We made bags of sage, lavender, tobacco, and small strips of folded paper with containing all of the things I want to release from my life from 2011. So negativity doesn't come with into 2012.
On little papers write the things you want to release... They can be the release of anything: fear, control, jealousy, pain, loneliness - this is about you - you don't have to tell anyone what's on the paper. You can release your deepest darkest secrets and make room for the wonderful creative powers that are waiting for space in your psyche. Now is the time to forgive yourself .
Then you take this pouch and give up things to the fire. I believe this to be a very powerful releasing ceremony and therefore it will be.
Pixie Campbell has a great page on making Releasing Bundles. The page also includes some great releasing ideas: http://pixiecampbell.typepad.com/pink_coyote/2011/11/make-your-own-releasing-kit-instructions.html
In the words of Pixie: I'm seriously laughing as I write this because I feel so strongly about what we are capable of when we can alchemically transform:
Fear into Courage
Not Enoughness into Plenty
Old patterns of behavior into fresh responses and vulnerability
Anger into Cleansing Breath
Sorrow into Hope
Grief into Rebirth
Loneliness into Circle and Support
Disempowerment into Confident Action
Creative Dormancy into Full Expression
Superficiality into True Being
Masks into Love of What Really Is
Shortsightedness into Eagle's Vision
Limitations into Possibility
Projections into Conscious Ownership
Stuckness into Movement
Depression into Light
Bondage into Freedom
Control into a Loose, Flexible Grasp
Obsession into Letting It Be
Anxiety into Flow
Fragmentations into Wholeness
Duality into Oneness
Shame into Acceptance of the Processes of Life
Mistrust into Trust
Judgment into Allowing
