And why we meet when we meet
The Akashic Blessing Circles take place four times a year – on the Sundays before the equinoxes and solstices – spring,summer, fall and winter.
Equinoxes and solstices are times of transition. The seasons change. The angle of the sun changes. The number of hours of sunlight and darkness change.
These elemental changes trigger our bodies to adapt. They affect our state of mind, our moods and our actions.
Even if we are not paying attention, we are all affected by changes in season. As a spiritual coach, I sense that deep within us is an ancient human need to come together in shared purpose.
We help our bodies and health by eating light for a week or so when the seasons change. We give our digestive systems a rest, which frees the body to adapt to outer changes in weather, the presence and absence of light and pollen. .
One of my personal practices is to clear my home, including my home office. I de-clutter it, smudge it with sage and flower essences, and do a blessing ceremony as part of my preparation for every Akashic Blessing Circle.
This keeps the space clear and peaceful, which supports the reception of spiritual energies – and helps us have expansive experiences.
Honoring the transition of the seasons through group ceremony and prayer gives you the inner resources you need for times of change.
Times of transition can become easier when we reach out for support and guidance. In the guided Akashic blessing circle, we reach out to our spiritual guides and Loved Ones.
Opening the Circle
To open the circle, you are invited to share your first name – then share your focus. What’s happening in your life right now? What are you wanting to receive?
I ask you to request qualities that will assist you – such as peace, clarity, strength, or connection. Manifesting material objects is not our focus at this time. We focus on the emotional or energetic qualities we need – not things.
The Akashic works through bathing us with energy flows. Another way to think of energy flows is – qualities of the Divine. Qualities such as compassion, wisdom and freedom are – on subtle levels, energy flows.
The qualities that you ask for will come to you as physical sensations, and sometimes images or words. Our bodies drink in the energy like sweet, pure water. More accurately, we are receiving liquid light.
These sensations fill a deep, bodily human need – a thirst for connection, for union with a loving spiritual force that is so much larger than we are.
Besides being a delicious experience that feels fulfilling and uplifting, the energies literally support your nervous system to recognize and perpetuate these same sensations long after the blessing circle has closed.
By articulating your needs, you support yourself and the group. Others in the group inevitably share the same needs – because we are human. The possibilities for getting your needs met greatly increases when you articulate them. Through your speech, you are opening up space in your body to receive. The more precise you are, the clearer is the transmission you will receive. You are attuning yourself, like turning a radio dial – to eliminate static and be a clear channel for Source energy.
Everyone present has the opportunity to speak if they feel called to share. The energy of request flows outward from each person into the center of the circle. Together, we build the energy field, which is a location for receiving the blessing.
I lead the group into a quiet space together, getting centered in our breath, and grounded in the earth. This helps us open to receive insight, wisdom and compassion from the blessing. During this transition, I lead a guided process that prepares the group to enter the Akashic.
By the time I read the opening prayer, you are aligned and attuned, ready to receive.
When the Akashic Record opens, we experience a change in state. Our bodies feel different. This varies from person to person. Often people say their body seems to expand, to fill with Light. Some people see colors, or feel tingling or pulsing. People often receive downloads – answers to their prayers.
After the blessing, you have a renewed sense of direction. You have been tuned by the Akashic – like a spiritual tuning fork – to frequencies of your Higher Self.
When I close the Records, we share the benefits we have received with All Beings. We acknowledge that our blessings come from Source. For example, if we have received peace, we say “May all Beings be Peaceful.”
In an expanded state of gratitude, we declare blessings for All Beings. One of the joys of being a spiritual mentor is working with groups and building a high vibration together.
