New Moon Rituals
One of my favorite sites for all things related to moon wisdom and mother-to-be knowledge is called Full Moon Birth out of New York City. The writer of the site, Hannah Haehn, has written up a succinct set of New Moon rituals. I have been trying to really set this time each month to connect to La Luna and focus on new affirmations. I can see the connection in my life since setting defined intentions.
HOW TO CREATE A NEW MOON RITUAL.
1. Know when the New Moon is going to occur. Moon calendars like this one can be beautiful reminders of when the moon will next begin its next journey.
2. Find out what the New Moon means to you. It is often seen as a time of renewal, change and growth. A time to set intentions and goals.
3. Create a sacred space. Light some candles. Hang a special fabric. Or just open a window or sit outside. Be where you feel most connected to yourself and your spirit.
4. Relax. Take a moment to ground yourself to the Earth. Listen to your breath and the sounds around you. Feel the thoughts of your day begin to fade away and a calmness enter your mind.
5. Find openness. Allow yourself to receive the messages of your true self. Where are you heading; where are you best used in this world at this current time; what will build your energy as you give to others; what new things can you learn; how can your grow your awareness of the planet; how can you be fulfilled, what does your soul dream of ?
6. Set Intentions. Dream big and let it all out! Describe in detail to yourself that which you one day hope to bring into your life.
7. Birth your dreams. As the new moon grows, allow your dreams and intentions to continue to flourish by starting to put them into action. Do what you can at each juncture and all will follow.
Blessings to you on this New Moon.
