Here is the healing ritual we used at tonight’s Welcoming and Rainbow Circles. Powerful conversation today!

INCENSE—David Taliesin
Use some kind of healing incense such as lavender or frankincense. Light it and fan the smoke on each participant as you go around the circle. Say something like:

May you be healed in body, mind and spirit. So mote it be.

As well as all other Divine forms whose names are written in our hearts and spoken by our lips.
You are all most welcome here!
We are blessed by your presence!
Hail and welcome!

HEALING RITUAL—David Taliesin

Lead the group through a brief meditation to ground and center. Encourage participants to breathe deeply and let go of stress. Visualize roots growing from their feet into the earth. Ask them to focus on the area where they need healing, whether that’s physical, emotional, or spiritual.

Raise energy as a group using the Druid tone chant Oh, ee, ah. Oh—Energy is raised. Ee—pull it back like a bow. Ah—energy is released into the circle.

When ready, tell them to direct this energy either to themselves and whatever needs to be healed or visualize sending it to others who are in need of healing.

DISMISSING THE CIRCLE—David Taliesin
We turn to the North and give thanks to
the Guardians and Elemental Spirits of Earth
for helping us in our healing work today.
Stay if you will, go if you must. We bid you farewell.

We turn to the West and give thanks to
the Guardians and Elemental Spirits of Water
for helping us in our healing work today.
Stay if you will, go if you must. We bid you farewell.

We turn to the South and give thanks to
the Guardians and Elemental Spirits of Fire
for helping us in our healing work today.
Stay if you will, go if you must. We bid you farewell.

We turn to the East and give thanks to
the Guardians and Elemental Spirits of Air
for helping us in our healing work today.
Stay if you will, go if you must. We bid you farewell.

All thanks and praise to the Divine healing powers,
Who have called us to be healers as well.
Strengthen our bodies, minds and sprits,
So that we might be forces for good,
Helping to heal our broken and troubled world.
Stay if you will, go if you must.
We bid you farewell.

The circle is open but never unbroken
Because it is a circle woven in love.
Whatever energy is left in this space
We return to the earth with a spirit of gratitude.
Merry meet and merry part, and merry meet again.
