Instead of beckoning 2011 with new year resolutions I am making 2011 wishes. Wishes are powerful means to transform your dreams and desires into intentions. I think it is important to take the time to honor life's passages with a ritual. For example, a wedding is a ritual in which two separate beings vow to come together as one to love and honor each other. A birthday party is a ritual to celebrate the day you were born. So why not make a ritual to usher positive changes into the new year? I am going to make three wishes because it is a manageable number and I believe it is a powerful number in the human psyche (the story of the genie granting three wishes, Goldilocks and the THREE bears, Past, Present and Future etc.)Recently a friend of mine shared with me a fun and simple ritual for making wishes. Here is what she told me to do:
Take a moment to think about your hearts deepest desires
Write them down on a piece of paper
Light a candle
Read your wishes out loud.
Plant a seed for each wish. Literally, take three seeds, three pots and plant a seed in each pot to represent the wish you've made. You could even label each pot "new job" or "true love" or whatever it is you are wishing for.
Give thanks to the Universe or God or whoever it is you pray to, for granting these wishes that you KNOW are on their way to you now.
Blow out the candle.
Watch your seedlings grow and your wishes come true!
The concept behind Flutter Elopements is a achieving a balance between celebrating a meaningful day with the one you love, without compromising a meaningful life by spending your hard-earned cash on an expensive wedding. The topics I blog about on Flutter Inspired, are inspired by the values shared by those with the romantic and pioneering spirit of adventure that Flutter captures. The Flutter Elopement bride and groom are hip, smart, adventurous, fun, forward-thinking and don't give a toss what anyone else thinks. I invite kindred spirits to join me on this adventure as I explore an Eco-lifestyle, becoming a healthy beauty, paying homage to the inner princess, creating an inspired home and discovering inspiring faces, places and things. Welcome to Flutter Inspired!
