So far in these posts I've pointed to how we can observe the evolution of the color spheres at work in the world. Today I want to describe a way to participate in this evolution yourself.
This week I was privileged to choreograph a house blessing for the new home of a dear friend. I thought of the Violet Sphere of Ceremony and Architecture as I designed the way we would create the space in which my friend will flourish in the next few years.
A Violet Sphere ceremony is one in which the ceremonialist and the participants lay the ground work for a desired outcome. Participation in such a ceremony demands evolution into the Rose Quartz Sphere of Mastery and Observation, because after the ceremony concludes the next step IS to pull back and observe how the energetic intention of the ceremonialists manifests.
In the case of this particular house blessing, all the participants will now lovingly witness how our beloved friend thrives and prospers in her new environment.
The intention of the ceremony was to create four fields of blessing around the owner's new home, so that any person, any thing, or any energy that enters that home will be aligned with the highest purpose of the owner by the time it reaches the interior of the house.
The twelve people who were there to assist took their stations: four at the outer corners of the property line, four at the corners of the outside walls of the house, two half way between the property line and the house - one in the back yard one in the front, and two inside the house. The job of these people was to watch as the owner created energetic fields of blessing around her house. (Rose Quartz shows up already!)
As the four blessings were performed, the witnesses observed the creation of four globes of blessing surrounding the home. The owner of the home created the "equator" of each of these spheres so that the home is held in the center of four concentric bubbles of light.
The blessings were as follows:
1. First, the owner of the house moved in a clockwise direction (starting in the East) around the inside external walls of the house carrying a bowl of smoking sage. With a feather she created a "line" of sage around the home giving thanks to the builders, architects and past owners of the home. Every electrical socket, every water faucet, every air conditioning vent, every threshold into the home was particularly blessed. She asked for permission to become the new steward of the home, asked for the protection of these walls, and asked that any people, animals, objects, or energies that entered the home from that moment own would be in alignment with her own highest life purpose.
2. Next the owner went outside and using organic tobacco and walking in a clockwise direction (starting in the East), she created a second "equator" round the outside of the home. As she did so, she gave thanks for and acknowledged the boundary between nature and manmade structure, and she expressed her gratitude for being the next occupant of this beautiful edifice. Again she asked that this sphere of blessing transform any energies entering this home so that they would be in alignment with her own good.
3. Half way between the walls of the home and the property line, she created a third equator, also with the tobacco, also in the clockwise direction. This time she honored the nature spirits, the trees and plants, the ancestors of the land. She asked their permission to become their new steward. She asked for their protection and for participation in transforming all energies that crossed these energetic boundaries. And she promised to take care of the property lovingly.
4. At the property's edge, she created the fourth equator. This time she acknowledged the power of boundary between neighbors, as well as the solidarity between neighbors. Again, she asked for permission to be the new neighbor - the new steward. Again she asked the earth devas to create a globe of divine protection and blessing around her new home. Again she pledged her energy to caring for this land.
With the ceremony complete, we all stood back and bore witness. The house seemed to shimmer. The trees seemed particularly joyful. The energy of the new property glowed. We had participated in a ceremony of Unity - in which the home became simultaneously a unique configuration of energy, but also a unified partner with the energies of the community. The house itself evolved as we observed.
Now we will all watch with loving hearts as our friend moves into her new home, starts this new phase of her life, flourishes in the richness of these blessings.
If you were there, I urge you to add comments and your observation. If you were not there, I urge you to use this ceremony around your own home, whether it's new or not!
