Moon and solar infusions are spiritual or energetic practices where water, crystals, or other objects are exposed to the light of the moon or the sun to “infuse” them with celestial energy.
Moon infusions are a way to connect with the heavens and the Earth. They use water and flowers to hold the moon’s energy. This can help bring balance to your body and your life.
Why Make Moon Infusions?
Moon infusions are based on the idea that the moon’s energy affects water and living things.
Water is a memory-retention element, and the moon is the teacher of the cycles, and the collective consciousness. Just as the moon pulls the tides, it can also influence the water inside you. When you infuse water with moonlight, you’re trying to capture that energy. This can help you feel more connected to the teachings of the moon and your own emotions.
By adding the fresh flower from a nearby tree or bush to the water, you are creating a vibrational medicine that unites the heavens with the season of the earth. This is a powerful ritual and a powerful water. You can drink it. Bath or follow further rituals to potentize it.
How to Make Moon Infusions
- Choose Your Water: Use clean, natural water when you can, such as spring or filtered water. Avoid chlorine or processed water.
- Pick Your Flowers: Select flowers that feel special to you and that are in full bloom the day of the full moon. Different flowers have different meanings. For example, roses are for love, and lavender is for calm.
- Prepare Your Container: Use a clear glass jar or bottle. Make sure it’s clean.
- Combine: Put the water and flowers in the jar.
- Place Under the Moon: Put the jar outside where the moonlight can reach it. The best time is during a full moon, but any moon phase can work. It will have the same effect if it is cloudy; remember, this is resonance medicine.
- Leave Overnight: Let the jar sit under the moon overnight.
- Strain and Use: In the morning, strain out the flowers. Your moon infusion is ready.
