How to Work with the Energy of the Full Moon

​There is hardly anything more beautiful than a Full Moon. The Full Moon, in all her glory, illuminated by the Sun, is the peak lunar energy. When the moon is brightest is a fantastic time to energize your goals, see your projects through to completion, and recharge. 

The wonderful thing about the Full Moon is that approximately every 28 days, we have a new opportunity to work with this powerful energy.

Working with the Full Moon's energy can look different in every season. So I've elaborated on a few of my favorite ways to work with this energy. 

Charge Crystals

If you actively use crystals in a healing practice, or your crystals feel like they need a refresh, this is a great time to amp up their energy naturally. You can place crystals outside or on a windowsill to soak up the full moon energy. You can do this within three days of the full moon. This practice is a great way to begin working actively with your crystals if you are not currently doing so.

Create an Altar

Creating an altar is a great way to focus energy on your spiritual goals or spellwork. Altars can be large or small, public or private, and can include several things, including flowers, pictures, crystals, candles, and statues, among other things. Altars are a deeply personal expression of what you hope to manifest, create, or bring forth.

Make Moon Water

Making moon water has become one of the most popular activities to work with the full moon's energy. All you need to do is place natural spring water or filtered water in a glass or metal container with a lid. Then, place the container outside overnight (or on a windowsill) to soak up the moon's rays. There are infinite ways to utilize this natural energy boost to incorporate moon water into your workings. Look for an upcoming blog on this topic! 

Write & Burn

One of the most powerful ways to communicate with other realms and dimensions is via substances that can pass through different realms and dimensions. Smoke and fire are two of these substances. Writing anything you need to get off your chest, like your fears, wishes, desires, and frustrations, can help you from ruminating and obsessing over them. Placing them in the fire allows them to be transmuted, and the smoke carries the energy into the universe for your highest and best good.

Pull an Oracle Card

Incorporating pulling an oracle card is a great way to tap into the full moon's energy. Oracle cards are an excellent tool for any level because they do not require previous training. This is a great way to understand the upcoming energy that the rest of the lunar cycle has in store for you. 

Dance

​One of the most basic forms of movement, dance, is a form of expression that allows our true selves to live openly. Dancing under the full moon is a tradition as old as time. Dance is one of the purest forms of refilling your energy by recharging under the full moon.
