Releasing Contracts in the Womb

What you will need:

  • A piece of Black Obsidian
  • White Fir essential oil
  • A white candle
  • Bowl of Rosewater, or spring water and rose petals
  • A sacred veil (a piece of fabric that is associated with healing)

Consciously chose a time and a place to do this holy work. Full moons are a great time to do this banishing work, and so are the eves of any auspicious days. Make yourself a comfortable nest where you can lie down or sit up cross-legged upon the ground. Turn your screens off, and tune in to the natural world. Feel into your feminine nature, your masculine drive, the purity of your inner child, and the luminescence of your soul. All these aspects meet in you, as you.

When you have a sense that you have gathered yourself together, let's begin.

Light the candle and place at your left side, and the bowl of rosewater at your right side. Place a drop or two of White Fir into your palm as you dab under your nostrils and onto your third eye. Or you can place some in an oil burner making sure the aroma is close to you. Come into a peaceful state as you take the piece of black obsidian and slowly move it across your lower abdomen. Take your time to feel into the body, sensing where your ancestral contracts may be stored. Ask the fragrance of the White Fir to guide you, to be the pathway of healing. As you tune into your intuitive self, you will get a 'hunch', feeling or sensation in the body/mind to signal to you - 'here'.

Take your time with the obsidian, go slow, navigate deeply, gift yourself the loving responsibility to thoroughly seek out the energies stored in your womb.

Once you have located your contract, stop there and sink into that place. Open up to any bodily wisdom that may be revealing itself in that place. Breathe deeply, allowing your breath and the white fir to get into this part of the body that you have discovered. Use your breath to create space and opening in and around this location.

Start to gather your sovereign self, your strength and authority to guide your own life in the direction that you chose. When you get a sense of that, you can say (or in your own words):

"I Am Sovereign, I Am Free, and I Am One with my Sacred Origins (and feel that to be true). Now is the time I Am choosing to release and render this contract void and obsolete. I Am no longer carrying this ancestral contract, and I sever all hooks into the drama and dynamic that this once created. I clear and release all emotional residue's within me now and throughout all time and space."

Take a deep breath and as you inwardly gather the contract and imagine it forming into a black ball of swirling smoke, and then exhale as you push the black ball into the piece of obsidian that is up above on the surface of the body ready to absorb it.

When this is done, immediately put the obsidian into the bowl of rosewater, and cover it over with your sacred veil.

Feel how the contract has been sealed within the obsidian, and the rose water is melting it down into the no-thing-ness. Realise that the power of compassion and grace is doing all this good work. Allow yourself to rest...

When you feel ready, take your bowl to the place where it will spend the night in the moonlight of the Full Moon.

In the morning retrieve your cleansed piece of black obsidian as you pour the rosewater upon the ground as a sacred offering of immense gratitude and joyfulness.

For you are now free.
