Pawful Story

Ceremonial Healing:

Maya, Female Cat

Age: unknown – around 7 or 8 years

21 May 2023

Ceremonial support:

 

Using the power of ritual, positive symbolic actions and clear intention to invoke a specific outcome.

We direct energy to manifest healing or hold space for an animal.

Ceremonial healing is a powerful, beautiful and easy healing tool.

Various ceremonial tools can be used such as:

Crystals, candles, incense, flowers, mantras, coloured cloths, essential oils

 

We performed ceremonial healing for Maya. The objective was to help Maya let go of the trauma she suffered by being kicked out of her home and being left to fend for herself outside and for harmony to prevail in the apartment building and for her to not be afraid ever.

Tools:

​

  • Kuan Yin, as a goddess of compassion, forgiveness, and sacrifice, was often represented by symbols that were also associated with compassion, empathy, and forgiveness.

 

  • Clear quartz - to clear negative energies or entities, align the chakras – shock of being thrown out of the building and taking 10 days to find her way back home

 

  • Rose Quartz – for use in easing trauma to comfort and heal any wounds the heart has suffered

 

  • Amethyst to counteract negative earth energies beneath buildings or anywhere that feels hostile – her anger towards the neighbour – also relieves stress and anxiety

 

  • Black Tourmaline honours Bastet, Goddess of Cats - it is for purification and cleansing the emotional body of negative thoughts, anxieties, anger.

Bastet was the goddess of protection, pleasure, and the bringer of good health. She had the head of a cat and a slender female body.

 

Bastet was the daughter of Ra, sister of Sekhmet, the wife of Ptah, and the mother of Mihos. Since the Second Dynasty, Bastet was worshipped as a deity, most commonly in Lower Egypt. Her form and powers changed over the years.

 

It was believed that every day she would ride through the sky with her father, the sun god Ra. As his boat pulled the sun through the sky she would watch over and protect him. At night, she would turn into a cat to protect Ra from his greatest enemy, the serpent Apep.

 

Due to her protective duties, she was nicknamed the Lady of the East, Goddess of the Rising Sun, and the Sacred and All-Seeing Eye. She is also known as the Goddess of the Moon and was thought to be the eye of the moon and the eye of Ra. Bastet is still worshipped today and her protection is believed by some to be cast over modern cats.​

  • Emerald – alleviates heaviness, and nourished the aura with an energy of hope, encouragement, gentleness and abundance

  • Muladhara candle (root chakra) – grounding to counter fear and anger -  Inner peace is a feeling we all deserve to have. It’s in a candle holder with mirrors to enhance the energy

  • Green bowl for healing with a Nag Champa dhoop cone

  • Feathers are symbols of freedom, truth and wisdom – I used the feather to wave the energy from the chakra candle and the nag Champa. The little one is one I found in my garden yesterday morning so I added it

  • Guardian angel and angel message for creating a bridge where others can walk and an environment of giving and accepting

  • Orange oil on my stone diffuser – good for relaxation and reduces any symptom of anxiety and depression

Mantra and prayer:

 

Om Shanti Shanti Shanti”

 

Om means creation. Shanti, on the other hand, translates to peace. This Sanskrit mantra is a message to the universe, to a person or animal, or to one’s self to create a space for peace.

 

I did a voice recording explaining the tools I used and the mantra and sent it to Maya’s Guardian. I repeated the healing with intention every day for a week.
