Spring is well underway, and the first full moon of the season (and the astrological new year) arrives this Saturday. Here's what to know about this full supermoon, plus how to maximize its energy, this moon is also a supermoon, meaning it's a bit closer to Earth than usual, making it appear bigger and brighter. Supermoons are known to be more energetically potent, and this moon happens to fall in the sign of Libra. The moon will also be squared with Pluto. Pluto is looking at rebirth, and Libra is all about truth and balance, so what is trying to be transformed within your life? This moon asks us to reveal truth, getting clear on any illusions you may be buying into that need to be brought to light so you can clear them out.

This is happening along with a historic Jupiter-Neptune conjunction in the dreamy waters of Pisces. With this Full Moon, we enter the 2022 Eclipse Cycle, with a 2-week period of energetic preparation before the April 30th New Moon and Solar Eclipse. If that sounds like a lot, that’s because it is — but fear not! The Universe is doling out some much needed balance in the form of a full moon in Libra. This lunation, also known as the Pink Moon, operates on harmony, and who among us can’t use an extra boost of stability and balance?

It's hard to clear out belief systems or things we've been telling ourselves that are possibly no longer true to us or in alignment anymore, if we're unaware, so this light of full moon and with Reiki energy, can support releasing and allowing them come to light so we can transform through them and become more aligned with our path and where we're going. And since this is the first full moon of spring, and the moon is squared with Pluto, it's the perfect time to let go of any lingering winter energy you're still feeling and make room for rebirth.

If you've ever felt like full moons disrupt your sleep or cause you to feel a bit frantic, you wouldn't be alone. In fact, one study published in the journal Current Biology discovered it took people longer to fall asleep as the full moon approached. And on the night of the full moon, they spent 30% less time in deep sleep, had lower melatonin levels, and slept for 20 fewer minutes, on average.

After the Full Moon Reiki Energy Healing Meditation, take some time to journal.

Grab a pen and paper and get clear on what you want to release under this full moon.

·  What is being revealed to you about where you need to welcome transformation in your life?

·  What areas of your life are you living out of balance, integrity, and harmony?

·  Where are you holding on to old mental and emotional patterns or habits that do not serve who you are becoming?

·  Once you're clear on what you want to let go of, write it down using affirmation statements such as "I release self-doubt," or "I release destructive habits."

·  When you've written everything down, take a moment to visualize what it will be like once you release these things.

·  Fill in the blank: “My Higher Self/Spirit Guides want me to know…”

·  Fill in the blank: “I can bring more balance into my life by…”

·  Fill in the blank: “Now that I have released, I call in….”

·  Fill in the blank: “I am grateful for…”

·  Whenever you feel ready, burn the piece of paper outside under the full moon. (This goes without saying, but be careful to either burn it in a safe container or somewhere it won't touch vegetation—and make sure the fire is completely out before walking away!)

·  Close out the ritual by thanking the moon for aiding in your release and ask Reiki to Reiki it all for highest good.

Sending Reiki blessings for this Full Moon!
