Track 1 Preparation

I’m Vicki  Rebecca and I’d like to guide you in a ritual to purify and renew ourselves by releasing the sadness, fears and pains from our lives,

enhance our external physical manifestations and thus celebrate the joy, warmth and

laughter of summer, connection with the divine and sense of being “One with ALL”

So to prepare for this ritual to assist us attain our heart's desires make a list of the things you want to renew, manifest, enhance, or release in or from your life and place it under a candle of your choice.

 

Track 2

The beginning of summer represents a time for purification, renewal of the self, a time to release the sadness, fears and pains from your life; a time for purification and renewed energy – Chi Gung Exercise….
Cleanse your space and yourselves with herbs, incense and healings…

Then before we begin ensure that you can be completely comfortable for the duration of the journey, and that there won’t be any distractions.

Track 3

”As in ancient times the Summer Solstice is considered a time of fullness of life, worldly blessings and celebration, so we’re here to celebrate the joy, warmth and laughter of summer. The beginning of summer represents a time for purification, renewal of the self, a time to release the sadness, fears and pains from your life; a time for purification and renewed energy, the purpose of this ritual is to just that and renew, release and enhance our external physical manifestations, i.e. financial, health, joy, faith, love, happiness, friendships, family, blessings, fun, luck, fun, and abundance; a sense of being “One with ALL” and thus lay the foundation of the summer.

 

OPEN CIRCLE Settle down…let go of any trying in your body….breathe in through the top of your head and out through the soles of your feet…reconnecting with the Source of all Creation above and Mother Earth below....... leave behind any expectations… of yourself …of anybody else…or indeed the meditation … just know that it is for YOU… just for YOU

Then gently take energy from the left and generously give it through the right as we create this circle without beginning or end… watch as that circle of light becomes a cone or a pyramid of energy above and below….from your heart centre connect energetically with each and every individual in the group…you may wish to imagine a laser beam of beautiful emerald or deep pink light connecting our hearts from all directions… With the Archangels of the four directions around us…the Source of all Creation above us and Mother Earth below us we are enclosed in protected sacred space…only those beings working for our highest good and the highest good of earth and mankind can be present here… so if you so desire open to your guides, masters, saints, and your angels you may invite them to share in your experiencing this evening… pause… Know you are safe.  Know you are protected.  Know you are connected in every way and open to the love and the blessings that await you…

Let’s begin by lighting our candles …when you’ve done (Shavasanna or seated) Lie in Shavasana and bring your awareness to how you’ve placed your body on the floor…

Breathe

And be aware

Become aware of the sounds in the distance….. become aware of the most distant sounds that you can hear….Let your sense of hearing operate like a radar beam…searching out distant sounds and following them for a few seconds. Move your attention from sound to sound without attempting to identify the source. Gradually bring your attention to closer sounds…to sounds outside the room….. and then to sounds inside the room, then the sound of my voice, always come back to the sound of my voice…

Become aware of how you’ve placed your body on the mat… middle of the back of the head on the mat… shoulder blades going towards your back pockets…. legs slightly open and feet falling apart… space between the arms and the sides of the body… arms rotating outwards from the shoulder joints…palms of the hands facing upwards… eyes softly closed..

Take a couple of swallows and encourage the tongue to rest…. Release the jaw…  Release the jaw from right back where the jaw meets your ears…

Let the facial muscles hang loose…

Limp and loose

Let your scalp hang loose

Release all tension from your scalp…. in fact see if you can imagine your scalp is 2 or 3 sizes too large for you…

Breathe through your throat…

Exhale allowing your throat and neck to relax… Inhale through your throat and as you exhale radiate that relaxation from your throat, allowing your collar bones to spread outwards like the wings of a bird…. Again inhale through your throat, this time as you exhale encourage the shoulder blades to slide down your back. And once more………………….. this time let that radiating relaxation go right through your shoulder joints and right down through your arms…. Through your upper arms and elbows, lower arms and wrists, hands and fingers… right down to the very tiniest muscles at the tips of your fingers… Let all those muscles relax. Let your hands soften. Let go and feel the back of your hands heavy on the mat.

Take a deep breath… a deep breath into your chest… and as you exhale the relaxation spreads throughout your chest and back… Inhale again… and this time relax from your chest and back down through your trunk, round your waist and hips, let all your internal organs settle into your pelvic basin….. Feel your pelvis heavy on the mat.

Breathe into your spine. Exhale. Now the spine, just like your other organs, moves… moves of its own free will: independent, the spine moves with a snake-like, wave-like movement … we don’t know how it moves, but the spine moves…

Now breathe into your belly… deep into your belly … and as you exhale that nurturing essence brings sustenance and warmth, warmth which spreads down through your legs… through your upper legs and thighs, knees, lower legs ankles and feet, right down to the tiniest muscles at the end of your toes, let all those muscles relax, and feel your warm relaxed leg muscles just hanging off the bones… melting away any tensions there…softening your feet and toes. Feel the outsides of your heels lie heavy on the mat.

Pause

Solstice….sun standing still… standing still…

Nothing to do now…

Just stillness…

Letting go

Letting go in order to make space for the renewal to come…

Let go and take the purification to another level…deeper… release the sadness, fears and pains from your life… not necessarily just in this moment but from any time in your life…with the power of the soul-ar energy and all your guides and angels around you and in this loving supportive group let go what no longer serves you…. breathe in and absorb the energy of the sun and let go…

And as we let go so we create space for our renewal, create space to get on with and enjoy life, to reaffirm our life purposes, renew, repair and enhance!

At this moment… at this point in the soul-ar year it’s time to complete external physical manifestation…. all energies are here to assist you…all the guidance you need…. the heavens are lined up to assist you in exerting your will. Your will to manifest for the highest good…

What do you manifest this summer… what do you will as the Sun as it exerts its' maximum power assist you right now… Pause

Feel that power now

Feel it and allow it to help you bring in that fullness of life and worldly blessings…

Let it help you complete external physical manifestation…. Pause

And as we state it in our minds so we co-create it and so it is…

So now feel the gratitude for what you have manifested…. feel it and let it flow out of you flow out to the others in the groups to beyond ….cosmos and bring that cosmic and soul-ar power back in now….

And as we go forth now as beacons of this power we see the Creator in everyone we come in contact with and recognize their divinity along with the recognition of our own self God / Goddess image.

This time of renewal also means a renewed commitment to the divine power and the divine within ourselves. … and of course a celebration, a celebration of all that is, a time to play, celebrate, have fun, party, and live in joy as we soak and bask in the sun's warmth.. Pause

Reorient

CLOSE CIRCLE Breathe & connect …..and as we gently…. 

we dedicate the good that comes from this evening for healing and the highest good of Mother Earth, of ourselves and all who come in contact with us.  So as we gently close this circle…. we thank Great Spirit; and those guides and angels who have worked with us and who are working totally for the light for being with us this evening…. May the energy that we have shared here together be with us when we’re apart… Namaste…reaffirm your grounding and protection…tuck in energetically and come back

 

We can think of the candles each day as long as any candle is still burning

 

Now gently bring yourself back into the room
