Harnessing the Lunar Glow: Why Full Moon Circles Are Gaining Popularity

With the last supermoon of the year amidst us, this felt like the perfect time to explore the moon and our fascination with it in a post. 

The moon has captivated humanity for centuries, its rhythmic cycle influencing tides, agriculture, and even our moods. Lately, there's been a resurgence of interest in harnessing the moon's energy, particularly during the full moon phase. But what exactly is a full moon circle, and why are so many people drawn to them?

The Lunar Cycle: A Dance of Light and Shadow

The moon undergoes a continuous transformation, cycling through eight distinct phases over approximately 29.5 days. This lunar dance is a visual reminder of the constant ebb and flow of energy in the universe. The full moon, when the moon is fully illuminated by the sun, represents a peak, a culmination of energy.

Full Moon: A Time of Heightened Energy

Many believe the full moon amplifies our emotions, intentions, and spiritual connections. It's seen as an opportune time for releasing what no longer serves us and inviting in new beginnings. This heightened energy is what draws people to full moon circles.

What Happens in a Full Moon Circle?

Full moon circles are gatherings where people come together to harness this lunar energy. These circles can take many forms, but common practices include:

• Healing: Participants may engage in activities to release emotional baggage, promote physical well-being, or address past traumas.
• Activations: Some circles focus on awakening dormant energies within themselves or connecting to spiritual guides and higher realms.
• Energy work: Practices like Reiki, crystal healing, and sound healing are often incorporated to amplify the flow of energy.
• Manifestation: Many use the full moon's energy to set intentions, visualize their desires, and charge crystals to attract their goals.

The Feminine Connection

The moon is often associated with feminine energy, intuition, and creativity. Full moon circles can provide a safe and supportive space for exploring these aspects of the self, fostering deep connection and empowerment.

The Power of Collective Intention

Beyond the moon's influence, the power of full moon circles lies in the collective intention and the sense of community. When people gather with a shared purpose, their energies combine to create a powerful force for transformation.
