Seven Spiritual Supermoon Rituals
The widely-used term supermoon came from astrologist, Richard Noelle, over 30 years ago. In the scientific community, it’s also called a perigee moon. What this means is that the distance in the moon’s orbit when it passes to Earth is at its closest point, bringing the moon about 50,000 km closer than at apogee, when the moon passes furthest from Earth. Visually, the moon looks approximately 20 percent larger and will have a strong effect on tides.
On the spiritual side, a full moon is held to be a powerful time for meditation, energy healing and recharging human energy field and chakras. Rituals and ceremonies taking place during full moons are a time-honored tradition, tracing back to many ancient cultures. It’s thought that the full moon shines down so much pure energy, anything it touches is imbued with incredible radiance and love. Thereby, it stands to reason that the supermoon effect amplifies that power and makes it even stronger.
Energy healing during this potent time can bring about mind-blowing results. The unbeatable illumination the supermoon provides is not only physical, but on the soul level as well. Lighting up corners of the subconscious and giving those who access it insights into their emotions, their souls and their paths, insures you’ll
definitely want to take advantage of the last supermoon of the year by trying these seven rituals:
1. Write Down Your Dreams
According to astrology, this full moon is highly associated with Pisces, a very dreamy sign. Therefore, you might have an increased amount or more vivid dreams than usual, and they might be important visions, prophecies or revelations of goals to chase. Jot them down as soon as you wake up in order to preserve them, as they will be significant to you later even if they aren’t now.
You don’t even have to be asleep for them to be significant. Also write your daydreams down and notice how they make you feel. You may discover a newly-inspired desire, or you may finally discover your soul’s mission.
2. Try a Manifesting Ritual
According to many spiritual leaders, this is the greatest use of the supermoon because of the great abundance it signifies, whether it’s love, wisdom, luck, happiness, or whatever else you’re seeking. To access the abundance, you’ll need to clear out what isn’t serving you right now, which is where this small ritual comes in handy.
Try doing this tonight: write down everything that you are ready to release. Hold the paper up in the air and say a little prayer to whomever it is that you speak to—the Divine, the Universe, a spirit guide: whatever higher powers you decide to address. Ask for assistance in releasing these things that no longer serve you. Be thankful for the lessons and gifts that these experiences brought about, then release and burn the paper.
Next, write down everything it is that you want to call info your life. Hold it close to your heart and envision this as if it has already happened. Again, say a little prayer to whichever higher power you choose, asking them to assist you. Store the paper in a safe, sacred place, and revisit it every couple of weeks to be amazed by the things that come in.
3. Charging Your Crystals
Charging crystals is easy. Simply, gather up your crystals and gemstones; the power of the supermoon light is something you don’t want them to miss! All you need to do is place your stone collection outside or in the moonlight inside overnight after telling them that they will absorb the energy of the supermoon. Bring them back inside or out of the lighted area just before dawn.
4. Moonbathing
The supermoon light is cleansing to your mind, body, and spirit so spending time under its vibrant white glow is like a soothing bath sans water.
All you need to do is take a walk under the moon (though yes, preferably with some of your skin bared to the light). It is also suggested to gaze up at the brilliance of the moon for as long as you can, basking in its energy and love. Consider what you feel in your body and in your chakras and what messages the moon might be lighting up inside of you. This moon bath, steeping your body and spirit in purifying light, should wash away the negativity and leaving you fresh and renewed.
You can also take your moon bathing to the next level by making it an all-night event. If it’s warm enough, take a sleeping bag or blanket and set it up under the canopy of sparkling stars and the glowing full moon. Take time to just bask in the light; you can meditate or pray, but just be sure to let the peace and beauty of the moon soak into your body and soul while you sleep. You’ll wake up refreshed and rejuvenated.
5. Bless Others with Healing White Light
What color is the moonlight? White, of course, and without cover it will be bathing everything tonight!
White light is spiritual energy that’s usable by anyone, not just psychics, mediums, and so on. It’s yours, just for asking, and you can use it in your loved ones’ lives in powerful ways. If you have friends or family members that are hurting, ask for them to be surrounded them in white light that brings healing energy. You can also ask for white light to surround those who we may not obviously know are struggling, carrying secret and quiet pain.
6. Connect with Your Spirit Guides
You can commune with your guides whenever you want, of course, but there’s something extra special about the supermoon that seems to open our hearts and minds up a little bit more. Maybe it’s just the general aura of awe and wonder at the beauty of the moon! It’s the spiritual process that counts, so why not use this time to ask for help and guidance along the way?
7. Heal Your Emotions
In this time of the lunar transit moving through Pisces, emotions are a big deal, as astrology tells us the sign of the fish is known for its sensitivity, compassion and fluid emotions. Just like the ebb and flow of the tides that are so closely associated with the moon (and even more strongly, the supermoon), this water sign experiences a wide range of feelings—both in depth and frequency.
Since emotions are so easily accessible during this time, it’s a perfect opportunity to acknowledge and release them. This will help clear your chakras and allow for the healing energy of the full moon to work its magic. You can do this by journaling, which is powerful in being able to express your inner truths and feelings.
This is also a good time to sweep out negative emotions. The supermoon light can be so strong, it is hard for darkness to stand up in the face of its glory. The moon illuminates any negative emotions stored in your chakras or your body and reflects that knowledge back to you, so that you can begin the process of clearing those blockages through meditation, healing courses, or other means. Write all of these things down, and hold them for future practice.

What Is Synchronicity? Signs That Guide Your Path
Synchronicity is a phenomenon where seemingly unrelated events coincide in a meaningful way, offering important clues and messages in our lives. These meaningful coincidences not only defy traditional logic, but can also guide us and give us a sense of purpose. In this article we explore what synchronicity is, its relationship to the work of Carl Jung, and how we can interpret and foster these events in our daily lives.

What Is the Principle of Synchronicity?
Synchronicity refers to the occurrence of two or more events that, although they have no obvious causal relationship, are perceived as meaningfully connected by the observer. This phenomenon defies logical explanation and suggests the existence of a deeper order in the universe. Synchronicities often occur at times of need or major change, offering guidance and confirmation on the path of life.
Many describe synchronicity as a feeling of being in tune with life, where events align in a perfect and meaningful way. These events can manifest in a variety of ways, such as finding a book that answers a crucial question or meeting a person who transforms your life. Synchronicity invites us to become more aware of our surroundings and the messages they send us.
In the series Waking Infinity, available on Gaia, Ben Stewart delves into how synchronicity can influence our daily lives, exploring case studies and interviews with experts that reveal the interconnectedness between significant events.
Jung and Synchronicity
Carl Jung, the renowned Swiss psychiatrist, introduced the concept of synchronicity as part of his work in analytical psychology. For Jung, these synchronous events were evidence of the connection between the individual and the collective unconscious, a deep level of the mind that all human beings share. He considered synchronicity as a bridge between the inner world of the psyche and the outer world of physical reality.
Jung observed that synchronicities often occur during times of intense personal or spiritual transformation. These events function as signals that help us to better understand our circumstances and find meaning in our lives. Jung also believed that synchronicity was an expression of the interconnectedness of all things, reflecting an underlying order in the universe that goes beyond linear causality.
Jung’s interest in synchronicity was reflected in his extensive research and the numerous case studies he documented. Jung argued that paying attention to these significant coincidences could facilitate a greater understanding of oneself and the world, promoting deeper psychological and spiritual development.
Examples of Synchronicities in Everyday Life
Synchronicity can manifest in our lives in many ways, from small details to significant events that change the course of our existence. Here are some examples of synchronicities that many people experience:
- Chance meeting with a key person: Meeting someone by “chance” who turns out to be crucial to an important project or aspect of your life. This encounter may open up new opportunities or provide the solution to a problem you have been trying to solve for some time.
- Book that answers questions: Finding a book that precisely answers a question you’ve been asking yourself. This can happen when you are browsing in a bookstore with no clear direction and suddenly stumble upon the perfect work.
- Premonitory dreams: Dreaming of an event or situation that later occurs in reality. These dreams often provide clarity or warning about important situations.
- Repetitive messages: Repeatedly seeing a number, word or symbol in different contexts. These messages can be seen as signals that are guiding you in a specific direction or confirming a decision.
- Unexpected opportunities: Receiving a job offer, an invitation or an opportunity that comes along just when you need it most. These opportunities often seem to come out of the blue, without warning.
- Meaningful song: Listen to a song in various places that has special meaning for you. This song may appear at critical times, providing comfort or inspiration.
- Lost objects that reappear: Finding a lost object at the exact moment you think of it or need its presence. This can be a reminder that you are on the right track.
How to Interpret Synchronicities?
Interpreting synchronicities requires a combination of open-mindedness and personal reflection. It is critical to recognize these events as they occur and to pay attention to the emotions and thoughts that accompany them. These feelings can offer clues to the underlying message of the synchronicity and its relevance to your life. It’s not just about noticing coincidences, but understanding how they make you feel and what thoughts they provoke in you.
Reflect on the context in which the synchronicity occurred and how it relates to your current circumstances. Ask yourself what was going on in your life at the time and what questions or dilemmas were present in your mind. Consider whether the synchronicity may be responding to a specific need or pointing you in a direction you should take.
Finally, it is helpful to keep a synchronicity journal where you can write down these events and your reflections on them. Over time, you may begin to see patterns or recurring themes that help you better understand the message the universe is trying to send you. This process of ongoing documentation and reflection not only allows you to better interpret synchronicities, but also strengthens your connection with your intuition and helps you make decisions that are more aligned with your personal purpose.
Who Sends Us the Signals?
Signs that we interpret as synchronicities can be seen as messages from our Spirit Guides. These guides may include angels, ancestors or spiritual entities that seek to help us achieve our purpose and well-being. Through various forms of communication, these beings attempt to guide and protect us, offering us signs that guide us at key moments in our lives.
From another perspective, synchronicities can be understood as manifestations of our subconscious. Our subconscious, through dreams, intuitions and synchronistic events, sends us signals to pay attention to certain aspects of our life. These manifestations can arise to give us answers to deep questions and to guide us towards decisions that align us with our true self.
Whether the signals come from spirit guides or from our own subconscious, the objective is the same: to help us move through life with greater clarity and purpose. Recognizing and accepting these synchronicities allows us to open ourselves to a deeper dimension of our existence, where each significant event has the potential to guide us toward personal growth and fulfillment.
Can the Occurrence of Synchronicities Be Encouraged?
An effective way to encourage the appearance of synchronicities in our lives is to ask for them directly. By clearly expressing our desires and needs, we are inviting our spirit guides to send us signals and responses. In doing so, we open a channel of communication with the universe that allows us to be more receptive to synchronicities that manifest as responses to our requests.
Maintaining an attitude of openness and curiosity is also important. Avoiding skepticism and the need to rationalize everything allows us to accept synchronicities as a natural part of life. Trusting that the universe has mysterious ways of communicating with us helps us to be more receptive to these experiences and to allow ourselves to be guided by them. In addition, keeping a journal of synchronicities and reflecting on them can help us identify patterns and better understand their meaning, strengthening our connection to the flow of life and increasing our ability to notice and interpret these significant events.
