The Full Moon Ritual for Manifesting

Looking for a fun, carefree, & inspiring full moon ritual that will supercharge your manifestations? Same.This is exactly why I have compiled the ultimate full moon ritual over the years. I am excited to share my personal full moon ritual with you in hopes that it will supercharge your intentions and help you take FULL advantage of the energy that is available during a full moon.

*ELEVATED CALENDAR*

So during a full moon, the moon receives the light of the sun – shining back to us in the sky, illuminating parts of ourselves that may had previously been in the shadows. That is why the full moons have such a stigma – because they do bring things, thoughts, and energies to the surface. But this isn’t meant to be a bad thing, it is meant to be empowering. By bringing our shadows to our conscious mind the full moon gives us a gift of personal enlightenment. Isn’t that beautiful? Now you see why I have been a big full moon ritual-er.  Okay, enough about my love of the moon and onto my full moon ritual.

See what your moon sign is and why it is important here

  1. Clear Space: It is time to write down everything, every thought, and every emotion that you want to release during the energy of this full moon. Whatever this moon is bringing up for you that you want to be done with, write it down. Get raw and get detailed with your feelings and fears. The more time you take with this step, the more powerful your full moon ritual will be and the more you can let go. Heck – even cry if you want to, ya feel?
  2. Release : While you are releasing what you have written down on paper with the power of the full moon, it is also important that you do your personal energetic part as well. Harness forgiveness in this step. Forgiveness for yourself and for anyone who you feel has wronged you – especially on that piece of paper. Let the moon really nourish you during this step. 
  3. Amplify: It is time to amplify one of the most high frequency emotions, gratitude.  On a separate piece of paper, take some time to write down what you are grateful for. It can be something as simple as the light of the moon, the love of someone you hold dear, or the Earth beneath your feet. Gratitude is powerful and with the full moon helping you amplify – it is even MORE powerful.
  4. I AM: Time to bring in the new. Take a look at the paper from Step 1 and think about what you want after all of this is released. Who do you want to be? Use the I AM to create affirmations and intentions for your future. 
  5. Burn, baby: Go somewhere safe to burn the papers that hold what you want to release during the energy of this full moon from step 1. I love to do it in the fire pit in our back yard under the moonlight. I’ll tell you what – there are few things as cathartic as this. If you do any of the steps from this post, I hope you at least do this one. 
  6. Energy RenewalWhat makes you feel brand new?Whether it is a bath with epsom salt, diffusing your favorite essential oils, a yoga flow, or a meditation – DO THAT. It’s time to bring in new energy from the moon. 
  7. Celebrate: Honor yourself for showing up for your soul tonight. This not only effects you, but it puts a ripple out into the Universe and into the lives of everyone you interact with. Don’t you think the world could use a little bit more of this? I know that I for one am grateful for you for doing this ritual with me.During this step, enjoy and revel in your full moon experience now. Pour a glass of champagne or blast your favorite song and dance around in pure bliss. 

Get outside and let the light of the moon shine on you baby! Heres to manifesting the lives of our dreams!

Quarantine Update from Reb & Cath

Quarantine, but make it fashion

What a crazy roller coaster the past 3 months have been! For us, and for the entire world. Baby Phoenix was born on March 3rd, right before we all went into quarantine, helping us mark the time we have been staying at home. I can’t exactly speak for Cath when I describe how becoming a new mother during a pandemic has been – I’ll let her do that when she’s ready – but I can give you an update on how we are / have been during this time.

Catherine has obviously been on maternity leave, and for the first two months I was working my day job at home! I think it’s safe to say that we both went a little stir crazy at times, like everyone else. Catherine, adjusting to life with a newborn at home and me trying to work at home while my husband had zoom calls with his students.

Throughout past three months, though, we have learned some valuable lessons, spent some quality time together with each other and our families and are adjusting to a slower paced lifestyle.

How I Upgraded my Life in 30 Days with Dr. Joe Dispenza

As seen on cathclaire.com

dr joe dispenza the crystal press blog

I have been a student of all things personal development since 2011. This obsession was sparked when the *hit* book The Secret by Rhonda Byrnes came out (see more about my feelings on The Secret here) and hasn’t stopped since. The Secret cracked open a part of me that I didn’t even know existed and ever since that book, I have been reading voraciously/watching videos on Youtubeabout anything and everything to do with quantum physics, the law of attraction, and beyond. It can get kinda esoteric and weird, in the best way.

A Weekend at Getaway House

John and I had the pleasure of getting out of town for the weekend and staying at the Virginia Getaway House, a tiny house outpost near the Shenandoah National Park.  Just an hour and a half away from Richmond, it was an easy trip, the last part of which was was beautiful back country roads.  The check-in process was almost too easy, as they texted us the name of our cabin & the lock code on the day of and we could just pull right up and get in the tiny house with ease! We unpacked our cooler, brought our things inside and immediately got to some hard core relaxing.
