Why I Hold a Full Moon Ceremony Every Month?

I’m gonna be talking about why I do a full moon ceremony every single month?. There’s a lot of talk about full moons and new moons and all of this in terms of astrology. I’m going to talk about the actual full moon ceremony itself and the potency of the full moon.

What does Feng Shui have to do with full moons? And why do I do these full moon things? Well, first of all, if we just look at the moon and sometimes it is in full bloom and full and other times it is totally dark. Feng Shui philosophy really is connected to the energy of yin and yang. So basically, the moon epitomizes one of the core foundations ofFeng Shui philosophy. It is all about creating balance and harmony in our lives and our journey is all about really moving with the cycles of life and the cycles of the moon. I love honoring the full moon and all of the different times of the moon cycle because as a woman, I also have my own personal cycles, and sometimes they’re really in sync with the moon and other times they’re not, but that’s okay. It’s just really realizing that life operates in cycles, just like the moon, like Feng Shui, like our bodies. 

So let’s talk a little bit about the full moon itself, the full moon is the time of Yang. It’s the most Yang time. It’s the most kind of expressive version of the moon. It’s the time when it’s really shining your light, for expressing yourself as much as possible, and also it’s the time for birthing and realizing. In the New Moon period when it’s the Dark Moon coming up to the Dark Moon is the time for clearing any icky things and toxicity before you plant the seeds of intention. The New Moon is the time that you think of this dream or this intention and you plant it in the beautiful fertile ground just like you’re planting it into the soil. Then what happens is over the next cycle to the full moon, the full moon starts to grow and you start to tend to your intentions and then the full moon it starts to birth it. So even interestingly enough a lot more people gives birth during a full moon as well, even the tides are impacted by the full moon. 

If we go to the water, the ocean at a time when there’s a full moon, the tides are much higher than they would be at other times of the year. Just knowing and realizing the impact on the moon has on the tide. Can you imagine what is happening to us as well? Sometimes with a full moon it is a good time to party, but it’s also a really good time to release. What do we do when it comes to a full moon ceremony? I love doing very simple ceremonies, we might kind of think you might get a little bit put off by the idea of ceremony or ritual and don’t be creeped out at all. Actually, all it is is doing a little personal ritual for you to honor the cycle of the moon which is going to be impacting us and when you do that, you can start to see amazing things. So one of my practices over the last, like maybe 18 years, every new moon I always wrote my new moon intentions and every full moon I’ve written some things I want to let go off, with a full moon you can go all fancy and get some nice things for yourself. Get a candle, maybe some sage and Palo Santo. You could light yourself a little fire if you wanted or just a candle to symbolize it and maybe just meditate with the fire on to really see and allow the energy of the fire to burn away any toxicity, anything that you need to release, and you could write it down. I’m a big fan of writing it down and then burn it. So when you burn those things, you’re transmuting it and you’re letting it go from your system, and then you’re just making space for new things. 

A lot of people like to bathe in the full moon so if you have the full moon you can go out and lie out and bathe in the full moon or even go have a bath like literally have a bath and allow yourself to soak in that idea because the energy of the full moon is going to be impacting you anyways and allow the bath to just wash away anything that you need to let go off and see it all just go down the drain and goodbye.
