Full Moon Magic

With the Full Moon approaching, I wanted to take this chance to present some magical practices associated with this remarkable moon phase. Whether you're interested in wellness, creative expression, natural healing, or intention setting, there's something for everyone.

Crystals and the Full Moon

Full Moon - Moonstone, Selenite, Clear Quartz, Labradorite & Amethyst

The full moon phase is a time of heightened energy, clarity, and completion, making it an ideal moment to work with crystals that resonate with these qualities. Moonstone, with its luminous sheen, is perhaps the most closely associated crystal with the full moon, embodying intuition, balance, and a deeper connection to one's inner self. Selenite, named after the Greek goddess of the moon, Selene, promotes peace, mental clarity, and cleansing, making it perfect for clearing negative energy and enhancing meditation during the full moon. Clear Quartz, known as a "master healer," amplifies the energy of other stones and intentions, making it an excellent choice for full moon rituals aiming at manifestation and clarity. Labradorite, with its spectral play of colors, supports transformation and magic, aligning well with the full moon's energy of culmination and transition. Finally, Amethyst, with its calming and intuitive properties, helps deepen meditation and spiritual connection, resonating with the full moon's introspective and illuminating nature. Working with these crystals during the full moon can enhance personal growth, healing, and the manifestation of goals.

Meditation under the Full Moon

Full Moon Meditation - Release, Focus and Heal

Full Moon Meditations offer a unique opportunity to align one's energy with the natural rhythms of the earth and the cosmos. During the full moon, the increased gravitational pull and luminosity can heighten emotions and energy levels; an ideal time for reflection, release, and intention setting. Engaging in meditation during this phase can help in harnessing the full moon's powerful energy to clear mental clutter and emotional turbulence, fostering a sense of peace and clarity - focusing on themes of gratitude, forgiveness, and manifestation, using the amplified energies to set intentions for the coming lunar cycle. By creating a sacred space, perhaps by lighting candles or incense, and sitting quietly under the moonlight or in a comfortable spot indoors, one can meditate on letting go of what no longer serves them and inviting in new, positive energies. This practice not only promotes spiritual growth but also enhances emotional well-being, making Full Moon Meditations a cherished ritual for many.

Vision Boards & the Full Moon

Full Moon Vision Board

The Full Moon is a time of culmination and realization. Focus your vision board on gratitude and acknowledgment of what you have achieved. It can also be a time to release what no longer serves you, so you might include symbols of letting go or transformation.

Creating a full moon vision board is a powerful and inspiring process that aligns your desires with the lunar cycle's peak energy, harnessing the full moon's potential to bring your dreams into reality. Begin by gathering supplies: a board or large paper, magazines, photos, quotes, and any other items that resonate with your goals and aspirations. On the night of the full moon, find a quiet, comfortable space where you can reflect on what you truly desire. Think about the areas of your life you wish to enhance or transform—be it love, career, health, or spirituality.

As you sift through your materials, choose images and words that deeply connect with your intentions. Place them on your board in a way that feels harmonious and powerful to you. Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to create your vision board; it’s a personal and intuitive process. As you work, visualize each goal coming to fruition, imagining how it feels to achieve these milestones. Once complete, place your vision board somewhere you will see it daily, allowing it to serve as a constant reminder and motivator for your journey ahead. The full moon's energy will amplify your intentions, setting the stage for manifestation and growth.

A full moon bath, infused with the mystical allure of mugwort and lavender, accompanied by the shimmering energies of labradorite and amethyst, offers a deeply soothing and enchanting experience.

• cleanse your space with palo santo, sage or incense of choice.

"I release what no longer serves me and open my heart to receive the blessings meant for me."

Once your bath is ready, immerse yourself, close your eyes, and meditate on your intentions for the upcoming lunar cycle, letting the harmonious blend of elements foster personal clarity, forgiveness and rejuvenation. Soak for 30 minutes and as you drain your bath, thank the full moon for her magic and power, and then blow out your candles.
