July Ritual of Freedom

2/7/2015

1 Comment

 
In July, when we celebrate freedom, it is a good time to participate in a ritual, which expands the freedom we feel as we release ourselves from self-imposed habits. This ritual can be done with a leader guiding the participants through the following process, or it can be done by an individual as a body prayer.
Picture
Go to a favorite place in nature and feel the energy of the place. Sit on the ground. Imagine that your feet and hips have roots that grow down into the earth and your head opens to the sky with tendrils of silver branches and leaves emerging and reaching toward the sun’s rays. Know that you are the connection between heaven and earth and that the wisdom and gifts of both realms are open to you.

Repeat: I am free in my mind.
        I am free in my affairs.
        I am free in my body.

If you are like most of us, what comes up in your awareness is where you do not feel free, when you claim freedom. Bring this picture or feeling of bondage, constraint, or limitation clearly into your awareness. Rather than trying to logically tell yourself that this image has no power over you, simply view the scene or feel the feeling and then let it dissipate or dissolve into nothingness. Shake your hands as if you were shaking off a substance you do not want. Do this process several times. First repeat the statements, then observe your mind, then let the image or feeling dissipate. Shake your hands.


Picture
Repeat: I am free to create.
         I am free to be happy.
         I am free to accomplish good.

As any picture or feeling of creation, happiness, or goodness comes into your awareness, say to yourself, “I am free to accept this or greater.” If an argument or limiting thought comes into your mind, go back to the previous part of the meditation. As images, which appeal to you, come into your awareness, make sweeping motions with your hands and arms, bringing the gifts into your heart. Have a notebook and writing instrument ready to capture any vision that tickles your fancy.

Remember you are an unrepeatable miracle, capable of the most amazing things. You are here for a shining purpose that only you can accomplish, which is for the great good of all. You are a blessing to the world.
