Are you aware of the transformational power that happens at the time of a Full Moon?
This is a true spiritual event to tap into for those who desire the assistance of Spirit to make improvements in your life!
The full moon is spiritually significant as a time of culmination, release, and heightened emotional and intuitive energy. Cultures globally have historically celebrated it with rituals focused on gratitude, purification, and aligning personal energy with nature’s rhythms.
The Spiritual Significance of the Full Moon
In Ascension Mastery understandings via the Ascended Master Djwhal Khul, who is the Ray Chohan of Love and Wisdom through the Golden-Yellow Ray/Flame, there exists a window of opportunity that last an entire week to use these heightened celestial cosmic energies to your personal soul’s advantage. This is because the force of cosmic source energy is reflected to earth through the mirror of the light of the moon starting three days prior, and lasting three days after, the date of the full moon each lunar cycle. Since the Sun is already shining it’s light forth, this means there is an increase in Light for Earth.
The full moon is considered the peak of the lunar cycle, a powerful time where energy is at its maximum and intentions set during the new moon come to fruition. Its symbolic meanings across various belief systems include:
- Completion and Abundance: A time to acknowledge and express gratitude for personal growth, accomplishments, and manifestations that have occurred since the last new moon.
- Emotional & Psychic Peak: Many believe the full moon amplifies emotions and enhances intuition and psychic abilities, making it an ideal time for introspection and seeking clarity.
- Release and Renewal: The heightened energy provides an opportunity to identify and let go of negative thoughts, old habits, or burdens that no longer serve you, thus making space for new growth and positive change in the next cycle.
- Feminine Divinity and Fertility: Across many cultures, the moon is seen as a symbol of the divine feminine, associated with fertility, water, and the cycles of life. This has ancient wisdom implications that go beyond the literal concept of birth such that spiritually speaking, it is a unique time to empower the birth of your creations for what you desire to create within your life.
Making it a Personal Spiritual Moment
The modern western (global?) lifestyle is now often one of extreme distance from many of the principles and ways of life that were considered normal parts of life to previous generations. Being “connected” to a digital world has the potential to actually make us more disconnected to our own soul’s guidance. A great way to recapture your spiritual identity is to acknowledge that the cycles of the moon are important to you and your own spiritual growth.
What this means for you personally can vary, but the importance of performing a ceremony is to bring these higher consciousness ideals into the phycial realm, not just as a fleeting observation of the brightness of the full moon, but to make it a personal experience in your own life reality. And like many things that we do which require real world “walking our talk”, doing a real ceremony is what seals the deal so to speak.
Historical and Cultural Practices
Across continents, various cultures have incorporated the full moon into their calendars and spiritual practices:
- Hindu Traditions (Purnima): The full moon day is considered auspicious (Purnima). Celebrations involve fasting, prayers, and bathing in sacred rivers to purify the body and soul. The festival of Guru Purnima honors spiritual teachers.
- Native American Traditions: Many tribes held community gatherings for “Moon Dances” or ceremonies involving drumming, singing, and storytelling around a fire. Women often brought water to be blessed, creating “moon water” for medicine and healing.
- Ancient Egyptian Beliefs: Egyptians connected the full moon with the god Thoth (knowledge and healing) and the myth of the Eye of Horus, marking it as a time for purification, seeking spiritual understanding, and ensuring resurrection and renewal.
- Mayan Culture: The Maya highly regarded the moon goddess Ix Chel, who governed fertility, healing, and agriculture. Full moon ceremonies involved offerings and prayers for abundance.
- Asian Festivals: In China and other Asian cultures, the Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated during the full moon with families gathering to share mooncakes and give thanks for the harvest.
- Celtic Practices: Celtic people marked life’s cycles with full moon celebrations, often featuring bonfires, dance, and storytelling to align with natural rhythms.
Simple Ways on How to Do Your Own Full Moon Ceremony
Drawing inspiration from these global traditions, your personal ceremony can be a simple, intentional practice of reflection, release, and gratitude.
Prepare Your Space and Self
- Cleanse: Tidy your physical space. You can use smoke from sage or palo santo, or a blessed and charged room spray*, to clear stagnant energy.
- Set the Mood: Create a calm environment. Light a candle (white or silver are traditional moon colors), play soft music, or arrange meaningful items like crystals on an altar.
- Ground: Sit quietly, close your eyes, and take several deep breaths. Visualize roots extending from your feet into the earth, connecting you to the ground.
Reflect and Release
- Journal: Reflect on the past month. What are you grateful for? What negative thoughts, habits, or situations are holding you back? Write down everything you wish to release.
- Symbolic Release: Safely burn the paper (in a fireproof bowl) as a symbolic way of letting go, visualizing the words and their associated energy dissolving into ash and light.
Harness the Moon’s Energy
- Meditate or “Moon Bathe”: Sit or lie down under the direct light of the full moon (outdoors or by a window). Close your eyes and visualize the moonlight washing over you, purifying your body and filling you with clarity and insight.
- Charge Items: Place crystals, water (in a glass jar to make “moon water”), or personal amulets where they can soak in the moonlight overnight to cleanse and amplify their energy. (We recommend crystal cleansing using the room spray* in water and charging for a full 24 hours; or use small amounts of the same ingredients used for an Aura Cleanse).
Set Intentions and Close
- Affirmations & Gratitude: Speak positive affirmations aloud to fill the space left by your release (e.g., “I am free from fear” instead of “I want to let go of fear”). Express profound gratitude for the blessings in your life and the process of renewal.
- Close the Ceremony: Thank the moon, the universe, or any guides you invoked for their support. Take a final deep breath to ground yourself before continuing your evening.
What is the Ascension Mastery “Festival of Lights” Full Moon Ceremony?
This is the Ceremony that is specifically for the Full Moon as envisioned by Ascended Master Djwhal Khul who was known as “The Tibetan” in the esoteric materials. “Ascension” means going above and beyond traditional spiritual practices so that an individual can advance, or progress higher, in their level of soul maturity, not just in their level of earth wisdom gained through the life experience of their personality self.
The highest and best potential for soul growth has, esoterically speaking, been the only goal of the Ascended Masters for anyone seeking their distinct spiritual guidance. Spiritual Masters that have attained the status of being “Ascended” have done so by facing and overcoming every possible obstacle known within human reality in their own life. They know exactly what living on earth is like and the best way to advance as a soul upon earth (which has been called a spiritual school in many esoteric traditions.)
They have the wisdom to share. This means that if these Masters are able to speak through a pure and accurate transmitter who is able to share that Master’s true essence without interference, (which was historically done by Seers, Sages, Oracles, etc.,) they are not just offering words from centuries old manuscripts, they are sharing their own “living ascension wisdom” to the individuals hearing their words.
Master Djwhal Khul and the Guidance of Ascension Mastery Wisdom
In our view as Ascension Mastery guides and teachers, an Ascension Festival is a wonderful addition to enhance any personal Ceremony you may be doing around the time of the Full Moon! Master Djwhal Khul was the Master of Ceremonies (MC) for these events before we were even born! In the past he said the time would come when he would find the right individual to resume his personal connection with humanity. He has been in this role with us since 2011.
At Walking Terra Christa, which literally means “Walking the New Earth”, we conduct many Ascension Mastery ceremonies (check to see when the next one is happening) to assist individuals to learn what it means to bring higher consciousness transformation into their own lives.
Our events are not at all like any others that most spiritual seekers have experienced. This is not stated from a perspective of an ego based elitist attitude, but one of long term expertise, insight and sensitivity. In our Ceremonies, we share not only the spiritual wisdom of the highest caliber from the Ascended Masters and the other Spiritual Hierarchy beings (like Archangel’s Metatron and Michael in our 11:11 events), we also provide specific ascension dynamics that are very rare to experience elsewhere. Our ceremony events hold the authentic power of the Ascended Masters and God Consciousness.
What sets us apart even more is that due to the additional unique abilities of Reverence Lady Master Christine Mahlariessee, the events we do create what we call “Collective Vibratory Ascension Attunement Blessingssm“, which are actual spiritual ascension vortexes that extend into the physical locations where each attendee resides as they listen. (Our ceremonies, classes and events are online virtual audio format so that everyone can benefit). While these vortexes are more powerful whenever we do a live event, they are still created by the Spiritual Hierarchy whenever they are replayed. Our Ascend Earth events do the same. Through it we share ways to enhance your own personal space to be able to receive even more spiritual energy from our events.
*We provide a highly charged Enhanced Sacred Space Spray (for room/body) that includes high quality sage essential oil. It is available through our ETSY shop “Spectrum Light Ray Creations“.

About the authors:
Rev. Christine Mahlariessee Hayden is an ordained minister in Fully Integrated Ascension Science and Soul Psychology. She was ordained directly by Dr. Joshua David Stone through his extensive Melchizedek Synthesis Light Academy (2003) ascension studies program. In his ordination process an individual must first reach the 7th initiation of Ascension Mastery before becoming ordained. Rev. Hayden had already been working with the Ascended Masters for many years since the early 1980’s when she facilitated regular live group healing guidance sessions in her Angelic Connection Circle program. She is now one of the few original Ascension Mastery leaders that has over 4 decades of experience in guiding and teaching correct and accurate higher consciousness ascension study.
Rev. Mahlariessee does not consider herself just another “new age wanna be” transmitter of Ascension wisdom. In addition to her having the highest standards and accomplishments within Ascension study, she has over 35 years of professional business acumen. She successfully demonstrated superior skills and abilities in corporate and business document creation/management and proposal facilitation as a highly sought after top tier Administrative Specialist Coordinator for executives in various government contract roles. Some of which included the sector of Railroad Track Construction overseen by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and the sector of Utilities Privatization Program for Military Utility Service overseen by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). Because she interfaced daily with sensitive national security information which could cause “exceptionally grave damage” to the nation if improperly disclosed, she was required to hold the highest level of government security clearance for sensitive government projects, that of Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI). Her abilities and work accomplishments were cited by one such senior executive as “unmatched” in all his years of experience.
Rev. J. Michael Ara Hayden. Prior to joining with Rev. Mahlariessee in 2011 to co-found Walking Terra Christa’s Academy of New Earth Mastery, Rev. Ara also gained extensive business, corporate and private sector knowledge and expertise over a 30 year time span, as well as a fair amount of international cross-cultural travel experiences. After graduation from university he first worked as an Early Release Resident Counselor for a Philadelphia PA city contracted facility in close relationship with the Federal Bureau of Prisons residential release program for inmates being reintegrated into society. His career spans the emergence of the computer technology age as an early adapter of the Apple IIc computer in 1984, which then helped him secure work as an Assistant Manager of a famous well known consumer based retail chain providing computer software sales, technical expertise and assistance. From there he went into Information Technology sales and services for the corporate and business sector as an Executive Sales Manager attending trade shows and managing sales and marketing relationships with C suite executive clients. He also became a Technical Sales/Service Director and Level One Networking Engineer.
He was eventually asked by the CEO of one of the worlds largest testing and measurement organizations to become one of two Internal Effectiveness Consultants to implement a plan to improve embedded institutional cultural behavior to be modernized, responsive and effective. Using on the job training in emerging best practices in systems thinking, six-sigma and the “fifth discipline” of organizational dynamics, he played an integral role in streamlining and improving services. In his personal life he was a founding Board of Director for the Philadelphia based Vox Ama Deus Renaissance Musical Group and for over a decade traveled to Europe many times with the Executive Director, including not only many Western European cities but Eastern Block countries that were at that time under communist rule. He later became the organizations Director of Marketing. In 2015 he became ordained through Rev. Mahlariessee as his 3 years of study with her in Ascension Science and Soul Psychology enabled him to attain the 7th level of Initiation.
