End of 2011 Sacred Ceremony

Gazing into candle flame

Year-end is a great time to reflect on what we’d like to release and say good-bye to. For those who have had to deal with challenges, this is a perfect time to let go of any heaviness within. A simple sacred ceremony can be performed to assist you in your releasing and then calling in your wishes and intentions. Start by lighting a candle to invoke Spirit and any other spiritual helpers. Call upon the directions and elements to create sacred space. Write down all the things you choose to release, such as habits, health issues, stressful situations, beliefs that no longer serve you, etc. Bring the paper in front of your mouth, connect to the energy of the things you wrote down, and blow into the paper. Burn, bury or rip up the paper, feeling yourself relinquishing these things.

Next, think of what you would like to bring into your life, such as abundance, vibrant health, harmonious relationships, clarity, etc. You could choose one of the following to let the Universe know your wishes and intentions:

  • Toss a handful of birdseed outdoors for each wish/intention
  • Make a collage with pictures and words
  • Write them onto paper, place the paper to your heart to infuse with love and gratitude, and then place it in a special box or container

You might think of other things you’d like to include in your ceremony. Go with your guidance and be spontaneous. And know that you are empowering yourself by the physical action of ceremony and adding it to your prayers. Close your ceremony by thanking all who assisted and blowing out the candle.
