UPON WAKING RITUAL
Let your breath spirit wake your body with each rise and fall of your tummy - lay a hand across
your navel & feel the motion of your muscles as you breath.
Open your eyes & exhale. Move
your body softy - wiggle toes and fingers, rock back across your spine, peel your shoulders
away from your heart. Hold on to the ephemera of dream - take notes.
Get up.
Put on something soft, warm, something to hold the fire in your heart. Face the sun wherever she rises.
Reach up to the sky, say hello, say hello to yourself and the world. Reach down to the earth, say
hello, say hello to yourself and the world. Curve your hips into infinity, say hello, say hello to
yourself and the world. Touch your heart as a prayer, a cross, a circle, say hello. Invite in your
helpers - your Elevated Ancestors, your Angels, your Higher Self, friendly spirits and guides -
invite them into your life and say hello, good morning, thank you. Go into the room where you
make food and drink - make your morning warming drink* - this may be coffee, tea, bone broth,
warm water.
*if you are making a warm coffee or tea, add cinnamon (of Fire & Sun) for good luck and
protection, add ginger (of Fire & Mars) for heat & success, add hazelnut (of Air & Mercury) for
wisdom, vanilla (of Water & Venus) for love, add lavender (of Air & Mercury) for heart healing &
quick wisdom.
Take a moment or five to settle on an intention for your day. Before drinking, take a single spoon
and stir clockwise while asking your spiritual helpers for their blessing - SPEAK your intention
into the world. SPEAK gratitude for all you have. SPEAK love for their help, protection, blessing.
Exhale. Drink slowly, with intention. Move into the day.

FIRE FINDS A WAY
To help remove unwanted energies from your vibes
Supplies: whole bay leaves, black marker, paper, black or white tea lights (one of each, two of
the same), last quarter moon sky, a lighter or match, warm socks, cold air, a collection bowl,
cold clear water in a clear glass
If you can, do this ritual outside where the air moves. If you cannot, open a window or three.
In a space near the windows or in the open air, sit with your supplies in front of you within easy
reach. Set one candle near the glass of water - take a breath or five to settle into flow. Light the
candle and invite in all your spiritual helpers who would like to help with removing. Say thank
you to the clear clean water and offer it to your helpers - you may hold the glass in your hand
and SPEAK your offering, you may set the glass on your altar and SPEAK your offering, trust
yourself. Gaze at the flame as long as your animal body wants or needs. When you are ready,
say thank you to the bay leaves for helping you and write what you would like to release on the
bay leaf (leaves) with the black marker. Light the second candle - ask the flame to help you
remove the unwanted energy. Listen. Say thank you. Hold the collection bowl in one hand and a
single bay leaf in the other. Pass the bay leaf through the flame & SPEAK “Fire always finds a
way”. HOLD the burning bay leaf over the collection bowl to catch the ash as it burns. Please,
don’t burn yourself. Do this as many times as you need. Collect the ash. Say thank you to the
bay for helping you. Say thank you to the flame for helping you. Disperse the ash into the wind
and say thank you to the wind for taking what you no longer need away from you. Say thank you
to the earth for absorbing the ash and creating new life. Say thank you to your helpers. Let the
candles burn out (if you can). Ask your helpers where to disperse the water - you may be asked
to leave it on the altar, pour into the earth or a potted plant, take a sip. Open to the messages
your helpers have for you and trust.
