I arrived in Austin ready to elevate myfull moon ritualsduring this intense lunation.

Among the jumbled mess were: being present, living to appease my desires, and being unapologeticallyme.

Attached, there was a mantra that read: I am connected to the light.

A night swim was one of my full moon rituals.

The day of the full moon, I chatted withLynn Caroll-Rivera, Miraval Austins resident astrologer.

She explained that the Aquarius full moon was about leaning on friendships and connecting with the community.

Full moons are always a good time to release something, she explained.

This [one] is a particular focus on things that we can share with others.

I always want to spend a bit of time sitting and looking at the moon, she says.

Inspired by our conversation, I began my ritual by sitting outside underneath the moon.

I expressed my gratitude and hopes for the future.

Although the results have been subtle, I can fully attest to the power of lunar energy.

Since then, Ive felt less self-conscious in social parameters and have been rewriting my inner monologue.

After all, We are made up of the same stuff as the planets, says Caroll-Rivera.

We’re part of that consciousness.
