When you plant during the full moon, you’re not just nurturing herbs—you’re aligning your soul with ancestral wisdom and the divine rhythm of nature. In African traditions, planting was never just about crops—it was a spiritual act, a form of reverence, and a way to sow prayers into the Earth.

At Laya’s Touch, we believe your roots—both physical and spiritual—deserve to be honored. This full moon, we invite you to step into a sacred planting practice rooted in clarity, intention, and ancestral alignment.

Why Plant During the Full Moon?

The full moon symbolizes fullness, clarity, and heightened energy. Just as the tides rise under its glow, so does your inner power. Planting at this time enhances growth, deepens intention, and calls in emotional and spiritual healing.

The Laya’s Touch Full Moon Planting Practice

1. Cleanse Your Space with Intention

Sweep your garden or pots with a natural broom. Use a water rinse made with lemongrass, basil, or lavender to clear stagnant energy and open the soil to receive blessings.

2. Pour Libations to Honor Your Lineage

Pour a small offering of spring water or herbal tea into the soil. Call the names of those who came before you. Call on your Grandmothers, your Spirit Guides, or Earth Spirits you walk with. Whisper prayers or affirmations like:

“I plant in love. I water with wisdom. I grow in truth.”

” I plant these seeds in alignment with your wisdom, Mother Earth and under the Moons guidance.”

3. Select Herbs That Support Your Healing

This full moon, consider planting:

• Lavender – for peace and emotional release
• Rosemary – for memory and strength
• Blue Vervain – for nervous system support
• Basil – for prosperity and protection
• Lemongrass – for spiritual cleansing

Each herb carries a vibration. Let it match your current intention.

4. Plant Your Seeds with a Spoken Intention

Write your affirmation on biodegradable paper and place it beneath your seed or start. Speak it aloud. Example:

“As I plant this vervain, I release old emotions and call in peace.”

5. Bless the Soil

Sprinkle moon water or a herbal infusion over the soil. Add a crystal like rose quartz or moonstone for extra energetic support.

6. Breathe, Reflect & Rise with the Moon

After planting, sit under the moonlight. Place your hands in the soil. Breathe. Journal what you’re healing and what you’re growing—both spiritually and physically.

Closing Words

At Laya’s Touch, we know your roots remember. Your healing is not separate from the land—it’s connected to it. So plant like your ancestors are watching. Grow like your spirit is listening.
