Tool 13: Ceremony
Protection Tools

Ceremony and ritual are other ancient tools that harness your mind and honour your intention. When carrying out a ceremony, it’s usual to do this within a cleansed sacred space (see opposite). Some people like to wear a robe, but this isn’t necessary. It does make a ceremony feel special if you take the time to have a bath or shower and put on clean clothes, but even this isn’t essential. It’s more important that you carry out the ceremony seriously but joyfully, with your attention and emotions fully engaged. Music can assist the process, as can candles and incense, but, as with everything, it’s your intention and focus that bring success.

Selenite

Crystallized divine light, ethereal white Selenite occupies the space between light and matter. It’s an excellent stone for repairing and re-energizing the aura. It holds a deep inner peace and meditating with it takes you into pure light and creates a protective grid around an area, as it does not allow outside influences to penetrate. A large piece within the house ensures a peaceful atmosphere prevails.
