Full Moon Journaling | Release — Leo

This guided journaling practice is designed to harness the potent energy of the Full Moon—a time of illumination, culmination, and emotional release. Inspired by Yasmin Boland’s Moonology, we’ll explore what has come to the surface and what you are now ready to gently release.

Through reflective prompts, you’ll be invited to acknowledge feelings, patterns, or stories from the past with compassion, allowing space for closure, clarity, and inner peace.

Thank you for journaling with me.

Follow me here on Insight Timer to continue exploring reflection and self-connection through my live events and an extensive library of journaling and scripting practices.

Background music: “Dance of Inner Peace” by fellow teacher and friend, Blossom Violet. You’ll find more of her beautiful music throughout my playlists and on her profile.

Please join and connect with me in my Insight Timer group, "Ask Your Guides" — grounded, guided, and always growing.

Hello and welcome.

Today we're gonna be doing some full moon journaling and we have a full moon in Leo coming up.

This is a full moon to tap into if you've been feeling a little drab and want to regain your inner sparkle.

I love that line already.

I am using Yasmin Bolin's Moonology diary which I find very helpful in deciphering all the feelings and things happening around these moon phases.

And she says this is an extremely interesting full moon.

As you may know the full moon takes place when the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the Zodiac.

In this case the Sun is in the sign of Aquarius and the Moon resides in the sign of Leo.

However the Sun is more or less surrounded by Pluto,

Mars,

Venus,

And Mercury in that order.

This means that at the full moon peak all those planets are gonna get pinged.

There's a heck of a lot of energy going around and wow can I relate to that.

I'm the fact that she says you should tap into this full moon if you've been feeling a little bit drab and want to regain your inner sparkle.

I can definitely relate to that.

I've been dealing with a little bit of a cold the past couple of weeks and have definitely been feeling a little down and perhaps a little unmotivated.

So I'm definitely looking forward to this full moon energy.

And I also decided to pull a card for us from the Moonology Messages Oracle also by Yasmin Boland.

And I got Moonrise Cleansing.

I like that already because I could definitely use a cleansing.

And it says drawing this card suggests that you've been through a very difficult situation from which you're finally now emerging.

Even though you're nearing the end of this challenging period of your life,

Or perhaps are already there,

You still have energetic cords or attachments that you need to clear from your life.

Think of them as energetic debris that needs to be washed away by time and intention.

Just as we can see the moon rise nearly every night in the skies,

So you too are nearly always able to process upsets with some effort.

You need to carry out this cleansing of your body,

Mind,

And spirit or you risk remaining stuck in the past.

Sit under the moon's beams and ask her to cleanse you.

Ask Archangel Michael to cut your cords to the past.

Take regular salt baths.

Most importantly,

Set the intention that you're cleansing yourself of the past so that you may face a happier present and a brighter future.

Hmm,

What a lovely message.

I can absolutely use that right now.

And I've got some full moon journaling prompts to share.

How can I step more fully into my authentic self and confidently share my unique gifts with the world?

I love this question because it's something I've been struggling with lately.

I love creating content here,

But lately I've been feeling like I need to do something that more more aligns with my authenticity.

So you know I'm gonna have a lot to say in this one.

The other question,

What creative passions or hobbies bring me joy and how can I make more time for them in my life?

And again,

I feel like this relates to the first question.

I've been finding myself doing things more out of obligation than out of joy and I definitely want to turn that around.

And question number three,

Where in my life am I seeking approval from others and how can I shift towards self-validation and inner confidence?

These three questions are absolutely loaded for me.

I'm gonna read them again just to make sure you got them so that we can do some journaling while we listen to this beautiful music.

So number one,

How can I step more fully into my authentic self and confidently share my unique gifts with the world?

Number two,

What creative passions or hobbies bring me joy and how can I make more time for them in my life?

Number three,

Where in my life am I seeking approval from others and how can I shift toward self validation and inner confidence?

Alright my friends,

I have a lot to write and I don't know that I'm gonna have enough time and I would suggest if you feel the same way,

Feel free to pause or come back to these,

You know,

And address one or all three questions.

Totally up to you.

Let's listen to Blossom Violet's beautiful music and let's do some journaling.

Alright my friends,

If you had enough time to journal,

Great.

If not,

Feel free to pause and go back.

I did a lot of writing and I think I'd need to do a lot more.

These questions for me were at the heart of everything that I've been feeling for the past couple of weeks.

So I for one,

I'm excited about this full moon because I feel like I have a lot to think about,

A lot to look forward to and you know that one question about stepping fully into my authentic self and confident and sharing my gifts.

I feel like the work I do on Inside Timer shares a lot of my gifts but sometimes I have to stop and ask myself,

Am I being authentic?

Am I being true to myself or am I doing something that I think will please other people?

And that's a tough one because of course we want to be interesting,

We want to be motivating,

But we also want to be authentic.

I think for the most part I am an authentic person but I still struggle with the people pleaser,

I still want to make other people happy,

I still want to do what other people expect me to do,

But I'm learning to let a lot of that go.

And that last question,

Where in my life am I seeking approval from others?

I had a lot to say about that as well because as much as I have sought to let go of that people pleasing and that wanting approval and validation,

I still see areas where I can work on that and I for one plan to.

So friends,

I would love to hear how you felt about these questions,

How you feel about this full moon in Leo and I can't wait to read your comments.

And again,

Feel free to go back and do some more writing.

I know this was a lot to do in the amount of time that we have together,

But remember there's no reason why you can't continue writing.

Journaling for me is so therapeutic,

Definitely what I needed.

I've been having an interesting couple of weeks.

I'm not gonna get into that right now,

But things are definitely taking a turn for the better.

I know that there's a lot going on in the world right now and there's a lot of emotions and I'm also in the winter season right now so I am doing a little bit of hibernating.

I think it's been really good for my soul.

Alright friends,

I can't wait to hear from you.

I look forward to reading your comments and until we meet again,

Please continue to shine like the beautiful bright diamond that you are.
