Center and Ground
Center yourself now by seeing all the light that is you - in you and emanating from you. Using your imagination, take all of that light and pull it into yourself. Pull all of the light above your head into your stomach. Pull all of the light below your feet into your stomach. Pull all of the light at your left and at your right into your stomach. Set for a moment and feel all of your light centered in your stomach.
Ground yourself now buy feeling the bottom of your feet on the floor or the ground. Using your imagination allow any surface that is on the floor or the ground to grow roots, down into the ground below, deep, deep, into the ground. These roots will hold your body in the earthly realm while your spirit goes on an adventure to a sacred space that is not a space to a time that is not a time.
Use your imagination to visualize your beautiful, lighted circle. See it as a bubble that surrounds you on all four side, above and below.
Cast the Circle
Call the Corners and The Elements
North, East, South and West
We Honor You.
Earth, Aire, Fire and Water,

Be Blessed and Ever Present With Us,
As We Work This Rite.
Welcome, Our Beloveds!
Reflection, Meditation and
The Setting of Intention
If you are alone in your ritual - take a moment to reflect on the past year, meditate and set an intention for what you want to create in your life.
If you are in a group - each person may take a turn reflecting, meditating and setting intention.
Healing
Palms Forward toward the person who needs healing.
Palm up to receive healing.
And Chant…
Ooooommmm
I am whole, I am filled with light!
I am whole, I am filled with light!
I am whole, I am filled with light!
I am whole, I am filled with light!
I am whole!
And then sing…

Closing the Circle
Now using your imagination once again, see your beautiful lighted bubble. Now your are going to allow your bubble to simply desolve, disolve, disolve , disolve down until it no longer exsist.
