New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Does something from the past haunt you? Use the waning moon to help banish memories.
Gather items that evoke memories. Lay a square of black cotton, large enough to wrap up all your memory objects, flat on your altar. Meditate on the past. Feel it as a weight inside you. Imagine it growing lighter and lighter, floating up like a bubble. Let it rise and disappear. One by one, hold each item. Say: "I am ready to let you go. I can forget you now." Place the item on the cloth. Pull the corners of the cloth together to form a bag. Tie it with a silver cord. Leave a long end to carry the bag. Find a bridge, preferably over running water. Hold the bag by the cord. Say: "I let you go. I forget you." Cut the cord and let the bag fall into the water. Don't look back. |
