Did you know that performing a Release Ceremony within the 8-hour window before the exact Full Moon phase is one of the most potent times for letting go of blockages that challenge your goals? ✨
(I.e. if the exact full moon is on 20 january at 13:00 pm. The powerful window is on that same day between 5:00 am and 13:00 pm)
Why This Timing is So Powerful:
Culmination Energy: The Full Moon represents a peak—bringing clarity, heightened emotions, and the illumination of what no longer serves you.
Energetic Build-Up: The hours leading up to the exact Full Moon are when its energy is at its strongest, making it the perfect time to identify and release limiting beliefs, fears, and obstacles.
Optimal Alignment for Letting Go: Just like the New Moon is ideal for setting intentions, the Full Moon is the best time for cleansing, surrendering, and breaking free from anything blocking your manifestations.
What to do next:
Look up the exact full moon phase for your specific timezone: https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/
Plan 30 to 60 mins ceremony time within the 8 hour window before the exact full moon phase
Choose a journal or map to keep your ceremonies archived
Extra tip: Put all full moon dates with exact time in your calendar
🌕 How to Perform a Release Ceremony
Find a Quiet Space – Set up a peaceful environment where you won’t be disturbed. Light a candle or burn sage to create a sacred space.
Write Down What No Longer Serves You – Be honest with yourself. What fears, patterns, or limiting beliefs are holding you back?
Read Your List Aloud with Intention – Acknowledge these blockages and affirm that you are ready to let them go.
Visualize each intention – See them as if they already came true
Burn or Tear the Paper – Symbolize your release by burning (safely) or tearing up the paper, allowing the energy to dissolve.
Express Gratitude – Thank the universe for the lessons learned and affirm that you are stepping into a new chapter with clarity and empowerment.
Ground Yourself – Drink water, meditate, or take a bath to complete the energetic shift.
🌕 What Happens After Releasing?
You create space for new opportunities and aligned manifestations.
You feel lighter, clearer, and more in flow with your intentions.
You step into the next lunar cycle free from resistance.
