JuLy's FuLL moOn ~ Notions, Potions, & a bit of Magic with Salmon



Notions:

*************

Salmon ~ 

creating Harmony

with your Enviroment.

Last time, we cleansed our Chakras.

This time we are going to clean our Homes.

There is nothing more comforting than

coming home to a clean house

especially after a long day, long vacation,

or long journey.

Give your House a good cleaning.

Take a good cleansing bath for your Self.

Visualize the dirt and grime

washing away, both inner and outer.

Wear comfortable clothing.

Open all your windows

doors

cabinets

closets

Potions:

Light your candles

Start your music

Fire up your smudge stick.

These can get going pretty hot and heavy

so be verra careful!

Make sure you have a plate or bowl with you to catch the ashes

and then begin in what you consider your furthermost

 room from your front door.

Slowly walk in a circle around the whole room

Gently blow the smudge stick to puff up the smoke,

gently blow the smoke into closets and such...

In bedrooms, don't forget under the bed

and

in the bathrooms, don't forget the showers!

As you are smudging

it is helpful to chant, pray, sing, hum,

something positive.

"You can see clearly now the rain is gone..."

"Fire and smoke rising in the air,

negativity and evil you need beware.

For in this place you cannot be

for it is now cleansed and holy"

The smoke will be heavy,

don't worry.

Start at the doorway, 

walk around the room, from corner to corner

and move on to the next one.

Do each and every room like that.

We have an attic fan and I even utilize that

{verra verra carefully! watch the embers}

to smudge my attic!

You can customize your energy/chant for each room.

Bedroom for restful peaceful sleep or

love and passion {or both!}

Kitchen for great food and family friends gatherings.

As long as your words cleanse the negativity 

and then puts in the good energy!

I finish at my main doorway

blessing the doorway

 that only good positive energy may enter

and that those who pass through here may be safe.

I then set my smudge stick in it's pot and leave it

outside by the main door to burn its self out.

a bit of magic:

Salmon strive to return home after a long journey. Salmon people are home-loving, giving and sensitive. They are also very imaginative and sometimes moody. Their goal in life is to live in harmony with the environment.

A good house cleansing will help you become focused, intuitive and wholly creative. When your home and self are cleansed you can feel the electric vibes clearly.

Use your white candle{s}

and soothing or nature music.

Rinse off and dry.

Light the Blue Candles and

start your Nature Music.

Lie comfortably on your bed or couch,

with a pillow to prop your head and shoulders slightly.

Breathe slow and steady and deep;

relax with each breathe,

starting with your toes.

With each breathe out,

the relaxation climbs

throughout your body

til you reach the top of your Head.

Like filling a pitcher with Milk.

Continue your breathing,

and visualize a dark blue Night sky

opening up above you.

You are surrounded by the tall Trees of the woods,

breathe in their Scent and

relax even further.

You soon hear the call of the Eagle

and as it becomes louder,

you see Eagle fly above you.

Eagle comes and lands beside you.

He hands you one of his feathers

and as you take hold of it,

you both start to ascend to

the Night Sky.

There is no fear or anxiety.

Just remember, you are Safe.

As you fly higher among the Stars,

soon you notice that the they

are changing CoLoRs.

They begin to ShiMMer,

and Blink.

You can feel the Energy.

Eagle is right there with you,

guiding you, flying with you.

Remember to keep breathing,

steady and slow.

Slowly they change to the color, Red.

As you fly through the Red Stars,

let the color wash over you,

let the color Red fill you up,

and let it cleanse and reenergize

your RooT Chakra.

Slowly the Stars change to the color, Orange.

As you fly through the Orange Stars,

let the color wash over you,

let the color Orange fill you up,

let it cleanse and reenergize

your Splenic Chakra.

Next, the Stars slowly change to the color YeLLow.

As you fly through the YeLLow Stars,

let the color wash over you,

let the color YeLLow fill you up,

and let it cleanse and reenergize

your SoLaR PleXius Chakra.

As you fly through the InDigo Stars,

let the color wash over you,

let the color InDigo fill you up,

and let it cleanse and reenergize

your CroWn Chakra.

Feel the EnErgy

as all the Stars begin to

shimmer and blink

all the colors.

One last time the STars change,

back to White.

As Eagle guides you back through

the Stars, let the White pure energy

connect you with Eagles magic.

The Eagle has landed!

You are back on land,

fully cleansed,

recharged,

and keen to get started.

Give thanks to Eagle.

Begin to pay attention to your breathing,

and as you breahte in and out,

bring your Self back to awareness.

Eagle shows us that PeePs with high ideals

need to be able to spread their wings

so they can reach those Stars, or Goals.

As long as we follow our Intuition

we will be heading in the right direction.

Let Eagle energy be your Guide,

your connector between

your Intuition and your Physical Self.

These meditations are not just for Full Moon.
They can be done anytime you need or feel like doing them.

January FuLL moOn ~ Notions, Potions, & a bit of Magic with Bear

Notion:

January sees PeoPLe setting

restriction and guilt inspired resolutions

that bind Us through the year.

This is the perfect time to ease

those prisonal vibes,
get out the CaVe,

set realistic goals

and have some Fun

along with the Responsibility.

Bear teaches us to respect
our natural hibernation cycles.

Just as Bear rests during Wynter

 and reawakens during Spring,

we need spaces of Rest and Rejuvenation.

Now is the time to Rejuvenate.

Bear calls us to awaken the potential

within ourselves and
the power of our unconscious mind.

Bear reminds us there is a time

for playfulness and a time to be assertive.

Full moOn baths are the simplest, loveliest, 

and round~all way to work a bit of Magic.

White is your round~all CoLoR 

and is best for cleansing and realignment.

Full moon to new moon ~ waning ~ getting smaller}

 You want to make the binds and obstacles 

disappear, to shrink and fall away, allowing
the Energy to flow freely.

Potion

*************

Sea Salt

White Candle{s}

draw a Bath

Soft Tunes: New Agey, Nature, Harvest, etc.

plus a good imagination,

your going to visit Bear.

a bit of Magic:
*************

On this FuLL mOon night, 

prepare a cleansing Salt bath.

Fill your bath with warm water, 

and sprinkle 1/2 cup Sea Salt,

swish to dissolve.

Light the Candle{s}.

Start music.

As you relax, slow your breathing
to nice steady pace.
You want to go through
the MediTaTion
with the similar pace of
reading a book to a child.

Visualize your Self in a CaVe.
Next to you is Sleeping Bear

It's dark, and quiet,
no fear,
just the steady breathing of YoU and BeAr.

One by one,
Candles light throughout the CaVe.
The soft scent of Honey is in the air
as the Candles burn.
Slowly, Bear rouses and awakens.

There is no fear.

as Bear awakens,
feel the rejuvenating
EnErgy as you bond.

Hear the Music.

Bear gets up and begins to Dance.
You dance with him/her.

Feel the joy and let this energy
banish the Wyntery Doldrums
and tiredness,
let it kick start your
Mind and Heart and Soul.

Wind down the dancing,
and sit with Bear a moment.
Now is the to let that energy
shine through
and iLLuMiNaTe your way.

Set your goal or goals
and know that with BeArs help
you can attain your goal
with hard work and responsibility,
like a BeAr who works at getting Honey.
By knowing when to move forward and when to rest.
They are both essential in desires coming to fruition.

Meditation

 Life is stressful.

Holidays can be stressful.

What the hell?

How can I be a great Hostess with the Freshy Fresh Most~esst

if I'm StReSSed?!

Back in my late 20's, I grooved a magic carpet ride through the New Age movement.

It was what I had been looking for.

The best part was getting into Meditation.

For Someone who constantly was referred to as a vibrating ball of energy

{not always in a kind way either!}

it was Heavenly.

Dad always said if I didn't learn to relax, 

I was gonna have a heart attack by 30.

THANKFULLY! that did not happen.

Cause I learned to relax.

I loved the Peace and Balance and Serenity,

the clearing of the Fog,

the healthy Health

It was Amazing.

We had a meditation group that met, I kid you not,

every Wednesday for about 3 years.

Unfortunately, but realistically, it came to an end. 

People moved on, and the People who moved in, 

were more for the want to say Oh Yeah, I meditate. 

Their energy sucked!

Over the years I drifted away from it and now, 

10 years later, find My Self yearning for it.

I have a couple of guided meditations, that are pretty decent. 

I wish I still had my old one. 

It was Fantastic.

For the new year, I want to get back into Meditation.

Its time.

 Time to get focused and quit being a Sugar Cube melting in the Rain.

So I'm dusting off the cd,

Lighting Candles, Incense,

and  TriPPing the Rift...
