Anchoring Reflective Consciousness
copyright © Leo Sawicki
In my way of thinking, I see all things as an opportunity for personal growth along which comes wisdom, knowledge, great love and transformation. I am grateful to walk in harmony with my environment, no matter where the road leads.
Fine tuning the gift of anchoring reflective consciousness is a daily event. It begins with bringing in the energy of purpose and well-being in. I begin by lighting a candle with a prayer of gratitude for all that is and what will be. It serves to set the tone for the rest of the day. Then I bless the things around me in a universal fashion and am grateful for the galaxies and the solar system, for the earth and the abundance it provides, for the people and the beauty of nature.
This is followed by a smudge to move away any lower energy fields such as thoughts, emotions or feelings that may have followed me into this new day, and allow the higher energies to flow through me and into the world.
The morning smudge begins by standing facing the east and lighting sage or sweetgrass. This is offered up to the heavens and in my minds eye a shower of electric orbs cascade from above onto the planet and I am filled with a sense of peace.
As I move the smudge though my solar plexus I pray for new-clear resonance and instantaneous sub atomic implosions ignite and serve to remove residual energy and toxins from the body.
The smudge is then drawn over the heart chakra so that all things may be done in a loving way.
As I move up to the throat chakra I pray that I only speak kind words.
I draw the smoke over my nose and am grateful for the teachings and the lessons along the way.
I gently draw the smoke over one ear as I pray to understand what is being said, and then the other ear, and pray that I may also hear what is not being said.
I continue with a gentle sweeping motion of drawing the healing smoke from the sage over my eyes and ask that I may see what is there and what is not there.
I move up to the mind area and draw the smoke towards my forehead with a prayer that I may be crystal clear in all that I say and do.
Finally, I draw the smoke over my body so that I may walk in a good way.
This sets the tone for a simple breakfast of yogurt and cashews and an Omega 3-6-9 before setting out for a walk along the beach and preparing for a morning of writing.
