Moon’s importance and influence in spirituality and astrology is tremendous. It is directly connected with one’s mind, and its phases depict the transitions one goes through in their inner world. Ancient Egyptian, Greek and Asian cultures have long associated the full moon with an opportunity to affirm and pay gratitude to the universe. Want to make the most of this lunar energy before the Sturgeon Moon appears on 19 August? Here are some full moon rituals for manifestation that can help usher in wealth and good fortune, stabilise relationships and bring peace into your life.
Why is the full moon important for manifestation?
A lunar cycle — the time taken for the Moon’s orbit around the Earth — is around 29.5 days. A full moon occurs when the Sun and Moon are on opposite sides of our planet. Because of this positioning, the Moon is completely illuminated by the Sun, making it appear brighter and bigger from our vantage point.
At this point, the lunar energy is considered to be at the highest level. Wiccan culture associated the rise of witches and werewolves during this period, symbolising the emotional intensity and power of one’s mind taking over their entire being. This is the best time to recharge spiritually, meditate and manifest.
The full moon represents and highlights the themes of transformation, regeneration and new beginnings.
Best full moon rituals for manifestation, increasing wealth and personal growth
Moon bathing
Full moons are the best time to make moon water, which could be used for drinking, watering plants and bathing. To do this, take water in a tub or a container of choice. Keep it in the moonlight, preferably outside the house on the porch overnight, and let it soak up the powerful moon energy. Use the water for a desired purpose.
Charging of crystals
Those who wear and use crystals for manifestation need to charge them every once in a while to enhance their powers for more effectiveness. A full moon night is considered auspicious to recharge your crystals, oracle and tarot decks.
One needs to place the objects in a container filled with salt and it is recommended that it be kept on the window sill where the moon’s energies directly come in contact with the crystals.
Journaling
Manifestations go hand-in-hand with expressing gratitude to the universe for everything. Journaling keeps the mind clear, which is necessary during the emotionally intense period of the full moon. It is important to count your blessings and be kind to others.
Participating in a Moon cycle
A Moon cycle with like-minded people on a full moon’s night is therapeutic and cathartic. The main purpose of this is to affirm and release emotions and thoughts from the past that no longer serve you. A circle of friends loudly affirming a better future and letting go of hurtful things in an honest and safe space is a powerfully beneficial ritual.
Cleansing your aura
You could approach a healer to get your aura cleansed or attempt this ritual themselves. A fairly simple method, take a salt-water bath on the full moon’s night. This should be followed by the visualisation of the moonlight washing over you and meditation. Burning sage will also help you burn away negativity and clean the energy of your house or a particular room.
Tarot card reading
Besides charging your decks, this is also an ideal time to get a reading done. Tarot or oracle card reading during this time is considered more accurate as our spiritual energies are more centred.
Meditation
Meditating during the full moon is an important act, which ideally should be followed by every other ritual done during this period. It helps in calming yourself and mindfully focusing mental energy towards progress, self-growth and healing.
Dos and don’ts during the full moon
-Setting clear intentions is an important full moon ritual before manifesting. One mustn’t ignore their intentions. Listen to yourself before manifesting.
-Do not focus on the past. Full moons allow cutting out unpleasant memories of the past and help you begin afresh.
-What goes around comes around according to the universal karma theory. So, it is best to be mindful of your actions.
-Be open to accepting, changing and transforming yourself.
-Draw healthy boundaries and preserve yourself as we tend to get over-emotional, which can be easily hurtful.
