The White Stone Ceremony is the perfect complement to the Burning Bowl and a wonderful boost to get started on setting an intention for what the new year could bring. It is an invitation to listen to Spirit within and discern a message bearing the “new name” to be worked with throughout the year. This is a wonderfully intuitive process. Not about thinking or wishing, it’s about knowing and trusting we are being guided by Spirit within to aspire to the highest expression of our divinity. Writing the new name on the white stone is a declaration of faith that we are foremost spiritual beings and an important reminder that we do not undertake our worldly changes and challenges alone. With a new name—strength, power, change, or anything else that comes to us—we can greet the new year with an inner fortitude that mere human willpower cannot match.
