New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| This time of year it's obvious that change is happening on the Earth. The vibrant colors of the leaves are truly their last spurt of energy before they go dormant. If you find yourself in need of changes in your life, then find some time to walk through the woods or a park and gather as many of the fallen leaves that still show some color. Take them home and tie the leaves with orange ribbon, making a rough bouquet. Place the bouguet in a basket on your dining table and take note each day as they wither and fall to peices. When the leaves are totally dry, crush them to a fine powder and save the powder in a paper bag. Often there are public bonfires happening at this time of year. You can cast the bag of powder into one of those fires, or build a small fire in your own backyard. Watch the fire for a bit and locate an area that seems "open." Say these words before you burn the bag:
Fire burn and light my way, Make my thoughts as clear as day. Cleanse my fear of change to come, And strengthen who I will become. |
