Here you are,
Ready to begin a journey.
This is a beautiful time for a ritual,
To create a sacred container for this time of travel.
Whenever we get away from our usual environment,
There's an opportunity to grow and expand.
And setting a sacred container is an opportunity to use your divine feminine power to speak intentions,
To tune into what is wanting to come through inside of you,
And to create a space in the ethers,
In your energy field,
For this to come to fruition.
And as you create the sacred container,
You are learning the universe,
The energy around you,
That this is what you are seeking to attract.
Opportunities,
People,
Resources within,
The intentions that you set in the sacred container.
And so to begin this ritual,
Take a few deep breaths.
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
In through the nose,
Out through the mouth.
In through the nose,
And out through the mouth.
Now take some time to reflect on your intentions.
You're going to write intentions and outcomes,
And these are distinct.
Intentions are the energy you're calling forth,
The space you're creating,
The ways you want to feel.
These aren't goals or specific directions.
Examples of intentions for a trip or retreat include listening to my heart,
Following and trusting my visions,
Being present.
Now tune into your intentions.
What is it that your heart is desiring during this time?
You might place a hand on your heart and tune in.
Pause this recording while you take all the time you need and then write down your intentions in your journal.
The next step is to write your desired outcomes.
Here you do say the direction you want to go,
Areas you want clarity,
What it is that you desire,
That you are feeling inside of yourself is being called forth at this time.
Outcomes could be requests for a clear vision in a particular area.
You might ask for a question to be answered.
Or call upon something specific to happen,
Like the opening of your creative flow.
Place your hand on your heart,
Close your eyes.
Take some time to tune into your desired outcomes.
Trust what comes through you and listen for what feels joyful and aligned and ripe.
Don't let this be wishful thinking.
Let it be what truly feels is ready.
Pause this recording while you take a few minutes with yourself.
And then the third part of this ritual.
Bring out your oracle cards.
Ask for wisdom about this journey.
A favorite reading you can do here is the three card spread.
Where the first card is the present and what's happening now,
The second card is the guided action,
And the third card is the future that is opening through this wisdom.
Oracle cards are calling forth the oracle inside of you.
The reading will feel affirming.
Whatever cards come through will tap the wisdom of what has already been showing up for you.
Go ahead,
Say a blessing,
Make a request,
Shuffle your cards,
And choose or allow to fall out three cards in those positions.
And then pause this recording and come back.
Welcome back.
You've created a sacred container for your travels.
You have intentions,
Desired outcomes,
And you now have wisdom of how to be in flow around the container you've set.
Know that inside your trip,
These are going to be in flow.
And sometimes we set intentions or desired outcomes that may last beyond our travels.
So be sure to keep any journaling you've done handy so you can reference back to it later.
We're going to close this ritual with a blessing,
Speaking a prayer over what you have created here,
And then releasing and letting it go.
Go ahead and close your eyes.
You can place your hands in a prayer position at your heart or place them in your lap,
Face up or face down.
We call in angels,
Spirit guides,
The inner divine teacher,
Holy Spirit,
Mother,
Father,
Goddess,
Knowing that we are in oneness with this greater universe and our source.
As we call upon this divine love,
We remember that we are the universe and all the answers are within.
We remember that we are tuned into our needs and the needs of those around us.
We remember that unconditional love is a healing power,
And so we give that to ourselves first and foremost now.
We take a moment and share it out into the world.
These divine intentions,
Outcomes,
And the wisdom of the oracle cards is all offered and created in love.
We trust and know that what is in the highest good is what will occur.
And so we release and let go of any expectations,
But trust that through our power,
Through the will of God and the universe,
That love prevails,
That such beauty will flow from the sacred container that was created here and now.
And so we seal this container with the peace in our hearts.
And we send it out into the ethers to call forth our divine partners,
Resources,
Support systems,
Knowing that there are aligned partners to be a part of this container with us,
And that in our oneness,
We bring forth positive change in the world,
Cultivating love,
Peace,
Inclusivity,
And harmony.
Amen.
And so it is.
