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. 

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.

Amen.
