The Full Moon: A Time to Release
Posted by Jana Groscost Matthews | Filed under Manifesting
As we are approaching the full moon, think about something that you want to release from your life. Perhaps there’s a habit you want to break; or old feelings (resentments, guilt, un-forgiveness); or maybe there are relationships that are negatively influencing you. A couple of days following the full moon is the perfect time to release anything you want to remove from your life.
Since we think in pictures, visualizing yourself releasing or manifesting something is more powerful than reciting affirmations. So, what are you willing to release during this full moon? Whatever it is, visualize yourself giving it to either the energy of the heavens or the energy of the earth. Then replace it with something that you do want: loving relationships, positive feelings, positive habits, anything that helps you on your journey. Dream it into being.
During each month we hold a live full moon event here in Truckee, CA. We include a brief meditation or visualization to help us be centered and focused on whatever we are releasing. We then build a fire and perform a ceremony where we each throw a letter or something into the fire that describes what we want to release. This doesn’t have to be a big event, it can be as simple as burning your letter in a fireplace or pie tin.
Check out our video from our 11/11 full moon ceremony. Notice the interesting blue beam from the fire to the sky.

To prepare for the manifesting, write down a list of goals or intentions you want to attract or issues you want to release during the lunar cycle. After the cycle is over, review your old list crossing off goals achieved and file it, then begin a new list for the new cycle. To maintain balance in your life, look at goals on several different levels including financial, spiritual, mental, emotional, and physically.
