November's Full Moon Purging.

Hello and Happy Sunday my fellow Zenful readers. How are you today? How was your week? And how's your weekend been? I've been on relax mode. Which is what I needed. I was feeling under the weather mid week and in listening to my body I wanted to rest this weekend to prepare for the busy work week I know I have ahead. Not to mention Thanksgiving  Day/long weekend after that. I am very excited for Thanksgiving Day. It's one of the few days a year that I go all out for my family and cook and bake everyone's favorite foods and desserts. And in the end I have an easy long weekend with the family with plenty of yumminess to heat and serve from all our leftovers. I also start decorating for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving so it makes it very easy for me after all the cooking and baking. 

As I type I can't help but feel the excitement and coziness that surrounds my home for the holidays season. During this time my home carries the scent of apple and cinnamon as one comes in. I have a two cinnamon shaped brooms over both our front door and back door of our home. I love the scene as I walk into our home after a long day at work. It literally melts my stress away. That wonderful healing scent of cinnamon and apple. I've been ignoring all the early Christmas decorations that have already filled the stores. They've started earlier this year and I am not ready for it. But now, today, that we are only one more weekend away from Thanksgiving Day I'm feeling the magic that is, The Christmas Spirit. :) But before we can think of Saint Nick, let's get through this November's Full Moon shall we? Do you have your water handy? Drink up as you get your items ready for this purging ritual. 

Let's get right to it, shall we readers? First off, I'd like to share with you a site that will give you a nice read on the Full Moon Ritual. I loved how I attracted this site to me in my google search. I am a firm believer that we attract what is in our thoughts. I wanted a good easy ready site on this subject and this is what I got. Thank you Universe!!!

The items you will need for your purging ceremony. A pencil and paper so you're able to write down on paper what you need to purge, release, change and or let go of. I wrote four items down. You will also need a fire proof pot to let each of your intents burn as well as water in case the fire gets out of hand. Of course when handling lighters, matchers or any type of flames, please be extra careful. 

Once I had written down my intent of what my changes will be, I began with my ceremony. Nothing much has changed or is different from our usual past Sunday Smudge Days, as you view the pictures below you will see. 

I have, however, added a bowl of water to represent the element, water. I have the gemstones and even the heart shaped painted rock to represent, earth; candles lit represent, fire, and air, which since I'm inside my home, we'll make due with the air in my lungs. We will also be outdoors and will be able to use the element, air when we go outside for the purging part. 

Let's begin with our opening smudging prayer. I'd like to ask The Lord our Father as well The Universe to be here with us today as I smudge on this Full Moon Sunday and cleanse each of those that are reading this. 

I'd like to also ask my ancestors to be present, as well as the elements earth, rain, wind, & fire to be here with us. I'd like to call on the goddess of the north, east, south & west. As well as our archangels Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, Gabriel for revelation & Uriel for wisdom. 

Please release us all of any negative energy that does not suit or support our needs. Please Lord and Universe be here with us and help us during our time of needing healing, protection, revelation, and wisdom. 

Please let us all have a drama free and great work week. Let our kids have a wonderful week at school and or day care. Please let all issues regarding friendships, spouses or family be resolved as they are meant to be. In a kind and peaceful manner. 

I'd like to use this time for you to join me in saying each of our intent out loud as well as light each of our intents aflame so that we may begin the change, let go, purge, and or release that negativity, that bad feeling that we may be holding on. 

Below you will see a picture of the items I use for my ceremony. Water, Earth, and Fire. 

~~Don't forget to breathe and release the negative energies when you exhale~~

Let the flame flicker and eat away at what we are changing to make us a better individual for ourselves, our children, our spouse, and our friends and family members. We have the control to change and mold our lives the way we want it. Outside crap can get in the way of this but we must learn to not forget so we can be a happy human. We are each beautiful individuals; we are worthy of wonderful things. Let go of any doubt you may have of yourself. If this doubt was planted because of a past negative experience. Let us let go together. Let us look at life with a positive light. Hold my hand and I will help you walk out of darkness. You are not alone. None of us are. Unless we choose to be. There are still good people out there. We must attract that so we may receive it and surround ourselves of the wondrous light of love and laugher and positive energy. 

Let your messages be released into the Universe so the may be heard....

Please see the sage smoke carry away all your worries, intents, and blow them away with the element wind, burn them away with the element fire, soak them away with the element water so that the element earth may ground you. 

Take these few minutes to visual this and clear this away......

Everyone okay?? 

We are nearly done :) now for the closing prayer.

I'd like to thank you Lord and the Universe for giving me opportunity to share my Zenful experience with others on This November Full Moon Sunday. I want to thank my ancestors for being present. I'd like to also, thank the elements earth, rain, wind, & fire for being with us. I'd like to thank the goddess of the north, east, south & west. As well as our archangels Raphael for healing, Michael for protection, Gabriel for revelation & Uriel for wisdom. 

Thank you Lord and Universe for always looking out for us and for giving us all the Blessings we have. Thank you for my yesterday, for my today and for the abundance of a wonderful week ahead.

I'd like to leave you with something I's written a while ago. I feel it's appropriate and fits with the theme of this Blog. Thank you again for joining me on my journey. Until next week. 

People come into your life for a reason. These people are whispers in our pages, of our, book of life. These whispers may go as far back as childhood. And the whispers of friendship may be long, the bond tight. But as does time. All things change. It's okay for these whispers to fade...to end even. Take what a friendship gives, and thats life's many lessons, whether from their eyes or yours. Each whisper is a message. One can have a person pop into their lives. The whispers SO amazing because of the short amount of time one knew the person. One usually goes thru the trusting stages of that whisper/friendship. But that too is a lesson learned. For those friendships that are new, the whispers may be long lasting. So if one feels that a friendship has ended, it's okay. Life is a constant change. We each change and flow through our book of life. Some whispers are meant to stay until your last days. Other whispers leave when you thought they'd never. Appreciate ALL that life hands you. Our lives are not written in stone; so laugh from within AND deeply, AND love with all that you have AND all that you are. Blessed Be.

~ Namaste~
