Full Moons are the highlight of the lunar cycle and mark the halfway point. The period from the New Moon to the Full Moon is the Waxing half of the cycle. As the moon grows in the sky we take action to grow the things we want more of in our lives and business. After the Full Moon, the moon appears to shrink in the sky. She always remains the same size, but during the Waning half of the cycle, she slowly moves into shadow.
The Waning half of the cycle is a less productive period. It is a time for inner reflection and to review how things have gone. This is also the time when we seek to remove things from our life and business that no longer serve us and create space for the new things we wish to add in the next cycle.
Full Moons are, first of all, a celebration. This is the time to celebrate all the progress you have made. If the New Moon is when we plant the seeds of our dreams, then the Full Moon is when we harvest the fruits of our labour. So often in life and business, we are so focused on the end goal that we forget to celebrate all the little wins along the way.
Full Moons are also a time to release the things we no longer need. Remember that list of challenges you started after the New Moon? It’s time to go through it. What obstacles did you face? Have you managed to overcome them? And if not, can you do so now?
When the moon is at her biggest and brightest, she shines a light on the deepest parts of us that we keep hidden, as well as bringing our emotions to the surface. This is why release work is best done on the Full Moon. We can process and work through our emotions while they are at the top and we don’t need to dig to uncover them.
Have you picked up any bad habits over the last couple of weeks that you need to end now? Or do you have any long-standing habits that just aren’t working for you any more? All of these things that you no longer need can be released on the Full Moon.
Set some time aside and take a few deep breaths. Breathe in for four, hold for four, breathe out for four and hold for four. Now think about and write down all the things that are bothering you, all the bad habits you need to end, and all the challenges and obstacles you have faced. Write as much detail as you can. The point of this exercise is to empty these things from your mind, you no longer need them. Do you have any stories or beliefs that are holding you back? Telling you that you can’t do something? Write them down as well.
Now you have emptied your mind and heart of the things holding you back and that you no longer need onto paper, burn it. Do this safely over the kitchen sink or in the garden. And watch the paper as it coils and burns. Watch the smoke drift away, that is all your worries floating away. They are been released into the universe where they can be changed into something more useful.
If you don’t want to burn your list then put it in a glass of water and watch as the ink runs off the page. Imagine your worries washing away. Both fire and water are great cleansers.
Now that you have created space inside of yourself, fill up that space with gratitude and love. Focus on the things you are celebrating, focus on the people around you supporting you, and focus on celebrating your clients and customers.
To support this spiritual and energetic cleansing, you may also want to tidy and declutter your office or workspace. File away your paperwork, give your laptop a dust and remove any distractions that are taking up space on your desk.
I hope you have found this week's blog helpful, the next Full Moon is on Monday 3rd July at 12.38pm. It is best to do any Full Moon Release work after the moon has reached her peak.
