As the full moon approaches, and a new calendar year has begun, now is the perfect time to reflect on the previous year and to think, not about what goals you want to tackle over the next 12 months, but more about what you no longer want to hold on to.
What would you like to release from your life?
The full moon has always been a time of reflection and release. It is said the fullness of light will shine on things (ideas, limiting beliefs, negative habits, people, grudges, grief, anger, or any form of discontent you are holding on to) that no longer serve you.
Letting go will allow more space for growth, renewal, and new intentions. It’s not about deleting or depleting anything from your life. It’s more about stepping into a better version of who you want to be. Allowing the old, outdated, and limiting parts of who you were to fall away.
Here are some full moon rituals or practices you can utilize to help you shift:
1. Journaling
✏️ What am I ready to release?
✏️ What is causing me to feel stressed or overwhelmed?
✏️ What do I need to focus on moving forward?
✏️ What current habits are not serving me?
✏️ What is something that has been holding me back recently?
✏️ What truths do I need to face?
2. Take a relaxing bath - envisioning the old washing down the drain.
3. Add movement - dance, stretch, do yoga, exercise
4. Light a candle🕯️or burn sage in your home - setting an intention as you do so
5. Meditate - there are lots of free full moon meditations (I love Insight Timer)
6. Focus on an affirmation:
✨ I release all energies that no longer serve my highest good.
✨ I let go of fear, doubt, and old patterns with ease.
✨ I trust in the divine timing of my life.
✨ I welcome clarity, wisdom, and guidance from the Universe.
Do what feels comfortable to you. There is no right or wrong way to honor this release. It is for you and your growth and expansion.
If you would like help on learning how to release or shift your habits or beliefs I’d be happy to talk with you. I can help you figure out what’s holding you back and why. 💛
