A New Moon Ritual

Hello Fellow Travelers, 

This new moon eclipse is a perfect time for a ritual. Ritual is using your intentional thoughts to create and manifest an outcome or desire.

Before you decide what outcome or desire you are wanting to manifest or create, you must first take some time to release.

Release is the key for this new moon/eclipse. 

As a collective we are all in the healing waters, desiring to let go of all that has hurt us, caused us to feel victimized or martyred.

You may have worked diligently to overcome feelings of victimization, become more connected to your own sense of power, and handed over the chains of martyrdom long ago. Yet somewhere inside you these energies still exist and they are needing to be called out. This time you are to gently coax them out, not to reprimand, but to LOVE them.

Victimization and  Martyrdom are ways of being that are held in high esteem in our culture. Whoever suffers the most wins. Whoever works the hardest wins, whoever turns over their power to the winner wins. Whoever proves they suffered the most wins, or at least gets  a lot of attention. Then, whoever works hard for no return is seen as the winner, whoever will die for a cause is glorified. Who and what are we glorifying? Who is the real enemy? Who or what inside or outside are we giving our power to? 

These dynamics are alive within you somewhere. 

What "cause" has you suffering or giving of your life blood, your energy, your time, or resources, with no healing in sight? Where are you overlooking your own self in order to have love, acceptence or confidence, from an outside source, be it family, community or the Divine? Have you been loosing yourself in the exact areas where you were hoping to find yourself? Where are you not loving towards yourself? 

Time to let it go into the healing waters of unconditional love.

Let us each take a moment to feel into these questions and get a sense of where our power is leaking. Then feel into this feeling of powerlessness or helplessness. Then imagine yourself or put yourself physically into healing waters. Remembering that Love is in all.

Set in a bath, sit near a stream or body of water and let the feelings of suffering, pain, powerlessness and helplessness flow into the water. Feel yourself held up by the water, or the energy of healing waters, as you let whatever suffering go...whatever you've tried so hard at, let it go...whatever cracks and crevices you are hiding your shadow self in, let the healing waters in.

The healing waters are filled with the highest octave of love. Divine, Unconditional, Pure, Unfiltered, Genuine, Source. And in this energy is all of it. The goodness and the scariness too.

After all, the root of the word Martyr is Witness. 

We are here now to Witness our own healing, our own transformation, our own letting go, surrendering and yielding to love.

For this ritual use the element of water to help you release any emotions that you refuse to feel, feel them, release them into the water. 

Use the element of air by breathing deeply. Inhaling the energy of Love and exhaling Love. 

Use the element of fire by burning sage or a candle in honor of your igniting passion, your freedom and release from the restrictions of your own inner chains of hidden pain, martyrdom or victimization.  

Use the element of the earth by walking or dancing after you work with the releasing into the water. Step into your body, feel your physical body as the vibrant and alive being that it is. Really feel it as the vessel of your Spirit. Your Spirit lives in your bones, your muscles and all of your organs. All of you is Divine!

Finally using the element of the ethers by sending your intentions out into the sky by speaking them out loud.

If you feel called create intentions around Healing, Wholeness, Acceptance, Divine Love, One-ness, Connection, Ressurection, Value, Process, and Freedom in body, mind and spirit. 

This is a time to be re-born. And this time will last for the next several weeks. Spring 2016 is truly a time to Birth the Power of your Unique Spirit! 

Love and blessings,
