moon highlights completion, clarity, and the wisdom of reflection. Many people use this time to witness progress, acknowledge lessons, and lovingly let go of what feels heavy or outgrown.

Benefits of Full Moon Rituals

Clarity: See patterns and choices more clearly.

Release: Gently set down what no longer supports you.

Realignment: Return to priorities that feel authentic.

Renewal: Create space for the next cycle to unfold.

How to Prepare

Choose a calm, comfortable space with minimal distractions.

Gather a candle, journal, water, and one or two crystals.

Silence notifications and set a gentle timer for 20 to 30 minutes.

Step by Step Full Moon Ritual

1) Arrive and Breathe

Light a candle. Take five slow breaths. On each exhale imagine release, on each inhale invite clarity.

2) Soften the Body

Roll your shoulders, relax the jaw, and place a hand on your heart. Let the body know it is safe to soften.

3) Journal Reflection

What feels complete right now?

What habits or thoughts weigh on my heart?

What am I ready to release so I can move forward?

4) Gentle Release

On a small paper, write one thing you are ready to release. Read it aloud, then tear the paper and recycle it. Breathe three calm breaths.

5) Seal the Intention

Hold your crystal and say a short intention such as, "I release what is complete. I trust my next steps." Close with gratitude.

Crystals for the Full Moon

Clear Quartz: Enhances clarity and intention.

Selenite: Supports cleansing and calm presence.

Amethyst: Encourages soothing insight and rest.

Rose Quartz: Brings compassion as you release. See the Rose Quartz guide.

Moon Water Basics

Place a covered glass jar of water by a window under the moonlight. Add a simple intention like clarity or peace. Use it the next day to water a plant, anoint your altar, or add a small splash to a bath.
