Full Moon Ritual
Submitted By: Between Names 
I am not sure how many parents there are out there but I'd thought I'd share a little ritual/exercise that I do with my 3 1/2 yo daughter on the full moon.

We have a little outdoor evening "picnic" with candles and flowers that she picks (the floweres not the candles) and puts on the altar. Okay, it's a cardboard box w/ a cloth on it but it's outdoors! <|:) We do some simple meditation (she
learned meditation from karate so it's easy for us) together. After this, we often take a little "walk with the moon." Then comes the part where I guide my daughter through a little moon exercise that she loves. We do it together.
First, I tell her to breath deeply and exhale...

Imagine you are a tree
Feel the roots coming from your feet
Pull up your energy from the earth
Now, you are growing
Your arms are branches
Feel them growing and reaching higher
Higher
Higher
Wider
Until you can hug the Moon
Now tickle the Moon.
