# The Power of Forgiveness at the Full Moon (and Why It’s Crucial for Manifestation)
If you’ve ever struggled to manifest your desires, it might be time to consider the power of forgiveness. Often overlooked, forgiveness is one of the most powerful spiritual tools you can use — and the Full Moon is the perfect time to do it.
While many people associate the Full Moon with release, they don’t always realize that forgiveness is one of the most profound forms of release. When you forgive — yourself, others, and even the past — you clear emotional and energetic space for new blessings to flow in. Without this step, you may find your manifestations blocked by unresolved emotions.
In this guide, you’ll discover why forgiveness is essential for manifestation, how to create your own Full Moon forgiveness list, and powerful stories of people who have released the past and manifested something even better.
Why Forgiveness is Essential for Manifestation
Forgiveness isn’t about excusing bad behavior or forgetting the past. It’s about freeing yourself from the emotional weight of resentment, guilt, or shame.
When you hold on to unresolved emotions, you’re carrying around energetic baggage. This baggage lowers your emotional vibration — and since manifestation relies on being in a high vibrational state of joy, love, and gratitude, unresolved feelings can block your desires from coming to fruition.
Here’s why forgiveness matters for manifestation:
- It raises your vibration: When you forgive, you lighten your emotional load, which allows you to vibrate at a higher frequency.
- It creates space: Forgiveness clears out old emotional “clutter,” making space for new blessings to enter.
- It breaks negative cycles: Holding onto resentment can create repetitive patterns in your life. Forgiveness allows you to break free from these cycles.
Key Insight: Manifestation is all about alignment. Forgiveness aligns you with peace, love, and clarity — the exact energy you need to attract your desires.
How to Create Your Full Moon Forgiveness List
The Full Moon is a time of completion and release, making it the ideal moment to practice forgiveness. Creating a Full Moon forgiveness list is simple but incredibly powerful.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your list:
Step 1: Create a Sacred Space
- Find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed.
- Light a candle, burn sage, or play calming music to set the mood.
- Open your Moonology Diary and turn to the Full Moon pages, which are designed to help you track your releases and reflections.
Step 2: Reflect on What Needs Forgiving
- Close your eyes and ask yourself:
- Who do I need to forgive?
- What past experiences do I need to release?
- What parts of myself do I need to forgive?
- Take your time and allow whatever comes up to surface without judgment. Sometimes, the biggest forgiveness work we need to do is with ourselves.
Step 3: Write Your Forgiveness List
- On a piece of paper (or in your Moonology Diary), write down everything you’re ready to forgive.
- Be specific. For example:
- “I forgive my younger self for making that mistake.”
- “I forgive [Name] for hurting me.”
- “I forgive myself for not being perfect.”
Step 4: Feel the Feelings
- Sit with each line of your forgiveness list and truly feel the release. Imagine the weight of that resentment being lifted from your heart.
- This is one of the most emotional parts of the process, but it’s also where the magic happens.
Step 5: Release the List
- Safely burn the paper (in a fire-safe bowl) to symbolize the release.
- As the paper turns to ash, visualize your burdens disappearing with it.
- If you prefer not to burn the paper, you can tear it up and bury it in the earth or flush it down the toilet.
Step 6: Seal It With Gratitude
- Take a moment to express gratitude. Thank yourself, the Moon, and the Universe for this process.
- Say aloud: “I release all that no longer serves me. I forgive myself, others, and the past. I am free.”
Real Stories of Forgiveness Leading to Manifestation
Anna’s Story Anna had been holding onto resentment after a difficult breakup. No matter how many New Moon wishes she made, she felt stuck. After using the Full Moon to write a forgiveness list, she realized she had been blaming herself for the relationship ending. Once she forgave herself, she noticed her energy shifted. Two months later, she met someone new who was a perfect match.
James’ Story James was stuck in a cycle of financial struggle. He had a pattern of blaming his former employer for the loss of a past job. During one Full Moon, he wrote a forgiveness list focused on letting go of resentment toward his old boss. Not long after, he was offered a higher-paying position at a new company — a job he says he “never would have seen coming.”
Sophie’s Story Sophie struggled with low self-worth, constantly replaying past mistakes in her head. For her Full Moon forgiveness list, she wrote, “I forgive myself for not knowing better at the time.” That one act of self-compassion changed everything. She felt lighter, more confident, and finally had the courage to apply for the dream job she’d been scared to go after.
