To replenish, uplift, cleanse, welcome, give, embody, and release the spirit of the romantic scales, practice the following ritual and guided meditation.

In astrology, Libra is associated with the lower back and glute muscles. These areas of the body are ruled by the lower chakras.

To prevent blocked or overly active lower chakras. It would be best to frequently express your creativity, live from your inner truth, honor the sacred dance of sex, practice lower back yoga poses like cat/cow, cobra, child’s pose, downward-facing dog, and standing forward bend, and eat root vegetables like beets, kale, carrots, radishes, purple potatoes, etc. to help you stay grounded. 

To begin the ritual, go to a quiet zen place. Sit or lay quietly. Get centered. Breathe deeply. Connect with your subtle body. Tune into the vibration of your chakras. Now focus your awareness on your sacral, root, and Solar chakras. Gently raise this awareness to flow effortlessly through your crown and heart.

For those seeking creativity and self-healing envision the colors orange, red, and yellow. For those seeking forgiveness and self-love, envision the colors purple, blue, and green.

Now Breathe deeply into your heart center and pelvic floor. Practice taking deep breaths on the count of four. Breathing into the count of four, breathing out to the count of four. Do this two or three times.

When you are ready, say the following aloud: 

“Today, Creator of the Universe, I ask that you help me to accept myself just the way I am, without judgment.  Help me to accept my mind the way it is, with all my emotions, my hopes and dreams, my personality, my unique way of being.  Help me to accept my body just the way it is, with all its beauty and perfection. Let the love I have for myself be so strong that I never again reject myself or sabotage my happiness, freedom, and love.”

“From now on, let every action, every reaction, every thought, and every emotion, be based on love.  Help me, Creator, to increase my self-love until the entire dream of my life is transformed, from fear and drama to love and joy.  Let the power of my self-love be strong enough to break all the lies I was programmed to believe–all the lies that tell me I am not good enough, or strong enough, or intelligent enough, that I cannot make it.  Let the power of my self-love be so strong that I no longer need to live my life according to other people’s opinions.  Let me trust myself completely to make the choices I must make.  With my self-love, I am no longer afraid to face any responsibility in my life or face any problems and resolve them as they arise.  Whatever I want to accomplish, let it be done with the power of my self-love.”

Now slowly and with total awareness, send your energy (breath) into your lower back, sciatic nerve, and spine. Feel your back body filling with divine golden light, radiating through your skin as if it was translucent. As if you were a human ball of extraordinary golden light.

Now do the same thing with your heart and crown chakra. Feel your heart and higher mind filling with divine golden light, radiating through your skin as if it was translucent. You are a divine manifestation of eternal light.

When you are ready, gently come back into your body and do this simple 10-minute breathwork meditation.

Once you are done with the meditation, light three candles. The number three represents the marriage of the higher and lower self, inner and outer self, and light and dark self-evolving as one.  

Arrange them in a triangle or open circle. Visualize the energy freely surging between them. 

When you are ready, say the following aloud: 

“With this new power in my heart, the power of self-love, let me transform every relationship I have, beginning with the relationship I have with myself.  Help me to be free of any conflict with others.  Let me be happy to share my time with my loved ones and to forgive them for any injustice I feel in my mind.  Help me to love myself so much that I forgive anyone who, I feel, has ever hurt me in my life.”

“Give me the courage to love my family and friends unconditionally, and to change my relationships in the most positive and loving way.  Help me to create new channels of communication in my relationships so there is no war of control, there is no winner or loser.  Together let us work for love, for joy, for harmony.”

“Let my relationships with my family and friends be based on respect and joy so that I no longer have the need to tell them how to think or how to be.  Let my romantic relationship be the most wonderful relationship; let me feel joy every time I share myself with my partner.  Help me to accept others just the way they are, without judgment, because when I reject them, I reject myself.  When I reject myself, I reject you.”

Now slowly begin to add one candle or crystal for each person you consider a part of your inner healing circle until it’s complete. If you are focusing on a divine partnership, just add two candles. One for your partner and one for self. If you are looking to heal or expand your connection to self, add one candle representing your soul force energy. 

If you go the tribe or family circle route, make sure you designate a candle to place in the center of your circle to represent yourself. Add this candle last. 

If you feel called, you can smudge them with a flower wand or any type of floral resin. 

If not, briefly focus your awareness on each candle and send them love. If there is any tension between you and this person, you can say what you have to say and wrap your message in a body of light.

 If you feel called, you can lovingly send this light message to them, and it will be left to their higher self whether they choose to receive it or not. Just make sure you send good intentions. Never use the magic of light to harm. 

When you are ready to close, gently hold the awareness on the candle that signifies your essence. Send yourself whatever you need in the moment, or if you feel called, see yourself as a ray of healing for others to mirror. Just make sure that this energy exchange is healthy. You cannot save anyone. Do this for at least 5 minutes. 

Now gently blow out each candle or remove each crystal until the initial three candles are still remaining.

Close your ritual by saying the following aloud:

 “Today is a new beginning.  Help me to start my life over beginning today with the power of self-love.  Help me to enjoy my life, to enjoy my relationships, to explore life, to take risks, to be alive and to no longer live in fear of love.  Let me open my heart to the love that is my birthright.  Help me to become a Master of Gratitude, Generosity, and Love so that I can enjoy all of your creations forever and ever.  And so it is.”
