New Year, New You…But Really?
Welcome to the Mystical Intelligence blog about renewal + Broom ritual!
But first, let me share a story…
A dusty notebook with pages heavy with written notes clings against the black, sturdy metal bookcase. It hopes to be reopened...rediscovered. I open to a page number blurred by the years. Finding a story orated to me about Osiris. He is a symbol of death, rebirth, and resurrection. The Ouroboros, its tail succumbs to biting fangs. Coming full circle. The process of resurrection rest against my bosom. I turn my face up to the sunrise knowing new beginnings lay ahead.
A new year, a new you? Yes, really!
As 2022 completes its cycle in a few days. Close your eyes for a moment. Begin to imagine 2023 in color or shape. What's the first thing that comes to mind? Take a deep breath as it appears now. How will this color or shape play a part in your life in 23'? Dive deeper by journaling, or relaxing about what came up for you.
Broom Ritual - Sharing a personal practice!
It is said the home is a reflection of the body and mind. I believe this to be true! Have you ever noticed when 'spring cleaning' or decluttering the atmosphere feels lighter as if a weight has been lifted? Or, feeling more at ease knowing your home is spacious? Clearing the home is a great way to build a strong foundation where desires and goals blossom.
In preparation for 23' grab a broom, (if you have a Swiffer or mop that counts too!) starting from the back of your home and going counterclockwise, sweep as you recite the following:
All bad out... Todo lo malo para fuera
All good in... Todo lo bueno para dentro
When you're ready dispose of all the dust and junk! See all negative energy become smaller. So small it dissipates as you throw it away. When you're ready take a deep breath. See yourself let go. Now, think of the color or shape you received for 2023. Breathe in and out as your home is clear now. May this ritual bring renewal into your life.
Feel free to recite as many times as you like.
Thank you for reading.
