This meditation is geared toward releasing the day�s negative energies.  You will need a black and a white candle, a quartz crystal, a piece of jet, incense and soft music.  It is also a good idea to give yourself a good sage smudge before you start to purify your �space�.  I usually place a long pashmina scarf on the floor where I will be doing this (mainly to avoid the multitude of dog hairs that avoid the vacuum) and a neck-roll style pillow.  Start your soft music (see streaming music link in the menu), and light the candles.  As you do this you might say a few words about the bringing in of positive energy as you light the white candle, and protection and the absorption of negative energy as you light the black one. Light your incense and lay on the floor, placing the quartz above your head with the point facing your scalp and the jet between your ankles.  

Relax your body and your mind.  Imagine that the crystal above you is a flashlight pointed at your head.  The light shines on you, only it isn�t a tiny incandescent bulb, but rather a bright, powerful light full of peace.  It is so powerful that you can almost hear it buzzing.  Let it fill you from the top of your head and down your entire body.  Take as long as you need to do this.  Imagine that as the light is flowing into your body, it is pushing all the black negativity out. As the blackness exits through your ankles it is absorbed into the piece of jet.  

Once you feel that all the �blackness� has run out of you and into the stone, you may bring yourself back up into normal consciousness.  Relax a bit, drink some water and then take the jet to the kitchen sink, rinse it with cool, running water while chanting �I cleanse you� and put it away.  It is nice to have some relaxing chamomile tea after this to further concrete the peaceful feeling.

Thank you Seamonster I needed to find this today I am hoping it is enough to push out a years worth of negative energy.....thinking about it ...this would make a lovely evening meditation routine for me, I will keep you posted on how it works for me.

I just stumbled across this, seamonster, and it sounds wonderful!  I know what you mean about dog hairs, so will find something to sit on, as well!  

Thank you for sharing!  

I think this might go into my newest page...but would Rose Quartz work in place of Jet? Just wondering

If you use Rose Quartz, maybe you could visualize all of that negative energy being changed into a more love-oriented energy...very positive!  good thinking, Bramble!

^___^ I"m on a roll! ....speaking of that I want Sushi!

Had to google to find out what jet is.  It is definitely an exercise that I want to try.  Thanks, Seamonster.
