Welcoming Abundance Ritual
RITUEL
What if we took advantage of the energies this first New Moon of the year is providing us to prepare ourselves to welcome abundance in 2024?
As I mentioned in the previous article, 2024 is a Universal Year in 8, which, in numerology, resonates with abundance, not only material but also emotional and spiritual. And when we have a New Year coupled with a New Moon, it means the beginning of a New Cycle! So let's set the intention to open our hearts, and embrace the Yin polarity in order to maintain a receptive state conducive to the arrival of this abundance.
If you prefer to stick to a simple meditation, that's perfectly okay. The elements below are amplifiers and help send a clearer message to the brain, inking your intentions in the physical world. But the power of intention alone is already very powerful.
For the complete ritual, you will need:
A candle.
A stick of cinnamon, palo santo or sandalwood, or ylang-ylang essential oil.
Aventurine or rose quartz.
Paper and a pen.
Light the candle to open the circle and signal to your brain that you are safe, ready to return to your centre and enter an altered state of consciousness. Burn cinnamon, palo santo or sandalwood, or diffuse ylang-ylang essential oil (you can also apply a few drops to your wrists). These scents can help harmonise the heart chakra and connect to its vibration.
Sit comfortably with the chosen stone in your right hand, your palm facing up, and the left hand on your heart.
Close your eyes and take three deep breaths. Then, shifting your attention to the centre of your chest, ask yourself:
What am I grateful for? What fills me with joy? What am I lucky to have?
Let yourself be filled with sensations of well-being, joy, love, and gratitude. There is no right answer: you can be grateful for good health, discovering a new passion, maintaining loving relationships, or simply enjoying a good meal the day before. Any image that makes you want to smile, that accelerates your heartbeat or relaxes the muscles in your shoulders is a clue. Pay attention to the reactions of your body, to your breathing. Maintain this state as long as you want. Enjoy it, relish in the happiness of realising that so many beautiful things are already part of your life.
Thank the Universe, Gaia, the Moon, the Sun, or the deities you feel connected to.
Then, thank yourself. The simple act of choosing to exist every day, to experience the material world, is an accomplishment in itself. You create your reality, so you are responsible for the wealth already in your possession. Congratulate yourself for the work you have done so far.
Finally, set the intention to keep your heart and mind open to Life's gifts. Tell her that you are ready to go further and that you will receive everything it has to offer with joy and curiosity because you know it works for your highest good.
Ground this experience in the material world by writing on paper the list of your gratitudes, along with your prayer. Finish with "I open my heart to abundance and welcome Life's gifts with joy, love, and kindness. Thank you."
Fold the paper towards you, rotate it clockwise, fold it a second time, rotate again, and make a final fold. Feel free to choose to burn the letter so that the smoke carries your message to the cosmos more quickly, or to preciously keep it until next year.
❂ Thank you ❂
