Spending time setting your intentions can be particularly auspicious at this time of the year. The Solstice can be likened to the new moon energies. A time of conception of new life or new way of life, an excellent time of new beginnings. When I do any ceremony’s like this I always invite in my healing team to assist. Your healing team is a combination of your guardian angels, the archangels that work closest with you, spirit guides, family and many more who are constantly with your supporting and assisting. This is very powerful to do within a group or by yourself. Some people like to light sage or incense, build a sacred crystal grid or some other sacred ritual. From my own experience all you need is time on your own in a space you feel warm, safe, and comfortable and are unlikely to be disturbed.
1. I would always advise that you do a little meditation first. Call in your healing team and then sit quietly allowing your mind to clear by breathing slowly and deeply giving yourself permission to relax and let go of anything not at peace. For those of you who work with specific archangels you could say the following aloud or in your head “Archangel Michael X3 and the angels of manifestation, I ask that you connect with me now and assist me to prepare for this sacred ceremony. I ask to be aligned to the energies I need to release anything that no longer serves me and bring in whatever new energies I need to be aligned to my highest path”. Then spend at least 10 minutes if possible in quiet meditation.
2. Then either using the other side of the page or a new page write “What I’d like to let go of”. This an excellent time to release and let go of that which no longer serves you. It could be a habit you’d like to break, a pattern you’d like to let go of, it could be an aspect of a relationship or something physical within your own body or life. It could be something so private and personal that you’ve never verbalized it before. It doesn’t matter how big or small a thing is it, what’s important is that it’s something you know deep within needs to shift in order for you to be at peace. Once again allow yourself to connect with your heart center. Whilst your writing what you’d like to let go of, allow yourself to use the words, feel the feelings and emotions of what is to be released writing them onto the page.
3. Then taking pen and paper write two headings. The first being “What I’d like to manifest into my life”. Try not to limit yourself, when you’re working with your angels there is no such thing as limitations or the impossible. When working with and through the angelic light anything and everything has potential and all possibilities are available to you. I always advise that you connect into your heart center (not the physical heart but the area in the center of the chest known as the heart chakra). Allow yourself to come from your heart center, this is especially powerful after having done a meditation. Whilst your writing what you’d like to manifest or bring into your life allow yourself to use the words, feel the feelings and emotions of what it is you’d like to bring in, writing them onto the page. Allow yourself to list off all that you wish to begin or renew in your life, do this as mindfully as possible. Use as much paper as you need for this.
4. Sometimes people find it easier to express their intentions by drawing a symbol or picture instead of writing the words, this is equally as powerful to do. Also if something is so private and personal and you don’t feel comfortable writing it down you could do this.
5. When you have finished your list there are a number of things you can do with the page. Some people like to burn the page, as the page burns they release their intentions to the angels and trust that it shall come to pass in divine timing. I like to place the paper somewhere sacred to me, dating it and placing a crystal on top of it. I’d often call in the angels again and ask that they bless my intentions. If you wanted to do this you could say the following aloud or in your mind “Archangel Michael and angels of manifestation X3, please activate this list bringing whatever healing, support and angelic light is needed to align me to my intentions for my highest good and the highest good of all”, then place your intentions somewhere safe.
Know now that from each day forward as the sun grows stronger and the days grow longer your intentions are also growing and manifesting.
