Take Care of Your Elders Before They Are Ancestors

Today was a powerful, beautiful experience. I had the opportunity to spiritually cleanse one of my elder's homes today. This was a big deal for me because growing up in the South, the majority of families are Christian and are super reluctant to any spiritual practice outside of Christianity. 

My elder had been complaining about having night terrors and anxiety. I told them about energy and how important it is to cleanse and protect your temple, especially when you have high volume traffic coming in and out of your space. I was so happy at how receptive they were. 

I made a spiritual wash and a fixed candle. I recited prayers, petitions and used herbs. I combined Conjure and Hoodoo. I opened the windows and doors and played harmonic frequency using my sound bowl. 

At the end of the cleansing they sat with me and allowed me to give them a reading. This was a monumental moment for me and my bloodline. The student became the teacher today. Don’t let age fool you. Sometimes the oldest member in your family was the youngest in another lifetime and you were the elder so always be receptive to knowledge no matter the age. 

I truly felt my full purpose today. I was being of service to my elder and I made their temple sacred again. My message is we are always willing to create ancestors altars but we can sometimes forget about the living elders that are present. Bring them food, look after them and spend time with them.
