Today's Saturday Circle

We had a really great group at today's Saturday Circle.
We talked about the roles and cycles that we let ourselves fall into and remain in as we go through life even though they are no longer serving us.
We attempted to change the circle/cycle of Victim, Perpetrator & Rescuer into a positive aspect of each that more fully met our needs and our spiritual life paths by going within and seeking guidance from a Higher Power , then putting that into actual "physical play" within our lives by creating a ritual to move the energy into the direction we were seeking.
Everyone shared a ritual that seemed to work well for them to help release some of of the things that were holding them back. I believe that rituals such as these are key in placing our "intent" into motion, because even though we possess the mental/spiritual power to change our direction and energy with pure thought and intention; we are indeed physical beings that require physical action and re-enforcement.
Some of the physical manifestation and rituals we have for release here on the property include the use of Mother Earth & Nature, the Sweat lodge, The "infamous" and well used Door, and the stone Medicine Wheel.
Today we used a ritual in the Medicine Wheel in which we chose to birth a new cycle/story in the East;Deathed the old one that no longer served us in the West; Dreamed the new one and gave it power in the Southwest; Decided what was really important to us in the South; Lived it in the North; Showed it to our Ancestors in the Northeast and began the process again in the East.....
Creating infinity within the wheel of life.......
All of us encircled each person with love ,support ,healing, & joy as they birthed, deathed and lived their ritual of change in their life.
I can still feel the blessing of energy shared, joy felt, and the feeling you get when the people your sharing space with open their hearts........I am very grateful.

Oh ya, we sang too. The song that seemed most appropriate at the time was "Joy to the world- all the boys & girls , now- Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea- Joy to you and me!"
**Did I mention that along with purpose and intent - spontaneity and humor are two important components of ritual???
