As we navigate our daily lives, we unknowingly absorb various energies—both positive and negative—which we then radiate outward. Reflecting on these internal energies can be beneficial, but it's also crucial to release fears and self-criticism.
A full moon is the perfect time for letting go of unwanted energy and starting fresh. Here’s how you can harness the power of a full moon for a spiritual cleanse:
Full Moon Cleansing Ritual with Palo Santo
A full moon cleansing using fire and smoke can profoundly impact our mental state. Lighting incense or smudge sticks activates our brains and aligns our thoughts with the elemental force of air. Here’s what you’ll need:
- A stick of Palo Santo
- A smudging bowl or plate
- A list of thoughts or vows you’d like to break or make
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare Your Space: Burn a stick of Palo Santo in a comfortable, peaceful room. Ensure the room is well-ventilated to help disperse the incense smoke.
- Chant a Mantra: Chant your chosen mantra for about 20 minutes to clear your mind.
- Focus on Energy Release: Honestly assess any negative energy affecting you. Tell this energy to disperse. Some find it helpful to write down negative thoughts and burn them as a symbolic release.
Reflecting on your thoughts and examining your mind can be soul-cleansing. Regular full moon cleansings might be just what you need to boost self-awareness and re-energize your spirit.
Embrace the full moon and let go of what no longer serves you. 🌕🕊️
