New Moon Crystal Ritual for Beginners + Healers

If you’re looking to find meaning, growth, and healing in your life, establishing rituals is a great way to do it. Our native ancestors rooted ceremony into their culture, and we must look to their practices to inspire rituals that will connect us to Mother Earth, Spirit, and each other. A ritual, much like meditation, creates space for your heart and mind to access your soul and connect with the collective consciousness. There are many creative activities you can incorporate into your ritual, such as drumming, dancing, chanting, writing, art, and working with healing crystals.
If you feel a calling to connect more deeply with the divine feminine, Spirit, Source, or nature, you can observe the lunar calendar and perform rituals during specific moon phases, like the New Moon.

You can identify a spot in your home where you can observe the moon, such as a chair from where you can see the moonbeams glowing on a full moon. The same space can be used to lay out your crystals and moon water for cleansing and recharging during New Moon rituals.
New Moon rituals are all about resting, restoring, and planting new intentions. During the New Moon, you can visualize a new seed deep within the soil that needs time to sprout, bloom, and grow. A nourishing New Moon ritual is to create a mandala using different art mediums, which will encourage your consciousness to flow. This can jumpstart your inner knowing and artistic spirit to create a second New Moon ritual.

Another New Moon ritual is to write down four or five new intentions for the lunar cycle. Some intentions may manifest within a couple of weeks, while others may take 10 cycles or even ten years. One way to infuse your intentions with your personal energy is to hold one of your crystals in your palm and speak your intention aloud.
Other New Moon rituals to try include making moon water, smudging, tarot card pulls, journaling, and meditation. These rituals can be performed on a cyclical basis and can significantly improve your life. Observing the moon and practicing New Moon rituals can prevent burnout and help you balance your life.
Incorporating rituals into your life can bring growth and healing and connect you to the universe. As with anything, remember to handle your healing crystals with care and kindness.
