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.
