It can be tragic when someone we care about passes from our lives. The emotional wounds left behind can weep for so long you might think they will never heal. The process of a funeral is to help us move on through the symbolic act of letting go. But sometimes it doesn't help as much as it should. When you feel ready, why not have your own private ceremony.
Go to a private place, outside or inside. If you are inside try to have at least one window open.Lay out a nice comfy blanket and place a fire proof bowl on one side, a bowl of dried tobacco or rosemary beside it, and a lighter. Sit down on your blanket and simply allow yourself to remember your loved one. After a few minutes place a few dried herbs in the fireproof bowl and light them. Blow out the flame gently and allow it to smoke. Add more herbs a little at a time to continue to smoke. Re-light if the smoking stops. Place the bowl by the window so the smoke can move out into the world (if you are outside there is no need for this step). Sit back and have a conversation with your loved one, one sided, and tell them everything you need them to know. Sing, cry, and let out the feelings within your heart. When you feel ready, close your eyes and see your loved one surrounded in white light. Feel that they are going to be all right, and so are you. Thank them for the lessons they have taught you, including this one and allow them from your life.
