If the New Moon is a time for growth and manifesting then the Full Moon is a time for death and releasing. During the days following the full moon, the moon appears to be decreasing. As it decreases, it takes with it anything that is no longer desired. It is a great time to release that which no longer serves us such as addictions, unhealthy relationships, fear, etc.
For most people, the full moon conjures up images of werewolves, zombies, and other scary creatures. Don’t let this deter you from using the full moon to your advantage. You can however, keep some of the drama of the full moon by using one of the quick rituals/ceremonies below or maybe creating your own. As always, intention is everything. Be clear about what it is you want to release. Start your ceremony from centered awareness. Meditation or prayer may be helpful before beginning the ritual.
Full moon ceremonies typically center on the elements so here are a few quick rituals for working with the elements during the full moon. Write down what it is that you want to release on paper. Then,
Earth - Bury the paper in the ground as a symbol for burying the issues.
Fire – Set the paper ablaze! This destroys the issues. Be safe of course… This works best in the outdoors – not near anything flammable…
Water – Submerge the paper in water until the paper dissolves. This symbolizes the drowning of the issues.
Air – Tear the paper to bits. Take your bits of paper outdoors. Wait for a hefty wind to come along and throw your bits of paper into the wind. This scatters the energy of your issues.
Try to stay upbeat and lighthearted during your ceremonies. I know this is contrary to the vision of full moon ceremonies but light-heartedness carries a higher vibration than seriousness. The higher vibrations will help your desired outcome manifest for you sooner.
