Modern technology has made it possible to do the same work year round, and to do any activity any season.
However, our bodies and spirits are still operating on Earth’s time. Our bodies and spirits prepare for the changing seasons, even when our minds are otherwise occupied.
Now that we can do pretty much anything pretty much anytime we want, we never seem to get around to the things that matter most to us, and this throws us off balance.
When we’re off balance, any little thing can knock us down and set us back. So tonight, I’m going to show you a way to invite balance back into your body, heart, mind, and spirit.
For this healing rite, you need:
- a bowl of water big enough to wash your hands in
- about a teaspoon of sea salt (or plain salt)
- a small glass of water (to drink)
- a few minutes of uninterrupted time in a place where you feel safe and comfortable
Read over this whole rite before you get started so you know what you are doing.
Then, get comfortable. Tell your brain firmly to stop chattering and let you heal. Relax your body, and breathe deeply as long as you need to.
When you feel ready, pour the salt into your palm. Cover the salt with your other hand. Close your eyes, breathe deeply, and imagine all the stress, frustration, tension, worry, anger, fear, and pain in your heart, mind, and body flowing down your arms, through your palms, and into the salt.
The salt absorbs all the energy you put into it. It greedily sucks up the last bits of negative energy from your palms and holds it for you.
When you are ready, open your eyes, and wash the salt from your hands in the bowl of water, washing those ickies off of your hands and out of your life.
Now that you have removed that damaged energy from yourself, you have created a void that must be filled. Most people vent off their anger, pain, or fear…and then fill the void with the same pain, anger, or fear. Counterproductive, much?
The only way to heal anger is to overwhelm it with love & forgiveness.
The only way to heal pain is to overwhelm it with joy & pleasure.
The only way to heal fear is to overwhelm it with peace & trust.
Now is the time to fill your own personal void with love, joy, and peace.
Hold your cup of water in both hands and close your eyes. Think in great detail about people, memories, and activities that make you feel confident, happy, safe, loved, special, and peaceful. Let those fillings fill you up, and overflow from your heart, down your arms, through your palms and into the water.
When you feel ready, acknowledge that your water is blessed with love, peace, and joy, and that you accept this peace, love and joy as your own. It helps to acknowledge this out loud…it makes it more real for you to hear your own voice saying it. Then drink this blessed water, and visualize it filling your void, healing you, and making you whole and healthy.
