New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| When things get rough, it helps to remember that we have people in our lives who care for us. Even when we're far away, traveling or away at college, they still bless our lives. Sometimes we need a reminder that we aren't alone, especially when we're feeling down. Get a beeswax candle, preferably one that will burn for a long time. Next, ask permission from those closest to you to carve their names into the candle; if they're of the magical persuasion, you might even ask them to put a personal blessing on it. Once you've carved their names, hold the candle and say:
I am blessed by every friend Who helps me get back on the mend. Whenever you're having a bad day or feeling like you're all alone, burn the candle for a little while and meditate on those whose names are on it and their relationships with you. |
