The Full Moon – Social Self-Care
THE FULL MOON
Full Moon - Culmination
Witchy Super Powers: Strength and Power
During this phase of the moon cycle your energy and confidence is at a peak.
Use this extra energy to take action to finalise any plans and you have, so that you can bring your dreams and desire in to being.
Things become fully illuminated during the full moon as she shines her light on areas you may have been keeping hidden.
Is there anyone that you need to forgive, including your own actions and in-actions, so that you can move on?
The SHEro’s Journey – The Significant Challenge
During this stage you are about to face a major hurdle or obstacle, it may push you more than you thought possible.
Part of you will die, maybe you will release an old belief about yourself.
You overcome this obstacle and you will never be the same again.
You have a greater belief in yourself, more confidence in your intuition and your abilities.
It’s time to celebrate your achievements.
Full Moon: Social Self Care
As the energy is at it’s peak, it’s the perfect time to spend more time with other people.
People that really nourish you and honour and respect your boundaries.
Spending time with people because you feel you ‘should’, it’s expected of you, or because you always have, is not self-care, it’s toxic, as they deplete you.
Surround yourself with people that inspire you, so that you can celebrate each other.
To support your Social Self-Care, you could:
- Spend quality time with people you love
- Share meals with people that you can have deep and meaningful conversations with
- Attend a Red Tent, or Women’s Circle, and allow your inner most thoughts, fears, and hopes, to be witnessed
- Attend a class or workshop that supports your deepest desires
- Arrange a party
Advice for Your Social-Self
This is a time of peak experience.
The moon is at her fullest and you are at your ‘ripest’.
It’s a time to focus on fulfilling your needs, desires and wishes.
It’s a time for celebrating.
You’re at your most powerful.
Use your voice to ask for what you want. Be unapologetic. Be clear.
Express yourself to the fullest.
Now is the time to be centre stage of your life.
Full Moon Ritual
You will need:
- 2 bowls, one suitable to hold water, one suitable to burn paper in
- 1 candle
- Some paper and a pen
Step 1. Clear your energy
Imagine standing under a silver waterfall and allow all negative energies to be washed away.
Step 2. Create a sacred space
Find a quiet place to sit, declutter and clean, you might like to place crystals or other special items around you, or cleanse the room with some incense.
Step 3. Set your space
Light a candle – I have 2″ candles for this purpose,
Fill a small bowl with water, and have another bowl suitable to burn a piece of paper in.
Place both bowls in front of you.
Step 4. Centre yourself
Take a few deep breaths, centre yourself.
Step 5. Release
Write on the piece of paper all that you wish to release from your life, what limiting beliefs do you want to be free from, what no longer serves you or what you want to let go of?
When you have finished your list, sign and date the page.
Breathe deep into your heart and declare “I now let this go. And it is so.”
Step 6. Let go
Place a corner of the piece of paper over the candle allowing the flame to light your page – place the page into the empty bowl as it burns, watching the flames consume what you are releasing, the smoke taking your intention to the Universe.
**if your piece of paper struggles to light or burn, consider if you are really ready to let this go! Only when you are willing to let go will the page burn – the faster the flames, the more willing you are to let it go…
Step 7. Cleanse
Then place your hands in the bowl of water. Signifying cleansing of the old and opening to the new.
Remove your hands from the water and take a deep breath.
Step 8. Assimilate
Sit in silence for a while and see if any inspiration comes. You may even want to journal around your thoughts.
Let your candle burn itself out.
