New Moon Clearing Cleansing Healing Ritual

New Moon’s are potent times to anchor your intentions for the upcoming growing cycle. In my life creation, I’ve been working with that aspect very successfully for several years now.  But last month I was guided to do something new, an energetic internal clearing and cleansing ritual, for the next five new moons.

Diving deeper into my inner awareness, I realized this five month ritual was creating more space internally for my intentions to flourish. Doing it over the five moons means that I work with a moon of each element, therefore clearing each realm (emotional, energetic, mental, physical, and spiritual).

Last night I did the first one with great results and on the way home I was guided to share it with you in case it can assist you in any way.

First of all it is important to remember that anytime you want to create something new it helps if you clear the area first. Just like a garden, it flourishes best if you have an idea (intention/plan) of what you want to plant & where. Then you clear and till the soil, adding any amendments that will boost growth.This metaphor makes a big difference when it comes to expanding your capacity in any area of life. The further you choose to express in the outer world, the more you need to clear and strengthen from the inside.

I’ve been focusing on increasing my business abilities for well over a year now and for the past few months I’ve known that I had another layer of clearing work to do in my second chakra around it. I had been listening for guidance as to the best way to do it, and in February, I was nurturing myself with some of the Sacred Dance Guild Board of Directors, after an intense week, at this amazing spa called JeJu, in Duluth, GA.

As I was relaxing and going deep inside my I received the plan. I was to come back to the spa alone for five new moons and spend time deeply relaxing and nourishing myself, then do a “hip bath” with the intention to clear.

Yesterday on the Pisces, watery, emotional, dream realm new moon, I had my first time at JeJu scheduled on my calendar. I had almost decided the day before that I just didn’t have time to go based on my work load but in the dream time I heard that it was most important that I take that time for myself and go.

In my dreams that night I also received several messages around the clearing needed. As I began my inward journey I found a previously unseen, very deep layer of emotional insecurity that stemmed from childhood that had been impacting my progress. I also saw the influence this pattern had as it subtly played out in different parts of my life over the years.

During my work day, I allowed this to float around in my consciousness as I did what I needed to do. Once I arrived at the spa I took my time and allowed myself to slowly unwind into the clearing space I needed. I had a relaxing dinner, laid in the salt, gold & silver, gem stone, charcoal, jade, mud, and cool kivas. Then soaked in the hot pools before proceeding to the hip bath.

My intention was firmly in place from several hours of connecting with my body and listening to my guidance as I began the hip bath. Almost immediately I saw where the imprint of the emotional wound stemmed from and I had an even deeper realization of how delicate the emotional body is during childhood.

Now many people have experienced wounds to their emotional body some during childhood and some later in life. I was recently talking with a therapist who has been working with post war military emotional trauma. This type of wound can come from many things and in different degrees of severity.

The question is how do we uncover it, heal it, clear it, and release the hold the pattern has on our lives. The emotional body very much responds to ceremony and ritual. It needs a space and a place to consciously release and honor the journey. That is why we have ceremonies such as funerals or weddings. We need them emotionally.

As I sat there I realized the childhood emotional insecurity that was stored in my second chakra came from spanking. It was a common practice as I was growing up and it deeply impacts the first and second chakras. As a child there is no way to know this, nor how to release its impact.

It is only later in life when there is enough skill in working with the elemental realm of water that the clearing can be fully done in a sacred way, free from blame, judgment, or victimization. Simply creating a ritual to release the trauma in the emotional body and sending much love to all.

I felt amazing when I left JeJu last night and so grateful that I listened to my guidance and took the time I needed to clear. Rituals and ceremonies to help the emotional body can be created anywhere and anytime. And if you want extra guidance and an energetic boost choose a watery new or full moons.

If you want to learn more about working with each of the elements (Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit) and their corresponding realms, several of our facilitators are starting in-person Natural Rhythms 100 Foundation Power courses soon and, on April 3, I am starting the very first NR100 on-line home study course. So no matter where you live, what your budget, or what type of learning environment is right for you, we have a way for you to access the potent elemental teachings that have helped so many.
