Ritual To Heal The Earth - Thursday 13th January 2005 at 9pm

By Marie >^..^<

 

This ritual has been kept purposefully simple to allow you to

concentrate wholly on the purpose rather than trying to remember

words or which herb to add to which candle, etc.

 

You will need a photograph of the earth from space. If you don't

already possess one of these then you can find one here:

If you prefer to do this ritual by candlelight then you can place

these around the room but ensure that no candles are placed on the

altar. Do not burn incense. Have nearby a drink and a sandwich,

piece of cake, etc. There is no need to cast a circle - we are

connecting directly to Gaia.

 

Place the photograph of the earth onto your altar and sit before it

(you may find it easier to prop it up against a cauldron or candle-

holder for a better view. From the moment the ritual begins, your

eyes should not leave the photograph.

 

Place your hands on the floor (palms down) in a comfortable

position. Visualise roots growing from your hands and into the

ground. If you are in an upstairs room or flat, they will first need

to travel in the floorspace across to the wall and then down the wall

until they reach the ground. You can feel and sense the roots

pushing aside the soil, plant/tree roots, stones and rocks. They

twist and turn deep into the earth. When you feel that you've

reached the core - where it is hot & alive, stretch your roots out to

grab at it. Hold onto the core like a tree to a boulder. You are

solid. You are connected to Gaia.

 

Keep your eyes on the photograph. See the blue oceans, hear the

waves, feel the spray. You can see the pollution in the water like

black sludge. Push your energy into the earth and watch it clear.

See the ocean as clean and bright. See the dolphins and whales as

they flow past in perfect symmetry.

 

Now move to the land. See the beauty of a simple grassy field. The

green blades rippling in the breeze. A fluffy rabbit pops his head

out and, seeing you, bobs back down again. A fox stops to watch you

in interest. See the pollution as barren areas of dead plants and

animals. Push your energy into the earth and watch it clear. See

the grass even brighter and more lush than before, see a world with

no more myxematosis, no more fox-hunting, no more disease.

 

Now move to the sky. See the beauty and simplicity of a beautiful,

clear blue sky. Fluffy clouds float by in the gentle breeze, some

white, some grey, some black (these represent the pollution). Push

your energy into the earth and watch them clear. Watch the grey and

black clouds pale to a white, candyfloss-style. Breathe in the cool,

fresh breeze and feel your mouth water with its beauty.

 

Finally, pull your attention back to the hot centre of the earth.

This is Gaia, who nurture and cares for us. A loving mother who

sometimes finds it necessary to give us a good hard slap to bring us

back to our senses. She is hurting with neglect and rejection. How

could we treat our Mother so badly? Feel the love coming from her.

Feel her pain and sadness. Hug her with your roots. Let your love

and energy flow freely into her. Feel the energy flow from you in

waves, heavy at first and then slowing. You might want to use this

special, connected time to speak to her. To tell her of any feelings

or thoughts you may be having - maybe even to apologise for not being

able to do more to protect her. (No matter how good we all are at

recycling and using environmentally-friendly goods - there's always

more we can do).

 

Once you have comforted her as much as you can, draw your roots back

up through the soil and rocks. Feel them all slide back into place

as you move past them. Pull them back up through the wall/ground and

into your hands. Lift your hands from the floor and take a few

steady breaths to centre yourself.

 

Eat some food and have a drink before you stand up.

 

This can be repeated any time you wish, but I would suggest that it

is performed AT LEAST every 22nd April (Earth Day).

 

 

 

**Please be kind enough to circulate this widely to ensure that as

many people as possible participate in this ritual. **

I ended up not reading this till after 9.

It is beautiful I was almost crying when I read it.

 

We can always imagine sending Mother some

energy just through our feet when we walk upon

Her.

 

There is this beautiful chant that includes the

words:

The Earth is our Mother

We must take care of Her

 

Her sacred ground we walk upon

with every step we take

 

It is performed by this singer/healer

who just goes by the name Sophia.

It makes for excellent Reflexology

background music.
