Create a Medicine
wheel or sacred circle. Start at the East, using salt, cornmeal, or if indoors,
incense smoke. Walk in a circle, clockwise, until you are facing East
again.
Say a blessing (use one of the following or make up your own).
"Mother Earth (God/Goddess, Creator, Source,
Universe, or whatever feels right), I create a sacred circle today in Your
honor. May the medicine raised here today be for the good of all life."
"Loving Mother, Father, Son, Great Spirit, all the angels and saints, all
beings of light, I create this sacred circle in your
honor."
"I humbly ask that you guide and aid me in this healing, that it may be complete
and in doing so, help to heal the Earth and all living things. As I surrender
my will to yours, let me be harmless always and protect us with your love
and light." (See yourself bathed in a brilliant white light.)
Relax with deep breathing, with each exhale, breathe out all negativity --
let it go and release it with love.
Ask, "Do I want this healing?" Be sure to feel the right answer before
proceeding.
Breath in God’s light and love and know that right now, God’s great
healing power is ready to reverse every negative emotion, soothe every hurt,
remove every fear, heal every cell.
Relax and let the Universal Life Force that is flowing within each of us,
flow freely now and do its healing work.
Close your eyes and relax. Light a sage stick or incense of cedar and sage,
and fan the smoke into your "aura," or energy field surrounding your physical
body, asking the higher forces to cleanse you.
Then, proceed with a healing session: Reiki, massage (or both), meditation,
prayer, or whatever you chose. This will tremendously increase the energy
of whichever healing method you use.
