The sacred spiral
The
Sacred Spiral
Have
you noticed how many times we see spirals & circles in everyday life?
They
are represented in almost all religions and in healing
practices...they are seen
on ancient stones from all civilizations, and they appeared to represent our
basic life force or energy.
In
Wicca, the spiral is used for dancing.... for spells and for invocations, as it
has been used in so many disciplines ever since man began...
In Reiki it is used in one of the main symbols...
..and in manifestation practices, it draws the energy from the outer spiral into the centre to magnify it.
Mazes
and labyrinths start at the outside and work inwards, albeit in a slightly more
complex way to the centre, and if you stop and think about it you will discover
symbols of spirals almost everywhere!
As
a guide to meditation, the spiral draws the energy from the outer circle around
and around, until it focuses it within the Centre thus stabilizing it and giving
it direction and purpose.
The
next time you wish to bring your attention to a certain point, either during a
meditation or during a manifestation of something that you need in your life,
then visualize a spiral,
Firstly
take your attention to the outer edge and slowly and deliberately follow the
line.... drawing in the energy tighter and tighter, and more concentrated until
it comes to the centre-point. At this point feel that you have connected
with what it is you wish to bring into your life... and if you have done this
with full intent and purpose, you will be amazed at how well it works!
