Below, five more practices to integrate during the full moon and on the days surrounding it.

1. Assess your energy

It’s all about getting centered. So, “take a quiet moment to assess whether you’re feeling tired or energetic, and listen to the thoughts running through your head,” Copperman says. “You can practice meditation for a few minutes, or simply sit in silence with your eyes closed, concentrating on your breathing. This will calm the mind and enable you to be clear about what you’re feeling. It will also help you uncover your subconscious point of view, understand what you desire deep down, and what may be holding you back.”

2. Write your thoughts

To translate your feelings into concrete thoughts, take pen to paper. “I like to brainstorm or make a mind map, but you can simply write down anything that pops into your head,” Copperman says. “It could be something you’re working on or something you’re struggling with.”

Now, you can organize your thoughts. For each aspect of your life that you’re working on, consider ways of getting there. Don’t be too logical or fret about the process; the point is just to put things in order so that you can let go of whatever is in the way of helping you achieve your desires. “This helps to make your vision more real on a subconscious level and allows you to focus on what’s most important to you,” says Copperman.

If you find yourself stressing about a certain goal or issue, note the negative aspects and think about how to alleviate or release them. “In your mind, consciously, allow yourself to let things go,” Copperman says. “Some people like to burn photos or objects during a full moon, but simply writing things down and clearing them from your thoughts works too. Do what works for you.”

3. Tidy up

Your external environment can be a reflection of your internal environment, so in the spirit of letting go, may feel the need to clean up your physical space, too. “Get rid of what you no longer use or need, donate or sell old clothes, or reorganize your drawers,” advises Copperman. “Clear the decks to welcome new things into your life. Physically tidying up will have a positive impact on your subconscious mind and, without realizing it, you’ll attract new things.”

4. Listen to your body

Feelings can be extreme, contrary, and muddled during the full moon. “If you’re feeling energetic, highly inspired, and motivated, but also having problems concentrating, physical activity can release the overflow of energy and clear your mind from the spiral of thoughts,” Copperman says. “Dance, swim, walk… even five minutes can help channel energy.” However, if you feel tired or unmotivated, don’t force it. “Your body needs to slow down and rest,” Copperman says.

5. Don’t make important decisions

This advice applies no matter how energetic, motivated, and inspired you are. “Don’t make major decisions or changes during the full moon. The ambient energy is so strong that it could highlight certain bad aspects or obscure the risks involved,” says Copperman.
