Theosophical Society healing ritual

Leader: Let us relax the physical body....quiet the emotions...still the mind....harmonize our consciousness with that of the group as a whole....Let us dedicate ourselves to the service of the One Life, that through this pro-offered channel, the Healing Power may flow.

(Chalice is placed into view and unveiled.)

Let this symbol symbolize for us the purpose of the Group as a Living Vessel of service. (Put intensions in cup)

silence...Let us now try to realize that our group is getting enclosed within the sphere of pure white light....and link up with other groups. We send out our good thoughts to all societies that work for the welfare of children, the aged, the infirm and the sick of mind body and spirit.

Recite together: Lord of the depths and the heights, who dwellest in all forms which thou hast made, abide thou with the souls who seek the light. Sustain them with thy life. Comfort them with thy love. Please guide them to the light of the risen life. Om Om Om Om

Invocation to the Healing Devas

Hail, Devas of the healing art. Come to our aid.

Pour forth your healing life into this chalice.

Let every cell be charged anew with vital force.

To every nerve give peace. Let tortured sense be soothed

May the rising tide of life set every limb aglow, As by your healing power both soul and body are restored.

Leave with each an angel watcher to comfort and protect, till health returns or life departs.

That he may ward away all ill, May hasten the returning strength Or lead to peace when life is done.

Hail Devas of the Healing Art. Come to our aid, And share with us the labors of this earth. That God may be set free in man,. Om Om Om Om Om

Short silence

Collect for animal welfare

Oh great Being whose care and living kindness are over all they creation, breathe into us the spirit of compassion and tenderness towards all creatures of the animal kingdom, for you have also breathed into them their indwelling life. May we see all animals as our special trust. May we realize our duties of stewardship toward them. We especially ask intercession for (name your special animals; your pets or perhaps a whole endangered species of animals).................................

We here note the serious dangers which face our planet at this time. May all our brothers and sisters who share this globe with us at this moment in history....come to realize and cherish their special stewardship and walk gently on the face of our Great Mother, taking no more than they need and restoring where they must, so that future generations might also be nourished by its resources. (Om x 5)

All recite the Hidden Life Invocation

Oh hidden life vibrant in every atom,

Oh hidden light shining in every creature

Oh hidden love embracing all in oneness

May each who feels himself as one with thee know he is therefore one with every other.

Shanti! Shanti! Shanti! Om Om Om
