I am so grateful to have connected with "Spiritual Experience Tours" the best hosts of any that I have ever attended; very thorough and truly cares about everyone, so I will be sure to go to any of their events in the future. I really enjoyed myself and met some new friends that have made a dramatic impact on my life for the better!

This trip was truly a life changing experience for me. Words can not express the deep graditude I feel for the time I was able to share with my new friends in Cancun. I feel very blessed. We went to the Mayan Pyramids and I went swimming right there on the site. The purity felt within the water was the most elation I can ever recall feeling in this life. I could fill a book with my experiences, transformations, healings, connections, and syncronicities that took place during my week.

Wesak Blessings and Crystal Ceremony

Wesak is a festival which takes place in the Himalayas at the full moon of May. It is said that at this festival, at which many spiritual beings are present, along with the Buddha, for a brief period, renews his touch and association with the work of our planet. It celebrates the life and birth of Gautama Buddha in Buddhist cultures and all around the world. Celebrating Wesak also means making special efforts to bring happiness to the unfortunate like the aged, the handicapped and the sick, as well as to practice morality, simplicity and humility and invoke peace within and without.

A good friend of ISE, Allayah, has shared this way to celebrate Wesak and bring healing to the planet. There are many ways to be creative and celebrate this time.

Suggestions for a Wesak Full Moon Ritual

During the Wesak Festival there is an unusual inflow of Life and spiritual stimulation, which serves to vitalize the aspiration of all humanity. Occurring at the full moon in the sign of Taurus, this Festival is the annual high-water mark of spiritual blessing for the world. At this time the Forces of Enlightenment are available as a channel for communication between Humanity and Deity, which is opened. (See Significance of the Wesak to learn more.)

If at all possible, we suggest being in meditation at the exact time of the full moon. If you are unable to do this, choose a time within 12 hours before or after to align with these energies and be part of this global meditation. You may want to arrange for a physical group ritual that will be enhanced and empowered by those spiritual beings around the world participating in the Wesak Festival.

A variety of elements may be useful in celebrating the Wesak:

Invite participants to cleanse and purify prior to the ritual through a ritual herbal bath, purification meditation, and / or a walk in nature.

Sanctify the ritual space: saging, using incense, and playing reflective or uplifting recorded / live music.

Set the stage for connecting with the Group Soul with a dedicated altar and water ceremony:

You may want to create an altar that depicts the Wesak Legend. It could include figures representing the Buddha and the Christ, and a ceremonial bowl that is surrounded with rose quartz. This mineral is used to amplify the quality of Love-Wisdom; it is a symbol combining the Love of Christ and the Wisdom of the Buddha. You may also want to use a large quartz crystal to assist in attuning to the ceremony taking place in the Wesak Valley.

As part of the Wesak water ceremony, ritually pour spring water into the bowl. Gardenias may be added to the water for a special blessing, fragrance and taste. The water remains on the altar throughout the ritual and meditation. When the meditation is complete, the participants partake of the water in a communion ritual. Water that remains is now a Wesak charged tincture that can be bottled and taken home for future use by the participants.

Hallow the space and time with a group prayer, invocation, sacred sounds and / or singing a song.

Review SouledOut.org's Wesak Global Meditation and Alignment to create your own unique ceremony.

Listen to the audio version of the Wesak Legend, in preparation for and leading up to the Wesak meditation ... drinking the Wesak water after the meditation, as a holy communion (see group water ceremony above).

An individual may simply listen with a glass or vessel of water nearby, meditate and then drink of the infused Holy Water as a communion.

These elements may all be used or not, arranged and adapted to suit the needs and temperament of those participating in the ritual.

Many Blessings on Your Journey
