Which Crystals to Use During a Full Moon

The full moon is the perfect time to pick up some crystals, set some intentions, and connect with the energy of the moon.  Specifically, a full moon is the time to release things that no longer suit you.  Just as the moon has built up to this moment, it will start to slowly decrease in size, and your intentions can also reflect this change.  A full Moon happens roughly every 29.5 days and this article will give you an idea of what crystals can support you, no matter your determination. 

Some suggestions for intentions:

• Release bad habits
• Release old patterns of thought
• Release defeatist emotions and feelings
• Release obstructive thoughts about yourself or others

So what crystals can support any of the above objectives?  First, let's look at rose quartz.  Rose quartz is the stone of unconditional love. This crystal encourages self-love and forgiveness.  It also helps to open up the heart chakra and connect you with your loved ones, which can be essential for a successful full moon ritual.

Another great option for a full moon ritual is clear quartz. Clear quartz is known as the stone of power and energy. It amplifies your intentions and helps to focus your energy. This crystal is perfect for boosting your full moon ritual.

Finally, we'll talk about amethyst. Amethyst is a powerful stone that can help you connect with your intuition and higher self. It's also known for its calming and detoxifying properties. Amethyst is perfect for those who want to go deep during their full moon ritual.

There are many other crystals that can also help you depending on your specific intent.  Be sure to choose what feels right for you.  And whichever crystal you choose, may your ritual be powerful and transformative!
