Be Grateful for Family and Friends.

Hello my zenful readers and happy Smudge day to you. I hope you and yours have had a great week and that you enjoyed your weekend. Its hard to realize that we are nearly in mid November. One of my google sisters said recently, how we had, what was it then, 8 Mondays until Christmas. To have it said this way, makes me feel like, "Good Grief," CB. I know in the up and coming weeks we are all getting ready for the holidays and will be very busy. It goes without saying that it's not about the spending but more on the thought behind the gift. For me that seems to be the most precious gift of all. I know it's different in this day and age of technology but let at least one gift should be from the heart and not something that will break our banks. 

The holidays are about family and friendships. Keep them close to your heart for that IS the greatest gift. This blog won't be a long one as I've mentioned in the last week. And I won't be able to write for a few weeks what with being busy with my kids and the holidays and all. I'm also working on a side protect that has been needing my time. I will explain that as I get closer to finishing.

So I hope these few quotes will stay close to your heart and that you'll have a great week(s) ahead. Remember to also take some zen time for you. Enjoy your water and bring your gems and sage close as we get ready for some smudge time. 

Opening smudge prayer:

I'd like to ask God, as well as The Universe to be here with me today as I smudge & cleanse each of you.   

I'd like to call upon my ancestors to surround me with their love and light as I help each of you. I'd also like to call upon the elements fire, earth, air and water. I'd like to ask 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, to join us and surround us with their energy as I smudge and cleanse you today.

Please imagine the sage smoke wrapping itself around each of you and carrying all your worries away. Lets begin, close your eyes and take as many cleansing breaths as you need. Exhale and release any negative thought(s). Love and light only people!! 

When you are ready, imagine me wrapping the lit sage, using its smoke to cleanse ~Let’s begin differently, which is the proper way; I’ll begin smudging from your feet, around your legs, hips, chest, throat, forehead, and up above your head. (chakra points) As I'm smudging you, I call upon the elements to help us; the wind, will blow help your worries away, let them burn free from you with fire, soak them away with water so that the element earth may ground you.

Feel the release of this/these negative energy/ies that may have been built up from this past week. I ask those who I have called upon, The Lord, The Universe, my ancestors, the elements, the goddesses, and our archangels, to help release you from any negative thought/s that does not suit or support your needs. Remove any blockage/s that has seeped into your aura and shaken you. Take these few minutes to visualize this and clear this negativity away.....

Now, I light this cedar in the same way I did the sage, but the cedar will wrap all of your auras in a protective white light of love and happiness to keep you from harm. Close your eyes and imagine me wrapping the cedar wand starting smudging from your feet, around your legs, hips, chest, throat, forehead, and up above your head. (chakra points) When you’re ready, continue reading below to the closing prayer……..

Closing Smudge Prayer

I'd like to thank you, God and The Universe for being here with me and give me the opportunity to help those that I can. I want to thank my ancestors for being present. I'd like to also, thank the elements fire, earth, air and water 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 Father and Universe for always looking out for us and for giving us all the Blessings we have. Thank you for our yesterday, for our today and for the abundance of a wonderful week ahead.

With this Sweetgrass I light, may it surround you and yours with love and happiness always and forever.

I shall chat with you all soon. Have a Blessed few weeks my zenful readers.

Welcome November, Three times three.

Good Day and Happy Smudge day my Zenful readers. I hope you all had a pleasant, last week of October 2015. And that, you and yours had a fun and safe Halloween weekend. I hope that your first day of November is going well so far. I find it Zenful being able to start the first day of November on a Sunday. How was your Full “Hunters” Moon this past week? I had a full moon ritual, did you? I also placed my gems under the full moon’s light to recharge them. Even though we had rain clouds, I knew the moon was there. It’s hard to believe that October is over and November is upon us. My home is extra busy this month, making me extra grateful. Not only is this the month in which we give thanks for our bounty but it’s also my daughters, mine, and my sister’s birthday (in that order) thos month. Three times three. These next few months will be busy for me so I may not have time to write an entry or two. Along with sharing a few weekly quotes that caught my attention, I’d like to also share a few pictures of my daughter’s gems when I smudged her room earlier. Her birthday is this week and I wanted to get her room cleansed and get her space ready to receive this birthday with love and light.

   My daughter's gems. Hers are on the

   glass candle holder & I brought mine 

   to send her some mama loving energies.    

Let us use this time on this Zenful Sunday, the first of November, to smudge so we can start off this new month in a positive light. Once you all are ready and have your water and prayer/smudge area ready you can begin with the smudging below.

Opening smudge prayer:

I'd like to ask God, as well as The Universe to be here with me today as I smudge & cleanse each of you.   I'd like to call upon my ancestors to surround me with their love and light as I help each of you.

Elemental Zenful Journey.

Good day my zenful friends. How are you and your families this past week? I hope you all have had a positive week. But if your week was a bit negative or if it was a challenging one I hope today’s smudging will help you release and cleanse away that negative energy from the past week, to help begin a positive week. I have had my element, water help me these past weeks. I have been incorporating my astral element into my cleansing. Yes, I smudge but I also have been adding water's energy in Zen time. What I mean by that is, keeping the few water gems I have close. And also, for me, this is something major, when one takes a shower imagine that the soap is also cleaning away your day's energy. Cleaning away, your energy that you've shared with others; school, work, appointments, etc. For me when I have gone to the few homes I have smudged, I have always asked them to please clean your home and even shower, and drink water before I arrive to begin smudging. As you clean your home and shower, imagine you are cleaning and washing away the negative energy from that day, week, experience.

When you drink water, imagine the element cleansing you from what you want smudged. So when we are here, and I ask you guys to grab your water before we begin, this is why. For me the water is cleansing and it aides in the smudging and the healing, to help cleanse the negative energy. Try to bring your astral element closer to you. Maybe even with today’s blog or for the Full Moon this coming Tuesday. Maybe add your element during your Halloween Ceremony. First make sure, you clean your home and that you showered/aura cleansed before you begin. 

Bring your element around you. Fire, light a candle; Air, focus on the air you breathe (if you can't get out); Water, keep water close or visit an area where there's a body of water. I personally have a crystal glass that I use, my bestie suggested I add crystals in the water which, (wicked great idea, and did just that. You'll see the pictures below. I can’t tell you how instant the energy changed great stuff); Earth, I use the herb bundles that I use for smudging to represent earth but of course it goes without saying be one with nature. 

The Elements. Earth, Fire, Water, Air.

Go to your happy place and get comfy and use today’s blog to help guide you. Take these few “Zenful moments” to help recharge you for a great week ahead. Below I have added an astral chart so you can see what element your birthday falls under. I have also added a few quotes that called to me and I feel you would enjoy.

(All chakra points) As I'm smudging you, I call upon the elements to help us; the wind, will blow help your worries away, let them burn free from you with fire, soak them away with water so that the element earth may ground you.

Remove any blockage/s that has seeped into your aura and shaken you. Take these few minutes to visualize this and clear this negativity away from your feet, up towards your legs, up and around your waist, tummy, chest throat and forehead and above and away from your crown chakra; you're head..... 

Sit for a moment enjoying the release. As I finish this blog on this Sunday morning it is raining and dark. Having my window open hearing the urban traffic and the sound of rain, I share my morning rain with you. I share, my astral energy, water. May it help cleanse away this past week's negative energy or anything that needs releasing. Thank your God and thank you universe and of course thank water for being here on this Sunday Smudge Day and Blessing me with your energy. For your use to our everyday living cooking, eating washing etc. I thank you.

Now, I light this cedar in the same way I did the sage, the cedar will wrap all of your auras in a protective white light of love and happiness to keep you from harm. 

Close your eyes and imagine me wrapping the cedar wand around you; starting from your feet, up around your legs, hips, chest, throat, forehead, and up above your head. (chakra points) When you’re ready, continue reading below to the closing prayer……..

Stillness and Silence is Truly Golden.

Good day my Zenful readers. How are you all doing and feeling today? I hope you all had a great week and that you and your families are all well. Anything exciting happen? Were you able to apply the "Secret" readings to your day? Have you seen a change? I hope you have. Its healthy and important to our every day. I had a very good week. And yes I applied the Secret's readings to my own day to day. =) Thus, me having a good week. It is, getting chillier and chillier here in Boston. Even now we are under a freeze warning until tomorrow. Father winter is acoming!! But hey, its to be expected especially for where I live. 

As the busy work week flowed by, I noticed that there’s nothing more Zenful than being alone and quiet in your own space. And how thankful that I have two days off during the weekend to enjoy some Zenful time. Thinking of the weekend and being home and cuddled in against the first seasons winter frost warning we are under, such zenful feelings and thoughts. I use to think that it wasn’t healthy to be alone. But in all honesty its unhealthy to consistently surround yourself with other’s energy that suck your own. We need time to recharge. If we can learn to be okay with our own solitude, then we can grow and be better for ourselves and others. I personally feel that we need this. To have solitude and recharge our bodies, minds and spirits, is healthy. And I am doing just that. Enjoying my quiet, peace and be content within, as I recharge my energy. 

What do you do to recharge yourself from the worlds static? As I've mentioned before I have asked a few family members and a few close friends turned family, if they could send me some elemental gifts or something that represents who they are. My idea is to add these items so I may add these magical gifts to my Zenful prayer table. I truly feel that when you receive gifts with love and good intent behind them, that is the purest of magics. I believe having special items accompany your Zenful journey adds a positive energy to all you do. I mean you're being surrounded by love and light, what else is there? Let's get ready for some smudge time so we can enjoy can continue to recharge and enjoy our Zenful afternoon. Grab your drink of waters and gems and or sage so we can get ready for some weekly cleansing. I hope you enjoy the following quotes I searched for today's blog, as I did. 

Opening smudge prayer:

I'd like to ask God, as well as The Universe to be here with me today as I smudge & cleanse each of you.   

I'd like to call upon my ancestors to surround me with their love and light as I help each of you. I'd also like to call upon the elements fire, earth, air and water.

Please imagine the sage smoke wrapping itself around each of you and carrying all your worries away. Lets begin, close your eyes and take as many cleansing breaths as you need. Exhale and release any negative thought(s). Love and light only people!! 

When you are ready, imagine me wrapping the lit sage, using its smoke to cleanse you. I begin from above your head, (chakra points) forehead, throat, heart, tummy, hip area, and down your legs to your feet. As I'm smudging you, I call upon the elements to help us; the wind, will blow your worries away, let them burn free from you with fire, soak them away with water so that the element earth may ground you.

Feel the release of this/these negative energy/ies that may have been built up from this past week.
