The moon's cycle is 28 days and it has a powerful effect on our energies. A full moon completes this cycle and brings the energies of completion, ending, change, and release of those things that no longer serve us. The new moon brings the energies of creation, birth, rebirth, and manifestation. That's why I'm introducing you to a new moon manifestation ceremony.

New Moon Manifestation Ceremony

One of the best ways to honor, recognize, and use this energy for maximum benefit is to create a New Moon Ceremony. There are many ways to create a ceremony for this purpose. I share the new moon ceremony that I enjoy each month with my twin flame, Boyd Campbell.

I want you to follow your own guidance and intuition in creating a new moon ceremony that resonates with you. If this one resonates for you, perfect! However, you should make your own changes until it does, or create something completely new.

You can perform this ceremony with others or alone. It is very powerful, especially when it becomes a regular part of your monthly spiritual cycle.

Your intentions will change as you grow. Doing this each month will keep your intentions clear and focused, bringing renewed dedication. This ceremony is a natural progression following your full moon release ceremony.

The new moon is a time to reflect and become clear and focused on what it is that we are wanting to create and manifest in our lives. So let's get started!

What you will need:

- Sage or Sage Incense

- One or more of the following; Jasmine Incense, Clove Incense, Sage Incense, Patchouli Incense, Cinnamon Incense, Lavender Incense, Vanilla Incense, Musk Incense, Amber Incense, Frankincense Incense, Lilac Incense, Sandalwood Incense, Cedar Incense

- Himalayan Salt (in a dish)

- Water (in a dish)

1. Use sage to smudge

Use sage to smudge your ceremony area and yourself, including your sacred space/altar.

Either white sage or white sage incense will work. By smudging with sage you are clearing all negative energies and leaving your space and your aura cleansed – a clean slate for your manifestation ceremony.

2. Select elements

Now select whichever incense or combination of incense resonates with you for this ceremony.

Light them and leave them burning throughout the ceremony.

Financial and Material Manifestations (money matters, possessions such as a new home):

Sage, Mint, Basil, Clove, Jasmine, Patchouli, or Cinnamon

Health and Well-Being (curing physical ailments, boosting energy, promoting vitality):

Amber, Frankincense, Sage, Lavender, Lilac, or Cinnamon

Love & Relationships (healing a relationship, attracting your soul mate, making yourself more attractive):

Cinnamon, Jasmine, Musk, Lavender, Vanilla, or Patchouli

Spiritual Growth: Sandalwood, Jasmine, Musk, Cedar, Lavender, or Anis

Protection from Harm: Frankincense, or Sage

Strength and Courage: Lavender, Musk, or Cinnamon

Fertility: Patchouli or Musk

3. Set up your altar/sacred space

Now it's time to set up your altar/sacred space.

I like to incorporate the four elements; earth, water, fire, and air. I do this by setting up a cup of water (water), a cup of Himalayan salt (earth), a feather (air), and lighting my white candle (fire). The white candle symbolizes universal consciousness, purity, truth, unity, happiness, and spirituality – divine connection.

4. Citrine and Clear Quartz – great crystals for a manifestation ceremony.

Arrange your crystals on your altar/sacred space however, feels right for you. Boyd and I like to set them up in a square pattern representing the four directions.

The Citrine is a premier stone of manifestation, imagination, and personal will. Carrying the power of the sun is energizing and life-giving, clearing the mind and stirring the soul into action.

Clear Quartz is a high vibration crystal that helps with concentration, increased awareness, inspiration, and creativity. Also, it amplifies the power of your intention and the power of the Citrine crystals.

5. Quiet and Meditation

Now take a few moments to become quiet and meditate.

You can invite your guides, angels, ascended masters, or whoever else you would like to be there with you. When you are ready, write down on a piece of paper what it is that you want to manifest. Make a list of what you want to create in your life.

Think big, these are your dreams! The new moon is a perfect time to manifest what you may feel is out of reach, don't be scared to create your vision here. However, These are more than just words on a piece of paper, by writing down your intentions you are making a commitment to co-creating with the universe.

You are opening the doors and set your dreams into motion. At the top of the paper write down, “I openly accept these things into my life, or something even better than I have imagined, for the highest good of everyone involved. So be it.”

6. Awareness

A big part of being successful with your new moon manifestations is keeping them at the forefront of your awareness.

Keep them in a visible spot, or in your purse or wallet. Journal about your progress.

7. Make adjustments

Make adjustments to your list as the month goes by, it is only natural that your desires will change over time.

Check off the things that you have received. You may find it helpful to make a vision or dream collage with pictures that illustrate what you are manifesting and be sure to spend time looking at it each day, focusing on how you FEEL as you imagine already having these things.

8. Repeat New Moon Manifestation Ceremony

Each month you will renew this list at a repeated new moon manifestation ceremony, thus re-dedicating your intentions.

Important Factors to Note:

For those of you who are attuned to Reiki, use your Reiki throughout the ceremony and if you have been attuned to Reiki Symbols, draw them on your paper.
