Tool 1: Expel and Burn Ritual
The Expel and Burn Ritual is a powerful method for releasing negative energy associated with traumatic events or feelings and replacing it with positive energy. Here is a step-by-step guide to perform this ritual effectively.
Step-by-Step Guide
1 Preparation
Find a quiet, safe space where you won't be disturbed.
Gather materials: paper, pen, a fireproof bowl or container, matches or a lighter, and a candle (optional).
2 Writing Out the Trauma
Take a deep breath and centre yourself.
On one side of the paper, write down everything you associate with the traumatic event or feeling. Be as detailed as possible.
Describe the feeling in your body: Where do you feel it? Is it heavy, tight, hot, cold?
Reflect on how the event has repeated in your life: What are the patterns?
Identify the people involved: Who has played a role in this trauma?
Ask yourself why you believe this event has occurred: What lessons or messages might it hold?
3 Connecting with the Emotion
Sit quietly and read over what you have written.
Pay close attention to your body's sensations as you do this. Notice any discomfort or tension.
Allow yourself to fully feel the emotions connected to this trauma. Acknowledge their presence without judgement.
4 Expelling the Energy
Hold the paper in your hands and close your eyes.
Visualise the negative energy being absorbed into the paper.
Speak out loud: "I ask the universe to clear and clean this energy from my body, mind, and spirit. I release this energy and all its associations."
5 Burning the Paper
Light the paper carefully, using the matches or lighter. Place it in the fireproof bowl to burn completely.
As it burns, visualise the negative energy dissolving into the universe.
Repeat an affirmation: "In all forms, on all levels, and at all places in time, this energy is now cleansed and removed."
6 Replacing with Positive Energy
Take a new sheet of paper.
Write down the opposite of what you previously described. Focus on the positive feelings and experiences you want to attract.
How do you want to feel? Describe it vividly.
What kind of experiences do you want to have? Who will be involved? How will these experiences make you feel?
7 Inviting Positive Energy
Hold the new paper and close your eyes.
Visualise the positive energy being absorbed into your being.
Speak out loud: "I ask the universe to bring this positive energy into my life. I am open to receiving these experiences."
8 Burning the Positive Intention
Light the second paper and let it burn in the fireproof bowl.
As it burns, imagine the positive energy spreading throughout your body and life.
Conclude with the affirmation: "In all forms, on all levels, and at all places in time, this energy now fills me and my life."
Tool 2: Emotional Experiencing
Emotional experiencing is about allowing yourself to fully feel your emotions so they can move through you, rather than becoming stuck and triggered repeatedly.
Step-by-Step Guide
1 Preparation
Find a quiet and comfortable place where you can be alone.
Sit or lie down in a relaxed position.
2 Acknowledging the Emotion
Close your eyes and take several deep breaths.
Identify the emotion you are feeling. Name it (e.g. sadness, anger, fear).
3 Locating the Emotion in Your Body
Focus on your body and find where the emotion is physically located.
It might feel like a tightness in your chest, a knot in your stomach, or a heaviness in your limbs.
4 Allowing the Emotion
Just like a singing bowl resonates and vibrates when struck, allow your emotion to resonate within you.
Don't try to change it or push it away. Simply let it be and feel its full intensity.
Imagine the emotion as a wave passing through you, knowing that it will eventually subside.
5 Breathing Through the Emotion
Continue to breathe deeply and steadily.
As you inhale, imagine the breath reaching the part of your body where the emotion is located.
As you exhale, visualise the emotion softening and flowing out of your body.
6 Visualising the Release
Picture the emotion as a colour or a shape that gradually fades or dissolves with each breath.
Allow yourself to see the emotion transforming into a lighter, more peaceful state.
7 Completion and Reflection
Once the intensity of the emotion has diminished, take a few moments to rest.
Reflect on the experience: How do you feel now compared to before? What insights have you gained?
Write down any thoughts or realisations in a journal.
Analogy of the Singing Bowl
Imagine your emotion as a note struck on a singing bowl. When the bowl is struck, it vibrates and resonates with a clear, pure sound. This sound eventually fades away, leaving a calm, still silence.
Striking the Bowl:Â The moment you acknowledge and feel the emotion is like striking the singing bowl.
Resonance:Â Allowing the emotion to be fully felt without resistance is like letting the bowl's sound resonate naturally.
Fading Sound:Â As you breathe and stay with the emotion, it begins to lose its intensity, just as the sound of the bowl gradually fades.
Silence:Â Eventually, the emotion passes through, leaving you in a state of calm and clarity, similar to the bowl's return to stillness.
By practising these tools, you can cultivate a deeper connection with your emotions and transform your inner experiences, leading to greater emotional freedom and well-being.
