If you feel like your love-life has gone a little stagnant, it's time to harness the emotional power of the full moon! It can be hard to communicate our feelings to the person we love, it can leave us tongue-tied and sweaty... try taking the time to write them down on paper instead.

Joint Affirmations - Make Sure You Have The Same Ambitions For The Relationship

In a similar theme to the fire ritual, this is all about letting go of the things that don't serve your relationship. We all carry negativity around with us, often as a result of failed relationships. Stand beneath the moon and offer this past sadness upwards with arms extended.

Moon Dancing! Sounds Fun, Right?

This is a firm favorite of mine - any excuse for a good boogie! A full moon helps us to release and make room for positive energy; and what better way to open ourselves up to this than by dancing? Put on your favorite love songs and dance the night away!

Sharing Dreams... Even If It's A Little Awkward

Raise A Glass

When we raise a glass to a person or event, we are putting our love and support out into the universe. I suggest circling the next full moon in your calendar and saving up for a lovely bottle of champagne - pour yourselves two glasses and toast to your relationship.

Partner Yoga

If you aren't yogis already, attempting to learn partner yoga poses will, if nothing else, be a good laugh! Get a YouTube tutorial up and work together to learn a simple routine of poses; you will quite literally be holding each other up below the full moon!

Love Jar Crafting

Making moon water is a convenient way to harness the energy of the full moon and it can be used to bathe in, to clean your home with or even to drink! Fill a jar with water, set an intention with a prayer or affirmation and leave it open overnight in direct moonlight.

We all know of the moon's power when it comes to nature; it controls the incoming and outgoing of waves and is even thought to influence our menstrual cycles. This full moon, get out in nature with your partner and appreciate the beauty of your surroundings in the moonlight.

Vision Boards

We might have a million plans in our head but until we get them out in the physical world, it can be hard to work towards them productively. Sit with your partner, a pile of magazines, scissors and glue and get vision boarding! You will be amazed by how empowering it can be.

Read Love Poetry

Some of the oldest texts we know of are declarations of love through poetry- even the Christian Bible has a whole book of it! Reading and writing love poetry helps us to access our emotions on a deeper level and might just help you realise how in love you are!

Stargazing

Since human life began, we have laid beneath the sky and observed the stars and their formations. Re-connect with your true self and your partner this full moon by laying on a blanket and gazing skywards. Take a book of constellations with you, so you know what you are looking for.

Sleep Outdoors

This one is only advisable if you are somewhere you feel safe and with a loved one you feel secure with; but if both those things are true, sleeping beneath the moon is said to re-energize you like nothing else! Take a camping mattress and stove and reconnect with nature.

Break Bread

Sharing food with our loved one is a tradition as old as time. Set aside a couple of hours to slowly and thoughtfully cook your favourite meal and eat it together. I recommend lighting a few candles and putting your favourite music on to make it extra romantic!

Breathe Together

Breathwork practice has been found to reduce anxiety, lower your blood pressure AND boost your immune system. Sit outside or by an open window with your lover and follow a breathwork tutorial. It will help you to re-align and reconnect with yourself and each other.

Try Self-Love

We all know that learning to love ourselves will help us feel more secure in our romantic relationships; but that is easier said than done. Take the time this full moon to sit alone and journal or enjoy your favorite foods and music. You deserve love too!

Invent Your Own!

The full moon is what you make of it and it's cleansing and empowering qualities can be harnessed in a million different ways. Similarly, every love story is individual to both of you; so why not create your own moon traditions and rituals that are entirely your own?
