A Full-Moon Crystal Ritual For Transcending Negativity

Not only is the full moon the brightest of all the moon phases, but it also has the potential to fill us with profound emotional awareness and creativity. And this beautiful moon is now upon us yet again.

Think of tonight's lunar event as an opportunity to let go and dispel anything that no longer serves you—a perfect milestone as we transition into fall and reflect whether we are on track or falling behind. Healing crystals can be amazing tools to help you tap into the full moon's restorative power.

I recently used crystals to welcome a full moon that fell right before my 40th birthday. The journey to that big day was at times overwhelming, at times surreal, at times filled with laughs and at others with tears. But the crystals helped me maintain a firm belief in my intentions and the power of positivity to continuously brighten my days. They prepared me for the changes I wanted to welcome into my life during this personal new year.

During a full moon, one must take a symbolic step toward an intention—whether it's to become healthier, more positive, or more responsible. This is the time to take the serious step. When we take a deep look within ourselves, we will find that at times we carry the weight of burdens that we must let go of. Created with meaning and intention, crystals are natural relics from the earth that can aid in the creation of inner balance and peace.
