Balancing emotions during a full moon can be especially important, since it tends to amplify energy, stir up emotions, and even affect sleep. Here are some ways to stay grounded and emotionally balanced:
1. Acknowledge the Energy
The full moon often brings things to the surface. You might feel more emotional, anxious, or energized.
Journal it out: Write down what you're feeling without judgment.
Reflect: Ask yourself what the emotion is trying to show you.
2. Breathe & Ground
When emotions run high, grounding techniques help anchor you.
Deep breathing: Try box breathing (inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4).
Nature time: Walk barefoot on grass, touch a tree, or sit under the moon.
3. Practice Mindfulness
Stay present. The moon can stir up past wounds or future anxieties.
Meditation: Even 5 minutes of mindful breathing helps.
Moon gazing: Sit quietly and watch the moon—it’s calming and centering.
4. Release Ritual
Let go of what no longer serves you.
Write what you want to release on paper and burn it (safely).
Speak intentions aloud—what are you ready to let go of?
5. Cleanse Your Space
Energetic clutter can add to emotional overload.
Smudge with sage or palo santo.
Salt bath: Cleanse your aura with a warm bath and sea salt.
6. Stay Hydrated & Sleep
The moon can disrupt your sleep, which messes with emotions.
Drink water.
Create a calming bedtime routine (no screens, soft music, herbal tea).
7. Connect & Express
Don’t bottle it up.
Talk to someone you trust.
Dance, draw, cry, sing—just move the emotion through your body.
Mini Full Moon Ritual (15–30 min)
You’ll need:
A candle (white or any calming color)
A journal or piece of paper
Pen
A bowl of water or a cup of tea
Optional: crystals (moonstone, selenite, amethyst), sage/incense
1. Set the Space
Light your candle.
Cleanse the space with sage or incense if you have it.
Take a few deep breaths—imagine breathing in calm and exhaling heaviness.
2. Write & Release
Journal: “What am I ready to release?” Let the thoughts flow.
Write a list on a separate paper of what no longer serves you—old habits, fears, patterns.
Read it out loud (if you feel comfortable). Then, safely burn or tear it.
Let that shit go. *
3. Speak Your Truth
Place your hand on your heart or solar plexus and say aloud:
“Under this full moon, I release what no longer aligns with my highest self. I make space for peace, clarity, and growth.”
You can personalize it too—make it yours.
4. Sip & Soothe
Drink your water or tea slowly. Imagine it cleansing you from the inside out. Feel gratitude. Just being here is enough.
Full Moon Affirmations for Emotional Balance
Pick one or more that resonate and repeat them (in your mind or aloud):
“I allow my emotions to rise and pass like waves.”
“I am safe to feel. I am safe to heal.”
“I trust the cycles of life, just as I trust the moon.”
“I release what weighs me down. I rise lighter.”
“I honor my growth, my grief, and my glow.”
