If you have been following my blog, then you are aware of utilizing the Moon for manifesting. But did you know you can use the energy of the Full Moon to release things that no longer serve you? Yep!! It is true. The Full Moon is the best time to get rid of those burdens that are weighing you down. How do you expect to grow into the magical bitch you were manifesting on the New Moon when you have shit holding you back? Simply put, you can't!
But I am here to help you get that "light body" you need in order reach your higher self.
When I say "light body" I am not referring to weight. You can be a fluffy gal and still be a "light body". When we have unhealed trauma, heartbreak, depression, etc.. our hearts are heavy and our minds are too. Thus, weighing us down. We need to heal these inner wounds to achieve a lighter version of ourselves in order to vibrate higher!
Now, I am not promising healing is going to happen overnight or that I have some magick potion to make it all go away. Trust me, if I did... I would have drank that shit years ago!! It takes work and dedication, much like anything else you are trying to accomplish. But it will be so worth it when you finally face these demons and realize they serve absolutely no purpose for you. They are only holding you back. You don't need anymore gravity, baby!! It is time for you to elevate!
So, how do you use the power of the Full Moon to release these burdens? I gotchu.
Firstly, you need to know when the Full Moon takes place, each month. I have posted a calendar below for all lunar phases. Just save it to your phone. This will help you keep track of which days you want to do your rituals on. Secondly, go to your peaceful place. I personally have a room designated to my magickal time, but where ever you go to find peace, that works. To make it more serene, you can light candles, have soft music playing, burn incense... you know, whatever your vibe is, do that.
Next, you are going to clear your mind the best you can. Whether you want to meditate or just do some breathing exercises, that is perfectly fine. Once you have cleared your mental space, I want you to think about the things you asked for during the last New Moon. Did you manifest your desires? Or did you fall short of them coming to fruition? If you received your "wishes" I want you to give thanks to the Universe/ God/ Divine (whatever you believe in) for trusting you enough to bless you. Even if you did not obtain your New Moon manifestations, I want you to give thanks. "I trust your divine timing Universe and know that you will not bless me with anything I am not currently ready for. Thank you for having my best interest at heart". I want you to reflect on what it was you were trying to achieve during the New Moon. Did you do everything you could have in order to bring these blessings forth or did you just make a wish and walk away? See what course correcting you need to do.
With that out of the way, you are now going to turn your focus inward. How are you feeling? What are some things that are bothering you? What are things you wish to rid yourself of? How would you feel without having these burdens? Write them down!! But be aware of how you are wording them. For example:
"I am comfortable releasing my childhood trauma. I know what has happened to me was not my fault. I am removing all negative thoughts I have about myself, because I am better than that. I am cutting my connection to toxic relationships in my life, so people that are truly meant for me can come in. I am free from the burden of depression. Worry serves me no good and is no longer welcome in my thoughts. I am releasing the need to be in control. I understand I am only in control of my actions, nothing else".
It does not have to be exact, but let the Universe know you feel safe trusting you will be taken care of. No matter the burdens you want to release, write them all down. You will not be judged for them because only you and Spirit will know. As you are writing, you must feel these weights being lifted from you. Envision how freeing it is will be to no longer carry these burdens around.
Once you are finished, you are going to fold the paper AWAY FROM YOU 3 times. Now, turn it counter-clockwise 1 turn and fold another 3 times away from you. As you are folding, you are going to imagine these issues being pushed away from you. Feel that light body coming into play. You can even say "I am pushing these things that no longer serve me, out of my life" as you are folding the paper. Next, take this paper OUTSIDE and set that bitch on fire. Literally! Yes, outside!! I am not responsible for you setting your basement on fire because you didn't want to listen. You want to light the paper in the direction of the wind so it can be carried away from you. Again, you can speak to the paper as you light it and while it burns. The goal is to imagine the wind carrying all of your burdens away as it burns up in flames, to make you feel lighter.
Thank the Universe/God/ Divine or whatever for taking these burdens and making room for blessings to come into your life. I said earlier that this will not happen overnight. So please do not expect to be free of these issues that very instant. It is now up to you to remain focused on becoming that lighter version of yourself and break old habits that stunt your personal growth. When Spirit sees you doing the Shadow Work or dirty work, you will see major transformations coming into your life.
Please be advised, Shadow Work is not pretty. It is anything but! You will realize a lot of your personality traits have formed due to unhealed trauma. You will notice people walking out of your life, but DO NOT CHASE THEM!! Some of your enemies are disguised as friends. You will be cutting cords with toxic people, bad memories and sometimes, even versions of yourself. You will cry a lot, but that is only to cleanse your soul. Nothing more!! You are healing and it is going to be the most hurtful, tragic, saddest, triumphant experience for your soul. But you can bet that glorious ass of yours, it will be worth every tear you shed!
I am rooting for you, boo!!
Smooches,
