Directions for Ritual...

1. Start by smudging your surrounding, aura and supplies for the ritual, while cleansing your surroundings and supplies recite the following…

“ I cleanse this space and gifts of the Earth. I cleanse all that surrounds as I do my work. My space is cleansed, my space is protected. My energy is pure, my energy is connected. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”

When smudging your aura recited the following…

“This year is fresh and new and I ask that I be too! I ask my angels and guides of the highest light to cleanse and purify me on this night. Cleanse my mind, my body and my heart; cleanse me of anything that feels apart. Restore my body and restore my soul, allow me to feel my heart glow. I am radiant, I am strong, I am ready to sing my song. I am cleansed. I am restored. I am destined for so much more. Guide me angels and light beings above, to my highest path, my destiny and all that is love. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. “

2. Light a candle (optional) Take some deep breaths. Begin with a meditation of choice with the intention of what you would like to release. Take a few moments to meditate, then come back to your space. 

3. Take a piece of paper and rip it into three strips and write down three things you want to let go of. Just keep the strips of paper small. 

4. Fold your strips of paper and put them in front of you with your crystal on top of them. Recite to yourself…

“Each movement opens me and aligns me with the calling of my soul, I feel myself releasing and letting go, releasing and letting go, releasing and letting go, releasing and letting go, releasing and letting go."

5. Take the essential oil of choice and put a few drops in the palm of your hand, cup hands together and inhale, taking three deep breaths. Find your breathe rhythm and continue to breathe and recite the following.

“I release the past and all that was, I let go of these things so I can welcome the new. I release all that is not love, was never love and all that no longer serves me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.”

6. On another piece of paper, write down your intentions. Remove the three pieces of paper and dispose of anyway you would like, crumble, burn, recycle. Place the piece of paper in a safe place with your intentions and place the crystal on top of the paper, leave the crystal on the papers over night. In the morning create an affirmation with your new intention and write it somewhere you can see it daily to remind you and manifest your intention. 

7. Your Release and alignment work is complete. Carry your crystal with you, sleep with it, but keep it by your side until the New Moon, then cleanse the crystal and charge it again. 

Happy Full Moon & Eclipse!
