A Ritual for Clarity

I begin by lighting a candle, grounding my feet on the floor, and setting my intention. I repeat the following outloud: It is my intention to release confusion and open to the clarity that my own soul can offer my heart, and my heart can offer my mind.

I then take the oil of Clarity, rub a drop on my forehead, heart, and two inches below the navel, thus anointing the mind, heart, and soul. This embodies the intention.  Gazing into the candle, the symbol of light, I begin to follow my breath.

Inviting a settling and allowing my eyes to close, I move into more stillness, and then I allow a deeper settling. Breathe. Allow. Breathe. Allow. I feel the lifting of the pressure and the quieting of my mind as I follow my breath entering and leaving my body.  I begin to focus on the places in my body where the stillness is being created.
