The Full Moon is said to symbolize different
things in various cultures, including the control of water as well as the
rhythm of time. The lunar cycle has, in time, also been attributed to the
various mental and emotional states of people. Do you know that the word
"lunatic" is a result of such symbolism!
At the Full Moon, the energy builds and builds....there's an
explosive outgoing aspect to it. That is a good reason to be aware when the next
Full Moon is coming and keep wisely control over your emotions. Why over your
emotions?
Recently I was telling a friend that Full Moon
has the same effect as Clear Quartz does, which is intensify the energies that
you are carrying. So try to be the most peaceful and happy during Full Moon and
those emotions would be expanded on you.
All of nature grows and is more vital at the Full
Moon. This surge allows you to take action on behalf of those new Moon
intentions you set two week prior (hope you did some intentions – if not just
wait for the next New Moon).
A Full Moon ritual might involve
taking one solid step, with a symbolic action. And it can be a powerful time to
release, unburden yourself, purge, cleaning, etc. Take the opportunity to step
out of old skin, identity, behavior, attitude, relationship that it is not helping
you to evolve. Consider to have a ritual which can helps you by marking this
inner transformation in a formal way.
A full Moon ritual might involve purification by one of the elements. Most often, it's
fire, and done by casting something you don't want into the flames.
One idea with Fire:
Prepare a safety fire
spot
1) Write what you're releasing down on a stick or piece of paper
2) Resolve to let go as you throw it into the fire.
3) Throw it into the fire.
This can be done as a group, with everyone sitting 'round the
fire...or in your own private ceremony. Each person can seal their action of
letting go by speaking it aloud, if there's trust in the circle.
One idea to get cleansing with Water:
Prepare a bowl filled
of water and flowers
1) Write what you're releasing down on a piece of paper
2) Resolve to let go as you throw it into the a bowl of water
3) Throw it into the water.
After reading aloud or silence our intention, you can put your
hands in the bowl to signify the cleansing of the old, to open to the new.
Mainly it worked because there are trust and energy involved to open
our heart and share our dreams. When that's there, you can evoke the magic of shifting consciousness at will because the support
is palpable.
