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.

Lie comfortably on your bed or couch,

with a pillow to prop your head and shoulders slightly.

relax with each breathe,

starting with your toes.

With each breathe out,

the relaxation climbs

throughout your body

Continue your breathing,

and visualize a dark blue Night sky

You are surrounded by the tall Trees of the woods,

breathe in their Scent and

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

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,

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.

March FuLL moOn ~ Notions, Potions, & a bit of Magic with Whale

 seaman's drawing sperm whale circa 1810


 Notion: 
*************
Now that we've awoken from the Wynter sSLeeP,
and had a little bit of Fun`tyme Fun`tyme to reJuVeNate,
it's time for a little Fine Tuning.

Whale reintroduces us to our creative and intuitive energies
to show us a talent we've forgotten about
or haven't been aware existed.
Whales energy helps you to  understand
the ancient language of "energy vibrations,"
and are able to distinguish
where others are truly coming from.
Gut Intuition.

Whale asks us to recall our past
 and listen to its stories
so we can creatively heal old wounds.

 Potion:
*************
*a handfulle of Sea SaLt
*the Bath
*BLuE candles
*{any} White flowers ~ I like Magnolia
*Whale songs if possible,
if not, something slow and soothing
 *PaPer and Pen

a bit of Magic:  
*************

Work with Whale
to hone your instincts for whats best for You,

and help You to tune into the vibes
and intuitive energies that will do this.

Whale reintroduces us to our creative and intuitive energies
to show us a talent we've forgotten about or haven't been aware existed.
People with this totem are able to understand
the ancient language of "energy vibrations,"
and are able to distinguish where others are truly coming from.
Whale asks us to recall our past and listen
to its stories so we can creatively heal old wounds.

As you soak down into the Water, silently call to Whale.

Ask Whale to help show you,
 how to reconnect to your Inner Energies and intuition.
tune into the vibrations.

If the vibrations aren't right you'll know,
as you'll know when they are right.
There are uncomfortable vibes
and really groovy ones;
apply accordingly.
you know the saying...."i had a feeling."

Visualize your Self deep below in the deep Blue.

Yes, you can breathe!

Along comes Whale,
with it's slow, steady, swim;
with it's Song.
A slow, beautiful,
meditative musical of breathing;
a calling to those EnErgies
you need for Intuition and Guidance.

Tag along, hang on, and know
that Whale protects you from any harm.

Look about you.

What do you see?

 What do you hear?

Feel the powerful vibrations from WhaLe.
This is your tuning fork.

Relax and let the vibrations align
with you. If any feel uncomfortable,
breathe through it.
Your fine tuning.

Soon the vibrations stop
and a sense of peace,
yet heightened energy
fills you.

This is your Guidance,
your Intuition.

WhaLe begins to show you a piece of your History.
It could be from an Ancient Ancestor,
it could be from Your Self.
Remember so you can write it down
and see what it means later.

When it is time to say good Bye,
thank WhaLe as it swims off
and become aware of your breathing.

Concentrate on your breathing and let
each breath bring you closer to awake.

Once you are fully awake,
write down everything you can remember.
Don't forget to date it.

Take the Gifts that

WhaLe has given you

and go forth.

Allll aboard, the GrOOve~train!

February FuLL moOn ~ Notions, Potions, & a bit of Magic with OtteR

                              

Notion:

 February finds a lot of PeePs in a down home funk,

 especially if there's no significant Other.

No! No!

You really must learn to LoVe Thy Self first.

Full moOn baths are the simplest, loveliest, 

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

White is your round~all CoLoR; 

it's best for cleansing and realignment.

Pink represents LoVe;
not just LoVe for Others,
but LoVe for Our Selves also.

Honey is all kinds of LoVe
used to sweeten the pot!

{Full moon to new moon ~ waning ~ getting smaller}

 You want to make the binds and obstacles 

disappear, to shrink and fall away.

Potion

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

Pink Candle
White Candle
Roses {dried or fresh}
a spoonful of Honey
a Bath

Soft Tunes: New Agey, Nature, Harvest, 

plus a good imagination,

for You're going to play with Otter!

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

On this FuLL mOon night, 

prepare a bath.

Fill your bath with warm water, 

add the Roses and Honey
let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve.

Light the Candle{s}.

Start music.

Submerse your Self in the water.

Chill and visualize.

Steady your Breathe,
making the breathing
rhythmic and comfortably slow.
Concentrate on your breathing
and as you do,
visualize your Self
by a lake.

Otter comes to you and invites
you into the water.
There is no Fear.

Take a fun filled adventure with Otter, 

relax, and let the truth come to you.

Visualize play time with Otter.

Dashing and swirling through the Water,

floating on Your back,

sliding,

energy begets energy.

You need to become a playful child

to stop your addiction to worrying.

Worrying puts up those obstacles.

Let the Roses infuse you with LoVe
Let the Honey sweeten the energy,
both inwardly and outwardly.

You can then visualize all this energy

into actual energy 

to accomplish your goals.

Otter also helps you see truth.

Be Honest with your Self

and many obstacles have a way
of working them Selves out.

Being serious doesn't mean letting go of the fun.

Being wise knows when you need to have fun. 

Bring your play time to an end.

As you walk onto shore
Say a word of thanks, 

and put your new energy to good use.

Rinse off in cool water and feel the newness!
