"Burning away" the negativity of the old year: getting ready for Losar (Tibetan New Year)
#TibetanNewYear (#Losar) is a time for reflection and for setting new intentions. A great way to start the New Year is by purifying any negativities from the old year, and you can do this by writing out all of the negativities from the old year on a piece of paper, then burning the paper in a ritual fire.
This ritual can help to clear out any negative energy, and it can also help to set the tone for a fresh start in the New Year. If you’re interested in performing this ritual, here are the steps:
1. Write out all of the negativities from the old year on a piece of paper.
2. Burn the paper in a ritual fire.
3. As you burn the paper, visualize all of the negative energy from the old year being consumed by the fire and transformed into light and warmth.
4. Feel yourself becoming lighter and more free as you let go of the negativity from the past year and share the positivity of the ritual with all living beings.
Performing this simple ritual can help you to start the New Year with a clean slate, and it can set the tone for a happy, positive year ahead.
May you and all beings be well.
