New Year, New Energy

Good Day and Happy Sunday, My Zenful Readers. How have you all been? How's your New Year been so far these last few weeks? Well, I hope! As you've noticed I didn't add an entry last Sunday. I will be honest, I nearly ended my Zenful Journey Blog. But in these few weeks and after speaking with my husband, a few friends here at home, and a few of, whom I now consider to be my family as well as my now avid Zenful readers have helped lift my own energy and journey of discouragement. Thanks to your words which I hold dear and a few changes, I am now back on track. :) One of my sistahs said I may have just needed to step away from the blogging for a bit, but that I shouldn't stop all together. And I agree. I did also gift myself a little technology that will help me share my journey a lot easier with you all, than how I shared it in the past. So, I am grateful that I was in the position to purchase my newest toy. Leia. lol. She's all white and extra pretty and reminded me of Princess Leah, in her all white outfit. Star Wars fans know what I speak of lol! I'm like 7% Geek, I think. LOL.

So with this, my New Zenful Journey Blog, entry of the New Year I will share with you all, my purging experience that I did a few weeks back. Then, I will end this Blog with The Sunday Smudge Day Cleansing. 

So a few weeks ago after I had already written down on paper what I wanted to purge. I set up my room for a Major Zenful Spiritual and Purging Ceremony. When I do these ceremonies depending where I am (outside or inside) I will use different items to help me feel that I am closer to the earth. After all when working my magic I should be feeling grounded to the earth. 

Since the weather was too cold and very damp I had to make do with my Ceremony being done indoors, which is totally fine as well. These are the tools I used for my Ceremony: I used a brown scarf I had to represent the earth, I also used a brown candle which I always use as my astral candle. (I use its candle to represent me and the element, fire) As you see in the picture below I also added a few of my gemstones for their energy; Amethyst, two Blue Agates, and my aquamarine. I also, used the sage bundle, which is a mix of cedar, sage, and dessert sage, and its abalone shell, a small cast iron pan where my written intent will burn.

(Sage Bundle Burning, love the way the sage smoke looks here)

  I opened the ceremony with my opening smudging prayer and asked for protection and cleansing during my time purging. Once I had the candle lit as well as smudged my circle I was ready to read off my intent and set it to flame to let go of any stuff and thangs, that were negative in 2013, that no longer suits and supports my needs. Once I read this out loud I set the intent on fire, purged and let it burn out clearing me from any old negative energy that may have been lurking. 

(Purging Ceremony, intent being burned)

It was very powerful for me and I felt the negativity, that no matter how hard we try to let go of can still hold on to us, dissolve and disappear. It was very releasing. The act of lighting to flame all that you don't want to take with you into this New Year; the symbolism of burning away and not having the bad parts of the years past, join us in our present. Is very powerful indeed. 

Once I was done and purged, I closed the ceremony with the closing prayer and ended the ceremony with toasting to the New Year. Oh what, a Spiritual and Zenful Journey it was.

(Cheers to a Positive New Year filled with New Hopes, New Dreams, Good Health, Love, Laughter & Great Energy!) 

And folks that was my Zenful New Year Purging Ceremony. This can be done at any time of course. For me personally is more powerful when done during an important time, i.e., New Years Eve, New and or Full Moons. But again, it can be done at any time. As long as it feels right to you in your own heart, then its the right time. I hope you have enjoyed my purging experience. If you have any questions please send me a message and I will be more than happy to chat with you more about this wonderful experience. Lets begin our smudging prayer to release us from any negativity and recharge us for the week ahead. 

Before I begin, is there anything that you may want to bring to the forefront so that I may be able to help smudge it away from you? Whether its work, family and or friend issues? Lets bring them forward with our minds eye, and lets smudge it all away, only opening us up for positive energy.

Opening smudge prayer:

I'd like to ask The Lord our Father as well The Universe to be here with us today as I smudge & 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. 

Please see the sage smoke carry away all your worries 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......

Closing smudge prayer

I'd like to thank you Lord and the Universe for giving me opportunity to share my Zenful experience with others. 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.

Blessed Be,

A. Reyes.
