Editor’s note: I received this via e-mail from a group I belong to ~ The Global Sisterhood Team (here is the link fmi). It is my opinion that this can be done by anyone and at any time of the month. I say that because I believe we live in an artificial simulation, which means the moon is not a natural object plus I believe we give it far too much of our personal power. I also feel this can be done alone, in front of a mirror. Other than that, this can be quite a powerful ritual. Love to you all. ♥
RADICAL VISIBILITY NEW MOON RITUAL:
(To be done with 2 or more people)
Objective: To heal the shame around hiding parts of yourself, by sharing in a safe space, with love and acceptance. To have the opportunity to share a really awesome part of yourself that you might have been too shy to share because either you feel it’s not humble to share, or you have doubt about it.
1. Begin by setting the sacred intention to be in full acceptance and love of yourself and the other people participating, creating a judgment free space and a safe environment for sharing and healing to unfold.
2. Each person will have the opportunity to fill in the blank and share out loud so they can be witnessed. Each woman will say the statement before the group moves onto to the next statement.
3. For the first round of sharing, each woman will share something they feel some shame around.
a. I hide ___________________ (ex: “I hide that I sometimes think I am not good enough, and I get jealous of others.”)
b. The woman/women listening will respond, “Thank you, I see you, I love you, you are beautiful.”
4. For the second sharing, each woman will share something really awesome about themselves that they may have been too shy to share about before.
a. I hide ___________________ (ex: “I hide that I am really smart, and I am an amazing dancer.” )
b. The woman/women listening will respond, “Thank you, I see you, I love you, you are beautiful.”
5. You can repeat steps 3 and 4 as many times as you want either going around in a circle or going back and forth between two people until you feel healing has occurred, and there is a feeling of deep connection and peace.
6. Close the exercises with each woman looking into the eyes of another woman, acknowledging her, accepting her, and loving her.
