After you have completed your releasing ceremony( i.e. Burning Bowl) and have released that which no longer serves you, you now have a clean slate.The white stone ritual is based on the scripture, Revelation 2:17 which reads" He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches:To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that recieveth it.
In ancient times when a person was released from prison, they were given a new name. The white stone represents the na name change that one receives when an obstacle is overcome. The bible demonstrates many name changes but one well known example is when Abram grew into spiritual awareness, he became Abraham. Name also refers to the nature of things. Your new name could be the nature of forgiveness, prosperity, gratitude, health etc.
Performing Your White Stone Ceremony
For the White Stone Ceremony you will need
- white stone or tile
- paper
- pencil
- candle
- soft music to set the mood
The ceremony begins with a period of meditation. During this meditation allow yourself to release any thoughts of lack and limitation. Become still, focus on your breath and ask Spirit to reveal the new name or nature to embodied for the year. Don't force it, just let it flow naturally. When you feel comfortable and you believe your name has been revealed to you, write it on your stone and your piece of paper. Give thanks to Spirit for what has been revealed. Place your stone and your paper in a place where you will see it daily.
Now you have been given a clean slate. You have the power of Spirit to love more fully and conciously with this symbol of new beginnings. Your white stone will serve as a reminder that you have the gift of choice and the ability to connect and co-create with Spirit.
Many Blessings to you! Happy New Year
