Lunar Tuning

Nã'auao is the Hawaiian term for wisdom, or enlightenment encompassing more than just academic knowledge, which taps into the full moon's divine energy, fueling our drive to make our dreams a reality.

Full moons act as celestial signposts, marking perfect moments to celebrate how far we've come, revel in our achievements, and shed what no longer serves us.  They're our celestial sync-up, aligning us with the moon's cycles and the cosmic dance that influences our emotions and goals.

ALIGNING WITH THE NEW MOON

The dark, seemingly moonless nights, during the lunar phase we refer to as the New Moon, the moon may appear as the tiniest sliver of light in the shape of a crescent in the sky. This phase always offers us the opportunity to retreat, reflect, and rest, reminding us of the importance of honoring the polarities within us and throughout the universe. 

An impactful, yet simple ritual one could perform for the new moon is simply burning a candle while you write down all the things that are no longer serving you which you wish to release from your aura. As the candle burns, you may wish to meditate on the flame, or perhaps even set the list on fire, really locking in your intention of ridding yourself of these energies. It may be beneficial to then pull a tarot or spirit animal card to see what side of yourself you will be facing in this next cycle, or perhaps what messages your guides have for you in easing your resistance to whatever is to come, so that you may instead ride the waves smoothly. 

Here are some of our favorite ways to sync up with the reflective new moon energies:

Cleanse or smudge your living quarters

Get organized and set intentions/goals for the month

Yoga, meditation, and journaling

Burn a candle with the intention of releasing what no longer serves you

Do a Tarot reading to see what energies can support you during this cycle

ALIGNING WITH THE FULL MOON

As always, full moons offer an invitation to celebrate our efforts, harvest the fruits of our labor from the seeds we planted at the new moon, and to release what no longer serves us. During the 5 days around the full moon, one may experience heightened emotional awareness and psychic abilities. Taking the time to meditate and connect with one’s personal desires may support in manifesting more efficiently. 

The best Full Moon ritual is to gather under the open night sky with like-minded spiritual beings. To be in community in celebration is the best way to honor our moon in her fullest luminance. At this time we should be harvesting the fruits of our labor from over the past few weeks, from the seeds we sowed at the last new moon. Partaking in community healing is such a profound way to tap into full moon energy, which is why we find so much joy in hosting our Divine Productions events. 

Another lovely way to honor the full moon in ritual is to take a flower petal bath, or be in a natural body of water at some point during the 5 day energy burst. It’s a great time to dive deep into what can be called “higher consciousness journaling,” which is really just meditating before journaling, allowing the most evolved version of yourself take the lead with pen to paper, and begin writing stream-of-thought style, trusting that your intuition and Source are guiding the prophecies being spelled out. This is the perfect time to charge your crystals; just set them outside on a table under moonlight overnight, and to charge up some moon water, which you can add to another bath or drink the next morning. 

For a reference, here is a summarized list of ways one could tune into the magnified magic of a full moon:

Keep an active dream journal—both lunar dreams and daydreams you wish to manifest

Have a Manifestation Meditation Session

Moonbathing—get cozy outside and have a sleepover with the moon

Charge some water and your crystals outside overnight

Gather for a community energy healing event

Whatever practices you implement in your life for attuning to the moon, you’ll likely experience refreshing results in your intrapersonal and interpersonal relationships, work ethic, and general perspective of the world. This is so because the moon pulls on the tides of the oceans just as within us, so by syncing up with her, we are taken gently through the ebbs and flows of life naturally.
