A sacred
blending of American Indian Medicine and Reiki. With
The power to change your life.
Hoop Blessing Ceremony
While none of the following is
absolutely needed or required, I strongly recommend all of the following as a
way of preparing yourself for the blessing.
Initiates
Guests
You will need the following:
Smudge (Sweetgrass or Sage or Cedar or the shelf fungus
from the far north).
A candle (a votive the colour of the chakra being aligned
would be nice) with holder.
Matches (wooden preferred).
Supportive friends/family. Medicine Reiki is communal. Even
one or two others is better than no one. If you must be alone,
make a point of inviting your spirit helpers and friends.
A comfortable and serene location large enough to accommodate
everyone.
You will need the following:
Smudge (Sweetgrass or Sage or Cedar or the shelf fungus
from the far north).
A comfortable and serene location.
Process for both initiates and guests:
Smudge and bless the area. If you are a Reiki 2 or 3, place
SHK's in each corner, CKR's on each chair, and, if you are
a Reiki Master, the DKM over the entire area.
Imagine two concentric circles, with initiates in the centre
circle and guests in the outer circle. You may also sense
some or all of the other participants surrounded by helpers
and loved ones.
Initiates
Guests
Ask someone to be your candle lighter.
Have your friends, family, and helpers sit comfortably in a
circle around you. Place the unlit candle in the centre of
the circle and have the candle lighter in that part of the
circle facing you.
Have someone offer an opening prayer. I normally ask the eldest
person present, but follow your heart.
Invite your angels, Reiki Guides and other helpers to join the
circle.
Ask everyone to fill the circle with Reiki. Even folks not
attuned to Reiki can contribute.
Relax and centre yourself. Sense the sacredness of the space
you are all occupying.
Wait until you feel it is your turn, then signal the candle
lighter to think of me and light the candle. (K'sitew is the
fire in the centre of the circle, so lighting the candle is
a good way to reach out to me and let me know you are ready
for the blessing.)
Find your place in the outer circle and relax.
Offer a prayer for everyone participating in the ceremony.
Invite your angels, Reiki Guides and other helpers to join the circle.
Fill both the inner and out circles with Reiki.
Remain in the circle until you sense the ceremony is complete.
The blessing will occur soon after the lighting the candle,
anything from immediately to a few minutes afterwards. But remember, there
are a number of folks being attuned, so it might be a bit longer. Be patient.
Remain inside the circle until you
have completely returned to the here and now, then move to the edge of the
circle.
Ask everyone to share what they experienced, beginning with the person on your
left and continuing sunwise. This will cause you to be the last one to share.
Offer a closing prayer of thanks. Extingusih the candle. Please do not blow it out.
Fire is the Spirit of Relationship, not something you want to send away.
Celebrate!
What to expect: Anything from nothing at all (in which case Medicine Reiki
simply is not on your path at this time) to the appearance of totem animals, light
effects, sounds, a feeling of high energy, etc.,etc. Stay open and let be what
will be.
Peace,
K'sitew
