Lessons to Learn from Amavasya Nights
Amavasya teaches us profound lessons if we pause to listen:
- Courage in Darkness: Life’s darkest moments often reveal our deepest strength.
- The Cycle of Renewal: The new moon reminds us that endings are essential for fresh starts.
- The Art of Letting Go: Releasing toxic thoughts, relationships, or fears creates space for abundance.
Instead of dreading the darkness, let Amavasya nights be your sanctuary for introspection and transformation.
How to Channel the Energy of Amavasya
1. Meditate with the New Moon
Find a quiet space, light a moon soy wax candle, and sit in stillness. Focus on your breath and visualize releasing what no longer serves you.
2. Practice Aromatherapy
The sense of smell is deeply tied to emotions. Harness the soothing power of essential oils:
- Lavender for calmness and clarity.
- Frankincense to elevate spiritual vibrations.
- Cedarwood for grounding energy.
Diffuse these oils during meditation or use them in a warm bath to enhance relaxation.
3. Cleanse Your Space
Burn incense sticks to purify your surroundings and uplift your spirit. Phool’s Vetiver incense is perfect for grounding, while Sandalwood incense invokes serenity and divine energy.

Write down what you want to release and manifest. Amavasya is a night of magic, and putting your thoughts on paper helps solidify your intentions.
5. Perform a Simple Ritual
Light a sacred moon candle or an incense stick that resonates with your mood. As the fragrance fills the air, imagine it carrying your wishes to the universe.
