Saying Goodbye to the last Sunday in January/New Moon

Good Day and Happy Sunday Smudge Day my Zenful Readers. How was everyone's week, how was it for your family, your kids? I hope everyone had a great week, and that you all had a pleasant weekend and are ready for the week ahead. I had a busy week at home and work. And ever since I met my animal guide last week, I am feeling different.. in a good way. Have any of you Zenful Readers met your animal guide? Its not difficult to do, to meet him or her, unless of course it isn't time for you to meet him or her. Then that will just take time. =) But when you guys meet, man what an experience. Its awesome! (Start drinking water my Zenful Readers, Sunday Smudge Day will begin soon)

    (Love this quote, so true) 

As I mentioned last week I will be adding a picture of one gemstone a week and share with you it's description. This Sunday's Gemstone is: Sodalite

Sodalite Gemstone meaning

Sodalite brings inner peace. Keep sodalite in your pockets and in every room of your house, so its peaceful properties will flow all around you.

Sodalite is a dark blue stone with white calcite interspersed. It is sometimes confused with lapis lazuli as it also has small specks of pyrite in it. The largest deposit of sodalite is in Brazil.

Sodalite is the stone of athletics, as it stimulates endurance. It is said sodalite will harmonize the inner being or the conscious and subconscious mind. Sodalite promotes peace and harmony. Sodalite is extra lucky for writers.

Healing properties of Sodalite

Sodalite is associated with the thyroid. It is perfect in a necklace. Wear it when you want to lose a few pounds. It helps in communicating and will give confidence to speak more.

She is a calming stone for sure and she has been helpful during my writings. The thyroid I am not sure since I don't use it for that, but I am sure along my journey I will find out if it has in fact helped anyone with this issue. 

I definitely need to use my gemstones more. I had a major headache over the weekend and I placed the amethyst on my forehead and could feel the pain ease, until I removed the stone, pain came back. That's how well these stones work, or at least for me they do. I should make an amethyst headband lol, for headaches. =) I hope you enjoyed viewing this week's stone. She has such great coloring, doesn't she. I enjoy having her in my collection.

And as we slowly bring this Sunday's blog to a close, I'd like to remind all of you Zenful Readers that this Thursday and is the New Moon. Are any of you doing a New Moon Ceremony this week? I am not certain if I will this week. I will definitely smudge for the New Moon...but I don't think I will do a Ceremony. I'll keep ya'll posted because I may do it for next month. It'll give me a full 30 days to decide what supplies I will need before then. Well, lets get us ready for the week ahead with some Sunday Smudging on this final Sunday of January.

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, water, air, & 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 thank the elements; earth, water air, & 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. 

With this sweet grass that I light please surround us with loving and positive energies today and always. 

~Blessed Be~
