All Things Moon

The moon governs our emotions, connecting us to its energy. As a full moon approaches, we often experience heightened feelings, reflecting the emotional energy that needs release.

The moon amplifies both positive and negative energies, especially during a full moon, offering transformational potential. One way to harness this energy is through moon water, created by charging water under the full moon's light.

For centuries, cultures worldwide have utilized the moon in rituals for empowerment and manifestation. By making moon water, we tap into ancient wisdom to attract what we desire. The following moon water rituals have greatly benefited me, and I incorporate them monthly for abundance and spiritual cleansing. Here’s how to get started.

Moon Water Ritual

What you’ll need:

Mason jar, bowl or large jug
Purified, spring or distilled water

Instructions:

Fill container with water. I prefer a jar with a lid to prevent bugs and critters from accessing it. This is especially important if you plan on ingesting your moon water.
Place the jar under the full moon for the entire night. It is best if you find a spot that is not blocked by buildings or other objects to allow the moon light to penetrate the jar without obstruction.
Bless your water and set your intentions. This is the time for you to pray to your higher power and ask your guides and the moon for assistance. If you are a reiki practitioner, infuse the power of reiki into the water by drawing any of the reiki symbols over the jar or channeling the energy through your hands as you hold it.
The next morning your moon water is ready for use. Collect it and use in one of the 10 ways listed below.

How to use moon water:

Energize your crystals with moon water. Place your crystals in a jar with some moon water to cleanse and empower the crystals. Clear quartz is an amplifier of energy and can transform negative energy into positive energy. Add this crystal to the moon water for extra umph.
Cleanse yourself with a moon bath. Fill the tub with warm water. Add epsom salt and a couple of handfuls of white flower petals for purification or red rose petals to attract love. Then add a few cups of moon water to the bath. I sometimes like to add crystals and essential oils to the bath too. Soak for 15-20 minutes.
Drink your moon water. Take a sip or two everyday to empower yourself with the energy of the moon. Make sure you use purified, spring or distilled water if you are going to ingest your moon water, and keep it refrigerated.
Use your moon water to make essential oil perfumes for yourself and home clearing sprays like this Smudge Spray.
Water your plants with it. Plants will benefit from the energy of the moon.
Place moon water in a cup on your altar to amplify your intentions and goals.
Use it as a daily aura cleanse. Put it in a spray bottle and spray around your aura to cleanse your energy every morning before leaving your home.
Moon water for beauty and self care. Use your moon water to enhance your natural beauty by making a toner with it. Add a few drops of lavender essential oil in a bottle with the moon water and use daily after cleansing your face or as a refresher throughout the day.
Diffuse your moon water in your home. Place moon water into your aromatherapy diffuser with the essential oil or oils of your choice to clear the air and enhance the effect of the oils you use. For example, wild orange is the oil of abundance. Want more abundance in your life? Add a few drops of wild orange to the diffuser along with your moon water.
Get creative and use this moon water to manifest your soul’s desire. Make your own ritual and allow the energy of the full moon to support you.
