“Each one of us matters, has a role to play and makes a difference. Each one of us must take responsibility for our own lives, and above all, show respect and love for all living things around us, especially each other. Together we must reestablish our connections with the natural world and with the Spiritual Power that is around us. And then we can move, triumphantly, joyously, into the final stage of human evolution–spiritual evolution.” –Dr. Jane Goodall

You can use a special fire ceremony to send out your desire for positive change. I use this ceremony in my full moon Labyrinth ceremonies.
The burning bowl ceremony can be as elaborate, or simple, as you want to design it. The first thing I do is have each person write on a small piece of paper something or some quality that they want to manifest in the next moon cycle or year. If you have a secret name use that name to sign it.
Close it with a symbol that is special to you or your spiritual path. A star with a circle around it is a symbol of manifestation of spirit into form. We then write on a separate piece of paper something or quality that they would like to give away in the upcoming month/year. This is their ‘give away’ prayer. For instance, “I give away my anger regarding my failed marriage.” “I give away poor concentration in school.” “I gave away my need for sweets.
Some people will use special paper to write this on, like flash paper.
I usually use plain white 2 x 4 inch paper. You can add any symbols to the message you like, for example an astrological symbol, or a symbol that has meaning and power to you.

You need a fireproof container to burn them in. I always do this ceremony outside. Have a lid handy for your container and a fire stick lighter. Create a special place or altar to do your ceremony on. I have a cast-iron container that I only use for ceremony.

I like to create a ceremonial space invocation/evocation calling the powers, elements and aspects that I desire in my circle. If you don’t know one, then you can pray from the heart.

We put it in the bowl and let the fire spirits consume the paper. Then visualize the fire spirits taking it out on the ethers for manifestation. Then we start our ‘give away’ prayers the same way. We ask our ancestors since all ways and for always to witness what we are intending to give away in this ceremony. Then we light that prayer. I am from the old school which interprets that if the piece of paper burns right up the prayers will be answered, if not, there might be a challenge to the prayer. So if your paper does not burn right up, your wish may not come true. At least not right away. There is something blocking it. It is your job to figure that out.
After we all go around with our prayers, we thank all the powers, elements and all whom we invited in for their help. We open the circle. The burning bowl has been a powerful part of my monthly full moon circle. One 13-year-old girl manifested a puppy, and a horse among other things with this prayer ceremony. That is powerful intending!
It has been a great way for us to really focus on what we want to accomplish in the month ahead and banish any quality that might hamper us from doing it. For more ideas see my web site at www.ghostqueen.com

All I ask is that you include this complete blurb: From Dallas, TX MarVeena Meek publishes her Ghost Queen E-zine each week with hints and tips on paranormal and spiritual teachings.

If you feel like you have been hitting your head against a brick wall and life is turned against you this a good article for you. Karmic relationships are created by our souls to help us make good on a situation we participated in another life time. We might have hurt another person in some way and here we are in this life time being hurt for reasons we can’t explain. Perhaps there is a reason that started before we were born.

Below is a check list to help you process karma with intent. Any thing that we do willing is easier for us to move through. We may still have difficulty but at least we are making an attempt to right any wrongs.

1. Each morning create an intention to be aware of unconsciously or consciously of individuals you have out standing debt with. You can get this info through your dreams or by meditating.

2. Meditate with your guides and ask them to help you have some clues as to who they are and what sort of pain and suffering you might have caused them in the past.

3. Create an intention to connect to your highest guardian angel and then to their highest guardian angel. Ask their highest guardian angel how you can make up for any pain and suffering you caused them with intention or not.

4. Make a list of all the individuals you think you have debt with. Only meditate on one a day. Maybe even one a week. Some times it takes a while to actually get a response and be in a position to apologize to their soul and let that piece go.

5. Reflect on this life time and any one you might have disappointed or hurt either intentionally or not.
Again connect to their highest guardian angel through your for a talk. Speak your heart, then give them time to “speak” theirs. How did the pain you caused carry through in their life? How has this pain affected them to this day?
Ask them if they can forgive you. If not ask what can you do now to make up to them.

6. If it is reasonable try to do it.

When you have paid your debts this life time and other life times it is easier to be in balance and harmony. Your relationships are more dharmic than karmic. Which is a lot more joyful!

Since I live on a ranch we are always having different little animals come around. My teacher taught me that each animal offers a different lesson or teaching. When you see an animal and it really gets your attention, the universe is trying to tell me something. Today the creature that “got” my attention was the bumble bee.
The teaching around it is that the bumble bee is not really aero dynamically able to fly. The body is bigger than the wings. No one told the bumble bee this, since it doesn’t know it can’t fly it fly’s any way. What I take away from this is don’t let other people tell you that you can’t dream. Dream anyway!
Today is busy with readings and keeping my ranch hand in supplies.
