Healing, when passion creates a prison!

Many of us without realizing it have had past relationships that have left a residue that can be unhealthy or counter productive to our continued spiritual growth.

Each intimate encounter with another person creates a harmonic or resonance on many different levels -- the auras connect, the souls connect, the spirit connects as the body and mind connect. Many of these encounters are wonderful and are to be cherished, but others can be destructive and can have an impact that can follow us through our entire life.

A Simple Healing Ritual
These are a few simple steps that you can use to create your ritual for cleansing.

1) Create an atmosphere that is sensual. It is important to create a sacred space in your home, like your bedroom, that your ritual can take place.  Creating atmosphere requires involving as many senses as possible to create a body mind spirit connection. Lighting should be conducive to relaxation. Decoration should be conducive to a spiritual state. Aromatherapy techniques should be involved to create an increased sensitivity (This would include incense, perfumes, oils, preparatory baths before ritual, scented candles and so forth).

2) Decide and plan your ritual and write out your intent for the ritual. A ritual must become repetitive to work so you may create a journal for your rituals.  You may call it what every you want . Keep a diary of your rituals, your intent, your decor, your response after the ritual. Don’t feel foolish, most of us feel uncomfortable when we first attempt self designed ritual. The new is scary but it can also be exciting.

3) Before you begin your ritual place the three new candles in a triangle.  You can choose an incense which reflects this loving energy next to the candles. You can include some flowers or other symbols that will help you focus on the healing process.  You can also play some soft music in the background.

4)  A ritual for sexual healing:

“I (your name) evoke the power of love and healing into my body, mind, spirit and soul. I call upon the innocent child within me to be brought forth in total safety and protection. I affirm my oneness with the universal spirit and know that all that I ask in this moment of love and healing will be manifest for the good of all concerned. I now call for and accept my spiritual sexual healing. All negative energy connections that have been created since the moment of my first sexual encounter are now cut and forever and ever transmuted to positive energy. All positive energy connections that I have been created since my first sexual encounter are now strengthened and blessed with even greater love and appreciation. From this moment forth, I express my sexuality as a manifestation of divine love and caring. I attract to me only those people (or that mate) who manifest this divine communion. I sacrifice and make sacred all negative fears concerning my sexuality and it's manifestation into this reality and release all to the divine consciousness to manifest my healing and continued growth as a loving and caring person.”

5) Draw a bath and cleanse yourself using pure water with no soap or essence at all. You can use soap when you are done. Make sure to attend to the cleanliness and the visualizations that evoke memories (imagined or real) of a sweet loving innocent childhood.

6) When you are in your ideal environment say: “I affirm love and purity. Light a black or dark  candle and as you light it say: “I affirm release and transmutation of all negative energy.”

Let images of light fill your being. Do this with the knowing that you are now healed. As your candle burns, allow all of your senses to be filled with the experience. The smells. The sounds. The sights. The feelings. Imagine the candle burning the dark side and giving you an aura of positive energy. Visualize yourself surrounded by pure love. Allow yourself to savor the moment until you feel comfortable and that it is time to finish your ritual.

7) To finish your ritual, Affirm this out loud: “All that I speak, think, say and desire from this experience is now manifest for the good of all concerned. Blow out your candles.”

You can cleanse yourself of all negative energy with these techniques. Recapture your energy that you have given away to others through the use of ritual.
