Moon Journaling Rituals with Tea: How to Track Your Emotions by the Lunar Cycle

Your emotions move in cycles—just like the moon. They expand, contract, intensify, and soften. When you begin to track your emotional patterns alongside the lunar phases, you start to notice your own rhythm. And when you combine that awareness with a calming cup of tea, you create a nurturing, sensory ritual that supports healing, presence, and personal growth.

At Carry Kumba, we believe that real wellness begins with self-awareness. Moon journaling and tea give you space to tune in, slow down, and align with your inner world.

What Is Moon Journaling?

Moon journaling is the practice of reflecting and writing in sync with the moon’s phases. Each phase carries a different energetic signature:

  • New Moon: time for planting intentions and starting fresh
  • Waxing Moon: momentum and growth
  • Full Moon: release, clarity, and celebration
  • Waning Moon: rest, reflection, and integration

Journaling with the moon allows you to map your emotional landscape with more grace. According to Well+Good, lunar journaling helps build emotional intelligence and encourages intentional living by aligning your inner world with natural cycles.

How to Create a Moon Journaling Ritual with Tea

1. Track the Moon Phase
Use a moon phase calendar or app to stay in sync. Knowing where the moon is can help you align your journaling prompts and tea selection with the current energy.

2. Set a Sacred Space
Keep the lighting soft, light a candle, and prepare your tea with care. The ritual of tea-making helps you ground before writing.

3. Choose a Tea Blend to Match the Moon Phase

  • New Moon: Pineapple Green Tea — Light, energizing, and perfect for intention-setting
  • Waxing Moon: CBD Tea Sample Pack — Try creative or invigorating blends to support growth and momentum
  • Full Moon: Strawberry Sleep Tea — A soothing blend to support emotional release and clarity
  • Waning Moon: Mobility Spiced CBD Chai Tea — Grounding, warming, and supportive for rest and reflection

4. Journal with Intention
Here are a few moon-aligned journaling prompts:

  • What am I ready to welcome or begin?
  • What am I feeling emotionally right now, and what needs to be released?
  • What patterns are emerging this cycle?
  • What lessons am I integrating?

Let your writing be honest and unfiltered. This is a practice of self-connection—not perfection.

5. Close Your Ritual with Gratitude
Once you’ve written, sit in silence for a moment. Thank your body for showing up, your tea for supporting you, and the moon for guiding your awareness.
