Enhance Your Full Moon Ritual: 14 Ways to Connect with the Full Moon Energy.

Doing a full moon ritual on the full moon can significantly help your life to run more smoothly.

Our full moon is one of the most powerful tools the Universe has ever given us, so why not take advantage of it to the fullest extent possible?

A full moon ritual can be a way to harness any energy of the full moon that you need and can bring positive change in your life.

The full moon has been associated with a variety of energies and influences, and there are several ways in which we can take advantage of these energies to improve our lives.

One of the main energies of the full moon is its ability to bring things to light and bring clarity to our thoughts and emotions. This makes it a good time to reflect on our experiences, set intentions, and make important decisions.

The full moon can also bring a sense of release and closure, making it a good time to let go of things that no longer serve us. This can be physical items, negative thoughts and emotions, or any other things that hold us back.

The full moon can also bring a sense of increased intuition and creativity. This makes it a good time to engage in activities that allow you to tap into your inner voice and express your creativity.

In general, the full moon is a time of transformation and change, and we can take advantage of this energy by setting goals and working towards them, by engaging in self-care and self-reflection, and by connecting with nature.

You can implement as many full moon rituals as you want, however, it’s important to remember that the effectiveness of these rituals depends on the individual’s consistency and commitment to them. It can also be a good idea to track the changes in your life and happiness over time to see if the rituals are having a positive impact.

The full moon phase lasts for approximately three days, starting from the moment the moon is fully illuminated by the sun to the moment it is no longer fully illuminated. The exact duration of the full moon phase may vary slightly due to the elliptical shape of the moon’s orbit around the Earth.

The full moon calendar will give the dates, Perth, Australia, and which astrology sign it falls in.

Allow yourself to tap into any or all of the energy the full moon has to offer by practicing any of the following full moon rituals.

Full Moon Ritual Information

The more energy you put into it each month the more you will receive back.

Setting aside time each month on the full moon to reflect on your goals and intentions before performing a full moon ritual can be an important step in the preparation process. 

Reflecting on your progress since the new moon can also be helpful in identifying areas where you may need extra support or guidance.

It’s also important to remember that rituals can be a powerful tool for personal growth and change, but they are not a substitute for consistent hard work and effort toward your goals. The ritual can be a way to align your energy and focus, but it’s important to continue working towards your goals in the days and weeks following the full moon.

If you need help with anything just take a walk or do some meditation and you may be surprised by what reveals itself.

Make sure you focus on what you want with positive statements and affirming language, such as “I am” and not “I need” or “I want”.  Sometimes the way we say things the proper way can be challenging, and when it’s said wrongly we are actually manifesting what we don’t want.

Always allow yourself to think big and bold and always for your highest good.  It’s best to keep things clear and concise and no more than ten items.  Don’t overcomplicate them but you can be centered around the same subject or you can focus on different areas.

The most potent time to perform rituals on a full moon is during the exact moment of the full moon and 6 hours before or after.  It’s not always possible to perform a ritual at this time but the closer to this time the better.  

It’s important to note that the exact timing of the ritual may not be as important as the intention and focus that you bring to it. The most important thing is that you feel ready, focused, and aligned with your intention during the full moon ritual.

Also, it’s worth noting that since the full moon occurs at different times depending on time zones, it’s important to consult a lunar calendar to determine the exact time of the full moon for your location.

Reflecting on Personal Growth

Reflecting on personal growth during the full moon can be beneficial because the full moon is associated with completion, release, and renewal. This makes it an ideal time to reflect on what you have accomplished, what you have learned, and what you need to let go of in order to move forward in your personal growth journey.

Reflect on your experiences in the past month. Think about what you have learned, what challenges you have faced, and what opportunities you have taken advantage of.

Acknowledge your growth and all that you have accomplished. 

Celebrate your successes, no matter how small they may seem.

Think about where you want to go in the future and what steps you need to take to get there. Write down your goals and make a plan to achieve them.

Once you have reflected, it’s time to release anything that no longer serves you. Let go of negative thoughts, fears, and old patterns.

This simple yet powerful exercise can help you gain insight into your personal growth, identify areas for improvement, and set goals for the future.

Breathwork Visualization

A full moon breathwork visualization ritual involves using controlled breathing and visualization techniques to connect with the energy of the full moon and promote self-discovery, healing, and growth.

As you breathe, visualize light and energy flowing into your body, filling you with a sense of peace and well-being. You may also visualize a specific issue or concern you hope to address or a desire you wish to manifest, and imagine the light and energy of the full moon amplifying your intention.

As you continue to breathe deeply and focus on your visualization, you may notice thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations arise. Simply observe them without judgment and continue to focus on your breath and visualization.

When you feel ready, slowly open your eyes and take a deep breath, thanking yourself for taking the time to connect with the full moon and engage in your breathwork visualization. 

Crystal Cleansing and Charging

A full moon ritual involves cleansing and charging your crystals under the moonlight. Crystals are believed to hold and store energy, and a full moon is a powerful time to release negative energy and recharge your crystals with positive, healing energy.

To begin, gather your items such as crystals, a bowl of water/salt water or a smudge stick.

Please Note: Before any water cleansing, ensure that only water-safe crystals are used.  Some crystals can’t withstand water and can be in the water but not in long lengths of time or salt water.  Exposure to water can dissolve, crack, or become discoloured crystals.  Check to see if your crystals are safe by The Mohs Hardness Scale.

After cleansing your crystals, you will charge them with positive, healing energy by placing them under the light of the full moon. You can place them outside, on a windowsill, or on a plate or dish, depending on your preference and the type of crystal (I use selenite).

As your crystals charge under the full moon, focus on your intention for the ritual, such as promoting healing, love, or peace in your life. Visualize light and energy flowing into your crystals, filling them with positive energy and amplifying their healing properties.

Conclude this ritual by thanking yourself for connecting with the full moon.

Crystals should be left in the moonlight for a minimum of 4 hours.

Love Ritual

A full moon love ritual involves focusing on love, relationships, and personal connections under the full moon.

Once sitting in your comfortable area and feeling relaxed, set your intention for the ritual by focusing on what you hope to release, heal, or manifest in relation to love and relationships. This could be a specific issue or concern, or simply a desire to connect with the full moon’s energy and focus on promoting love in your life. You can write your intention down in your journal or meditate on it to clarify your focus.

As you engage in your practices, visualize light and energy flowing into your life, filling you with a sense of peace and well-being. Express gratitude for the energy and guidance you receive from the full moon, and focus on love and relationships until you feel complete.

Self-Love Ritual

A full moon self-love ritual involves taking time for self-reflection and self-care under the light of the full moon to promote self-love and healing.

After setting your intention, engage in self-care practices that speak to you, such as a relaxing bath, meditation, journaling, or a skincare routine. Take the time to focus on your well-being and show yourself love and kindness.

As you engage in your self-care practices, visualize light and energy flowing into your body and filling you with a sense of peace and well-being. Express gratitude for the energy and guidance you receive from the full moon, and focus on your self-care and self-love until you feel complete.

Full Moon Dancing 

A full moon dancing ritual involves dancing under the light of the full moon to connect with its energy and celebrate the cycles of life. The ritual involves several steps to create a sacred space, set your intention, and dance.

Start by setting your intention for the ritual by focusing on what you hope to release, heal, or manifest. This could be a specific issue or concern, or simply a desire to connect with the full moon’s energy. You can write your intention down in your journal or meditate on it to clarify your focus.

As you dance, visualize light and energy flowing into your body and filling you with a sense of peace and well-being. Express gratitude for the energy and guidance you receive from the full moon, and continue to dance until you feel complete.

Slowly bring your dance to a close and take a deep breath, thanking yourself for the time you spent connecting with the full moon.

Full Moon Sound Healing

A full moon ritual utilizes sound to connect with the energy of the full moon and promote physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. The ritual involves several steps to create a peaceful and focused atmosphere, set your intention, and make sound.

In your quiet space make sure you have a singing bowl, chimes or drums for making sounds.

Set your intention for the ritual by focusing on what you hope to release, heal, or manifest. You can write your intention down in your journal or meditate on it to clarify your focus.

You can also visualize light and energy flowing into your body and filling you with a sense of peace and well-being as you make sound. Express gratitude for the healing energy you have received, and take a few moments to simply be still and silent.

When you feel ready to end the full moon ritual slowly bring the sound making to a stop and take a deep breath. Thank yourself for taking the time to heal and focus on your well-being. 

Tarot Reading

This is a practice of doing tarot readings during the full moon, to gain insight and guidance on personal growth, manifestation, and intention setting.

A full moon oracle card reading ritual is a way to tap into the energy of the full moon to gain insight and guidance for the upcoming month. 

To perform this full moon ritual yourself, you will need an oracle card deck of your choice and a comfortable place to sit and can focus on your tarot reading. Gather your tarot deck, journal, and any other tools you may need.

Next, you will set your intention for the reading by focusing on what you hope to gain insight or understanding about. Feel free to ask anything, it doesn’t have to be specific. You can write your intention down in your journal to clarify your focus.

After setting your intention, you will shuffle your tarot deck and focus on your intention as you do so. This helps to infuse the cards with your energy and create a connection with the full moon. You can then choose the number of cards you want to use for your reading and lay them out in a specific spread or in any way that feels right to you.

As you look at each card, reflect on the symbols and messages they contain, and write down any insights or feelings that come to you. You can also use your intuition to interpret the cards and connect with the full moon’s energy.

Finally, take a moment to reflect on the reading, allowing the messages and insights to sink in. Express gratitude for the guidance and insights you received, and put your journal and tarot deck away.

Performing Spells 

The full moon ritual of performing spells is a powerful practice that has been used for centuries to manifest desired changes in one’s life.

Women have been concocting a variety of magical mixtures and incantations to draw in whatever we need and to offer ourselves the highest potential for accomplishment and joy. Magic can help us recognize the beauty and secrets that encircle us in our everyday lives.

Also, NEVER  use spells and rituals to harm anyone or to control others’ free will.

This is an example of a potent and successful spell that is easy and straightforward to cast.

When It’s Time To Say Goodbye Spell

Sometimes, we know that the relationship is over, but can’t seem to let go. 

This spell will help heal an aching heart and get you back on track in no time. 

Relax by taking a few deep breaths. 

Hold the egg lightly in one hand and repeat this chant:

“I now let go of all unhappiness and heartache, I receive love from the universe, and I deserve love and inner peace.”

As you look in the mirror, roll the egg lightly over your forehead and imagine sending all negative thoughts and feelings into it. 

Now throw the egg into the garbage.

It is important to note that while this practice can be incredibly effective, it is essential to ensure that the spell and intention are carefully crafted, especially if you start creating your own.

Herbal Magic

Herbal magic is a practice that involves using herbs and plants associated with the full moon to create spells, potions, or charms. 

Prepare the herbs as you want, either for tea, infused oil, or simply placing them in a sachet or charm.

Take a moment to focus your intention on what you want to achieve with the herbs. This could be done through visualization, affirmations, or simply by holding the herbs and feeling the intention within you.

Physically use the herbs in your spell, potion, or charm. You could drink the tea, anoint yourself with the oil, or wear the sachet.

Close this full moon ritual by giving gratitude for the power of the herbs and the full moon, and by affirming your intention.

Joining Wiccan and Pagan Communities

Full moon rituals are a common practice in Wiccan and Pagan communities, where they are seen as a way to connect with the natural cycles of the moon and the earth. 

Full moon rituals usually consist of:

• Meditation and visualization, where participants focus their energy and intention on their goals and desires.

• Chanting, singing, and drumming, which can help to create a sense of community and raise collective energy.

• Offerings, such as flowers, fruits, or incense, which are made to the gods or goddesses as a symbol of respect and gratitude.

• Spell casting, where participants use the full moon’s energy to focus their intention and manifestation.

This full moon ritual offers a vibrant and diverse spiritual environment. Participating in a communal ritual can bring a sense of connection and community as well as provides exposure to a range of beliefs and practices.

The act of participating in rituals with others can help to foster a sense of unity and build bonds, both of which can have positive effects on personal growth and well-being.

Planting and Tending to Crops or Gardens

Gardening by the light of the full moon has been a traditional practice for many cultures, with the belief that it can bring good luck and positive energy to the crops. 

Some gardeners believe that the increased light from the full moon helps to stimulate plant growth, while others plant by the full moon as a spiritual or superstitious ritual. 

However, there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that gardening during a full moon has any effect on crop growth or yield. 

Basil and other herbs are believed to bring positive energy and good luck. Flowers like marigolds are thought to promote happiness and relaxation.

Planting is up to your personal preference and your local growing conditions.

Regardless, gardening is a peaceful and rewarding activity that can be enjoyed under the light of the full moon or during any other time of the day.

Make Your Own Full Moon Ritual 

Developing your own full moon ritual is an empowering experience that allows you to connect with yourself and discover the beauty of the night. 

By taking the time to create something meaningful and personal, you can bring forth a sense of serenity and peace that will serve as a reminder for your spiritual journey. 

Whether you prefer to meditate, light some candles, or just sit outside under the stars, take moments throughout your full moon ritual to reflect on how far you have come and what intentions need to be set for the future.  

Invoking the power of the full moon can help you unlock your inner potential and bring forth a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world.

There is no right or wrong way, it’s all about what feels special and comfortable to you.

These rituals can vary and can be as simple as setting an intention or as complex as performing a ceremony.

These full moon rituals have the power to transform your life, so take advantage of the energy of the Universe and let it transform you. 

Align yourself with desired goals and desires, and taking action towards them is key to personal growth and progress.
