Simple Ritual for Self-Care

We all need a little time to ourself a minimum of twice a week, but every day is better, to do something we enjoy be it read a book or listen to some music. A time to disengage with the fast pace of the world around us daily. A small block of time set aside just to relax without a cell or landline phone ringing, no computer on for work or social media or whatever or having to take someone here or there. It is important to take time to devote to nurturing and caring for ourselves. Otherwise, we can become stressed to the max and overwhelmed with all we have to do on a daily basis and not be in a good place to help anyone with anything especially ourselves.

What You Will Need:

A comfy place where you will not be disturbed for 15 to 30 minutes to sit preferably with your legs up

A candle in your favorite color – (scented if you do not want to burn your favorite incense also)

Your favorite incense scent – it should burn for at least 15 minutes

Whatever your favorite drink is to relax with

A favorite lite snack

A good book or music or both or just be surrounded by silence (You may want to purchase some noise defending ear plugs if your home or neighborhood tends to be somewhat noisy) or taking a walk or sitting surrounded by nature or journaling about your day (see some journaling prompts below)

What You Should Do for Yourself:

If you are going to read or listen to your favorite type of music set up a place where you can accomplish this without someone coming to you every minute or so wanting, you for whatever reason. If you have children, I suggest setting aside your time after they are in bed for the night or between feeding for those of you with infants.

Have your beverage and snack set close at hand then snuggle into your favorite chair, corner of the couch or even on a few pillows on the floor. Get yourself into a comfortable position than relax with your book or music or both or the silence.

If you are going on a walk or sitting somewhere where you will be surrounded by nature make sure to have enough to drink with you! A snack might not be a good idea if there is wildlife around as they may bug you to share it with them. The choice of course is yup to you to take one with or not. Make sure to dress properly for the weather and carry your cellphone with to use only in case of an emergency otherwise I suggest you shut it off so the ringing or text messages can wait until you are through with your self-care time.

You can journal indoors or outdoors it comes down to where you want to do it and it feels right to you. You can use a simple spiral or composition book type notebook for journaling. There is no need to look for and buy anything expensive as the only person that will be using it and reading it is you.

A couple of  ideas for Journal Prompts:

Here are 3 questions I was given by one of my doctors to answer each night before I go to sleep (sometimes I write the answers down and sometimes I don’t)

What are 1 to 3 things I have accomplished today? (Yes, just getting up counts)

What would I like to dream about tonight?

What are 1 to 3 things I want to accomplish tomorrow?

Another thing I use for journaling is to draw 1 tarot card from whichever deck my hand stops on. Before closing my eyes to pick a deck I look away as I mix up (like playing the child’s game of Go Fish) on a tabletop one card from each deck I own than turn my head away and pick out a card. I put the rest back with the deck they belong to. Next, I take out the deck that the card I picked goes with and mix them up on a tabletop. Again, I turn my head away and pick a card at random. I will look the card up in the companion book if it has one read the card description only then close the book. I hold the card between both hands and ask my Spirit Guides what message the card has just for me. It is amazing to me what we can learn from our Spirit Guides this way.

I repeat taking self-care time is not selfish it is a necessary thing to do in our modern, busy world. Think of self-care this way you would tell a friend or love one to take some time out for themselves if they haven’t in a while or are stressed out about something…right? So, you are being your own best friend by telling yourself than taking time out for yourself. It can also help you sleep more soundly if you can do this about a half-hour before bedtime. Which in turn can make waking up and facing a new day easier also.

Prayer/Spell for Patience, Understanding Tolerance for better Acceptance and Harmony Within Yourself

You can use this two ways, one as a prayer or two as a spell to empower a black stone. I say it in my prayers every morning and also carry a stone with me anytime I know I will be in a situation that maybe stressful and/or people I will be encountering might have negative feelings or thoughts about me and/or speak nastily to or about me. In other words I carry it almost daily as I never know who or what I might encounter outside my home.

For a spell you will need:

Pocket size Black Stone (Black will draw negativity to itself before it can reach you. Cleanse the stone at least once a week using same spell you use to cleanse it the first time.)

To perform the spell:

First cleanse stone (see – How to Cleanse Objects Using the Elements)

Either in a sacred space or circle say the spell over the stone three times while either holding it in your power hand or touching it with your wand. At the end of the thrid time seal the spell with the words “So mote it be” or whatever words you use to seal your spells.

Prayer/Spell

(For prayer start with the words “Today I ask for help with…”) (For spell start with the words “I empower this stone stone with…”)

Patience, Understanding and Tolerance for better;

Acceptance of people. places. situations, attitudes, how people speak to and about me;

that I might live in better Harmony within myself, home, family, work and world.

A Simple Way to Balance or Center and Ground Yourself

A Simple Way to Balance or Center and Ground Yourself

I have been using this method on and off for many years. I had stopped when I had minor knee surgery in November 2018 and the place I was working closed their doors for good on December 20, 2018, not because they wanted to but because the bank that had foreclosed on the strip mall it was located in decided after 7 years to kick all the businesses still operating out and being a small restaurant the funds needed to open in a different location were not available, these are two of the things that helped to contribute to me once again going into a major depression and anxiety/ panic attacks coming back into my life. I allowed myself to become more focused on negative things in my life then the positive things. Usually I am an optimistic person unless I stop doing the things that keep me this way. The method I explain below is a very important part of my spiritual path and mental health.

This method of balancing or centering and ground yourself requires getting up just as the Sun breeches the horizon. So it is not for those who like to sleep in some.

Go outside and stand on the grass, dirt, sand, or whatever direct contact you can to Mother Earth/Gaia (1) as close as possible to being in between the rising Sun/Ra/Savitr(Hindu name of God at sunrise and sunset) (2) and the setting Moon/Triple Goddess/Luna (3).

Say hello to and state your intention to ground to which ever Earth Goddess name you choose. Thank the Earth Goddess for her grounding and energy.

Say hello to which ever Sun God name you choose while facing the direction the Sun is rising. Thank the Sun God for his warmth and energy.

Next turn to the direction where the Moon Goddess is. Say hello to whatever name of the Moon Goddess you choose. Thank the Moon Goddess for her guidance and energy.

After I am grounded well and start to feel centered I open myself up to The Great Mother and Great Father asking them to cleanse all negativity, fear, anger, pain, and whatever else comes to mind all the way down to my cellular level. To push it down my body into Mother Earth to rejuvenate and renew it into positive energy to use however she needs to. For me I can actually feel energy moving through out my body and into my legs and my legs feel heavy once they no longer feel that way I know all the negativity has left me during this grounding, centering, and balancing meditation. It can vary from a few minutes up to a half hour or so, it depends on how much needs to be cleaned out of you. After my legs feel normal again I ask to be filled with love, kindness, less physical pain, and positive energy.

The first time I decided to do this to help me out of the depression, isolation, and anxiety I was feeling I had to sit down because my legs were trembling with all the negativity I was expelling and I was afraid I might fall. Once I sat down I also sent a shoot out from my root chakra to help ground me better which had the side affect of unblocking and cleansing all my chakras. It took me about 2 to 3 days of doing this at sunrise and sunset to rid myself of all the negative thoughts and feelings I let myself build up over 4 months. I now am ready to face whatever the Universe sends my way and be a leader by example again for my coven.

My heartfelt thanks to Priestess Hypatia for taking over for me so I had time to get back to being me. I also owe a debt of gratitude to Lady of the Abyss of WOTC for taking time out of her busy schedule to post on our site. I am thankful and honored that so many people took those time to send me encouraging emails and comments. It is good to be back with you all again.

May you all be blessed with good things in your life. Blessed be dear ones, Lady Beltane
