Get a glass of water, and an organic talisman (stone, wood, a plant, a friend, etc.) as well, if it pleases.

Using your tool of choice—smudge stick or a liquid that has some meaning to you—first cleanse the ritual space by splashing a bit around, especially in the corners. After this, cleanse your own energy, paying attention to the secret-keeping places of your body as well.

Whisper your plans and intention to your glass of water, and talisman. Keep them nearby to witness. This celebration is best done standing, but if that isn’t available, a combination of standing and sitting will do, as you will see.

Holding both hands over, but not against, each bodily area in turn, with intention and meditative breathing, recite as follows. Move between each recital with at least three deep breaths.

⁃ root chakra (down near the pelvis)

i ground my self. i feel secure in my body. i trust that i am looked after. i am supported, safe, and loved by the universe.

⁃ sacral chakra (at the belly button)

i acknowledge and accept all of my self. i have divine permission to feel everything i feel. i open to the creative energies that live within. i am comfortable with who i am.

⁃ solar plexus chakra (where sternum meets belly)

i honor the power within me. i hold the answers to my own destiny. i release any built up emotions. i let it go to claim my personal strength. i am radiant and full of joy.

⁃ heart chakra (upper chest)

i am love. i deserve love. Love flows freely through me. i forgive myself. i forgive others. It is safe for me to love with the fullest expression of my heart.

⁃ throat chakra (neck)

i accept my self, feelings, and emotions. i trust i can express myself with clear intent. i honor myself by choosing my earthly audience. i hear and speak the truth.

⁃ third eye chakra (center of forehead)

i open my mind to the boundlessness of the universe. i am prepared to witness and experience all that is. i am worthy of this connection. i am empowered by it.

⁃ crown chakra (top of head)

i am divine. i am a spiritual being guided by the universe and my own inner wisdom. i am honored to be connected. The universe is always with me.

After your last three deep breaths, allow yourself to rest, breathe naturally, and close your eyes. Visualize your entire self surrounded by the healing energy you’ve created.

When you’re ready, shake your body out. Recall the plans and intention you spoke of at the beginning of the ritual as you drink the glass of water. Keep the talisman with you as a touchstone to this moment.

Your ritual is now complete. Happy Full Moon!
