Steps for a soothing, cleansing Full Moon Ritual. 

Rituals...so soothing for our modern day, overstimulated minds.  Chance to take a sacred pause, a chance to slow down, to nourish and restore our spirit, heart and emotions. 

The March full moon is on the 28th March, you can perform this ritual other the day before, or after, the energies are still potent and available to connect with.

There are many different ways of working with the moon energy, I will share a few this month and add some more for next months full moon. 

The energy which starts with the new moon builds up over the month, and culminates on the full moon. This is the time to take a pause, reflect, cleanse and reset for the month ahead. 

The full moon is a time for letting go and making space, I advocate for always seeing what we can let go of, including busy to make space in our lives for what we want now. 

Here are some of my favourite energetic practises for the full moon. 

1. Light a candle (non toxic, and soy wax based of course! ) I get my candles from my beautiful friends and the very talented @spirit_junkie_goddess. 
2. Essential Oils - Tea Tree over my heart and wrist creases to cleanse and gently reinforce my energetic boundaries and lemongrass on my crown to remove energy that doesn’t serve me. I like to put cedar wood or vetiver on K1 or K3 accupoints after,  to ground the energy and release to I love to rub PLEASE NOTE they must be all diluted and I only advocate for doTERRA - I advocate for them, you can get wholesale oils with myself and my mentorship)
3. Sit slow the breath, place your hands on your heart and ask your deepest self, what isn’t serving me in my life anymore. Have no expectations and see what comes up, no judgements. 
4. Journal, write down all the thoughts that have come into your head 
5. Reflect, is there one thought pattern, behaviour, object or anything else that you would like to release?
6. Write it/them down, burn some white sage to smudge around your aura and your home, start with each corner go around the house, then open the windows to let the moon energy and the fresh air in and the sage smoke out.
7. Take your note and sit and gaze at the moon, turn your face to it and ask grandmother moon to help you release what isn’t serving you anymore. 
8. If you can make a fire, make a small fire and burn the paper, ask grandfather fire to transmute the energy then give the ashes back to mother earth and thank her for holding you on this earth walk. 

There are lots of other full moon practises, I will share some more next month. 

Let me know if you enjoyed these practises.
