Calming and Centering Ritual - October Full Moon Ritual
CALMING
and CENTERING FULL MOON Ritual. The Full Moon in October is the the Taurus Full Moon which falls on
October 24th, this full moon is going to help us to find our
strength. This is the strength that comes when we align with our center and
remain calm and open, even in situations that are volatile or difficult.
This Full Moon is not necessarily
going to conjure up challenges for you, but it may highlight and expose your
triggers and you could find yourself feeling off balance or out of sorts.
As an Earth sign, Taurus energy
wants us to be grounded and stable, it wants us to be strong so we can build
and create towers as tall and as magnificent as the sky. Essential oils for
Strength are Frankincense, Cedarwood and Rose.
Doing this ritual is going to get
those energies flowing of the Taurus Full Moon. It is also going to guide you
to find your calm and align with your center with yourself.
Full Moon Ritual for Calming and Centering
This
ritual is best done right after a shower or a bath, it can be done morning or
night. The energies are strongest for this ritual from October 21- November 4,
2018, however you can do it anytime that feels right for you.
You will
need:
·
Smudging Tool of choice
·
One Candle
·
Handful of Leaves or flowers, dried or live
·
1 Piece of Paper and a Pen
·
Essential Oils
Directions:
1. Begin
by smudging your aura and surroundings using the mantras below. As you smudge
your aura recite the following-
“I am
cleansing myself light and free. I am cleansing myself so I can be me. I am
cleansing away the struggles of my past, I am cleansing and opening my heart.
My heart is now open and I am aligned. My heart is now open and I am aligned.”
As you smudge your surroundings
recite the following-
“I
cleanse this space with light and loving energy. Only positive energy may enter
this space. I cleanse this space with light and loving energy. It is safe for
me to dwell here, it is safe for me to call this space home. My home is
cleansed and I am renewed. My home is cleansed and I am renewed.”
2. Next, start by putting a few
drops of essential oil of choice in your diffuser. . I really like earthy oils
for this ritual, like Frankincense, Sandalwood, Vetiver, Cedarwood, Arborvitae,
Douglas Fir, Siberian Fir, Cypress. But
you can use whatever you have on hand. Light your candle and place it on the
floor or on a table in front of you.
3. Take your piece of paper and
draw either a triangle, circle or heart on it. Choose whichever symbol speaks
to you the most. To help you with this choice, triangles represent the mind,
the body, and the spirit. Circles represent wholeness or completion, and hearts
represent love. If you wish, you can also draw another symbol that has
special meaning for you.
4. Place your candle on top of
your symbol. Try to place the candle so it is in the middle of the symbol. Take
your leaves or flowers, and place them around the paper so it looks pretty.
(Part of ritual work is the beauty of it too!)
5. Take a deep breath to settle
yourself. If you are sitting at a table, be sure that your feet are flat on the
floor. If you are on the floor, try to sit up cross-legged so you feel rooted
and connected to the ground.
6. Place your hands over your
heart center. You can also place them over your belly. Again, just use your
instincts as to where you are going to place them. Close your eyes and take 10 deep
breaths here.
7. Now
take one of the flowers/leaves in your left hand with palm facing up. Look at
the leaf/flower and repeat the following three times-
“The
energy of mother earth guides me as to what I need to release.”
8. Now take your hands in prayer
position so the leaf/flower is wedged between both hands. Close your eyes and
breath deeply here. Repeat to yourself the mantra again as best as you can
remember.
9. Still holding your leaf/flower,
stand up and shake out your body. As you shake imagine you are releasing and
letting go of any anxiety, any frustrations, any pains, any hurts. Just stand
up and shake it all out. Keep shaking and moving your body until you feel
released and cleansed. Trust that mother earth is helping you to release whatever
it is that needs to get out of your body.
10. Sit back down. Take your
leaf/flower that’s in your hand and exhale into it. Imagine exhaling the last
of any anxieties, frustrations or hurts. Just blow it all out into the
leaf/flower- it can handle it!
11. Place
that leaf/flower off to the side and pick up another one. Hold it in your right
hand this time with palm facing up. Look at the leaf/flower and repeat the
following three times-
“The
energy of mother earth supports and nourishes my soul.”
12. Once again, bring your hands
to prayer position. Close your eyes and take 9 deep breaths. 9 is the number of
completion. On your 10th inhale open your eyes, look at the leaf/flower in your
hand and imagine inhaling beautiful, supportive energy from mother earth.
Imagine that breath coming into your body and supporting and nourishing your
soul.
13. Place that flower/leaf off to
the side with the other one you just used.
14. Now gaze upon your candle, and
with hands in prayer position repeat the following or feel free to say whatever
you feel in the moment-
“I call
on my highest spiritual guides and angels to help me stay in my center and stay
in my calm. I know that mother earth is always guiding and protecting me and I
thank her for that. I thank you all divine spirits who have joined me in this
ritual today and have aided and supported me on my journey so far. Thank you.
Thank you. Thank you.”
15. Blow out the candle. You can
keep the symbol, candle and the leaves/flowers as decoration on your altar, or
you can discard the flowers/leaves in the garden and recycle the paper-
whatever you wish.
For the two leaves/flowers that
you worked with during this ritual, be sure to bury them in the garden, drop
them off the top off a hill/building into the wind, or toss them in the ocean
as soon as possible after completing this ritual.
Enjoy the Full Moon!
