A Healing Ritual
I suggest that you take time to become very aware of the emotional pain/trama that you intend to heal. Exploring it mentally prior to engaging in this ritual will help to insure results. Afterall not knowing what it is your healing doesnt make much sense does it? Using self discovery you will be "peeling off the scab" so to speak. Once you feel certain you have identified it this ritual will be the equivilent of cleansing the wound, and pouring anticeptic on it so that the true healing can take place. THIS IS NOT A GAME.
You will need :
Sage bundle
Sweetgrass bundle
Dried flowers/potporri
Alter Candle
4 small round candles (white) or use your God/Godess candles as 2 of these to be used on the alter.
1 medium tall candle (a favorite candle of yours)
1 small intent candle
1 glass (challice)
1 bucket
2 clothes (that you use for your alter)
Use the following to layout candles:
O
o ALTER o
"I"
o FLOOR o
O
The O above the word Alter is your alter candle which should be at the head of your alter. The o's are the 4 small round candles, and the "I" is your intent candle.
The cloths should be laid out in front of the alter. One will have your bucket on it (closest to the alter), the other should be folded in such a way as you can rest your knees in a kneeling position (facing the alter)
Before beginning fill your glass with water and set it on your alter. You will lay the sage and sweetgrass bundles on the cloth next to the bucket (with matches).
To Begin:
Light your alter candle first. Then light each of the other candles in any fashion you feel is right. The intent candle should not be lit. Once the candles are lit stand in front of your alter and ask Spirit to be with you, as well as your guides and request protection with white light. Set your intent in your mind and focus on it... the focus it to your intent candle (HEALING is our intent in this ritual). Light your intent candle.
Take the dried flowers and lay them on the floor between your candles, to form and complete your circle. Kneel on your cloth with bucket in front of you and facing your alter. Light your sage stick and wait until the fire extenguishes itself. Use the smoke of the sage to cleanse you by first having it directly in front of you (solar plexus) and then begin to wave the sage around you. Invision the smoke cleansing and clearing your energy/aura.
Once again light the sage bundle and place it (on something) inside the bucket. Close your eyes and feel where the emotional pain is located within. I would imagine it is the solar plexus area aka empath bottle. Place your hands as you would do to catch water falling from a fountain. And tell the pain to come out into your hands. At first it may come out in the form of an energy ball. Once you feel that that is complete set the ball over the sage and wave your hands over the bucket saying "energy return to your neutral state". Your allowing the sage to cleanse the energy.
Place palms facing up and ask the roots to come out into them. You may feel/see a large black root push out of you into your hands. Allow it to come out as much as it will feeding it into the bucket. When it is no longer coming out by itself visualize the smaller roots unwrapping from what they're rooted to allowing you to gently pull them out. As I did this the roots seemed to go from one large root into much smaller roots. Finally the roots become so small that its like a strand of hair. When the final strands are out, you may feel the need/want to scrape the area with your hands our push together the wound to be sure everything is out. Putting all of that energy into the bucket for your sage to clear. Re-light the sage one final time. Lean over the bucket with hands on the floor and arch your back. Allow the sage to fill the wound and cleanse it. While I did this I felt my hands grounding.
Once you are satisfied with the cleansing stand at your alter and give thanks in your own way to spirit and ask that your water be charged with healing energy. Light the sweetgrass bundle and let the smoke rise up to send Spirit your gratitude. Set the bundle down and drink your healing water. Thank your guides for the protection gather the dried flowers and put them away, then put out your candles on the floor. Put out alter candles when you choose.
Heal well my dear friends. Blessings on your heroic mission.
