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. 

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. (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.

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 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……..

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.

Amen
