Hello All! It's Danae, The Crafty Chick here, bringing you another edition of the Crafty Witch Files. Here is yet another simple, frugal, Pagan DIY Excersize to bring your Spirituality and Craftwork into your daily life.This is the Aura Cleansing Shower Meditation that I promised to sare with you. I have used it for many years now, with great results. It is obvious in it's simplicity; but it is very effective, both on its own, and as part of a larger working. I usually do this by itself, as a quick daily cleanse; and also as preparation for my Morning Devotion. It only takes a couple of minutes. In the evenings it is nice to perform by candlelight. It requires nothing but the water from your shower, and your mind for visualization. (How is that for Frugal Witchery?!) This is a perfect way to get yourself into the proper mindset before meditation, ritual or spell work. *Basically, you begin your shower as usual. Start with a few nech rolls, as the warm water relaxes you. *Then ground yourself in your usual fashion. (I tend to use the Tree Root Grounding most often, with a few variations to keep it interesting. *Once you are grounded; starting; starting from the top of your Crown Chakra, visualize the water containing a glowing white light. *As the water pours over the top of your head, and down the back of your neck; see and feel the water/light cleansing your aurs of any foreign or negative energy, as well as physically cleansing your body. *Feel the light/water running down your back and your spine; washing away any stress and negativity along with it. *As you continue down from your head to your toes; make sure to carry the energy/stress all of the way down the drain. (I like to think of it as going far, far down the pipes to the ocean where it is then nutralized by the Mother.) *The main objective here is just tomake sure that you can see/feel it leaving you, and then bein converted into positive energy. *After this, the last step is very important. As we all know; energy abhors a vaccumn. Anything that is removed must be replaced. *Youmust be just as strong in your visualization of the white light filling you back up with positive light energy and love. *Sometimes I add specific traits; such as pshychic sensitivity, productivity, creativity, extra warmth, kindness, love, or tolerance for others, etc. *Just remember that this final step is very important. You must see/feel SOMETHING filling you back up, or else you leave yourself open for the negativity and stress to return.*I also like to include the physical act of scrubbing myself head to toe, as that reinforces the cleansing in my mind. I also do as aura sweep, flicking the negative energy away from me. (Also, that aura flicking is a good substitute when you don't have time for the full shower routine, or are someplace and need to quickly decompress.)When used properly and regularly; this Cleansing Shower Meditation can become an indispensable practice in any person's spiritual routine.Whether used by itself as a general aura cleanse, or as part of a larger working; it is quite effective.Please feel free to add to it or change it to better suit your style and purpose.Also, I wanted to wish us all aHAPPY EARTH DAY!for tomorow ">
