MANIFEST WITH THE MOON
INTENTION SETTING WITH THE NEW MOON 🌙
The New Moon is the time when the moons orbit fall directly between the sun and the earth. In astrological terms, this means the moon is conjunct, or joined with, the sun. Because the moon reflects light from the sun, it seems to have disappeared from the sky during this phase of its lunar cycle.
The moons gravitational pull has an effect on tides, as it too creates waves of emotions that ebb and flow within, and around us.
The darkness of the new moon is the beginning of the lunation cycle with its energy directed internally. This is the insightful time to plant seeds of intention, desires, and change to begin manifesting with the moon.
A New Moon Ritual
The new moon is a blank page, a fresh start, a moment to turn inward and consider what we want to call into our lives and what we need to let go of. It’s indeed a time for rest and reflection, so the perfect ritual would be in a comfortable, safe space.
How to Begin:
1. Set the environment
Tidy up your space, light candles, put on some chill music, and wrap yourself in a cozy blanket. Cleanse your space by burning some incense or palo santo. I use the smoke over my clairs (crown of the head, third eye, throat, and heart) and then over palms to open and clear their energy.
2. Center yourself
Take three deep breaths, each one more full than the previous. Allow yourself to fully exhale all the air. The intentional awareness on your breath allows you to connect into your parasympathetic nervous system offering a sense of peace and calmness. At this time you may want to call in your Team of guides, angels, ancestors and passed loved ones, or any other connection to the Divine.
3. Begin to formulate your intentions by writing
Sit comfortably and begin to write. This can be prompted by the things that you want to call into your life: opportunities, job, relationship, feelings…there is no limit here. You may also feel called to write out anything that may be holding you back from reaching those desires- barriers of fear, limitations, comparison…anything that is not serving you to reach your highest potential.
4. Declare it
There is POWER is vocalizing what it is that you are calling into your life. Our words have a vibration which gets sent out into the Universe, and the Universe responds with sending the same energy back to us. You may even notice that speaking out loud evokes even more emotion, and that feeling is essential when manifesting.
5. Send gratitude
Let the Universe know that you have an attitude of gratitude by sending out your appreciation for all the blessings in your life, and all the blessings on their way, because you are worthy.
While doing a ritual like this alone is beautiful, there is also something compelling about being heard and supported with a like minded community, so that they, too, can hold your desires for you—and vice versa.
