A New Moon Manifesting Ritual to Make All your Dreams Come True!
Why Manifest during the New Moon?
The New Moon is when the moon is not visible in the night-sky – it’s at the opposite end of the Lunar Cycle as the Full Moon. There is no better time to set goals and plan your future than during the new moon. If the moon can alter the movement of the oceans, imagine it’s impact on us humans!
While many people celebrate the power of the Full Moon, the New Moon is actually a more powerful time for manifesting and setting intentions. This is the time to cultivate our ideas and establish roots so that these ideas can grow as the moon continues its cycle towards Full. You can use this time every month to re-assess your goals, track your progress and create new goals.
Any New Moon ritual can be done within a couple of days before and after the New Moon – so don’t be disheartened if you can’t carve out time on the actual night of the New Moon because your manifestations will still work if you do them a couple of days before or after the New Moon. There is also no right or wrong way to do a manifesting ritual – do what you want with what you have! Over time, you will find your routine with what you enjoy doing and what you have available to you.
Suggested New Moon Ritual Tools:
Notebook and pen to write down manifestations/goals
Crystals
Sage or incense
Candles
Guided meditation or meditative/chilled music
Cushions, blankets
A sacred space
Suggested Steps for Preparing your Ritual:
Prepare your sacred space for your ritual by removing distractions and, if possible, artificial light. Light all the candles you’ve got in your house and gather some comfortable cushions and blankets. Add any indoor plants, candles, essential oils, crystals, stones, incense or anything else that you believe will make the ritual more powerful.
Sage yourself and the space to clear out any negative energy and invite positive energies in. Do this by lighting a sage bundle and waving it around the space – you can add chants or words as you wish like “Negative energies are not allowed here, I cleanse them and invite only positive energy into this space” or something similar. If you don’t have access to sage, you can burn incense or candles instead. *This step is optional but really elps!
Cleanse your mind by meditating – choose any guided meditation or sit in silence. Focus on grounding yourself during this – feeling your connection to the earth, imagining roots extending from you down to the earth.
Practice gratitude – say, out loud or to yourself, all of the things that you can think of to be grateful for in this present moment. Feel the gratitude and embody it. Gratitude is super important for manifesting – we vibrate higher when we are vibrating with gratitude, which allows our manifestations to come to fruition.
Now you should feel grounded, centred, calm and high on life. Now you are ready to perform your New Moon ritual with amplified effects!
The New Moon Ritual:
Declare your intentions or manifestations – this can be done verbally but works better if written down. Write out a few manifestations or intentions for the month ahead – think of how you want to feel or what you want to happen in the upcoming month.
Example manifestation/intention: I have abundance in my work, I have a consistent and joyful exercise routine, I have an abundance of money, etc.
2. Write affirmations for your intentions. These usually start with “I am…” or “I feel…” or “I have…”
Example: If your manifestation was “I have abundance in my work”, your affirmation could be “I love my work and the freedom and opportunities that it gives me”.
“I have a consistent and joyful exercise routine” – your affirmation could be “I love to exercise to honour my body and improve my health”
“I have an abundance of money” – your affirmation could be “I have money all around me”
3. Visualise your manifestations coming true – close your eyes and see these things happening, feel what they feel in your body when they happen. Really embody these manifestations. When you are finished with each one, say something (out loud or to yourself) like “I accept these things or something better into my life” then release that manifestation into the hands of the universe and move onto the next one.
Action is the Secret Ingredient
Manifesting only works if you take action. Read your affirmations (out loud or to yourself) everyday (or as often as you can remember) and embody what it feels like to believe them. You can return to your manifestations at any point and repeat Step 3 of the New Moon Ritual if you forget or get lost.
Remember that manifesting doesn’t work on your timeline and in your preferred way. Things that you asked for may come true in many different ways and some might feel negative but these are merely clearing space for new amazing things in your life. Always be specific with what you’re manifesting to help give the universe as much information as you can about what you’re asking for.
Remember your Manifestations
Each month during the new moon, you can choose to declare the same manifestations or to create new ones. Use this time to disregard any manifestations that you don’t feel connected to and fine-tune any previous manifestations. Happy Manifesting!
