Woman Spirit Rising: Multi-Traditional Women’s Healing Circle

This multi-traditional women’s healing ceremony is hosted monthly by Flash Silvermoon, Priestess of the Rainbow Goddess Tradition. Flash is joined by a circle of women who are priestesses of various traditions. Together they use their spirituality, creativity, and deep heartedness to create peace, healing, and justice for ourselves and the planet.

You can join them in the circle once a month -- live on air or by listening to the recording afterwards. These circles are powerful and instructive for women at all levels. Listening to them brings the wonderful circle energy right into your home where you can co-create with them.

"If you want to participate and not just listen, you will need a burning bowl or smudge bowl with sage/cedar or your favorite blend, a lighter, paper, and pen," says Flash Silvermoon. Be sure to open your window a bit whenever you are using smudge indoors, or use a smokeless smudge or gem elixer.

You can access links to the current and previous shows on Flash Silvermoon's webpage. Some of the past topics have included:

• Psychic Self Defense (November 2012)

• Ceremony for Transformation (December 2012)

• Honoring Our Heroines, Mentors, and Keepers of the Flame (January 2013)

• Love (February 2013)

• Peace with Justice and Healing (March 2013)

• How we Nurture Ourselves and the Planet (April 2013)

• Opening the Heart, and Creating our Spiritual Mother in honor of Mother's Day (May 2013)

The circle rotates others in and out and has included the following spirited wise women: Gwendolyn Holden Barry, Cyndie Lepori, Judith Kahealani Lynne, Ruthann Amarteifio, Pandora Lightmoon, and Gabrielle Alizay. They offer you a template for weaving your own circle and a safe space of spiritual sisterhood no matter your skill level. All are welcome to listen and enjoy the fine energy that they raise.

Cleanse and Clear Your Aura

With so much talk about staying positive, more people are aware of the energy of their thoughts and feelings, especially negative ones. Signs of “energetic debris” include headaches, negative moods, fatigue, pessimism, and general malaise. These practices will help you to let go of negative energy by cleansing and clearing your aura.

Cleanse, ground, and protect yourself as part of preparation for any meditation or healing work. Cleansing is also essential after doing any kind of healing work.

After cleansing your aura, seal it by drawing an invisible shield or tent over yourself and give thanks.

Practices to help you keep yourself clear in your daily life.

• Sweep your energy field with your hands.
• Smudge with sage, sweetgrass, and/or cedar.
• Rinse your hands and forearms in cool water.
• Stand in a waterfall of white light or rainbow colors of light.
• Step into a golden net.
• Take a bath in sea salt and baking soda or in Epsom salt.
• Take a cool shower.
• Use lavender, orange, or peppermint in a body wash, salt scrub, or spray.
• Use stones such as blue kyanite, fishtail selenite, or selenite.
• Claim yourself as a Temple of the Holy Universal Spirit.
• Sit in direct sunshine.
• Drink water.
• Breath into your chakras.
• Keep grounding.

You can also cleanse and protect yourself daily in the shower by calling in the holy spirit to the four directions (for protection) and calling in the blue-white light of divine love (to clean yourself thoroughly). (As taught by Darlene White Morning Glory, August 2006.) More on this practice will be shared in future posts.
