Responsible Guilt

Guilt is a sort of bond which holds us back from moving on with our lives.  This is not a life-affirming feeling.  Not only can guilt play upon the mind, but it can also manifest itself physically.  All ancient healing techniques teach the correlation of spirit, mind and body.  When left unnoticed, spiritual and emotional hurts may surface as a sickness or even disease.  Much has been written regarding these manifestations.  Google "spiritual meaning of illness", and you'll see what I'm talking about.  The whole subject is very fascinating.  Modern medicine teaches us to ascertain the source of our illness, so that proper treatment can be applied.  Here, we are approaching it from a metaphysical standpoint.  For example, feeling unloved can often lead to heart problems.  Feeling as though your life is going nowhere can lead to leg or feet related issues.  There's so much more, but let's move on to what you can do now about any guilt that may have been dealt to you or even self-inflicted.
Light a white candle to signify the presence of Spirit and place it on a table in a dimly lit room.  In front of the candle, place a mirror.  Make sure the mirror is big enough that you see your whole face reflected.  As you read the incantation below, pause and think about what the words are saying. Look at your reflection.  Can you see the pain, the hurt, the isolation that this silly emotional response has created?  Now feel a total release from this bond of guilt, experience the relief, let out a big sigh and smile.
When you have finished with your cleansing, extinguish the candle and return to your normal tasks.  Don't entertain any thought of it from this moment on.

Filled with guilt but serves me nought

The heart aches what hands have wrought

The deed is done with great remorse

But hearts erred not from the original source

So with love and joy now be replaced

And let old patterns be erased

From soul and mind, from heart and spleen

Be washed.  Be Free.  Be clean.  Be clean.

Purified of all my past, only love within me last.

Note:  The last line, "Purified of all..." can be used whenever you feel a need to clear any emotional baggage.  Simply chant the whole last line over and over, until you feel released.

All Blessings Be.  )O(
