Sacred Release Ceremony

Make Sacred Space

Light a candle. Let its flame or glow anchor you in this present moment.

Breathe, allow the outside world to dim and settle into stillness.

Call forward your guides, ancestors, your highest self, your intuition. Invite in whatever supportive presence feels right for you.

Clear the Way

Take one sheet of paper and write freely about anything you’re ready to detach from, to release, to no longer carry—physically, energetically, emotionally.

Prompts to consider:
Am I still holding onto shame, anger, worry, fear, or someone else’s energy?
What expectations do I wish to release?
Am I focused on what someone else needs or needs to do, instead of focusing on myself?
Is there old grief or sadness that I can release to the universe?
What am I willing to no longer carry?
What is weighing on me? Are these real, perceived, made bigger by my worry?

Write and don’t edit yourself. Let it flow.

The Release

Write a statement of what you are willing and ready to offer back for transmutation.

Examples—pick one or make your own:

I allow __________

I release __________

I let flow __________

I let go __________

I soften around __________

If you can safely do so, burn the paper of what you no longer want to carry. Watch as the fire transforms it, releasing it back to the elements.

Closing

Share gratitude for your guides and release all. Give thanks for this time and reflection, for yourself, the wisdom that came through, the courage to release and the clarity to move forward.

Write yourself a message to carry with you:

                                                                                    .

Extinguish your candle when you’re ready.
