Weekly Essential: Full Moon Ritual March 2018

I don't know about you but I love the full moon, but since last month I have been a mess. I am looking forward to this month's ritual. It has been a crazy few months since the solar eclipse and I read that it would effect us through February and it sure did me.

I have had my trials and had a rough couple of months but feeling so much better as this full moon approaches. I know I am not alone as we are all going through transformations in some way, hardships, learning, growing, letting things go and awakening. Are you ready for this months full moon? Oh yes and we get two this month, some of you may be wondering what a Blue moon is, it is where two full moons happen in one month.

The March 1^st-2^nd full moon falls 11 degrees Virgo and is going to bring grounding energy that will help us know where we need to focus our attention. Since the start of the year we have been experiencing a lot of transformation energy with the potent Eclipses, and now that the energy is starting to simmer, we are perhaps starting to feel a little more directed.

If you have felt uncertain about where to focus your energy, or you have been unsure on how to proceed, this Virgo Full Moon is going to light your way, and will be a guiding hand to point you in the right direction.

This ritual is designed to help you tune in and welcome this energy into your life. This ritual will help to gently open you up so you can feel guided and confident about the path ahead. This is a great ritual to do to help you get on the right track with your life. We have spent the last few months on letting go, now it is time to get back on track.

Virgo Full Moon Ritual for Getting on Track

This ritual is best done between March 1st- 9th, 2018.

You will need:

· Your favorite smudging tool (I am digging the California white sage)

· Candle (purple, blue or white is preferable but you can use whatever you have)

· 3 of your favorite crystals (love the Rose Quartz, Smokey Quartz, Clear Quartz)

· Pen and 3 pieces of paper

· Essential oils of choice (I recommend the Balance Grounding Blend, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Myrrh, Cypress, Ylang Ylang and Patchouli.

Directions:

1. To choose your crystals, close your eyes and ask yourself what crystal would be most beneficial to you right now. Open your eyes and pick the three crystal that you gravitate towards.

2. Start by smudging your aura and surroundings using sage or whatever smudging tool you prefer. For more instructions on how to do this, read this. As you cleanse your aura, recite the following mantra or write your own-

“I cleanse and release all old and heavy weight from the past. I cleanse and release all that is weighing me down and stopping me from moving forward. I release all self-doubt and worries, and I replace them with love, confidence, and motivation to move forward. All the heaviness has melted away, I am now reset, I am now on track with my life, I am now being guided towards my highest path.”

3. Light your candle and place it on a table or altar. Put your crystals around your candle in a triangle shape. (If you don’t have crystals you can substitute using natural rocks from the garden or flowers/leaves)

4. Lay down, sit cross-legged, or sit on chair with you feet on the ground. Close your eyes and take 11 deep breaths in and out. As you breathe, imagine filling your body with a beautiful white light on every inhale, and exhaling out any heaviness as a black smoke.

5. Pick up one of your crystals and hold it for a moment. Holding the crystal, close your eyes and ask yourself- “I feel most on track in my life when…” notice any thoughts or feelings that arise, or notice the first words that your hear/feel/think. Repeat this for all three crystals.

6. Once you have the three responses, write each of them down on a separate piece of paper. Fold the paper and place it under each crystal. Arrange your crystals and the papers back into the triangle configuration around the candle.

7. Now add a few drops of essential oils of choice in your hands, rub together and inhale, then take another 11 deep breaths to calm and settle yourself. Close your eyes, and placing your hand over your heart, make a promise to yourself that you are going to do the best you can to listen to the wisdom you received today so you can feel more on track with your life.

Here is a mantra to help but you can definitely write your own or run with it in the moment. (It is best if this is said out loud)-

“I am going to do my best to bring (insert here) into my life so I can feel on track. I know I am supported and guided on this mission, and I know that I am always on track as long as I am listening to and loving myself. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”

8. Leave the candle burning for as long as you are around to attend to it. When you are ready, snuff out the candle but leave the crystals and papers out overnight. In the morning you can keep the papers in a safe space or burn/discard them if you wish.

9. For the next 3 nights sleep next to your crystals, use your essential oils and meditate in order to keep receiving their guiding/Full Moon energy.

Enjoy this Full Moon!
