Full Moon Release Ritual
The full moon is the peak of the lunar cycle — bright, emotional, illuminating. It's a powerful time to release what you no longer want to carry into the next chapter.
Step 1 — Make space
Light a candle. Put on calm music. Make sure you won't be disturbed for 15 minutes.
Step 2 — Take stock
Write a list of what you're ready to release — beliefs, habits, relationships, fears, old versions of yourself.
Step 3 — Feel it fully
Don't skip the grief or anger. Let yourself actually feel what you're releasing. That's the medicine.
Step 4 — Burn or tear
Safely burn the list (or tear it into pieces and bin it). Physically letting go matters.
Step 5 — Replace it
Write one short sentence about what you're inviting in instead. Keep that page.
Find the moon phase for any date.

Absolutely — they're complementary halves of the cycle.
