Nurturing Your Soul: 8 Ways to Care for Yourself After Eclipse Season and Full Moon Energies

Hello, beautiful souls! As we emerge from the intense cosmic dance of eclipse season—complete with that potent Full Moon energy many of us are feeling the aftershocks. Eclipses shake things up, revealing shadows, accelerating growth, and sometimes leaving us a bit raw and reflective. The recent lunar and solar eclipses in September 2025 have been no exception, stirring deep emotional waters and inviting profound transformation and a spiritual awakening.

If you’re riding the waves of fatigue, heightened intuition, or a sense of rebirth, know that you’re not alone. This is a sacred time for integration and self care. Below, I’ve shared eight gentle, empowering ways to nurture yourself as the energies settle. These practices draw from my shamanic roots, Reiki wisdom, and intuitive guidance to help you ground, release, and realign. Let’s dive in!

1. Ground Your Energy with Earth Connection

Eclipse energies can leave us feeling unmoored, like we’re floating in the ether. To anchor back in, spend time connecting with the earth. Try walking barefoot on grass, soil, or sand known as earthing. This simple act helps discharge excess energy and recharge your root chakra. If you’re indoors, hold grounding crystals like black tourmaline or hematite while visualizing roots extending from your feet into the earth’s core. Aim for 10 15 minutes daily to restore balance and stability. This physical anchoring supports the restoration of vitality, much like the process of soul retrieval.

2. Journal Your Eclipse Insights: A Practice of Shamanism

The veils are thin during eclipses, often bringing downloads of wisdom or unresolved emotions to the surface. Grab your favorite journal and free write about what surfaced for you. Ask yourself: What patterns are ending? What new beginnings are calling? Don’t censor—just let it flow. This practice transforms chaos into clarity, helping you integrate the lessons. This kind of intentional work is core to shamanism and deep self inquiry. Pro tip: Light a candle infused with essential oils like frankincense to enhance your intuitive flow.

3. Hydrate with Mindful Infusions for Energy Healing

Water is a powerful conductor of energy, and post eclipse, our bodies crave purification. Elevate your hydration by infusing water or herbal teas with intention. Chamomile soothes frazzled nerves, while peppermint clears mental fog. Add slices of lemon or cucumber for a detox boost. As you sip, affirm: “I release what no longer serves and welcome vibrant energy.” This ritual flushes out emotional residue and revitalizes your aura, a key aspect of energy healing.

4. Move Gently to Release Stagnant Vibes

Our bodies hold onto eclipse induced tension, so gentle movement is key. Opt for yin yoga, tai chi, or a slow, intuitive dance to your favorite playlist. Focus on hip openers to release stored emotions or heart centered poses to foster self love. Avoid high intensity workouts if you’re drained—instead, honor your body’s rhythm. Movement shakes off old energies, creating space for fresh inspiration to flow.

5. Set Sacred Boundaries

Eclipses often highlight relationships and power dynamics, making boundary setting essential for post season care. Reflect on where your energy is leaking—perhaps to draining people or overcommitments—and reclaim it. Practice saying “no” with grace, and affirm your worth. Surround yourself with soul nourishing connections that uplift rather than deplete. Remember, boundaries aren’t walls; they’re bridges to deeper authenticity and peace.

6. Cleanse with Crystals and Moonlight: Supporting Shamanic Healing

Harness the waning moon’s energy to cleanse your space and self. Place crystals like selenite, clear quartz, or amethyst under moonlight (even if it’s not full) to recharge them. Smudge your home with sage or palo santo, visualizing white light enveloping you. For a personal aura cleanse, hold a crystal over your chakras during meditation. This ritual clears lingering eclipse shadows, inviting harmony and protection, and is a gentle form of shamanic healing.

7. Nourish Your Body with Grounding Foods

Food is medicine, especially when cosmic energies have us feeling spacey. Focus on root vegetables like sweet potatoes, carrots, and beets to ground your energy. Incorporate warming spices such as ginger or turmeric for anti inflammatory support, and don’t forget a bit of dark chocolate for its mood boosting magic. Eat mindfully, giving thanks for the nourishment—it’s a beautiful way to fuel your inner light and stabilize post eclipse fluctuations.

8. Embrace Rest and Release Rituals

Finally, prioritize rest as the ultimate act of self care. Create evening rituals: Dim the lights, play soothing sound baths (like crystal bowls or binaural beats), and perform a full body scan meditation. Breathe deeply, releasing tension from head to toe. Whisper gratitudes for the growth you’ve experienced. If sleep eludes you, try a warm bath with Epsom salts and lavender. Rest allows integration, turning eclipse lessons into lasting empowerment.

As we step into this new chapter, remember: Eclipses aren’t just disruptions—they’re divine invitations to evolve. By caring for yourself with these practices, you’re honoring your soul’s journey and emerging stronger, more aligned, and radiant.
