Letting Go to Receive Clarity: My Regular Full Moon Ritual

While the New Moon is about setting intentions and manifesting, the Full Moon is all about letting go of what hasn’t served us to make room for what will.

What is holding me back?

What do I need to release in order to make room for what I want?

It’s like a closet. There is only so much room! If we want new clothes, we have to purge old ones. We can hope, dream, wish, desire, and manifest all we want, but we also must show the Universe we are ready to reach the next level of ourselves and find higher energy by releasing what isn’t working for us anymore.

You can’t take your old self with you.

I speak more about this in the series The Path Back You.

I talk more about rituals in my New Moon Ritual blog. The important thing, whether you copy my ritual exactly or find a practice that works for you, is that you pair a physical action with an internal reality. This is the importance of ritual.

To have our bodies usher our spirits into a new reality.

In some ways, New Moon and Full Moon rituals are similar in that they follow a specific and intentional pattern and flow. But in other ways, they’re totally different because the intended purposes are totally different.
