I’ve always loved the idea of implementing a schedule into spiritual practices— especially when that calendar is dictated by solely the moon, in all its mystery and grace. Over my years of exploring the Law of Attraction and various New Age practices for spiritual cleansing, I’ve found that aligning my manifestation methods to flow with the birth and death of the moons New and Full phases reaped powerful benefits. Whether it was the aura of ritual or genuine control of the magnetic energy that comes with these particular positions of the moon, I felt focused in the purpose of my practice and confident that the universe was working with me to bring my dreams into fruition. Either way, I am a strong believer in reality is created by the mind, and the assurance in these manifestation sessions being undoubtedly effective had already put me steps ahead in bringing miracles unto my life. Whether you believe in the power of the moon’s energy or are still a skeptic, it doesn’t hurt to try. Here’s what I’ve learned about the moon’s phases and how to plan your manifestation practices around them.
