Full Moon Ritual Guide with Journal Prompts and Prayer
Your full moon ritual guide with journal prompts and prayer to harness the power of the abundant and healing full moon.
Dear Spirited Earthling,
Each full moon is the closing of a cycle. The full moon is the brightest moon, and this abundance of moonlight asks you to celebrate where you are, and how far you’ve come, and be in gratitude for it all. Like how the seasons call for different actions from you, the moon cycles do the same.
Full Moon Energy
Sunlight illuminates the moon during the full moon, making it the brightest moon we experience. The full moon is full of energy, reminding you to be your full self and highlight your accomplishments. Since the new moon, you have been consciously and unconsciously working with the Universe to achieve your intention.
The full moon is your greatest supporter. She wants the best for you and encourages you to align with your highest self. She stands with you as you face challenges in areas of your life that need attention and change.
Building your dream life means your life is under construction. There may be things that need to be changed for your intention to come to fruition. To keep space for your dreams and goals, you must let go of things not serving your highest good. A full moon is a chance to let go of things that aren’t aligned with your intentions. You may be feeling a lot of emotions with the challenges you’re overcoming – trust where you are and what you’re feeling, moving through this is likely what is needed for you to manifest your intention.
It is easy to focus on all that needs to still be done, but it only tells one half of the story. The full moon energy asks you to tell the full story. The other half is how far you have come. Full moon energy calls for the realisation and celebration of how far you have come, how much you have learned, and how you have grown.
Your full moon ritual can be practised on the days leading up to, the day of, and the days following the full moon.
“When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.” ~ Paulo Coelho
Full Moon Journal Prompts
Journaling can be a sacred practice, in all seasons and cycles of life. Having a journal at your spiritual altar can help you connect with yourself through this practice daily. You can have a moon journal that you write in each new and full moon, or you can use your usual daily journal. These journal prompts for the full moon can help you identify what you want to do and who you want to become.
Am I nearer to my intention than I was when this moon cycle started?
What about my life lately am I grateful for?
Are my goals still aligned for me?
What have I learned from challenges lately?
What areas of life are not aligning with the person I want to become?
What miracles have shown in my life this moon cycle?
If I am not where I want to be, how am I exactly where I am meant to be now?
Write without fear and without judgement - this is a love letter to yourself and your full moon supporter. Sit in the celebratory energy of the full moon and openly acknowledge the miracles, lessons, and life now with gratitude. Realign and reconnect with your intentions, welcoming the surplus energy into action.
“When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” ~ Paulo Coelho
What can I do more of / less of to help manifest my dreams?
Think about actionable steps that you can take to work with the Universe in creating your dream life. See a clear path, or a clear beginning of the path, to your goals and give yourself the chance to support and reach them. Ask for support and guidance from your higher powers and have faith that they are conspiring in helping you
“When you find your path, you must not be afraid. You need to have sufficient courage to make mistakes. Disappointment, defeat, and despair are the tools God uses to show us the way.” ~ Paulo Coelho
Full Moon Ritual and Prayer
Know what your intention will be for this full moon ritual. As you sit in your sacred space and open your circle, take 3 deep breaths. Welcome the energies of the elements and Universe, and ask for their blessings and support in manifesting your intention (read more about opening and closing sacred space circles in our spiritual altar guide)..
Say this full moon prayer:
Write down what you want to let go of and heal from on a piece of paper, and feel guided in expressing your intention as it flows through your hand. If you feel compelled to draw your intention or healing, do so. When words supporting your intention or healing come to you, write them down too.
Look at your paper and read what is written. Take 3 deep breaths.
Hold your earth element item and imagine grounding yourself into Mother Earth. Feel grounded and supported as you release what no longer serves your highest good.
This is your letter to the moon, Universe, angels and guides from your soul. Look at what you wrote and hold it in your mind. Take 3 deep breaths and close your eyes.
Envision cutting cords connecting you to any trauma, pain, or frustration. Imagine a protective energy bubble around you as you send situations and energies that no longer serve you down to Mother Earth to be transmuted. Fill your bubble with love and healing energy.
You can then close your sacred space and full moon ritual by thanking the elements, energies, and moon for their presence, blessings, and support.
This full moon ritual can be where you start, and somewhere to grow on. Your ritual can be changed to suit your personal preferences, beliefs, and intentions. Spirituality and prayer are personal expressions of personal journeys.
