RITUAL OF SELF BLESSING

Use this ritual when you are feeling out of balance. This ritual connects you to the deepest levels of healing. It also connects you to the four elements and their energies. As with all posted rituals this is meant as a guideline to assist in developing your own. Feel free to adapt, use part or none of it to meet your needs.

ITEMS NEEDED

A white candle but if called to use another color that is fine.

Incense (Whatever you feel comfortable with)

Small bowl of water.

Small bowl of salt.

The candle represents the element of Fire.
The element of Fire reflects your relationships, protection, ideas and achievements.

The incense represents Air.
The element of Air reflects your creativity, spirituality, inspiration and philosophies.

The bowl of water is Water.
The element of Water reflects your emotions, intuition, dream states, psychic gifts and healing balance.

The bowl of salt is Earth.
The element of Earth reflects your practicality, knowledge, sacred wisdom and growth.

1. Find a quiet time and place where you will not be disturbed. You may make this as informal as you choose.

2. Light the incense and take a few moments to consider the element of Air. Consider the gifts that

Air reflects in you.

3. Light the candle and take a few moments to consider the element of Fire. Consider the gifts that

Fire reflects in you.

Consider the blending of the elements that creates life itself.
Consider the balance of elements and their attributes in your life.
Take a few moments to do this.

Facing the candle, dip your fingers in the water mixture and touch your forehead. Say: -

'Bless me (name of Goddess you align with), for I am your child.'

Now, dip your fingers in the water mixture and touch the area around your eyes.
Be careful not to get salt in your eyes. SAY:

'Bless my eyes that I may see you.'

Dip again and touch your nose. SAY: -

'Bless my nose that I may breath your essence.'

Dip again and touch your ears. SAY:

'Bless my ears that I may hear your wisdom.'

Dip again and touch your mouth. SAY:

'Bless my mouth that I may speak your name.'

Dip again and touch your heart. SAY:

'Bless my heart that I may feel your love.'

Dip again and touch your lower abdomen. SAY:

'Bless my cauldron center that I may create harmony.'

Dip again and touch your feet. SAY: -

'Bless my feet that I may walk in balance.'

Dip again and rub your hands together. SAY:

'Bless my hands that I may share your healing in my work.'

Meditate. Take all the time you need to concentrate on the elements before you.
Focus your attention on the candle and visualize healing light flowing into you.
Feel strength emerging from deep inside yourself.
Breathe deeply and capture the moment. Connect with the source of strength and healing.

7. When you feel you are finished, extinguish the candle.
Save the candle for future self-blessing rituals.
Return the water mixture and incense ash to the Earth.
