If we do not live in the rhythm of the lunar cycle, we most likely will feel mood swings. Moreover, our emotional and even physical condition may deteriorate. Therefore, it is very important to understand the influence of nature on us and learn to live in harmony with it. Knowledge of the lunar cycles makes our lives much more pleasant and easier because we no longer “swim against the current” and contradict the world around us anymore. In addition, our health is significantly improved, because the internal processes in our body begin to occur in the most harmonious ways in resonance with the external.

If you want to influence the quality of the moon in your life, harmonize it and reconnect with lunar power, then full moon bath rituals are the most powerful and pleasant way to do it.

In this article, I want to share with you my three all-time favorite full moon bath rituals I like to perform. And as a bonus, I’ll give you some tips on other practices you can do for balancing the Moon in your life.

Full Moon Bath Rituals

Full Moon Bath Ritual for Rejuvenation

During the full Moon period, the Moon has a rejuvenating, soothing effect on our body. That’s why it’s very beneficial to use the Moon’s energy for rejuvenation benefits.

It is very good if you have access to the ocean, a lake or a pool during this period. Then just go and bathe in the moonlit path, realizing all the goodness of this moment. While you’re swimming, imagine how your cells are updated, wrinkles are smoothed, and the whole body is rejuvenated.

If you are in an urban environment, then collect water in a jug and put it on the windowsill or take it out into the backyard, so that the Moon is reflected in the water. Let the water soak up the energy of the Moon for a while. Enter the tub with cool water, and pour into it the water from the jug. In a calm and meditative state, take a bath before going to bed. Feeling how all the cells of your body rejuvenate, the skin is filled with radiance and brilliance.

Full Moon Bath Ritual “Bathing in the Moonlight”

This is one of the easiest full Moon bath rituals to perform.

This ritual will help you with sexual appeal. Prepare a big jar, a silver spoon, three lemons, petals of three yellow roses (or a handful of dry Linden flowers, or chamomile), rose essential oil (or lemon, or patchouli, etc.).

The preparation part of the ritual should be performed out during the day before the full moon.

Early in the morning, pour clean water into the jar and put a silver spoon in it. Water should stand for at least 6 hours. Cut the slices of three lemons, put them in a jar, add rose petals (dried flowers must be brewed with boiling water and infused for 20 minutes) and essential oil. Put the jar on the windowsill so that it permeates the moonlight, and leave for the night.

The next day, in the evening, during the actual full Moon time, fill up the bathtub with warm water and slowly pour the contents of the jar. Then lie down in the bath, close your eyes and imagine swimming in a lake of moonlight, and visualize that you are absorbing lunar energy.

Take a bath for at least 20 minutes.

Cleansing Full Moon Bath Ritual

This is one of my favorite full Moon bath rituals!

This full Moon bath ritual will help you cleanse the body, mind, and spirit internal and external negativity and stagnant energy. It can be performed on the full Moon or the waning phase of the moon following the full Moon.

This ritual should be performed three nights in a row: the night before the full Moon, the full moon night, the night after the full Moon. Or you can perform it during the full Moon itself and two days later.

Cleanse the Energy of Your Bathroom

Before performing this ritual you should cleanse the bathroom itself with prayers, burning sage, or incense.

Intention

Set the intention for your cleansing bath – what do you want to let go of? For example, the root cause of a disease, anxiety, fear, or chronic negativity. It can also be envy, a negative dialogue with yourself, or obstacles in obtaining harmonious relationships in personal or professional activities.

Be ready to let go of all the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental consequences of trauma, hurtful words, evil actions, and negative thinking not only directed at yourself but also coming from you.

Candle

Prepare a white candle in advance, place it in a white or transparent candlestick or glass. Offer words or a prayer of gratitude to the Creator, the Moon, the Spirit, the Power for this healing procedure, for the spiritual gift given to the plants that you will use, which are given to us to help in healing and purification. Ask for the protection and blessings of spirit, the ancestors, the moon, and your mentors and guides.

Herbs

Take the herbs. White sage is required, Basil and rosemary are desirable. You can also add lavender, mint or lemon, and marigolds. Boil water in a large pot and add a large handful of each herb.

Another good way is to wrap all the herbs in a piece of natural fabric. You can also bind a large bunch of herbs if they are collected or purchased in whole plants and this beam then carry out the cleansing.

Bring the herbs to a boil and then turn it off. Fill the bath up to three-quarters and add the herbs. If you use herbs in the fabric, make the bath water hotter and wait until they give their strength to the water.

Lie Down in the Bathtub

You should lie in the bath for at least 15 minutes.

It is extremely important that the water washed every part of your body, including your head. You can water yourself from a mug.

Intention

Now, when you water yourself or lie in the bath, it is recommended to say this intention:

“I return any energy that I may have received from someone, consciously or unconsciously, to my inner source, with blessing, peace, and love. I also take back my own personal power and energy that I have given, consciously or unconsciously, to restore integrity and balance.”

It is best to say it out loud, with a strong intention three times.

Note

When the cleansing is over, do not wash off the herbs and do not dry yourself off with a towel – let the body and head dry completely on their own.

For at least three days, refrain from watching violent or sad movies, and from being around people who don’t resonate with your views, dreams, and spiritual pathway.

Green Tara Mantra is an appeal to the mother of all Buddhas. In Tibet, Tara is revered as a goddess-mother, forgiving and giving love and blessing.

“You know, when there is some really serious pain or problem, somehow, naturally, even grown-ups call on their mother. However, Tara is much closer to you than a mother. Tara is called “mother” because it is the mother who gives birth to children. The meaning of Tara is the transcendental wisdom of great bliss, seeing the absolute truth and the conventional truth of all existence.

“This is the absolute guru – the actual, real guru. All Buddhas are born from this absolute guru, this transcendental wisdom of non-dual bliss and voidness. In reality, every Buddha is the embodiment of this absolute guru and the essence of all the Buddhas is the absolute guru: one manifests in many; many manifest in one. The guru manifests in all these various aspects of Buddha. This is the real meaning of the guru; this is what you should think and understand”. – Lama Kyabje Zopa Rinpoche.

Green Tara

There are twenty-one manifestations of goddess Tara. These manifestations have their distinctive features, and each of them has its own mantra. But among all manifestations, Green Tara occupies a fundamental place.

Before reaching Buddha consciousness, Tara was a woman walking on the bodhisattva path. This woman made a vow to continue her journey until she reached Enlightenment in the female body. After reaching the highest Enlightenment, she manifested herself in different female forms.

Tara supports those who seek Enlightenment and those who seek protection in it. She is an example that anyone can achieve Enlightenment, regardless of whether it is a man or a woman.

By chanting her mantra people defeat all demons, destroy obstacles and achieve fulfillment of their desires.

Green Tara helps everyone who makes a sincere request to her in difficult situations. She is the guardian of the family, heart, helps to create a family, and especially helps women who want to have children and pregnant women. She also lengthens life and removes all obstacles.

The Text And The Meaning Of Green Tara Mantra

It is very important to practice visualization when you’re chanting this mantra. Pronounce the words of Green Tara Mantra loudly, clearly, paying attention to each letter and sound.

OM TARE TUTTARE TURE SVAHA

OM represents a combination of the three pure sounds that signify the holy body, speech, and mind.

TARE means liberation from samsara, and in so doing, Tara liberates us from dissatisfaction and suffering.

TUTTARE means liberation from the eight dangerous thoughts: pride, envy, anger, avarice, wrong views, attachments, doubt, and delusion.

TURE means liberation from physical and mental disease, the afflictions of the subdued, disturbed mind, ignorance, and negative actions.

SVAHA means establishing the root of the pain in the heart.

By chanting Green Tara Mantra we receive her divine blessings, which purify everything that isn’t pure in us. We transform our body, speech, and mind into Tara’s holy body, speech, and mind.

Read this mantra 108 times.

Green Tara Visualization

While chanting the mantra you need to practice the visualization described below.

Imagine a white Lotus, on which the Moon rests. On the top of the Moon visualize the seed syllable TAM. It is green, and it symbolizes the enlightened mind of the healer. The syllable radiates light to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas as an offering and returns with their blessing back.

Then the light radiates to all beings, eliminates their suffering, sickness, and darkness, and, for the benefit of others, returns back to the seed syllable, after which it is converted into Green Tara.

Now visualize yourself in the form of Green Tara. Her skin is green. She’s sitting in the Half Lotus Pose (the right leg is slightly extended forward, and the left one is preloaded). She’s radiating light. Her right hand is in the gesture of Supreme giving. Her left hand is raised in the mudra of Three Jewels, holding the stem of the blue flower – utpala.

Green Tara’s eyes express compassion and kindness.

There is a white OM on her forehead.

It’s signifying the essence of her holy body. White light is coming from OM. It purifies all obstacles and negative karma.

There is the red syllable AH on her throat.

It is the essence of her holy speech. Red light is coming from AH. It purifies negative karma caused by speech.

There is the blue syllable HUM on Tara’s heart.

It’s the essence of her holy mind. Blue light is coming from the HUM syllable. It purifies all obstacles and negative karma caused by the impure thoughts of the mind.

Visualize a green syllable Tam inside the Moon. Place it in your heart. Visualize along the edge of the Moon the syllables of Green Tara mantra. During the Green Tara mantra chanting, the syllables are moving in a circle clockwise. The light from the seed syllable and the syllables of the mantra is spreading in all directions. This light is reaching all beings requiring healing, eliminating their disease, and they themselves become Taras. There are also Moons in their chests with the syllable TAM and the mantra. The light from them is spreading to all other beings, and so on.

Amethyst crystal is one of the favorite gemstones of magicians. It has the ability to connect people with the energy of the higher spheres. Amethyst is more susceptible to magic than other crystals. They say that amethyst is capable of storing magical energy for hundreds of years. In this article, I want to share with you 8 ways to use amethyst for your spiritual practice.

1. Third Eye Activation

The Third eye is the center of our perception. It is responsible for our vision and awareness of everyday life. When the Third eye chakra is open and balanced, we are open to new ideas, dreams, and visions, and we can control the flow of energy within all chakras.

Place the amethyst crystal on your Third eye and let the energy flow out of the left hand into your Heart chakra. And then let the energy flow out of the right hand into your Solar plexus chakra. This simple practice, on the one hand, activates the Third eye, and on the other — aligns its energy due to the energies of the Heart center and Solar plexus. This is a simple method of chakra alignment.

2. Crown Chakra Activation

Amethyst crystal is also a great tool for Crown chakra activation, facilitating access to the divine.

The Crown chakra is our gateway to the expanded Universe outside our bodies. It controls us, our thoughts, and the way we interact with the world around us.

The Crown chakra is the source of our beliefs and our spirituality. It connects us to the Higher planes of existence and is a source of universal energy and truth.

When the Crown chakra is in balance, our energy is in balance as well. We know our place in the universe and see things as they are. We calmly treat failures, knowing that they are important lessons we need to learn during this life.

To balance your Crown chakra use light purple amethyst crystals. Their purple radiance has universal vitality, the magic of dreams and inspiration.

3. Healing

The strong healing energy of Amethyst crystal can convert lower vibrations into higher frequencies, transforming negative energy into love.

For example, you can place amethyst on certain organs or on your Third eye area during a Reiki session. It will help to harmoniously integrate healing energy in your body.

4. Cleansing

Amethyst has the ability to cleanse a person and the surrounding space from negative energies and influences. When you’re cleansing your energy from negative influence with an amethyst crystal, it creates a resonating shield of spiritual Light around your body.

5. Protection

The constant wearing of amethyst will help the soul to find relief from grief, will give calm, balance and harmony. In addition, amethyst protects against the evil eye, black magic, and damage.

Put amethyst crystal under the pillow for the night. It will bring good dreams, relieve nightmares and protect you from astral attacks.

Amethyst serves as a barrier against negative energies, psychic attack, geomagnetic stress, and unhealthy environment. Amethyst is a valuable protective talisman for those who are engaged in psychic or intuitive healing.

6. Charging Water

Water charged with amethyst helps with colds, liver and kidney diseases, strengthens the brain and stomach. In addition, this water can help to remove speech defects (such as stuttering, for example).

7. Meditation

Amethyst is one of the most powerful crystals for meditation. It provides wonderful peaceful energy for meditation and helps to develop intuition and psychic abilities.

The amethyst color stimulates the highest vibrations of the Third Eye. Placing the crystal directly on this area provides a serene meditative state. Amethyst leads the consciousness and thinking to a deeper understanding of the purpose of life and Universal laws.

To connect with the amethyst energy wear the crystal on the wrist of the left hand if you’re a woman, and on the right wrist if you’re a man. If you have an altar then place amethyst crystals there.

Amethyst occupies the North-Eastern point on the Crystal medicine wheel, which is used to heal and harmonize life. For a person who meditates in this direction, the decision-making process is much easier, as he receives a common sense and spiritual guidance. This meditation brings new ideas, connects cause and effect.

8. Feng Shui

In Feng Shui, amethyst is used as protection against the infidelity of spouses. For this Feng Shui masters advise the following.

To safeguard against infidelity, place an amethyst slab tied with red string and tied to a bedpost under the foot of the bed of the wife’s side if the husband tends to cheat; and on the husband’s side if it is the wife who is vulnerable to outside flirting or cheating.

Conclusion

Amethyst opens the door to the highest divine knowledge and helps in the process of spiritual awakening. That is why it should be worn by people who seek to reveal the gift of clairvoyance. In addition, the crystal promotes intuition and the subtle perception of the world. It heals mental wounds, depression, and reduces anxiety. Therefore, everyone who’s in a process of spiritual awakening and following a spiritual path should definitely connect with amethyst crystal consciousness and gain its assistance.
