The Flower Moon
The term "Flower Moon" is one of the many names given to the full moon that occurs in the month of May, which is the time when flowers start to bloom in many parts of the world. This name has its roots in the traditions of various indigenous peoples in North America who named each full moon based on the natural phenomena that occurred during that month.
In 2023, the Flower Moon will also coincide with a lunar eclipse, which happens when the Earth passes between the Sun and the Moon, causing the Moon to move into the Earth's shadow. Keep in mind that you'll only be able to see this lunar eclipse in Africa, Asia, Australia, Central and Eastern Europe, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands.
Here are 11 ways to connect with the Flower Moon and lunar eclipse energy:
- Meditate during the eclipse to connect with the energies of the Moon and the Earth.
- Perform a ritual to release any negative emotions or habits that no longer serve you.
- Set intentions for new beginnings, growth, and abundance in your life.
- Create a vision board or a manifestation list of your goals and desires.
- Charge your crystals and other sacred objects under the Full Moon.
- Take a ritual bath with flowers or essential oils to cleanse and purify your energy.
- Spend time in nature, such as hiking or gardening, to connect with the Earth's energy.
- Sing, dance, or play music under the full moon.
- Perform a forgiveness ritual to let go of any grudges or resentments.
- Journal your thoughts and feelings to gain clarity and insight into your life's path.

Remember, the most important thing is to connect with the energy of the full moon in a way that resonates with you personally. It's essential to trust your intuition and do what feels right for you.
