No Judgments PleaseDistant Healing (for Shamans)
2008-02-21
Note: this ritual is an action whose end result affects another. Please make sure the recipient of these healing energies actually wants them.
Special Tools:
- Three white candles
- A picture of the recipient (If you don't have one, write the recipient's name and birth date on a piece of paper, and visualize him/her)
- A quartz crystal (optional)
- Rose, Eucalyptus, Gardenia or Peppermint incense, for healing
The Irish Goddess Brigid is a healing Goddess, as is the Sumerian Goddess Nanna. You can invoke Her with either of these names before this rite for extra healing power. If you are a practicing Christian as well as Shaman then you can invoke your own God. **
The Ritual
Light the candles in a semi-circle in front of you.
Place the incense off to one side, and place the picture inside the semi-circle, facing you, with the crystal on it.
Breathe deeply to center and then raise energy however works best for you - chanting, singing, drumming, dancing, whatever
When you have reached your peak energy, direct it to the picture or the piece of paper. I find it helpful to direct the energy through my fingertips, visualizing a healing blue-white light streaming through me and into the recipient.
Directing it through a piece of quartz enhances the distance the energy can travel.
Visualize the candles forming a protective ring of fire around the recipient, blocking all harm and pain.
Visualize the healing light coming through you and finding the source of the illness or pain in the recipient, coating it, relieving the pain and filling the recipient with energy and life.
You probably will be very tired after this, so eat a piece of fruit or bread and drink some juice to ground and revive yourself.
Thank the Goddess or your God, if you invoked Her or him.
It is done.
(**Note: For those who do not believe that Christianity and Shamanism can co-exist peacefully together, You are incorrect. Because Shamanism is about Healing and one's own beliefs in how they are learning or being taught to go about this Path is a personal one. I want to stress it here because a friend of mine is a Christian and is becoming Shaman as well. He is a natural born healer and empath and just because He believes in one God instead of the Pantheon that I do; makes no difference. We are both studying Shamanism, and healing and the tools needed to be a well rounded Shaman. The group that is working with us, has Christians, Druids, Neo-Pagans, Wiccans, Zen-Buddhists, Hopi, Cherokee, and several other religious Paths. What we all have in common is that we come together to learn about different types of Shamanism and how they will begin to fit into our own lives so that we may help heal those around us as well as the world in which we live. **)
