Self-Love Ritual

You can be as specific or as brief as you wish. This is your ritual. I only ask that you be extremely honest with yourself. After you’ve written all those things down, fold up the paper as thin as you can.  Be sure you have the fire-proof bowl in front of you.  Light the paper on fire.  Set it in the bowl to burn up completely. Watch it burn. Feel yourself being cleansed of all the things that once held you back. You are eliminating them now with the fire. Grab the other sheet of paper and write down the intentions, desires, and/or affirmations that express what you are going to start giving to yourself and cultivating within yourself to brighten your life.  

Fold it up and put it in front of the candle to be infused with the energy from the candle. Say another authentic prayer of love to yourself. Close your eyes and have a wonderful meditation session while you listen to your music for fifteen to twenty minutes.  Bring your hands to your chest in prayer position and say, “Thank you” or any words of gratitude. Be sure to dowse the fire before retiring for the day or evening. Throw the ashes of your burnt paper in a dumpster or trash can away from your home/property. Keep the positive paper with you at all times.   

This ritual is great to do during a New Moon or Full Moon.  Keep in mind that this ritual isn’t about making you love yourself or magically making it happen.  It’s about helping you tap into the power within you to love yourself the way you should be at all times in your life.  It’s about helping you take inventory of what is no longer working for you and allowing you the opportunity to look at what can work for you if you apply it in your daily life to show yourself love.  I hope you enjoy this ritual.  You can tweak any way you wish to suit your needs and intentions.

Peace & blessings to you.
