Hello and welcome to this full moon ritual. I am so excited to get the opportunity to share a little bit more of a way that you can engage with the full moon and in particular this full Sturgeon moon that we are happening upon this week. This is an opportunity for you to not only get clear on what you want to manifest, But really call in the energy of this specific full moon. So the Sturgeon moon represents a time in our history here where sturgeon, Which are fish, Were at incredible abundance this time of year, Historically. And they are incredibly ancient creatures and they are normally down at the bottom. This is a time where they come up to the top of the surface. So it's a time for us to reflect on where have we been going down in the bottom and what's coming to the surface now for you. And so in addition to being able to call on that energy, It's also really beautiful to have a ritual around the full moon. And so I have some specific materials here for this full moon. I have a blue candle. It represents calm, That connection to water with the sturgeon, Power. And then I also have a yellow candle, Which represents more of that like solar expansive energy. And you might notice that these are birthday cake candles. I really think that sometimes we tell ourselves we can't do these kinds of rituals and ceremonies because we don't have all the materials. Well, This is literally birthday cake candles that have been lit before, In fact. Of watermelon here simply for me to be able to place. These candles in. I thought, Wow, It's really beautiful to bring in some fruit from Mother Nature of what is abundant right now. And I have one of my beautiful crystals. I always love to have crystals out for full moon ceremonies. I think it's a really powerful thing to be able to charge your crystals, Meaning that you can leave them outside or even in a windowsill and they can get more of that full moon energy and charge them up. Another thing that you can charge is water. It's a beautiful thing to, Again, Put in the windowsill, Put outside, You can even cover it, But it will take in the energy from the moon and then you can choose what you might want to do with that water afterwards. A plant or to yourself or put it in your coffee. It's a beautiful way to stay even more connected and water is going to be a part of the ceremony today. And then also something a bowl, We're going to have that to collect the water in for part of what we're going to do. And then also always nice to have, If you have a manifestation journal or a full moon journal, This is a great thing to have handy so that you can reflect as part of the ritual. All right, So let's begin. I want to invite you by setting up your space to begin. Being able to pull the materials that serve you. And if there's something else that I don't have here, Like maybe Oracle cards or sage or essential oils, You create the container that's going to be best for you. And let's begin, Though, By grounding ourselves once you have your materials set and created a sacred space for yourself. You can do this outside like I am. It's so beautiful if you have the ability to be out in nature to do this, But you can also do it indoors. Of course, If you have access to a window and you can connect with the sky, That's always ideal. But once you have all your materials ready. And you come together. Calming yourself, Grounding yourself in this moment. I invite you to close your eyes if it feels good. Breathe in and out through your nose. Sending your breath down to your belly. Breathing in peace. Breathing out stress. And softening in your body. Allowing yourself to be fully here. Knowing this is a powerful moment. In our lunar cycle as we welcome the full Sturgeon moon. Being able to tune in. To what this energy is bringing up for you. And being able to go more deeply into the significance of the Sturgeon Moon. On your next in-breath, I invite you to put your hand on your heart space. And calling in this energy of this lunar cycle, This full Sturgeon moon. I invite you to ask yourself. Where have I been living deeply? That's ready to come to the surface. Where have I been living deeply? That's ready to come to the surface. And what can I release? So that I can trust more deeply. What can I release? So that I can trust more deeply. Breathing into whatever comes forward. I invite you to bow your head ever so slightly towards your heart. Just saying thank you. Thank you for remembering. That you're a part of something that's so much bigger than you. When you get to tune in. To honor and to connect with. You get to live more deeply. And then bring that with them. To the surface, To the masses. Just by changing your own frequency. What a gift. Bringing a smile to your face knowing this is the truth. I invite you to take a big inhalation in. Cord at the top. And a big escalation out. Releasing your hand, Wiggling your fingers, Wiggling your toes, Fluttering your eyes open. I now want to invite you to go pen to paper in your journal. And invest some energy in what came up for you. So where have you been going deeply that's ready to come to the surface? And what can you release? In order to trust more deeply. I want to invite you now to journal on those two questions. Beautiful work. Now we're going to put all of this together. First, I'm going to invite you to pour some of the water into your bowl. And now placing your hands around your bowl. I invite you to tell the water. What it is that you would like to manifest. Now that you've reflected. On these two areas of your life. What would you like more of? What would you like to change? What does your heart desire? Want to invite you to. Either whisper that answer into the bowl of the water itself. Letting the water now. Or simply sending the energy from your mind through your body, Through your hands to the bowl. To the water and sending that possibility. So for example, If what you're ready to, What part of you is ready to rise that you've been reflecting on more deeply. For me, That's actually my spirituality, Being able to share these kinds of practices with you. It's a type of thing where I have been loving these practices on my own and have been more hesitant to share them openly. And so that's what's rising up for me. So what might I want to manifest? More freedom around that, Perhaps even having more abundance around sharing these types of practices. You get to decide what is it that you want, What do you desire based on that reflection. And let the water know. Put the water down. Once you've done that. And place it back down. And then I'm gonna invite you to go back to your journal and look at. What is it that you want to release? So that you can trust more deeply. What do you want to let go of? Once you know what that is. I'm going to invite you to give meaning to each of your candles. And if it's something that you want to release. You can say. I'm releasing. Dow. Worry, And fear of judgment. I'm going full in. On sharing more spiritually. That is what this blue candle represents for me in today's ceremony. And then I can think more deeply, What is something else? That would make me trust. And a big part of that for me is letting go of needing other people's approval. Letting go of some form of validation outside of my own energy and knowing. So that's something I'm going to release. I invite you now to watch the candles as they burn. Ask the full moon to support you. In these releases. And feel excited. Knowing that this is absolutely possible for you. And that you have so much energetic support. You can choose if you want to. Watch the candles burn all the way down, Or if you'd like to combine the energy of what you're releasing with what you want to manifest in the water. So you can take your candle. And combine the two. Energy. You get to decide. What feels best for you. And so now what I'll do is I'll leave. This water out overnight. It is going to represent this beautiful manifestation of greater possibilities. Of being able to come from what's been deep, Bring it up to the surface. And let go and release what's keeping me back from trusting. And that's going to be exactly the same for you. And once again, You get to decide what do you do with this water afterwards? Perhaps you want to use it in other areas of your life. Perhaps you want to give it back to the earth. You get to decide. But I hope that you enjoyed this full sturgeon moon ritual. It is such a gift to be able to share it with you. Happy full moon, My friend.
