Smudges & Smudging
Awakening to a New Day

With the start of the New Year, it's a time to start to look at the daily rituals we keep. Adding a blessing and a smudging to the start of your day can help in shielding you from negativity and in connecting you to the divine spirit that watches and guides us on our daily paths.

When you wake in the morning don't jump out of bed and get busy. Lie still for a few moments, feel the life energy flowing through your body, reconnecting to the waking world.

Slowly get out of bed and either light a smudge stick or light an oil burner.

Face the rising dawn.

Stretch your psychic cord down through your feet toward the Earth. Connect with the life force of the divine Mother that sustains life. Ask for Her aid in remaining grounded and for Her to guide your steps as you walk your path.

Stretch your psychic cord up from the top of your head toward the Heavens. Connect with the Divine Father that guards and protects us. Ask for His aid in soaring above the pettiness of everyday life and achieving all that you should this day.

Slowly stretch and sit quietly for a moment or two and consider all that must be accomplished this day and visualize yourself completing the tasks without stress, without haste and in the manner you wish to see them done in.

Extinguish the smudge or oil burner and remember the day is yours to enjoy.

Meditation Thought for the Month - "A Christmas Vow"

"In the center of my heart I have a mystic throne for Thee. The candles of my joys are dimly lighted in the hope of Thy coming. They will burn brighter when Thou appearest. Whether Thou comest or not, I will wait for Thee until my tears melt away all material grossness."

"To please Thee my love-perfumed tears will wash Thy feet of silence. The alter of my soul will be kept empty until Thou comest."

"I will talk not; I will ask naught of Thee, I will realize that Thou knowest the pangs of my heart while I wait for Thee."

"Thou dost know that I am praying; Thou dost know that I love no other. Yet whether Thou dost come to me or not, I will wait for Thee, though it be for eternity."

By Paramahansa Yogananda, "Metaphysical Meditations"
