join my full moon ritual 5.27.2010

I would like to invite you
to do a full moon ritual with me.

A full moon is a great opportunity to let go of something, someone, some habit or anything that does not aid you in your higher purpose here in this lifetime...

here are some things you can do to prepare and join in. if you don't want to do these things, you can just imagine in your mind that you are... thoughts go a long way!

1. find a candle or light a fire/bonfire

2. light some of your favorite incense

3. set up a little altar (with a favorite stone, shell, statue, or other meaningful objects

4. take a small piece of paper (or if you have a bonfire/fireplace, a stick would work)

5. write something on the paper or stick that you would like to purge

6. read it out loud and then burn it

7. feel yourself being released by it or letting go of it...

8. sit quietly for a while, sensing a feeling of being lighter

i found this prayer below that you can say at some point during your ritual.

or look even further below and follow those steps if you would like. you can really make this up to fit your own personal needs or taste. 

have fun and feel free to leave a comment sharing your experience with others. there is a similar new moon ritual that i will be doing soon too, so stay tuned. new moon has to do with creation, manifestation, birth and rebirth... 

i will be by a fire of some sort the evening of 5.27.2010
to let go of some things...
namaste and be well,
jennifer

prayer:

I am healthy and totally free of negativity.  The negativity and difficulties that have weighed upon my mind have lessened and will continue to lessen each day that goes by.  My pain and fear are gone.  I am strong in mind, body, heart, and soul.  I  have the strength and endurance to make it through this troublesome time in my life. I release all negative thoughts and sever all negative ties I may have with others, all bonds that prevent me from evolving, healing, and growing in a positive manner.  As I heal, I will become more and more loving and patient with myself.  The love I feel comes from inside of me and will increase to encompass others with its purity of light and intention.  As I love, I will be loved.  As I give, I will receive.

different ritual: 
found at: http://healing.about.com/cs/spirituality/a/moonrituals_2.htm 

1. Cleanse your sacred area with an opening prayer, a sage smudging, and/or by burning some incense. Invite your guides, angels, masters, or teachers to be at your side throughout the ceremony.
2. Light one or more candles. Look to the skies. Breathe in the night air.
3. One by one, read out loud the words you have written on each slip of paper. Set your intention to release the item/addiction/attitude from your life. Set it to fire and place it in the calderon. If you have a campsite barbecue or bonfire going that's cool, just toss the slips of paper into the fire one by one. If you are doing this ritual with a group of others take turns reading your words. If these things are too personal to read out loud, read them silently to yourself. Just remember... our words have power. Saying - "Be Gone" audibly and loudly can be very freeing. Go ahead, howl at the moon if you've a mind to. Have some fun!
4. Thank the spirits. Be safe. Put out the fire.
