What You Will Need:
- A quiet, sacred space where you won’t be disturbed
- A bowl of water
- A white or silver candle
- Salt or sea salt
- A piece of paper and a pen
- Your favorite crystals (optional)
Step 1: Create Your Sacred Space
Find a quiet space where you can perform your ritual. Light the candle to bring in the energy of the full moon and create a calming atmosphere. If possible, choose a spot where you can see the moon shining. This connection with the moon’s light is crucial for your ritual.
Step 2: Prepare the Water
Take the bowl of water and add a pinch of salt to it. This mixture will help in cleansing any negative energy. Stir the mixture gently while visualizing the water absorbing any negativity you wish to release.
Step 3: Write Down What You Want to Release
Take a piece of paper and write down the negative feelings, thoughts, or situations you want to let go of. Be specific! This act of writing is a powerful way to declare your intentions to the universe.
Step 4: Perform the Cleansing
Hold the piece of paper over the bowl of water and say a cleansing prayer or affirmation. You can say something like:
“With the energy of the full moon, I release these negative energies. They no longer serve me.”
Then, dip the paper into the water and imagine all negativity dissolving into it. Once you feel ready, take the paper out, and let it dry.
Step 5: Honor the Full Moon
Thank the moon for its energy and support. You can place your crystals around the bowl of water, allowing them to absorb the cleansing energy. Keep your candle lit for a little longer, meditating on the positive energies you want to invite into your life.
When you’re finished, you can either dispose of the paper by burying it in the earth or burning it safely, symbolizing the release of what no longer serves you.
Final Thoughts
Performing a full moon cleansing ritual can be a beautiful way to reset your energy and invite in positivity. Remember, the intention you set during the ritual is powerful, so take your time and let the energy flow.
