An epiphany is a realization, an "aha" moment or
an inner sense of illumination of a thing or feeling that was not
previously felt or known. It is the comprehension of the essence of a
thing, as in a discovery. In some cultures it is a time for baking
of the King’s
cake. It is a
celebration for The Three
Kings or Three Wise Men's visit to baby Jesus. According
to an old legend based on a Bible story, these three Kings saw, on the night
when Christ was born, a bright star✯, and followed
it to Bethlehem. There the Christ-child was discovered and he was
presented with gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
Epiphany is a time of
ritual and celebration. One such ritual is a Burning Bowl Ceremony, also
performed during Eclipses and New Moons. This
ceremony provides an opportunity to meditate and reflect on aspects of life,
behavior patterns, thought forms, beliefs and perspectives that are no longer
useful or serve ones higher good. They are released in preparation for
entrance into a new cycle.
Starting your Epiphany ritual, it is important to prepare your space. Burning sage cleanses negative energy and also your aura. If sage isn't a favorite, simply fan the air around your body and space, opening windows briefly as it's quite cold where many people live this time of the year.
Reiki practitioners
may send a special "symbol" into each corner of
the room. Sprinkling your favorite essential oil (my preference is Lavender) connects
its scent to a memory feeling. Then take a moment to quiet your mind, your
thoughts, connecting to your heart, Guides, and Angels, and physically write down what you are leaving
behind; what needs to be released. Feelings may surface when you're letting
go of something or someone you have held onto for too long. Let it go.
Take a deep breath in, then exhale and center again. It is easy to use tiny
pieces of paper or small post-it notes and write one thought on each slip or
note. After writing want you want to release, place them in a fireproof bowl, possibly an abalone shell or brass urn, and
allow it to burn. Let them all go. Let them burn, vanishing from your life.
Poof~! Gone, up in smoke~!
After you have released what is no longer useful, take a
moment to quiet your thoughts again and focus on what you want to bring into
your life. Do you want to create a new career? A new
relationship? Peace? Take a deep breath in, then exhale, and
center. Once again, write each desire on small pieces of paper.
Intentions with excited
emotion bring them quickly into your life,
so get happy~! *smile* Remember a time and place where you felt
absolutely amazing, joyful and content. Focus on these feelings as you're
writing your intentions. Allow yourself to get caught up in your imagination,
thinking of your perfect future.
These new intentions may be kept either in a space on your altar, a small pouch, bag or in a cup, or any special place. I keep new intentions in a tiny pouch inside my wallet and periodically change them when those intentions have been obtained . You may also choose to burn them, sending their energy into the Universe. The choice is yours. Remember to give thanks for all you do have.
"I want and I have".

grateful for....* *Thank you
Universe...* ❤
Settled, knowing that outmoded, limiting thoughts and perceptions
have been replaced with progressively new, growth-oriented intentions, these
new perspectives feel exciting, soothing, comforting, and cathartic. Now you
feel amazing, grounded, fantastic, wonderful, happy, awesome, and Divinely
blessed. New beginnings await you...many blessings...
☮ Let
there be ☮ Peace on Earth....☮
