Discovering The Power Of Ceremony

by Teresa Brown

For thousands of years, prayer and ceremony have healed the sick, lifted the spirit, and released the soul. In the Western World, however, those wishing to find answers to life s most profound questions often choose to look outside themselves emphasizing the ego. It is my deepest hope that, through this little book, more people will come to understand that ceremony is a liberating and healing practice. Beyond the common uses of baptism, graduation, bah and bar mitzvahs, marriage, retirement, burial, and many others, ceremony can better a community, honor the Earth, and connect us to the cycle of life. The essence of ceremony, then, is quite basic: to heal the Self and to progress in life. You will be amazed at the results of ceremony when you let the process come from heartfelt love and caring. Simple ceremony with or without the presence of witnesses can truly be life altering. All you need is yourSelf and your intention to feel peace, happiness, and connection.
