Spell of protection before going to the clinic

Be with me as I remember the sovereignty and wholeness of my body.

You can light a candle to cast this spell, or lay hands on your heart and your belly. Move however you are led to. If someone is there with you, they could help you cast this spell by speaking it with you. 

 

Calling on the grandmothers, great-grandmothers, ancient ones and nearby kin who have walked this path before me

 

Calling on the wisdom and balance of the Earth, home to birth, death, emergence, growth, disintegration, renewal, grief, and joy, all

 

Calling on my own strong spine and my own soft heart, my own holy sovereignty and my own tenderness

 

Wrap me now in a warm blanket of safety and assurance 

 

Of ancestral support

 

Of step by step

 

Of breath by breath

 

Help me feel the sacredness of this choice, the humanness of it

 

Help me trust all the emotions that may be present and may emerge, that they may guide me to my healing 

 

Bless the hands and hearts of the nurses, doctors, and healers who will be with me today and in the days to come

 

If I encounter anyone who would block my way, wrap a golden shield of energetic protection around me and allow me to pass with my heart unscathed

 

Be with me as I remember the sovereignty and wholeness of my body

 

Breathe with me and let me be filled with the assurance that I am not alone, that so many walk alongside me, hand in hand, backwards and forwards, through the centuries and into the future, that there are those who even today will go to the clinic at the same time as me and make the same complicated, holy choice

 

Help me, today, to trust the process

 

To know that there is nowhere I can go that God is not

 

To remember that I am never alone

 

May it be so.
