to do is get into a very spiritual state of mind and to relax the body so that during
any ritual work, one is not worried about their aching body from a long day. This way,
one keeps a clear and focused mind set on the ritual to be performed. If you are having
trouble sleeping, this ritual can be performed to help relax all parts of your body so you
can have a nice, deep sleep. This ritual also helps bridge the gap between the
subconscious and conscious mind by quieting the ego voice.


Start off by finding a place where you will not be disturbed by anything or
anyone. Either sitting up with a good posture or lying down are acceptable positions for
this ritual.


Begin by visualizing a ball of bright yellow energy. Feel it as a warm, soothing,
and comforting ball of energy. One important side note is not to think of this ball as just
a simple ball of energy. Think of it as the sun or the Golden Dawn rising up into the
new day, bringing forth to the earth new life, vitality, and light. Feel this ball slowly
enveloping your feet. Feel its warmth beginning to relax your feet, taking away all
tension and aches from all parts of your feet. Feel them completely relaxed. Feel every
muscle in your foot without pain or aches, just completely relaxed.


Now start to bring the ball slowly up your ankles and the bottom of your legs.
Feel the warmth taking away all aches and pains from your ankles and legs. They are
completely relaxed. Now feel it moving up to the thigh area, then to the waist, making
all areas it touches feel relaxed. Continue to do this throughout your entire body. Move
the ball up to your stomach, chest, neck, and end at your head.


If at any point in this ritual you begin to feel an area of your body starting to feel
tense, or coming out of its relaxed state, direct the ball to that area and feel it becoming
relaxed again. You might want to leave it there for a few moments to ensure that the
feeling stays.


After your entire body is relaxed, take a few moments to feel it. Feel every
muscle in every part of your body fully relaxed. Your mind is relaxed. Any thoughts of
work, the kids, or the mundane world do not make a difference. Now take a few
breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth, as in the Four Fold Breath.
Slowly rise and begin to do your ritual work.
