Moon water is made by placing pure water in a clean, clear container (preferably glass) and leaving it out overnight to absorb the energy of the moonlight, typically during a full moon. The water is charged with the moon's energy, and many people set intentions or meditate while the water is soaking in the moonlight. It is best to bring the water back inside before sunrise to preserve the charged energy. Here is a simple step-by-step process to make moon water:
- Use highly purified water, such as filtered, spring, or distilled water.
- Place the water in a clean glass jar or container with or without a lid.
- Put the container outside or on a windowsill where it can be exposed directly to the moonlight for several hours (6-8 hours or overnight).
- While setting the water out, focus on an intention or affirmation to imbue the water with your desired energy.
- Retrieve the water before sunrise to keep its charged energy.
- Use the moon water for drinking, ritual, soaking, or other personal uses.
Optional additions may include crystals, herbs, or essential oils for enhanced effects, but these are not necessary. This ritual is considered a spiritual or energetic practice rather than a scientific process, drawing on traditions similar to holy water and other charged substances.
