The new moon invites us into the quiet.
It’s the blank page of the lunar cycle — a space to listen, reset, and begin again on purpose.

While full moons tend to focus on releasing and letting go, new moons ask different questions:

What do I want to create space for?
What am I ready to call in?
Who am I becoming next?

Setting new moon intentions isn’t about hustling or forcing an outcome. It’s about alignment — choosing the direction the mind, body, and spirit are moving toward.

Movement practices like slow flow, yin, sound baths, and breathwork help soften the nervous system enough for clarity to surface. Once the body feels safe, intention becomes an internal whisper instead of a mental struggle.

New moon intentions work best when they are:
✔ simple
✔ felt in the body
✔ meaningful
✔ honest

Sometimes the intention is bold: “Speak my truth.”
Sometimes it’s tender: “Rest without guilt.”
Sometimes it’s practical: “Move daily.”

The magic lives in the listening.

NEW MOON RITUAL GUIDE

A gentle reset for mind, body, and spirit.

The new moon marks the beginning of a fresh lunar cycle — a blank page, a quiet turning point, a soft place to begin again. This is the moment to slow down, listen inward, and plant seeds for what you want to grow in the month ahead.

This ritual is simple, somatic, and accessible for all bodies.
Move through it at your own pace.

1. Clear Your Space

You don’t need anything fancy.

Just shift the energy:

• dim the lights

• lay out your mat

• place items that feel grounding (a stone, tea, a blanket, a journal)

Let your nervous system register: this is different. This is for me.

2. Arrive in Your Body

Sit or lie down comfortably.

Place one hand on your heart, one on your low belly.

Take 8–10 slow breaths, letting your exhales grow longer than your inhales.

Nothing needs to change.

3. Gentle Movement (5–10 minutes)

Move slowly. Move honestly. Move without performing.

Suggested shapes:

• Cat/Cow

• Hip circles

• Child’s pose

• Seated side bends

• Supine twists

• Slow neck rolls

Let your body speak first.
Let your mind follow.

4. Reflect + Release

Before inviting new intentions in, make space by releasing what’s heavy.

In a journal, finish any of these prompts:

• “I’m ready to stop carrying…”

• “This cycle taught me…”

• “It’s time to let go of…”

Tears, sighs, yawns, warmth, or nothing at all — all are valid forms of release.

5. Set Your Intention (1–3 total)

Keep them:

• simple

• embodied

• honest

Examples:

• “Move from softness.”

• “Speak my truth.”

• “Rest without guilt.”

• “Return to my body.”

Ask yourself: Where do I feel this intention in my body?
Let the sensation anchor it.

6. Seal with Stillness

Lie down in a comfortable savasana.

Imagine your intention settling into:

• your breath

• your belly

• the space behind your heart

Stay for 2–5 minutes.
Let the new moon hold you.

7. Integrate

Keep your intention alive through small rituals:

• write it on a sticky note by your bed

• breathe into it once a day

• let it guide your choices gently

Intentions don’t need force.
They need attention.

Final Words

The new moon arrives quietly — a reminder that beginnings don’t always look loud or dramatic. Sometimes they’re a single breath, a single choice, a single intention that changes everything.

Begin again, gently.
You’re allowed to.
