The moon is not only beautiful to look at, but it is also one of the most effective methods to manifest using the law of attraction principles. For millennia, many cultures have revered the moon and used it as a gateway to summon good fortune and send their prayers to the Universe.
The New Moon, as you may have guessed, represents new beginnings, and it is the ideal moment to ask for what you wish to materialize.
The Full Moon occurs at the end of the cycle and represents completeness. This is an excellent moment to let go of what no longer serves you to make room for the things you’ve prayed for to enter your life. The Full Moon provides an opportunity to release and let go of any bad feelings or barriers that are preventing you from achieving your goals.
This post will walk you through how to do a monthly moon ceremony. Before getting into the ritual, we’ll go through how the New Moon and Full Moon phases function. So, let’s start.
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION AND THE NEW MOON
When the sun and the moon align along the same astrological angle, the new moon occurs. In metaphysics, it is stated that when the sun and moon align in this fashion, the sun’s masculine energy merges with the moon’s feminine energy.
The new moon, being the first of the moon’s eight phases, is an excellent time to plant new seeds, i.e. set new intentions, and add new vitality into aspects of our lives that appear to be diminishing or plateauing.
The opportunity presented by the new moon is extremely potent. You should be very specific and cautious about how and what you ask for at this time.
It is normal for people to ask for material wealth, for instance. But we forget to ask that this desire be fulfilled in such a way that no one is harmed in the process.
As you set your goals for the things you want to materialize on the new moon, make sure to ask that they arrive pleasantly and healthily, bringing you nothing but joy.
Each year, there are only 12 new moons and 12 full moons, and you can get the new moon and full moon dates for your region by doing a short online search. Make a note of these dates on your calendar so you don’t lose out on the chance to plant the seeds of your dreams and see them through.
THE LAW OF ATTRACTION AND THE FULL MOON
When the sun’s masculine energy illuminates the entire face of the feminine moon, it is called a Full Moon. The Moon and Sun are sitting on opposite sides of the Earth at this time.
While seeing the new moon in the sky is impossible, you will be able to view the full moon in all its splendor as it illuminates the black skies.
The gravitational pull of a full moon on the Earth is strong, stirring up both creative and intuitive energies. The full moon was once thought to be the source of supernatural changes.
The full moon, like the sun, shines its rays on the moon, illuminating and emphasizing the things you’ve been working on since the new moon began.
This is an excellent time to reflect on your life, recognize what is working for you, and eliminate what isn’t.
TIPS ON HOW TO MANIFEST USING THE NEW MOON RITUAL
The new moon is a gift from the Universe, giving us the chance to start something new, exciting, and gratifying. There are numerous new moon rituals to choose from. To get you started, here’s a basic ritual. Feel free to change it to suit your needs.
THINK ABOUT YOUR GOALS
Consider what you wish to materialize a few days before the new moon. There’s nothing wrong with wanting a lot of things, but you might find it easier to concentrate if you limit your goals to five.
You have the option of writing down your intentions a few days before the new moon or on the new moon itself. It is, however, good to set aside some time before the new moon to get absolutely clear about your goals. When the new moon appears, you must be certain of your intentions. The reverse of faith is doubt or a split mind, and it will make manifesting your desires hard.
CLEANSE YOURSELF AS WELL AS YOUR SPACE
Cleanse both your body and the space where you will perform the ceremony before you begin. Cleansing is a powerful means to clear negative energies and barriers so that you can manifest what you want.
Burning dried sage leaves or a sage stick will cleanse and prepare your space. Setting the mood for your new moon ceremony can also be as simple as lighting candles and burning incense. You may find that listening to calm music puts you in the perfect frame of mind to manifest your desires, but if silence is your preference, go for it.
What matters most is to be intentional, even in your cleansing process as you prepare to manifest. Consider asking the Universe to allow you to clear the space to strengthen your manifesting ceremony using the new moon’s energy as you light your candles or burn incense.
Cleaning your body before the ceremony, besides purifying your sacred manifesting space, is a good idea. A peaceful salt bath (Epsom or sea salts) with some relaxing essential oils and scented candlelight will help you relax. Clear thinking will assist you in setting firm intentions that are in line with your highest good.
MAKE A LIST OF YOUR INTENTIONS
Writing down your desires has a lot of power. Your desires are brought from your subconscious mind to your conscious mind through this procedure. As a result, you’ll be able to put emotion into anything you’re trying to manifest. If you’ve studied the law of attraction, you know emotions are the most effective way to manifest your wishes and thoughts.
Make a list of the five things you want with a pen and a piece of paper. You can ask for anything, including relationship balance, creativity, new possibilities, a soulmate, and so on. It is critical that you feel you have the ability to manifest what you desire.
Undoubtedly, a small voice of doubt will emerge. This may cause you to question if your request is too big or too small. Recognize your biases, let them go, and keep writing your intentions.
You should also be very explicit about your requirements.
Concentrate on what you want rather than what you don’t want while you write. You should also articulate your desires or intentions using affirming sentences to show that you are already experiencing them. “I have a First-Class Master’s Degree,” for instance.
As previously stated, this is a feeling exercise as well as a writing practice. Feel each item as you make a list of your intentions. Consider how you’ll feel once you’ve got what you’re seeking.
Take your time with each intention and pay attention to what your heart has to say. Is there any opposition? If that’s the case, now is probably not the best moment to add this intention to your list.
It will be easier for you to feel as though you already have what you are asking for if you encounter less resistance. This is crucial to bringing your dreams to life.
SEND YOUR DESIRES TO THE COSMOS
There is much more power in reading your intentions aloud to the cosmos than there is in writing them down. This is yet another effective method for infusing your desires with feelings.
Ask the new moon to assist you in manifesting whatever it is you want in this lifetime before reciting your intentions. You can personalize your statements or say something along the lines of, “This, or more, now manifests for the highest good.”
Say a closing statement to the moon once you’ve finished reading out your intentions. “I accept transformation, I welcome abundance, I am ready to receive,” for instance, might be chanted. The greatest way to go is to personalize your words. If you need some help, look at a couple of new moon prayers and see which one appeals to you.
After you’ve finished speaking, sit quietly and imagine your intentions being sent up to the new moon. Feel it conspiring to bring your desires to fruition. Place your list of intentions on your nightstand or somewhere else where you’ll notice it when you wake up in the morning when you’re ready.
MAKE A MOTIVATED MOVE
It’s not enough to pray, chant, and execute the new moon ritual. You must also put in the effort. Keep in mind that your thoughts, feelings, and actions must all be in line with your goals.
Assume you asked the new moon for assistance in losing weight. If you continue to live an unhealthy lifestyle, you will not be able to achieve your goals. As the universe works for you, you must also perform the earthly effort necessary to achieve a healthy weight, which in this case may entail regular exercise, hydration, and the consumption of healthy foods.
Your emotions and speech, as well as your thinking, must be in sync with your intentions. You can’t go about thinking, feeling, or talking about how you’ve never been in love or how tough it is to find a spouse if you asked for a soulmate, for instance.
STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS TO PERFORM A FULL MOON RITUAL
The full moon allows us to expel energies that are no longer serving us. It’s also a splendid opportunity to complete your new moon intentions. This enables you to move on, let go, and trust the universe to take care of the rest.
- CLEANSE YOUR BODY AND SURROUNDINGS
You should perform your full moon ritual outside if possible. Before beginning the ritual, purify both your body and your surroundings in the same way you would before beginning the process.
2. SPEAK YOUR INTENTIONS
Declare your intentions to the full moon loudly. Infuse emotion into your recital and have entire faith that what you want is on its way to the utmost good of everyone concerned. At the end of your recital, say “And so be it, and so it is.”
3. SHOW GRATITUDE
Say a gratitude prayer to the full moon, thanking it for assisting you in achieving your goals. Feel free to personalize your prayer.
4. RELEASE AND JUST LET GO
Set fire to the sheet of paper with your intentions written on it. Keep an eye on the smoke as it rises to the full moon. Visualize your intentions coming to fruition as they become a reality.
The beauty of using the new moon and full moon rituals to materialize your wishes is that you don’t need any pricey diaries, valuable stones, or other tools.
You simply need to be in the moon’s presence and have complete faith that the cosmos is on your side.
These rituals are also not carved in stone; you can make your own chants, prayers, and cleansing practices using these instructions. This allows you to take ownership of and appreciate the ritual.
