If you’ve followed me a while, you know that I love working with the Moon cycles to help me plan out certain events & biz moves. Learning how to tap into the influence of these powerful cycles will not only support & strengthen you spiritually, emotionally, mentally & physically, but also opens you up to a whole new world of magical possibility.
First, let’s talk about the energy of the New Moon. The new moon marks the beginning of the lunar cycle, which is why it carries the energy of new things to come. It’s a time when the sun, moon and Earth are all in alignment, and why the moon appears dark to us. How cool is that?! Talk about being in alignment!! The New Moon phase is all about:
- renewal
- washing away
- cleansing
- birthing
- creating
- new beginnings
- planting seeds/ plants
- starting new projects
So as you can see, it’s the PERFECT time for setting intentions, starting new projects and manifesting your dreams. Here’s a simple yet powerful ritual that doesn’t take long but can have a HUGE impact on your life over the next 2 weeks. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!
Simple steps to manifesting your heart’s desires:
1. First, gather your supplies:
Candle
Pen
NEW MOON MANIFESTATION GUIDE or Journal
Sage Bundle or Spray
Essential Oils (optional)
Crystals (optional)
2. Create a sacred space where you can spend some time meditating on your heart’s desires. Prepare yourself by taking a bath or shower to cleanse away any old energies from the previous month. Play some soft, gentle music that helps you feel peaceful and relaxed. I like to have some soothing lighting like a candle glowing softly. Smudge the space with sage or spray a cleansing elixir to clear the energies in the room.
3. Contemplate what you’d like to manifest and write your desires down on a sheet of paper. I use my moon ritual guide for this, but you can simply use a journal. Think about your chosen intention/s. How would it make you feel? What would it look like? Write it down.
4. Set the intention To finalize your new moon ritual, lay down somewhere comfortable and quiet to meditate on your intention/s. (If you’re using any crystals or essential oils, this is a good time to apply them or hold them in your hands.) Visualize and “see” yourself living out these ideals. Feel what it would feel like to actually be living this dream. What will you see? How will you feel? What tastes and smells will you experience? Let your mind wander…let yourself explore… Immerse your senses in the possibility that your vision has already come true!
5. Give thanks. Conclude this sacred time by giving thanks for all of the wonderful blessings already in your life and all those yet to come.
That’s it! Simple, yet powerful! I hope you enjoy this simple ceremony at the next New Moon. And if you have your own way of honoring the moon cycles using crystals, please post in the comments below. I ‘d love to hear from you!
