The Release: A Simple Full Moon Ritual

With such BIG cosmic and collective energy and change occurring right now, it is time to take a few minutes to RELEASE what is no longer serving us and the Full Moon is the time to do that. While we set intentions during the New Moon, a time of promise and goal setting, the Full Moon is when we purge and release the negativity or poor habits that keep us from reaching our goals and raising our vibration to draw in that positive energy and outcomes.

Here is a simple Full Moon Ritual to get on track to living our lives more authentically and in alignment with our truest self.

Full Moon Ritual:

• Clear your home or a small space to practice this ritual (our Spiritual Spunk Start box will help you set up a sacred spiritual space - look out of it later this summer).

• Light some candles, burn some incense or some sage or Palo Santo to clear the energy

• Use crystals to make your ritual more meaningful, for example

Clear Quartz- set intentions

Rose Quartz- love

Amethyst- balance

Labradorite- good fortune, financial gain

Citrine- joy & happiness

• Have a pen and pieces of paper to write what you would like to release

• Simply write out all that you want to release, some examples are, "I release drinking too much alcohol" or "I release eating sugar" or "I release negative self-talk"

• Be sure to limit your release statements to ten items

• Then burn each statement, or the one paper you wrote these statements on, in a small bowl or outside in a fire (this is my favorite way to release)

• If you burn your release statements in a bowl bring them outside and peacefully dump them into the wind or burry them in the Earth wishing them to go to serve your highest good

That's it. It is a really simple process. I suggest journaling for the next two weeks to see if this ritual has had an impact on your soul, what you attract into your life, and how you feel about the process.

Peace, love, & happy releasing!
