Full Moon Ritual For Manifesting What You Want

The Full Moon occurs when the entire moon is visible and illuminated in the night sky. It's considered the very end of the cycle of the moon's phases, and can be a powerful time of planning and manifestation for all of us!

On the night of the Full Moon is the best time for us to work on drawing good things toward us, and bringing new things into our lives. Now is the time to ask yourself:

What are my goals? What things do I want to see come into my life in the near future? What energies do I want to fill my world with?

We all have dreams about these things, but we often put them off, making them things we plan to accomplish in the future. We say "oh, I would like to start seeing more of this in my life," but we often don't take our intentions any further than just a wish.

The energy of the New Moon can help us out with that. Now is the time for us to take those intentions we have, and make it loud and clear to the universe that we are open to attracting what we want! I'd like to share with you a super-simple Full Moon ritual that can help you with manifestation!

You will need:

A pen and a piece of paper

A candle (white works best)

A heat safe dish or plate

A strong intention and the will to make it happen

A clear view of the full moon, if possible

Instructions:

If you can, go outside under the night sky. A clear view of the full moon is ideal. Being outside under the moon will have the most significant effect on you and the ritual you're about to do! If you can't get outside, try setting up near a window. Turn the lights off, and work by the glow of the moon light. Feel the power of the moon radiating down onto you, and through the air that surrounds you. The energy of the full moon is going to help you manifest your desires!

Now, think of what you want to manifest. What kinds of energies do you want to draw into your life? Which events would you like to see unfold? How do you want to feel about yourself and the world around you? These are all good things to be asking yourself right now. Pick whichever one is most important to you, and write it down on a piece of paper. As you do this, picture in your mind what it looks like to have that thing. What will your life look like once your wish has come true? What kinds of things will happen as a result of this? How will you feel? What will you do? Be as detailed as possible. The clearer your visualization of the situation, the better its chances will be for manifestation!

Now, you'll need to get your candle ready! White works best for this ritual. This color represents power, protection, manifestation, positivity, and creation. It perfectly compliments our intentions and goal for this ritual! A small votive sized candle will work just fine. Whether you are indoors or out, make sure your candle is on a heat-safe surface. I typically use votives for this ritual, and I don't place them in candle holders. Instead, I place aluminum foil underneath the candle. It protects the surface under the candle, and makes it easy to clean up spilled wax.

Next, you'll use the candle and the paper to release your intentions into the universe so they can manifest. Light the candle and read what you've written aloud over the candle. Make sure you're visualizing it in your head. You can repeat it if you'd like. Take your time. When you feel like you're ready, you can choose one of the following options to finish the ritual:

Option one, you can fold the paper up and place it under the candle. As the candle burns, it is drawing your intentions from the paper below it, and releasing them out through the flame.

Option two, you can throw the paper into the flame and let it burn. This option is definitely quite dangerous, and requires a heat-safe dish. Definitely don't do this indoors. Once you light the paper on fire, the flame will get a lot bigger than you might expect it to. However, if this method appeals to you, use it at your own risk.

Whichever option you choose, make sure you really spend time picturing your intentions in your mind. That's the key here! Be very specific about what you want. As you watch the candle burn down, feel the energy of your wishes making their way out into the air around you. As the flame burns, it feeds the manifestation of your intentions. When you feel that you are done (trust your intuition, you'll know when you're finished), end your ritual however you choose. I like to say "As I will it, so it is" aloud, signaling to myself and to the universe that my will has changed the reality of the world around me.

You can now go about the rest of your night, letting the Full Moon energy take care of the rest! Repeat this ritual every Full Moon if you need or want to. Take full advantage of this powerful energy whenever you get the chance!
