Embracing the Power of Supermoons: How They Can Illuminate Your Life
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and been captivated by the glowing beauty of the moon, only to find out it was a supermoon? If so, you’re not alone! Supermoons have a magical way of drawing our attention, not just because they appear larger and brighter, but because they carry a sense of mystery and wonder. Beyond their stunning appearance, supermoons can have a powerful impact on our energy—especially when it comes to our emotional, spiritual, and energetic centers, like the chakras.
In this post, we’ll explore what supermoons are, how they affect you, and how you can harness their energy not only to realign your intentions but also to balance your chakras. I’ll also introduce you to a special way to enhance your supermoon rituals with reiki charged chakra wax melts, each designed to support specific energy centers in your body.
Let’s dive in and discover how supermoons can illuminate your path to balance and well-being.
What Is a Supermoon?
Simply put, a supermoon happens when a full moon coincides with the point in its orbit where it’s closest to Earth, known as perigee. This makes the moon appear up to 14% larger and 30% brighter than a typical full moon. While it’s a visual treat, supermoons also have an energetic impact. Many believe that because the moon is closer to us, its gravitational pull and energy are intensified.
But beyond the science, supermoons are a reminder of the natural cycles that influence our planet—and our lives. Think of them as cosmic opportunities to check in with yourself, reflect on where you are, and align your intentions with the universe.
FUN FACT: It takes 27.3 days for the Moon to orbit Earth: This is why we see different phases of the Moon throughout the month.
How Supermoons Affect You
You’ve probably heard that the moon influences the tides, but did you know it can also influence your emotions and energy? Since the moon is connected with water, and our bodies are made up of 60% water, it’s no surprise that many people feel more sensitive or emotional during a full moon, especially a supermoon.
FUN FACT: The Moon causes tides on Earth: Its gravitational pull affects the Earth’s oceans, causing high and low tides.
This heightened energy can be overwhelming, but it’s also a time to lean in and use that energy for your benefit. Supermoons are known for amplifying what’s already happening in your life—whether that’s personal growth, healing, or challenges. So, if you’re feeling stressed or anxious, it’s a great time to pause, reflect, and release what no longer serves you. On the flip side, if you’re on a positive path, a supermoon can help you amplify your intentions and bring your goals into sharper focus.
How to Harness Supermoon Energy
The next time a supermoon graces the night sky, consider it an invitation to realign with your purpose and set fresh intentions. Here’s how you can make the most of this powerful lunar event:
1. Release and Let Go
Supermoons are often associated with culmination and closure, making it the perfect time to release anything that’s been weighing you down—be it old habits, toxic relationships, or negative thoughts. Write down what you want to let go of, then burn or bury the paper as a symbolic gesture of release.
2. Practice Gratitude
Take some time to reflect on what you’re grateful for. Gratitude is a powerful way to shift your energy and mindset. Whether you write it in a journal or simply think about it under the moonlight, expressing gratitude can help you feel more aligned with the positive energy of the supermoon.
3. Set New Intentions
Supermoons are also a great time for fresh starts. If you’ve been wanting to make changes in your life—whether it’s starting a new habit, working on a creative project, or deepening your self-care practice—this is the time to plant those seeds. Meditate or journal about your intentions and visualize yourself achieving your goals.
Example: "I intend to cultivate more self-love and confidence in my daily life. I will prioritize my wellbeing by setting boundaries, practicing positive self-talk, and engaging in activities that nurture my body, mind, and spirit."
The key is to be specific about what you want to create or shift, and to phrase your intention in a way that feels achievable and positive.
4. Engage in Moon Bathing
Spending time under the moonlight during a supermoon is a simple yet powerful way to absorb its energy. Moon bathing, like sunbathing, is a practice of just being present with the moon’s light. It’s incredibly calming and can help you feel more connected to the rhythms of nature.
Supermoon and the Chakras: Aligning Your Energy Centers
Supermoons can have a profound connection to the chakras, as they are times of heightened energy and introspection, which can deeply impact your energy centers. Here’s how the supermoon relates to your chakras and how you can use this lunar event to align and balance them:
Each chakra corresponds to a different aspect of your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being, and the supermoon’s amplified energy can help you tap into these areas more deeply. The moon’s influence can bring awareness to blocked or unbalanced chakras, offering an opportunity to realign and restore harmony within your energy system.
1. Root Chakra (Muladhara)
The root chakra governs your sense of security, stability, and grounding. During a supermoon, you might feel heightened awareness of your need for safety and a solid foundation. It’s a great time to work on grounding practices, such as spending time in nature, using grounding stones like black tourmaline or hematite, or visualizing roots extending from your body into the earth.
Supermoon Tip: Set an intention to release any fears or insecurities that are holding you back from feeling grounded and secure.
2. Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
Associated with creativity, emotions, and pleasure, the sacral chakra can be particularly active during a supermoon. As emotions tend to be amplified, you may feel an urge to express yourself creatively or explore your emotions more deeply. This is a perfect time to focus on your passions and reconnect with activities that bring you joy.
Supermoon Tip: Set an intention to unlock creative potential and embrace emotional healing. Try engaging in art, dance, or any activity that allows you to express your inner self.
3. Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura)
The solar plexus chakra governs your personal power and confidence. A supermoon can help illuminate areas where you may be feeling disempowered or unsure of yourself. Use the heightened energy to step into your power and release any self-doubt.
Supermoon Tip: Set an intention to reclaim your confidence and strengthen your inner power. Practice affirmations such as "I am capable, confident, and worthy of success."
4. Heart Chakra (Anahata)
Supermoons can intensify emotions, especially those tied to love and relationships. This is a time to focus on opening your heart, forgiving yourself or others, and embracing love in all forms. If you’ve been holding onto past hurts, a supermoon can provide the energy to release them.
Supermoon Tip: Set an intention to invite more love and compassion into your life. Meditate on the heart chakra and practice acts of kindness, both towards yourself and others.
5. Throat Chakra (Vishuddha)
Communication and self-expression are key themes of the throat chakra. The supermoon’s energy can help you speak your truth with clarity and honesty. If you’ve been holding back from sharing your thoughts or feelings, this is a time to release fear and communicate openly.
Supermoon Tip: Set an intention to speak your truth and express yourself authentically. Focus on clearing any blockages by journaling or having open conversations with loved ones.
6. Third Eye Chakra (Ajna)
The third eye chakra is linked to intuition and inner wisdom. A supermoon can heighten your sense of intuition, making it a powerful time for introspection and spiritual growth. You may find that your dreams are more vivid, and your inner guidance is stronger.
Supermoon Tip: Set an intention to trust your intuition and deepen your spiritual practice. Spend time meditating, visualizing, or journaling to connect with your inner wisdom.
7. Crown Chakra (Sahasrara)
The crown chakra connects you to the universe and the divine. During a supermoon, you may feel more spiritually attuned and open to higher guidance. This is an ideal time for meditation and connecting with your higher self or the universe.
Supermoon Tip: Set an intention to strengthen your connection to the divine and open yourself to universal energy. Engage in practices like breathwork or guided meditations to align with higher consciousness.
