Blessing Spells

[Medusa @ Dawn]

Thought I'd get an idea of how everyone else sends positive energy out.

Here's a recent working of mine with names and locations left out.

Large (I tend to reuse this often) light blue candle (for peace):
carved with anthame the words:

Joy
Clarity
Love
Peace
Strength
Harmony

initials of the person to receive the blessings and their location
"This I send to thee"

incense burning

water from my location poured into my chalice
water from their location poured into my chalice
a quartz crystal taken from my old staff placed into chalice
for clarity of thought and emotions

I tend to not say anything out loud but focus my intent and energies while I'm doing my workings. I've always been paranoid about people listening in and making comments so I've found the silent method best for me.

So - would anyone else care to share how you work?
I'd like to get some other ideas...

I just light a large white candle set aside for blessings and spend a few moments praying for blessings for the person. I guess I like it quite simple :)

A lot of the time I'll feel that a person has almost an immediate need of a blessing of sorts, and 9 times out of 10 I'm nowhere near my candles or inscense or anything, so I give what I've come to call "psychic hugs". Actually, they seem to work just as good for me, if not better. Its sort of hard to explain how I do it, so pardon me if this comes off sounding a bit hokey. I'll imagine the person (or look at them if they're within eyeshot) and sort of project the most calming and reassuring part of myself that I possibly can toward them in the form of a sort of lighted aura-type thing. I then direct it to surround them as a calming, reassuring, protecting force for as long as they need it. I started doing this years ago and now its almost a reflex sometimes, whereas I'll do it without thinking. A friend of mine commented to me once that I "must have some sort of special way to make people feel better about things or something" because they'd observed that they could be freaking out all day and as soon as they'd talked to me or been around me for a few minutes they felt better. To be honest, sometimes I'd consciously do something and other times I wouldn't. I don't necessarily see myself being a naturally calming force as I've got to be, by nature, one of the most uptight people you'll ever meet, but there must be something...

Anyway, there I go rambling again...

I send Reiki energy along with blessings. I have a small wooden box that I've cleansed and charged and place the names of persons in need of healing or energy in it. I keep the box on my altar and use a white candle into which I've carved appropriate runes.

For immediate needs, I send energy from my third eye, visualizing the person, when the altar and props are not handy.
