Greetings from sunny Southern California!

Glad to be back to Laguna Beach for a short visit after an incredibly powerful time in Alberta, Canada. I enjoyed the contacts with everyone in Edmonton, Nanton, and Calgary. Thanks to all of you for being so gracious and welcoming, with a special thanks to Hannah in Edmonton and Linda in Nanton for organizing the workshops and private consultations. The healing that took place was nothing short of miraculous! Needless to say I'll be back! 

Now it's on to New England for a few stops this coming week. As always, thank you for your interest and support and I trust you enjoy the newsletter.

Blessings,

Steven

Blessing Ceremonies for Earth Mother

 

(from Earth Magic: Ancient Shamanic Wisdom for Healing Yourself, Others, and the Planet by Dr. Steven Farmer) 

The purpose of a blessing ceremony is to offer your love and gratitude in a focused way. You can do this by yourself anytime you choose, or you can do this with friends and family members. These kinds of ceremonies, like all sacred ceremonies, have intention as their most important ingredient. Sometimes the simplicity of a ceremony is the most elegant and powerful way of offering a blessing to our Earth Mother. 

*** Blessing the land. Ask your spirit helpers to work with you on this one, especially your spirit animals. This can be done alone or with others and is a great blessing to do with the land on which you live. You can do this using a rattle or simply with your hands. If you use a rattle, rattle all around the property or area you're blessing.

To start, stand in one place and simply observe the land. Feel the ground beneath your feet; and notice the colors, sounds, and the weather. Acknowledge how it feels to just stand and breathe the air outdoors on this particular piece of ground. Say prayers to thank Earth Mother and all of the beings who share this land, including the bugs, plants, animals, and of course, humans. Then slowly walk around, noticing whatever else you might see, hands just out in front of you, palms down. As you're wandering, continue whispering your prayers of gratitude and blessing. Let the power of Spirit move through your hands and into the land. If you have a rattle with you, gently shake it as you walk.

Take your time in doing this and enjoy it. By offering your blessings in this way, you're also clearing the land. Another option with a larger group is to create a circle, open with a prayer, and then invite any others in the circle to spontaneously offer their prayers. Once this is complete, everyone can walk around the land in the manner described, similar to the spontaneous blessing I led for my friends.  

*** Earth-healing ceremony. You can bring a group of people together for this ceremony, ideally somewhere outside, anywhere from just a few individuals to a larger group. Have everyone stand in a circle. If appropriate, you may do some soft drumming, either just yourself or with others who have drums or rattles joining you. The rhythm should be about one beat per second with a soft beat. It's a good way to bring the group together. Do this for a few minutes, and then put the instruments aside.

      Allow a few moments of silence before the next step. Then join hands, and as the facilitator, ask everyone to focus on their love for Earth Mother. Say the following prayer: 


When the prayer is complete, ask everyone to turn around so they're facing outward from the circle. Then everyone raises their arms up, palms outward, and sends their love for Earth Mother and all her children through their hands. Do this for a few minutes, then have everyone relax their hands. Close the ceremony by simply saying, "Thank you, Great Spirit. Thank you, Earth Mother. It is so!"

 

Thank you so much for your continued support.
