August 2025 our word of the month is Purification. When I just now focused on this word, I immediately remember being a child and running in the rain. In fact, the instant that it would start to rain, I would make a mad dash out the door to lift my arms up and feel that water flowing over me. Then I would twirl around and around in a kind of wild rain dance. My family tried every way they could think of to keep me from going out into rain storms. They were worried about lightning strikes. My uncle even tried to cure me of this by threatening to use an electric cattle prod on me to stop me. But nothing worked. I just found sneakier ways to be out in a storm. They always seemed to revive me.

Looking back at this now, as an adult, I realize that what I was doing was a kind of spontaneous “purification ritual.” When I was a child there was a substantial amount of family trauma in my life, some of it was fairly severe. I believe that my sojourns into those downpours were a subconscious way of purifying the angst that I was experiencing. I was enacting what all of our ancestors understood. They knew that the power of water could purify and heal us. 

Water has been used since the earliest of times for purification and cleansing. Ancient people used water in purification ceremonies because it worked. If there is an emotion or situation that is clogging your energy or if you are at a turning point in your life, consider doing a purification ceremony with water. It works!

It can be as simple as misting yourself with water that you have infused with essential oils, or it can be more elaborate, such as immersing yourself in water surrounded by candles, essential oils and spoken blessings, or plunging into cold water with the intent of clearing your energy field. You should immediately notice a difference.

As I’m writing to you I’ve just returned from Costa Rica during its raining season. The rain pounded so hard, while we were there that you couldn’t hear the person next to you. Before we left, people said, “Why would you ever go during the raining season?”  But honestly, it just felt right to do so.  But once I was there, I realized that, as I am at a turning point in my life, the thunderous rains were purifying my auric field so the path ahead could become clearer. It felt right.

With my blessings,

Denise
