A three part ritual for the new + full moons

New Moon

At every new moon, set aside time for a 15 minute ritual in which you will formally set your positive intentions for this moon cycle. To begin, create a space for ritual wherever you are. You can do this by lighting a candle, incense, or herbs, symbolizing a separate space from the rest of the day. Try to clear your mind of any outside influences. This moment is for you only.

Part One

Begin the ritual with the Mystic Kiss Lunar Oil. 

Place three pumps of oil into your palm and warm the oil by rubbing your hands together. Gently massage the oil into your skin and in your mind’s eye, visualize the intention you’d like to set for this moon cycle. Envision all of your other thoughts falling peacefully away as you focus with clarity on your positive intention. Look at the details, then zoom out to see the big picture. Consider how it would feel to accomplish. Gently splash your face with warm water. Continue focusing on your clear intention for this new moon as you rinse off the oil. To remove the rest of the cleansing oil, gently pat with a warm face cloth.

Now that you have a very clear vision of your intention, write it down on a tiny piece of paper, and place it in your Mystic Box. Place the Mystic Box somewhere that has significance to you, perhaps on a shelf, dresser, altar, or wherever feels right. Follow your instinct. Placing it somewhere where you will be reminded of it every day guides more energy to your positive intention.

Part Two

Apply the Mystic Kiss Galaxy Clay Mask. As you mix equal parts water and clay powder, offer gratitude to Mother Earth for all she provides. Apply a thin layer of the clay mask to your face.

Next, bring yourself to a space where you can deeply reflect and dream. I recommend laying down and closing your eyes with a relaxing playlist, but do what feels intuitively right to you. That might be doodling, journaling, stretching, making music, or sitting in silence. Do whatever best allows you to connect with your divine mind. Imagine how your life will look and feel when your intention comes to be. What emotions will you have? Excitement? Happiness? Relief? Gratitude? Allow yourself to feel the emotions as though your intention has already come to be. Smile about it!!

Visualize these emotions as a color. Any color, whatever feels right to you. In your mind’s eye, see that color of the most beautiful sparkling light that you can imagine, filling the space in and around you with glowing beauty and positive feelings. Let yourself bask in this gorgeous glow until you feel the mask begin to tighten on your face. Remove the mask by gently rubbing in circles with a face cloth damp with warm water.

Part Three

Apply the Mystic Kiss Essence moisturizer. As you massage the moisturizer into your skin, visualize the color you chose to represent your intention, as glowing sparkling light. Feel the moisturizer and the beautiful, vibrant light nourishing your skin and spirit. Feel your whole body enveloped in the warm glow. Your intention is set. Thank the universe for hearing you.

End the new moon ritual by taking a few deep breaths to center yourself back into the world. On each day between the New & Full Moons, as you use the  moisturizer, envision the same beautifully sparkling color of light soaking into your skin and enveloping your energy field. Make each use of The Mystic Kiss Essence a moment filled with gratitude.

Full Moon

On the night of the full moon, light a candle or create your ritual space however you prefer. Take a bit of time to gaze into the flame, feeling the warmth and power of the fire’s energy. Open your Mystic Box and read your intention aloud three times. It’s okay to read it in your head too if that feels more natural.

Next, light the paper on fire, and place in a fire safe container to burn. A small cauldron, bowl, or ashtray work well. Be extremely careful during this part and if you don’t feel you can safely burn the paper, you can bury it instead.

As you burn or bury the paper, release your intention to the universe. Thank the universe for hearing you. Trust that good will magnetize to you and don’t worry about the outcome. So mote it be.

In the days after the full moon, during your daily Mystic Kiss Essence ritual, reflect on all the abundant beauty you have in your life. Don’t dwell on your intention, just trust the process.
