New Moon Rituals: Manifestation, Authenticity and Connecting to Your True Essence
Happy New Moon!
Liberating our most authentic self, resetting boundaries, declaring intentions and claiming our freedom for the month ahead: this is what the new moon asks of us each month.
The new moon phase represents the start of a lunar cycle. This occurs every 29 days or so, when the moon is positioned between the earth and the sun, the sun illuminates the dark side of the moon. This is the time to call our shadow forward, shining our personal light on the darkest parts of us. To our eye, the moon becomes invisible — as the sky goes dark. Beyond the cosmic logistics of it, the new moon phase occurs when both the sun and the moon are traveling through the same zodiac sign, which provides an energetically concentrated version of the zodiac archetype.
The new moon is the time to breath life into our creative gifts, visions and idea. In the spirit of celebrating one of the most mystical nights of the calendar each month, I’m sharing 3 simple rituals and created a workshop to support you in connecting into your authenticity. This workshop is a free one! And I highly suggest coming back to it month over month to see how you’re evolving through each lunar cycle.
First up: the New Moon Rituals.
I love a moon ritual, so in honor of tonight’s moon here are a few super simple rituals I practice regularly (you can practice these the evening of the new moon or a day before or after):
Create a new moon mantra
or use the essence statement you'll create in this workshop: use that mantra for the duration of the next lunar cycle. How exactly do you use the mantra? Keep it simple - write it down and keep it on your night stand and repeat it to yourself when you wake and before you go to sleep at night.
Here are a few mantras I’m loving right now:
- I am intuitive and visionary and see beautiful things coming in my life.
- I am filled with authentic expression and brilliance.
- I live an abundant life: rich with love, friends, money and compassion.
- I am the light of my soul.
- I am creative infinity.
Light a new moon candle
and then burn it for a few minutes every evening over the next lunar cycle. The candle signifies inviting light into our lives on the darkest night of the month. Lighting that same candle each evening for the next 30 days will keep that light alive.
Write your manifestation list
and read it out loud, and then, yes you guessed it — re-read it before you go to bed every night over the next lunar cycle. The idea is to magnify your dreams and wishes — and to remind the universe every single night of what you’re calling in.
