4. Meditate
   Spend time in meditation to connect with the energy of the new moon. Visualize your intentions as already being fulfilled.

15. Connect with Nature
    Go outside during the new moon night, connect with nature, and listen to the sounds around you. This helps ground your new intentions in the natural world.

Embrace the energy of the new moon, and let it guide your practices as you forge a path toward renewal and clarity.
