Full Moon Release

Sometimes, like clockwork, I feel restless around the full moon. I grew up in a Buddhist country, where every full moon is a national holiday (yup, don't ask me how the economy works–our tiny island has one of the highest numbers of holidays in the world: 25 public holidays).

But regardless of whether I may be restless for a holiday or not, I find that the full moon–the lead-up to it–is a great time to release and let go of things that have built up. Recently, I've been noticing rituals for releasing and, in turn, making space for things to manifest. Ironically, letting go of what you want can be the way to make it happen.

There are a couple of somatic techniques that may be therapeutic and cathartic. I started practising one of them last week. This involves writing down everything on my mind on a sheet of paper, or more, and then burning it. Another method, which may be Native American, is to write something down, tie it to a rock, and then let it sink in a river, lake, or other natural body of water.

I've yet to see the effects, but I find it relieving to have a transient space where I can write down what's weighing on me most, and then release it through a process that acknowledges it and makes room for its solution.

Just thought I’d share that. It’s a new practice for me, and it’s been nice to engage with the elements.
