Blue Moon Rituals - Yogamatter's blog
The silvery shimmering light of the moon has been a human miracle for thousands of years. While the white strip moves from new to full, we have already created fixed, firm, fasting and specific rituals after the lunar cycle in history. In fact, the moon under the stars in the night sky is somewhat ambitious and symbolic, which is a divine female energy and supposedly has a strong influence on our emotions. From full moon dance in Mexico to fasting in the Hindu tradition, the cleaning of pagan rituals and fertility ceremonies around the world, the moon has always been a source of inspiration, a night leader and a timekeeper. The lunar cycle was even one of the first aspects that made it possible for people to actually measure the time, so the word "moon" became the forerunner of the "month".
During the changing phases of the moon, the moon should project different energies; A full moon stands for energy, abundance and the highlight of a cycle. This is a time to let go, which no longer serves to clean and clean us by "smearing" all loose ends with herbs such as sage so that we can start the next cycle from the front. If you work on a project or have set an intention, a new moon is the time to complete and end it. Neumonden is all about novelty, the setting of intentions, starting new projects, focusing on new goals and preparing for the next cycle. Usually we experience a full moon and a new moon around every month, but when two full moons occur in the same month, this is considered a very favorable occasion. This special full moon (which will soon arrive on October 31st
There are many meanings that are attributed to the expression "once in a blue moon", although the moon, which actually takes on a blue tone, is not. Instead, it is likely that the expression is related to the rarity of this second monthly full moon, which brings more strength and opportunity to combine with its rich symbolism. When the rare and mighty blue moon of this October arrives, it offers the opportunity to take part in the rituals of the blue moon or create them in order to strengthen our relationship to nature and to celebrate this unlikely event. Read on for five rituals of the blue moon to honor this rare blue moon in October.
let go of long -term negative habits
Since a blue moon rarely occurs, it offers us the opportunity to do things that we normally do not do and to make a significant change in life. With your Blue Moon rituals, select a habit, a thought or an action that you want to leave and let go, and determine the intention to release you. Choose something that you could otherwise let out, e.g. B. harmful soliloquy, a long -term habit that was difficult to break, or maybe years of negative body image perception that you finally want to let go. Whatever it is, let it count this time. Choose what you want to let go, write it on a piece of paper and throw it into the fire. If you cannot make or find a fire, write it on a sheet and throw the sheet into a flowing current.
use opportunity
If you are currently facing opportunities, changes in life or an invitation to change your life, your Blue Moon rituals could be the time to get involved. If something is offered to you that appears like a unique opportunity, you should step in this time and take advantage of it instead of holding back. If you have thought about changing your career or making a relationship decision, this could be the perfect time for it.
Care clear disorder and clarity
Intuitive we can feel as it influences us to be surrounded by disorder. In a room full of things that you do not need or does not want, the energy tends to be heavier and "cloudier". Chaos can actually cause more stress and distraction in life. In order to clarify your mind and to make the way out of them metaphorically, free your home from undesirable or non -used objects. Sell or donate them and only keep what inspires and raises you.
be brave and blue
Even if the moon does not become blue this month, we can still use it as an inspiration to use the power of the color blue with our rituals for the blue moon. Blue is supposed to represent serenity, wisdom, space, grace and inspiration and has a deeply calming effect on the mind. Decide for a blue scarf or collect blue crystals such as lapislazuli, blue howling and blue agate when the full moon arrives. They stand for cleaning, vision and truth, calm and can all help to improve our communication skills.
reinforce & illuminate
The full moon is intended to intensify and illuminate all emotions, thoughts or personality traits that we are currently. Be aware of your way of thinking when the full moon approaches and use it to your advantage. Can you maintain gratitude with your Blue Moon rituals? Can you concentrate on a positive future? Which aspects of you do you estimate the most and can you illuminate and celebrate this blue moon?
