Your Gift | Spring Energy Clearing Ceremony from Billie Topa Tate
Cleansing and releasing ceremonies are so very important in all indigenous cultures. The knowledge that a space routinely used will contain organized patterns of thought, energy and intention has been handed down throughout the ages. We all get a little dusty from the trail and also our living spaces, our office spaces and even when we travel into hotels and other rental properties. By performing releasing ceremonies it is possible to transmute energy to a positive form, raising its vibrational level for happiness, abundance, creativity.
I suggest using cleansing and releasing ceremonies regularly just as you would routinely clean your home.
You will need…
Smudge Bowl -A container that wonderful that can withstand heat to burn the dried herbs and then extinguish them to create smoke
Smudge Stick – A smudge stick is a combination of dried herbs that native people use to cleanse an area
Rattle The rattle helps adjust the vibration and sound and is an important part of cleansing energy
The Ceremony – Begin at the entrance of the front door, light the smudge and create a loving intention for your cleansing and releasing ceremony. Center yourself your thoughts. After the dried herbs have extinguished allow for the smoke to move into the air and move the smoke with your hand or feather as if you’re dusting the room concentrating on the ceilings the walls, floors and make sure the area has your attention.
Sing your power song as you’re moving through the rooms with your intention to remove all negativity and take it to receive medical care in the spiritual world never to return and to fill the void with divine and virtuous energies. You can also use a mantra to transform energy. If you feel it’s more powerful to have music playing that can cleanse the room as you’re passing through the rooms please do so. Use the rattle as an extra cleansing to project beautiful energy as you’re projecting the energy with the rattle see beautiful flowers coming out of your hands, then sunlight, the blue sky and mountains being infused into your home. Then ask for these empowering energies to stay in your home to bless your home with divine energy.
Declare your space, this means that you have sovereignty over your space and claiming it means at the end of your ceremony you speak out loud that only virtuous energy resides in your home “I have sovereignty over my home and only virtuous energy resides in my home here now and from this day forward.“
When you are done, give thanks to your wisdom self and all the wonderful energies that are filled with divine love and divine light to remain in your beautiful home to create divine happiness and divine peace for the life of your home.
If possible after the cleansing ceremony do a energetic wipe down using non-chemical soaps to wash down areas to create a fresh wonderful environment and finally adding some essential oils like lavender in an infuser or just wiping certain areas throughout the house with the lavender. And enjoy your home. You can also use advanced information from my smudge book. Purchase Billie’s Book for deeper teachings and techniques. Such as, clearing your energy field, homes various types of smudging, such as the medicine woman smudging and different plants to use.
If you would like to have your space cleared and blessed by Billie Topa Tate you can contact her office to schedule this wonderful energetics service. The cost may vary depending upon the size of the location.
