Full Moon Flow

For the full moon this last week I decided to participate in a full moon flow and I had never done one previously.  Most of us have heard of and have done many sun salutations but I have never done the moon salutations before.  Let me tell you they are exactly as they say, complete opposites.  The sun salutations are forward facing and pretty much stay in that plane, the moon flow is full of twists and works the body in a different way.

Before you begin the flow Allie reads an excerpt from the book Moonology about forgiveness.  I am sure that we can all show some forgiveness, especially with yourself.  To let go of anything not serving you, so you can start the next 30 days with a clear mind and heart able to open yourself to new experiences.

Here are a few ideas of other things you can do during the full moon.

• Meditation to quiet the body and mind.
• Write down all the things you want to let go. What is currently not serving you? Feel free to burn the page if that helps you with releasing these things.
• Set your intentions for the next month.
• Get outside, breathe in the fresh air and enjoy time under the moon.
• Burn some incense, sage is best, to help clear out any negative energy.

Really the best thing to do is to get out there and find what resonates with you!!  Comment below your rituals on the full moon, I would love to hear from others about what they do!!

I do say I need to do them more often and are going to make this a monthly thing on the night of the full moon.  It was amazing the energy that was around me and created through the flow  I loved how the movements were completely different and helped to open my side body, as this is something that I do struggle with during my normal practice.


Here is the link for Allie's video below, give it a shot during the next full moon!
