Full Moon Abundance Release and Manifest Ritual

The full moon illuminates what is already present, and what needs to be released. If you’re feeling stuck in cycles of scarcity, this ritual will help you release those patterns and open yourself up to the flow of abundance that’s already available to you.

What You’ll Need

• Bay leaf — For manifestation and wish-fulfillment. (zero-cost: A slip of paper to write your intention on.)
• Fire-safe bowl or dish — To safely burn the bay leaf or intention paper. (zero-cost: Sink with water running.)
• Pen or marker — To write your intention. (zero-cost: Any writing utensil you have on hand.)
• Citrine crystal (optional) — Citrine is known for attracting abundance and prosperity. (zero-cost: Any stone or object that represents abundance to you.)
• Candle (optional) — To represent the light of the full moon and your intention. (zero-cost: Phone flashlight or lamp.)

The Ritual — 30-Minute Version

1. Set Your Space (5 minutes)

Even in a small space or from bed, you can create a sacred atmosphere. Dim the lights and light your candle (or turn on your lamp/flashlight). If you have a citrine crystal (or your chosen object), hold it in your hands for a moment, visualizing it radiating golden light. Take three deep breaths, feeling yourself relax.

2. Reflect on Scarcity (10 minutes)

Close your eyes and bring to mind the areas in your life where you feel a lack of abundance. This could be financial, but also emotional, creative, or relational. What are the specific thoughts and feelings that come up? Where do you feel them in your body? Acknowledge these feelings without judgment.

3. Write Your Release Statement (5 minutes)

On your bay leaf (or slip of paper), write a statement of release. This could be something like: “I release the belief that I am not worthy of abundance,” or “I release the fear of financial insecurity.” Be specific and honest.

4. Burn and Release (5 minutes)

Carefully light the bay leaf or paper on fire, using your fire-safe bowl. As it burns, visualize the scarcity patterns being released from your energy field. If you are unable to burn, tear the paper into small pieces and flush them down the toilet or throw them away in the trash.

5. Affirm Abundance (5 minutes)

Close your eyes again and repeat the following affirmations (or create your own):

• “I am open to receiving abundance in all areas of my life.”
• “I am worthy of prosperity and success.”
• “I am grateful for the abundance that already exists in my life.”

Visualize yourself living in abundance, feeling joyful and secure.

Short on Time? The 2-Minute Version

Hold a crystal or object that represents abundance. Close your eyes, and name one feeling of scarcity you want to release. Say aloud: “I release [scarcity feeling] and open myself up to abundance.” Take three deep breaths, feeling the shift.
