April Showers Bring May Flowers

Good Day, My Zenful readers, how are you this Sunday Smudge Day? I hope you had a positive week with your family. On my end my kiddies had April vacation "week" off, aka spring break, which I too, took off from work. Crazy to believe that in two months they will have finished yet another school year. Their journeys are definitely coasting. Good times for them. I enjoyed my week away from work. It was much needed and appreciated. My minion and I worked on our mini garden this week as well as headed to the movies to see Rio 2 with friends, good movie btw. All in all we had a pleasant week of recharging our human batteries. Now to begin this back to work and school week. I am sure despite the grunts of waking up early and going back the early wake ups, it'll be a positive one for sure. ~~We drinking water as I begin, this weeks entry?

I have been noticing as of late, and liking a lot of these positive posts I have read. I will soon be share with you. These have constantly called to me in some form or way in my journey. And I am certain you too will enjoy them. 

I am the gardener of my life. (as its been said, in another recent post I read) I believe this to be true. We often tend to leave flowers that have grown in our garden despite the bloom are not flowers at all. But they are in fact weeds that eventually take over our lovely garden. I have always removed what wasn't positive so my garden doesn't stop short of growing in its full potential. For this my garden is small, strong, and filled with the most beautiful of scents. I can't state the following enough. When you surround yourself with positive people, you will see such beauty and positive things around you. This beauty and positiveness will grow in abundance in your own garden. If you surround yourself with negativity then, that's what will also surround you. So your garden of life is shaded, so no new real growth really happens. Why would you want less in your life. Why wouldn't you want more...more happiness and a wonderful feeling inside you everyday, even if things don't go the way we'd like. Our garden still blooms. We must find a way to stay positive. Of course there will be times when some folks energies can't be lifted. Their issues are too big for us to try to help. And that's okay, that's their journey not ours. Sorry, but for me, if one isn't trying to better themselves why be around the constant negativity. Its just darkening your aura, your energy,....your garden. 

I want bloom in my garden/life. I love my self that much to want it. Life can shake us up and screw us over but then we see the bright sunlight that shines on this one rose. And we can slowly see that rose stand taller and taller, as if by magic. That magic simple and true is that of self love and surrounding yourself to share in that love within with like minded people. You will soon see that those areas where once seeds grew have now been replaced by not only roses but lavender, lilies, lilacs, daisys, and sunflowers. 

Please check out these positive posts that say it all then we can begin smudging!!

~Focus on the candles, and your breathing. Then go to your happy place where ever that may be. Breath in the bad so you may release it, on your exhale. 

Opening smudge prayer 

I'd like to ask The Lord our Father as well as The Universe to be here with us today on this Sunday as I smudge & cleanse each of those that are reading. 

I'd like to invite my ancestors, so they too may join us. I'd like to call on the elements; earth, water, air, & fire to surround us with their energy. 

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 need, of our healing, of our need of protection, guide us in our revelations, and help us with our wisdom that all choices are wise ones. 

Please let us ALL have a drama free and great work week ahead. Let our kids have a wonderful and negative free 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. 

Let what we can not change go, so we may rid us of any negativity and give us space for the positive that is waiting for us all. 

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, as well as those reading today for giving me the opportunity to share my Zenful experience.

I want to thank my ancestors for being present. I'd like to also, thank the elements earth, water, air, and 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 sweetgrass I surround you all with positive, healing, protective and loving energies. See y'all next Sunday. :)

~ Blessed Be
