Preventing Menopause Symptoms with an Energetic and Natural Approach
The full moon has always held a special fascination. A symbol of light and fulfillment, it illuminates what needs to be seen, released, or transformed. Amidst the hustle of daily life, it offers a precious pause—a moment to slow down, let go of what weighs you down, and welcome new energy.
When practiced mindfully, the full moon ritual becomes a sacred space for inner connection. A time to listen to your body, soothe your mind, and let your soul breathe.
Understanding why the full moon invites letting go
The full moon marks the peak of the lunar cycle: the moment when light reaches its zenith before waning. It’s a time of clarity, revelation, and transformation. Its energy amplifies everything—emotions, feelings, intuitions. It shines a light on what we don’t always see in the daylight—our deepest needs, tensions, and inner truths.
The energy of the full moon in the lunar cycle
The lunar cycle spans about twenty-eight days: a constant dance between expansion and retreat, light and darkness. The new moon invites us to plant intentions; the full moon, however, invites us to harvest and release.
During this phase, the energy is intense, almost vibrant. It acts like a mirror, reflecting what we have created, accepted, or held onto. It’s the perfect time to let go of the unnecessary, clear stagnant energies, and restore balance.
What "letting go" means from an energetic perspective
Letting go doesn’t mean giving up; it means trusting. It’s about releasing mental control to allow life’s natural flow to circulate freely. Energetically, it’s like untangling inner knots and unblocking the flow of vital energy.
A practice like Reiki can support this process by harmonizing your energy centers and helping you reconnect your body, mind, and soul.
Regeneration: embracing the energy of lunar light
When you let go, you create space. This space becomes the cradle of new vitality. The full moon carries a subtle healing energy: it recharges, purifies, and illuminates.
Sitting under the moonlight, breathing deeply, and allowing this light to flow through you—this is a form of regeneration. A reconnection with yourself, the Earth, and the cycle of nature.
Preparing for the ritual: creating a sacred space and refining your intention
The full moon ritual is not a rigid practice. It adapts to each individual. But one thing remains constant: preparation. Creating the right space and setting a clear intention is already entering the ritual.
Choosing the right time and place – in Olhão, Algarve
The energy of the full moon is active for three days: the day before, the day of, and the day after. Choose the moment when you feel most available, ideally in a calm setting, bathed in the soft glow of the moon.
In Olhão, the Ria Formosa offers a perfect backdrop: the sea reflecting the silvery light, the salty breeze, and the pure vibration of the elements. If you’re elsewhere, simply open your window, light a candle, and connect with the sky: the moon will always find you.
Cleansing, purification, and crystals – lithotherapy in the light
Before the ritual, purify your space. Open the windows, burn some white sage or Palo Santo, and let the smoke circulate. This physical purification supports energetic cleansing.
Place a few stones around you: amethyst for mental clarity, rose quartz for love, selenite for connection to the moon. These crystals amplify vibrations and support your intention.

Formulating your intention and connecting with your breath
Close your eyes. Breathe deeply, exhale slowly. Let your intention come to you. Perhaps you want to release a fear, heal an emotion, or simply find inner peace.
Write it down on a piece of paper with kindness. Words anchor the energy. Your breath makes it flow.
Step-by-step ritual for letting go and regenerating
Here’s a possible sequence. Adapt it to your own rhythm: the most important thing isn’t the form, but your presence.
Release: write, visualize, eliminate
Sit comfortably and hold the paper where you’ve written what you wish to release. Reread your words, feel them, then visualize them dissolving under the moonlight.
You can then safely burn the paper, bury it in the earth, or cast it into the sea. This symbolic gesture physically releases what you no longer wish to carry.
Regeneration: meditation, breathing, moon bath
After release comes regeneration. Sit in silence or lie down. Close your eyes. Imagine a white light descending from the moon and settling over you.
Breathe deeply and let this light nourish every cell. This is a moon bath: an infusion of pure energy.
A shamanic meditation can deepen this experience: the sound of drums or Tibetan bowls awakens your inner connection.
Gratitude and grounding: closing with gentleness
Before ending the ritual, give thanks. To the moon, the Earth, the elements, and yourself for this moment of listening.
Feel your feet, your breath, your heart. If you wear a life path bracelet made of natural stones, take a moment to charge it in the moonlight. The stones remember your intentions and continue to vibrate after the ceremony.
Integrating the holistic vibrations of Tudo Bem Olhão
The full moon ritual can be complemented by energy treatments to extend its effects. At Tudo Bem Olhão, every practice aims to support the balance of body, mind, and soul.
Linking with Reiki or sound healing
After an emotional release, an energy treatment helps realign your frequencies. Reiki smooths the flow of vital energy, while Tibetan bowls offer soothing resonance.
The sounds envelop the body and promote deep relaxation: they naturally support the integration of the ritual.
Lithotherapy and vibrational bracelets – natural stones during the full moon
Crystals are powerful allies. They capture, purify, and diffuse lunar vibrations. Place your stones on a windowsill, in a ceramic bowl, or directly in the moonlight.
Some stones regenerate particularly well under the full moon: amethyst, labradorite, clear quartz, selenite.

Shamanic meditation and intuitive guidance as a follow-up to the ritual
Once the energy is released and recharged, you can deepen your connection to your intuition.
Intuitive guidance through oracles provides gentle insight into your emotions, choices, or life directions.
Combined with shamanic meditation, they create a bridge between consciousness and the subconscious, between Earth and Sky.
Living after the ritual: grounding, continuity, and connection to nature
The full moon ritual doesn’t end when the candle is extinguished. Its effects unfold in the following days, sometimes subtly, sometimes with surprising intensity. The moon’s energy continues to work, fostering recentering, inner clarity, and regeneration. It’s an ideal time to slow down, observe, listen, and integrate what the lunar light has revealed.
How to welcome the energy in the days that follow
In the days after the full moon, give yourself time. The energy of purification may still be circulating, and some emotions or sensations may surface. It’s essential not to judge them but to welcome them with gentleness.
Self-care comes through simple gestures: drink plenty of water, get enough sleep, eat light and fresh foods, and surround yourself with calm. You can also extend the ritual’s effect by practicing shamanic meditation—a space for inner reconnection and energetic release—offered at Tudo Bem’s healing space.
This is also a great time for a Reiki session, to harmonize your energy and balance your subtle bodies: a beautiful way to prolong the benefits of your ritual.
Connecting with the nature of the Algarve – sea, salt, stone, moon
The Algarve offers land of rare vibrational power. After a lunar ritual, reconnecting with nature is a way to ground this energy. Walk barefoot on the sand, let the wind caress your skin, and feel the sun’s warmth balance the cool lunar energy. The sea plays a special role here: it cleanses, purifies, and recharges.
Saltwater has a dissolving vibration—it helps release what’s still clinging. You can also carry some natural stones with you—like labradorite for protection or clear quartz to amplify your inner light. These stones, which you’ll find at Tudo Bem Olhão, resonate with lunar energy and support your evolution.
Making the ritual a regular companion – cycle after cycle
The full moon returns every month, like an invitation to reconnect with yourself. Practicing the ritual regularly helps you follow the rhythm of your emotions and transformations. Each cycle becomes a step on your path of awareness: one lunation to release, another to plant, another to heal.
You can enrich your rituals with a personalized life path bracelet—a vibrational creation made of natural stones aligned with your energy.
It acts as a discreet yet powerful energetic support, connecting you to your deepest intentions.
To accompany your cycles, you can also receive intuitive guidance through oracles: these readings help you better understand the messages the moon and your intuition whisper to you.
Finally, to revitalize your overall vibration, try a session of LineQuartz, a unique energy therapy combining light, color, music, and crystals.

Under the light of the moon
In the silver silence of the full moon, every breath becomes a prayer, every intention a vibration. The ritual is not a fixed act: it’s a dance between you and the universe, a shared breath with life.
When the moon illuminates the Ria Formosa, it reminds you that everything is in motion, everything changes, everything renews. Letting go is simply accepting this fluidity—like the waves that come and go, like the light that is reborn with each cycle.
Give yourself this moment of connection. Let the moon caress your thoughts, purify your emotions, and awaken the peace within you. The light you seek already shines in your heart: the moon only reveals it.
