New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Color of the day: White
Incense of the day: Ylang-ylang In Tibet on this day, the monks performed an ancient ritual to eliminate negative forces and hindrances. Dressed in yellow robes, they used vocal and instrumental sounds to invoke creative awareness. Begin this ritual by allowing yourself to vocalize freely whatever sounds come forth, melodious or dissonant. Play music that inspires you to dance as you cast a circle, sprinkling flower petals or potpourri thrice around. Scent a basin of warm water with sandalwood oil and wash your feet. Dry them off well and rub them with a little olive oil. Using a henna paste, paint them artfully with spirals, circles, and other symbols. When you are ready, begin your ritual dance, improvising movement that you feel expresses the release of dark energy as you move counter-clockwise within your sacred circle. Then change direction and dance sunwise, pulling in toward your solar plexus feelings of joy and positivity as you chant a mantra of purification, "Om mani padme hum," and cut away the fearsome foe! |
