I'm a little late to the party, but this ritual was pretty good.
Nothing much happened during the ritual itself. I didn't have much in the way of experiences or feelings. I felt relaxed though. Soothed.
I was tired afterwards though, so I decided to take a quick nap. I didn't even expect I'd fall asleep, but just sort of shut my eyes and relax. I fell asleep and I had a dream that I think is important and relates to spirituality.
I was outside in this beautiful area of town and there was this store that was called something like Awakening, or something similar that started with an O. I wish I could remember. It's packed with people and I'm looking at things to buy. It's a New Age/Pagan supply store and they seem to have everything.
This woman calls me over, and I feel like I know her, but I don't. She sits me down and asks me why I'm there, and I start telling her about the depression, the jewellery, the co-dependency, and she started to gather supplies for me. We only got through one issue because then my alarm went off.
To me it says I need to use my spirituality to help me with all of these issues.
My sister found "opening" as a synonym for "awakening." It's definitely closer, but I'm still not sure if it's right. She also suggested this means I should look into complimentary therapy as well. I really like that, and I thin it's really fitting for this dream. I think it is a good idea to look into. I can carry around stones and herbs, aromatherapy, Reiki, reflexology. Anything.
