Healing
Ritual
Coven
of the Burning Waters

Narrator:
Introduction:
Love is the fabric of all life, the essence of
growth and the foundation of the elements.
Through love, hunger can be tolerated,
suffering can be eased, and pain can be endured.
When we look out at nature, we know with
certainty that Mother Nature sculpted the earth with
loving hands.
The
touch of a loved one's hand can bring comfort in times
of pain. The
touch of a mother's hand can calm the most treacherous
injury and injustice. We are here tonight to be Mother's hands.
Meditation
and Grounding and Centering:
Close
your eyes and feel your torso elongate.
Breathe in 1, 2, 3, 4.
Hold breath 1,2,3,4,5,6,7.
Exhale 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
Repeat: Breath
in 1,2,3,4. Hold 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Exhale
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8.
(Spontaneous Healing Weil, Andrew M.D.)
Feel
your feet sink into the earth and be transformed into
an intricate root system that branches into the roots
of the other trees.
You share the same energy force.
Our roots form an interwoven circle in which
energy flows freely and unobstructed between us all. Take a moment and feel the interconnection that comes from
being part of a grove of trees.
Focus on your torso--breathe out as you imagine
your torso growing in length.
(Inhale) Breathe
out and stretch out your arms and hands.
These are the branches, feel them touch the
branches of the "tree" beside you, feel that
person's energy flow through your branches into your
"trunk" down to your roots connecting us all
as one. Grasp
hands and feel the power of One.
Everyone:

in hand the circle is cast.
(With hands clasped walk around circle

present, chant: Perfect
Love, Perfect Trust.)

Your
dependence on pain medication will be replaced with

Do

your bones. Imagine the circulation of your blood throughout your body.
I

these problems first occurred.
Let me carry the hurt?

I bring with me stability.
I am the foundation upon which nations are
built, and man walks upon.
I am the very flesh and bones that holds your
soul. (Drag amethyst over pain filled areas, Pass bowl
of dirt over his body) Your bones will be strong… for now; won't you lean upon me?
Sufferer:
I will.
(Earth
washes away instability in the basin and visualizes a
strong and healthy Sufferer.)
(East

up bowl of water, Earth pick up bowl of earth.
Point these objects towards Sufferer project
healing energy to Sufferer through these images.)
(Chant
the names of the elements like we do when lifting a
person. Visualize
lifting the black aura of sickness.)
Narrator:
Healing
rituals only work when you believe.
The power of faith rings true across all
nations and all religions.
Take a moment to visualize a pain free, healthy
you with us. (On
