Ritual
Written By Yesenia Berroa, June 23 2016
Ritual work is seen throughout the history of mankind. It is prevalent in every spiritual belief and Religion. It exists in our daily patterns, the way we live, the decisions we make. We each have our own rituals, such as what we do when we awaken from sleep. One ’s ritual may be to make coffee and shower, while another being goes out for a run. These are all small subconscious rituals we take to produce the energy we want for the day ahead.
Ritual is about intention and belief, you create an environment, an atmosphere to enhance the belief of your success. The more energy and intention used the larger the potential of obtainment.
We live in a universe of mirrors and the energy you send out is what will echo back to you.
The most important step of a ritual is your belief. Do you believe that it will work and that you will receive your desired outcome? All other ritual steps taken such as the use of candles, crystals and even blood are all to enhance this belief. You must subconsciously believe that you will succeed... and you will.
An important thing to note is that the universe is not of ill nor good intent, it just is. It is a mechanism for materialization. You are what determines the intention. Whether it be good or bad, rituals taken will promote its manifestation.
The universe is a place of balance, of giving and receiving. Cause and Effect. We exist in a mirror and what you send will eventually echo back to you. This is known by all practitioners of magic. What you send you will receive threefold, whether it be good or bad. With this in mind, make your choice and decide what you in the long run want to manifest for yourself.
You decide exactly what kind of ritual you want to create, what kind of intention you are setting and the experience you want to have in order to intensify your belief of a successful outcome. Each ritual is unique to each individual.
Ritual is about intention and belief, you create an environment, an atmosphere to enhance the belief of your success. The more energy and intention used the larger the potential of obtainment.
How to create a conscious Ritual
Make it an event, the more details you include the stronger the ritual and manifestation.
Include the 5 elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire and Aether (spirit) to introduce earthly and celestial energies. Create a sacred space around nature or in your home. You can begin by commencing a period of cleansing, removing old negative energy from your body and adding positive frequencies. You can do this with meditations such as yoga, or the use of sage, palo santo or other air purifiers. The use of crystals enhances your manifestation as well as the use of candles. It is all about creating the right atmosphere to bring forth the frequency you desire.
You can also use celestial events to enhance your rituals, such as New moons, Full moons, Eclipses, and meteor showers. Planetary alignments and the use of numerology can also enhance your manifestation.
New Moon Rituals:
New moons are about beginnings. You can use this time to conduct rituals to launch a new career, enhance the success of goals and projects and set intentions for the lunar month
Full moon Rituals:
Full moons are our peak of energy. You can use this lunar energy to conduct rituals of gratitude and release of the old.
Using the exact time the moon becomes New or Full in correlation with the zodiac sign it is positioned in, will enhance your manifestations.
Example:
New moon in Capricorn
New moon= Beginnings Capricorn= structure, discipline, earth Therefore rituals conducted during this celestial event can bring about more discipline, better work ethic grounding and connection to the earth.
Ritual steps
Before conducting a ritual you must know exactly what you want to manifest, in great detail.
1.Find an environment that makes you feel safe, comfortable and inspired. This can be out in nature, by the sea, a lake, the woods, a garden. Or it can be in the comfort of your own home in the place where you feel most at ease.
2.Set the atmosphere: create an atmosphere of ease, by introducing things such as candles, incense, sage, crystals and calming music. Whatever resonates with you best, ( what are some elements you believe can ease your mind)
3.Cleanse the space: You can do this by lighting sage or any herbs you resonate with. Each herb has its own meaning/symbolism and can add different elements to your cleanse. Herbs and plants such as Mug wort, rose, lilac, thyme, bay leaf. You can also set an intention of clarity & safety for your space through the use of prayer & meditation. Calling upon your guides, or a higher power to assist you or Imagining your space enveloped in gold. Make sure to open windows when you sage.
4.Bring balance to your mind: Do something that centers you. This can only be truly determined by you. Test out different things to see what works best for you. It can be to sing, dance, painting, reciting mantras, or breathing techniques. A quick body clearing meditation can aid in grounding the body.
5.Count your blessings and give an offering: Take time to state your gratitude for what you already have and for what you will manifest. Give an offering such as a song, a flower, the energy of love.
6.Set your intentions for the lunar cycle: You can do this by speaking them out loud and or writing them down. Making your goals, desires physical in sound or writing will enhance its manifestation. This step is very important. Keeping goals in your thoughts makes it less obtainable. They are easy to forget or loose track of. Writing it down is the first step in holding yourself accountable & a way to keep track of your manifestations and patterns in your universe.
Script it and Speak it into existence.
7.Meditate on the feeling of success. How will having what you desire make you feel? In order to experience what you desire you must match the vibration of that particular universe. Your emotion is the wheel to get you there. Meditate on the feeling of already having it. During this time ponder about what you will do with this success and who will you be when you have it? How does that person feel? And what will they do next?
8.Close the ritual: Thank the elements and your guides /higher power, blow out your candles & close the space.
9. Sit in gratitude for what is to come. Feel its inevitability.
