A Full Moon Meditation to harness Lunar Energy

The full moon is one of the most powerful phases of this celestial body. When the moon becomes illuminated fully, it casts a beautiful ray of moonlight throughout the night, energizing everyone and everything that it touches. Unlike the new moon, which is a time for planning and dreaming, a full moon is a time to experience the manifestations of all your past efforts. 

A full moon meditation helps you harness this energy and use it to heal yourself and manifest your desires. Read on to learn how it works and how you can do it.

Why a Full Moon Meditation can help you

If you observe yourself and the world around you closely, you will notice that everything goes in cycles. All aspects of nature, from the seasons to the processes of the human body behave this way, and the moon is no exception.

If you are developed in your spiritual practice, you already know that everything is connected. So, you do not exist independently of anything else, especially not the Moon. The lunar energy of the moon has quite an effect on your psyche and spirit, and it can either help you or work against you.

By engaging in a Full Moon meditation, you can align your spiritual rhythm with the stages of the moon. This keeps you in synch with the powerful lunar energy that can keep you on an even-keel.

Full Moon Spiritual Energy

Pay attention to the different moon phases and how they affect your mind, emotions, and energy. During a full moon, it may be more difficult to fall asleep at night due to the increase in lunar energy around you. 

During this lunar phase, you can feel its energy for the day before, the day of, and the day after. The moon cycles correlate to powerful energy that you can use in your manifestations. 

The full moon lunar cycle asks you to be open to receiving, as this is one of the most important aspects of manifestation.

You may experience negative emotions and thoughts being stripped away from you by the energy of the moon, making room for more beneficial experiences. 

You may experience the manifestation of new projects, spiritual healing, prosperity, and other powerful effects from the moon. 

Full Moon Intentions

When you're working with the full moon energy, one of the best ways is to set intentions.

Setting intentions helps direct your energy and allow the universe to understand what you truly desire.

Gratitude should always be expressed during a full moon as this helps magnify it and draw more experiences of gratitude and appreciation into your life. 

Think about a new chapter of your life; what do you want to carry with you? What do you want to let go of? You can create these into intentions for the full moon. Write them down in a moon journal and reflect on them throughout the rest of the month. Having your intentions in a journal can help you acknowledge any that have manifested and any that you may want to invest more energy into. 

Harnessing Full Moon Energy

There are many ways to harness the energy of the full moon. Moon water is an excellent tool you can use to contain this energy. 

Place a glass of water outside under the moonlight. This lunar light will charge the water and transmute it into the energy of the moon. You can bathe in this water, drink it, or use it in other practices to add full moon energy to your intentions. 

Full moons can also be harnessed through the use of meditation. Meditation is great for letting go of the physical space around you and tapping into the energy that abundantly exists. 

Full Moon Night Meditation

One of the best moon rituals is meditation. If you haven't meditated under the full moon, add this to your to-do list. 

Before you meditate, you'll want to cleanse your energy. You can do this by smudging around your body for a few minutes. You can also take a salt bath to help dissolve any negative energy attachments. 

Once you've cleansed your energy field, lay down flat on your back in a dimmed room with your eyes closed. 

Breathe in deeply, feeling your body relax deeper with each exhale. 

Continue breathing deeply for a few minutes. 

When you're fully relaxing, imagine a tiny white dot off in the distance. 

With each resting breath, draw the white dot closer into your view each time you inhale. 

As it approaches, you realize it's the full moon. 

Continue breathing at a normal pace, drawing in the moon until you begin to feel its energy radiating off of it. 

Now the moon is fully illuminated, and you're surrounded by the powerful magnetism of this lunar light. 

Feel the light penetrate your head and travel down through the rest of your body. Tune into the areas of your body that feel tight or stagnant. As the light travels through these areas, you can feel its power heal and release any discomfort. 

Now your body is full of this lunar magic. Feel it rushing through you, expanding all of the positive energy inside your body. 

The moon's energy brings forth intense feelings of gratitude and appreciation. Feel these feelings sweep over you, stirring up all of these emotions. 

Look deep into your soul and recognize everything you have to be grateful for. See these things in your mind's eye, and allow the moon's energy to energize them and magnify them in your life. 

Continue doing this until you no longer feel the need, and slowly come back into reality and open your eyes when ready. 

Full Moon Activation

The full moon helps all of your desires become activated and manifest into your reality.

Through meditation, you're about to set an intention and celebrate your current reality, which allows the universe to send you more of what you desire.

This is a powerful time to reap the many benefits of the moon, invite it into your energy field, and ask for its assistance in clearing away old energies, opening the door for freshness. 

If you're looking to work with the moon on a deeper level, consider following this full-moon meditation.

As you draw in the lunar light into your body, you establish a connection with the moon that you can feel throughout your 

Full Moon Self Care

Take care of yourself during the next full moon.

Take a moon bath, get enough sleep the night before, and spend time doing things you enjoy.

This is the perfect time to illuminate the life you desire, and there's no better way to set the tone for that than living and embodying it right now.

Celebrate where you're at in life, the people you have in it, and everything you've accomplished.

Reflect on the lessons you've learned and how they've helped grow you into the beautiful, full illumination of yourself.
