A full moon has long been viewed as a time of illumination, reflection, and renewal. Consider it a sort of cosmic checkpoint—a moment in the month that encourages us to pause, evaluate everything happening in our lives, and find deeper alignment between ourselves and the universe.
"By creating intentional rituals around the full moon, we tap into this energy to nourish our spirit and enhance our life,” explains Lejla Cas, celebrity esthetician, Reiki master, and founder of KNESKO. “It’s a time of heightened intuition and renewal—an opportunity to release what no longer serves us and invite in balance, beauty, and radiant self-care.”
Using KNESKO’s gemstone-infused, high-vibrational skincare and channeling a sense of mindfulness and gratitude, a monthly full moon ritual becomes a luxurious act of self-care and transformation.
What is a Full Moon Ritual?
A full moon ritual is an intentional meditative practice that helps you align with the power of the full moon to honor the abundance in your life or take stock of what is working versus what you are ready to let go of, explains Sydney Eger, lead esthetician at KNESKO Skin.
“A full moon occurs monthly, and each one is in the opposite astrological sign as the sun,” Eger explains. “Each full moon in each sign allows us to reflect on what we desired six months ago and how we have manifested that energy now. Do we like what we manifested? What would we change? How should we proceed?”
These are important questions that can only be answered when we create space to pause and reflect. Our high-vibrational skincare treatments—infused with precious, Reiki-charged gemstones—enhance this ritual.
How to Do a Full Moon Ritual for Body & Spirit
Creating an intentional ritual allows us to reflect on the past and pave the way for the future, helping us reach our goals and feel more connected to nature. If you’re new to the practice or want to change up your current routine, follow our step by step guide on how to do a full moon ritual for body and spirit.
"When we take the time to honor the full moon, we are reminded of our own cycles of transformation and growth," Cas explains. "It is an opportunity to be present, grateful, and in tune with the energies that surround us."
1. Bask in the Moonlight
Practice your full moon ritual in a quiet, undisturbed space—ideally at home, where you can be fully present with yourself. “If possible, go outside or sit near a window and look at the full moon. Let your eyes soak up the light,” Eger says. Try to clear your mind and redirect thoughts back to a sense of quiet awe. Whether inside or outside, light a candle, grab a journal and pen, and find a cozy place to sit.
2. Pause and Reflect
Reflect back to about six months ago and try to remember what was on your mind at that time. What challenges did you have and what were you hoping to bring into your life? “Now reflect on how that theme has changed or remained in your life,” says Eger. “If it feels safe to do so, allow yourself to express any emotions through writing, drawing, movement, or other form of expression.”

3. Set an Intention & Meditate
Once you have embodied your emotion, take a few deep breaths and write down how you would like to make space for the new. Set an intention for acceptance and gratitude at where you are at this moment. Adding a Reiki-charged KNESKO mask to the ritual is a way to treat yourself and channel a positive intention.

4. Close with Gratitude
When you are ready to end your ritual, remove the mask, carefully sit back up, write down what you'll take away from the experience, and extinguish the candle. Your connection to the moon has deepened, along with the connection to your life's journey. By embracing this practice each month, you create a sacred space to check in with yourself, set intentions, and care for your skin and spirit. Each cycle offers a fresh opportunity to release the past and welcome new possibilities with an open heart.
