Welcome,
I'm Joanne,
And this is your Sacred Pause,
A time to breathe,
Reconnect,
And step gently into ritual.
So let's begin with the Bloom Keeper's Breath.
Now this is a soft,
Sacred,
Fairy communion ritual for heart softening,
Grounding,
And connection.
And what you need to do this ritual is a small thistle,
Clover,
Or a soft wildflower.
They can be real or dried.
A quiet corner.
Now outdoors is ideal.
A cup of herbal tea,
Maybe lavender,
Chamomile,
Or rose.
A silver or lavender cloth or scarf.
And of course you can have your journal or oracle cards.
Now first prepare the space.
Lay your scarf like a fairy altar.
Place your flower and the cup of tea on it.
Then close your eyes.
Take three soft,
Grounding breaths.
And say,
I call upon Thistledown,
Soft keeper of bloom and breath.
Guide me in the way of fierce gentleness.
Now sip and listen.
Hold your tea with both hands.
Take a sip.
Imagine Thistledown curling in beside you like breeze and shimmer.
Ask her a question.
Or just say,
What would you like to share with me today?
Let the answer arrive as a thought,
A picture,
A sensation.
No need to force,
Just feel.
Now take your flower and gently pluck a petal.
Whisper into it,
Thank you for your company and magic.
And let it float away in the air or bury it in soil as an offering.
Or you could place it in your journal.
And to finish this short little gratitude,
Say aloud or within.
The whisper has passed,
But the friendship stays.
May softness be my strength.
May my strength say stay soft.
And you can do this in a new moon or a full moon.
And draw Thistledown fairy in your journal.
Pull a card with her energy.
And leave her tiny shining object or a crystal as thanks.
This circle is complete,
But the energy remains within you.
Walk with balance.
Breathe with ease.
And carry your light forward until we meet again.
Namaste.
