Channeled Light Invocations and Rituals
Light invocations allow you to connect into the sacredness of your being. They invoke the presence of Spirit through incantation for aid, protection, or inspiration. A sacred ritual facilitates the manifestation of one’s intention through devotional ceremony.
Preparing a Sacred Altar
Space has power. It either resonates with you, or it doesn’t. Like everything in life, the spaces around us are imbued with energy. Your altar is a sacred space; an outward expression of your inner feelings, thoughts, and beliefs.
Have you ever walked into a room of people and felt the energy to be heavy, stressful or suffocating? In contrast, you might have walked into a temple or religious chapel and felt the very air vibrate with hope, praise or reverence.
Intuitively we sense that everything is energy, and everything vibrates at a certain frequency. While some vibrations are heavy and dense, other vibrations are light and airy. And even while we may not be consciously aware of it, the energy around us impacts us subtly on a physical, mental, emotional and etheric level.
Space either supports and empowers you, or it undermines and drains your energy. In other words, if the energy of a place supports the idea of sacredness, the person in that room will find it much easier to resonate with their own sacredness. Knowing this, it is easy to see why creating your own sacred space is important.
Sacred spaces make us feel comfortable, welcomed, supported and loved. Sacred spaces are also vital containers of positive intention and action.
If you would like to establish a regular spiritual practice and create your own special sacred space, the best way to start is to create an altar.
This guide will provide you with simple but useful instructions on how to build your own altar for meditation, inner work or general spiritual practice. You are free to follow it closely or pick and choose what information you need the most.
What is an Altar?
An altar is any structure on which spiritual/religious offerings, prayers, or rituals are made. The root of the word altar means “high place” which reflects how symbolically sacred and important it is in spiritual practice. Altars can be constructed of man-made or natural materials and they exist in almost every religion and culture.
In the spiritual, esoteric, and metaphysical sense, altars can be used for meditation, ritual, prayer, reflection, gratitude, or any other form of inner work. The spiritual altar can be small or large, fancy or minimalistic, traditional or non-traditional. The flavor, look and feel of your altar will depend on you and your own tastes and preferences. Most importantly, it’s essential that your altar looks and feels authentic to your unique needs.
No matter what particular flavor or style of spirituality you’re attracted to, creating an altar will provide a powerful focal point for your energy.
Benefits of creating an altar include:
- Having a physical expression of your commitment, personal goal or desire
- Having a symbolic collection/meeting place of tools to enhance your spiritual practice
- Enjoying a sacred space dedicated to your spirituality
- Making your deepest spiritual needs a physical and actualized part of your life
- Gaining a ‘spiritual center’ in your life that you can return back to each and every day
- a source of positive energy that fills your home
- Feeling a sense of empowerment through self-expression (i.e. building and maintaining an altar)
Step 1. Choose a place that looks or feels “right”
If you have a spare room, you might like to dedicate it to building a sacred altar. But not all of us have that luxury. If you have very little space in your house, you might like to consider a corner or quiet place that will give you privacy. I’ve seen beautiful altars in bedrooms, lounge rooms, offices, and even closets. When looking for a place, ask yourself the following questions:
- Does this place look appropriate?
- Does this place feel “right”?
- Do I have privacy here?
- Is this place quiet?
- Is the energy hurried, stressed or heavy here?
- Can I build an altar here without disrupting or inconveniencing anyone else?
The ideal place in your house will be “out of the way,” quiet and relaxed. It doesn’t need to be very large. In fact, due to space restrictions or simple preference you might like to build a “tiny” altar. Tiny altars fit within the dimensions of a dinner plate. Do whatever feels the most comfortable for your needs and your current life context.
Step 2. Cleanse the space
The act of emptying and cleansing space has been practiced by shamans for thousands of years.
Why not follow in the steps of these shamans and cleanse any energetic debris from the room until it looks/feels “right” to you? Make sure you hold the intent of, “I am cleansing this space” in mind as you carry out this process. An energetically clean space should feel clear, light and friendly.
To energetically cleanse the space, you could use sound (e.g. clapping your hands or using a singing bowl), scent (e.g. burning incense or a smudge stick), light (e.g. lighting a candle or opening the windows and letting the sunshine in), visualization, or even a simple dust and sweep of the room.
If the surrounding space feels energetically ungrounded to you, you may like to use a drum or an earthy stone such as black tourmaline to ground the energy.
Step 3. Begin to gather objects that are meaningful to you
When it comes to building an altar, there really are no rules. The practice is so personal, that it is imperative to listen to your heart.
However, as a general guide, here are some things people tend to include on their altars:
- Objects that represent one’s spirit guides
- Objects that represent one’s primarily revered spiritual teacher
- Objects that reflect yin/yang, light/dark, masculine/feminine
- Objects that represent the body, mind, heart, soul, and spirit
- Objects that represent the elements of fire, water, earth, air, and ether
- Objects that represent qualities that one most wishes to embody (e.g. freedom, love)
- Objects that represent one’s inner child
- Objects that represent the cycle of life, death, and transformation
- Objects that amplify energy (e.g. crystals, chimes) – Any other objects that are inspiring, powerful or helpful
More specifically, objects you may wish to put on your altar could include:
- candles
- statues
- feathers
- stones
- crystals
- decorative stands
- inspiring quotes
- a journal
- written notes
- prayer books
- rosary beads
- alive plants
- water
- shells
- flower petals
- symbols
- sand
- salt
- photos
- oracle or tarot cards
- essential oils
Really, you can include on your altar anything you wish. Just make sure you design it the way you would like it, not the way you think it “should” look.When choosing objects for your sacred space, keep in mind the following questions:
- What will my altar be used for and what is its purpose?
- What do I want to reflect or express through the altar?
- Does my altar have a theme, or is it spontaneous?
Your answers to the questions above will help you decide what objects to choose.
Step 4. Arrange your altar
Once you have found your sacred space, cleansed it, and got an idea of what objects to include, you’ll need to arrange your altar.
You are free to arrange your altar in any way you wish, but ideally, try to arrange it in a symmetrical way.
Why is it best to arrange an altar symmetrically? Symmetry reflects the energy of balance and wholeness— something you definitely want to welcome into your sacred space. If your altar is cluttered and imbalanced, you might find it distracting or hard to work with.
Think of a mandala: the left and right side are both harmonious mirror images of each other. While your altar doesn’t need to be this precise, you can use the image of a mandala to help you out.
Depending on your purpose, your altar might benefit from having a central piece, or focal point. The focal point of your altar is right in the middle and it’s a place where your eyes most comfortably settle. Your focal point could be anything: a statue of a beloved deity or spirit animal, a vase of fresh flowers, a photo of an enlightened being, or even a large burning candle. It’s up to you!
Step 5. Maintain your altar
Keeping your altar clean from cobwebs, dust, and other residue is important: it shows respect for your practice. After all, it is supposed to be your sacred space. Do this as regularly as you feel necessary.
Finally, remember that your altar doesn’t always need to stay the same! You are free to change it, adjust it, add to it, or take away from it whenever you choose. As your inner work develops, you might find that certain items on your altar are no longer relevant or necessary. In the same manner, you might begin to feel as though something is “lacking” from your altar and so will need to adjust it likewise.
As always, allow your altar to be a physical place in which you can sit quietly, reflect, be still, commune with Spirit, thank your guides, show gratitude, and whatever other deep needs you have. Your sacred space is yours to build, alter, nourish and cherish every day. It is one of the most precious gifts you can give to yourself!
Remember, your altar is your spiritual workplace; your physical space of power. You don’t need to spend a lot of money to create an altar that is significant to you — look around your own home, in the natural world around you, or in a local thrift store to find special and meaningful objects. And finally, take care of it, nurture it, and spend regular time with it. Your altar is completely yours to shape, build, and transform.

Sacred Sage Smudging Clearing the Energetic Body
Burning sage is one of the oldest and purest methods of cleansing. The practice dates back to prehistoric times as having been used in every corner of the world by our ancestors.
Sage clears bacteria in the air. Sage smoke offers rapid delivery to the brain and efficient absorption to the body. Scientists have observed that sage can clear up to 94 percent of airborne bacteria in a space and disinfect the air. When sage is burned, it releases negative ions, which is linked to putting people into a positive mood. The Latin word for sage salvia stems form the word heal. Other qualities believed to be associated with sage when burned are giving wisdom, clarity, and increasing spiritual awareness.
Traditionally, people use an abalone shell to hold the sage in and then use a feather to fan and spread the smoke around the space when burning sage.
Before you light up, remember to open a door or window as the unwanted energy you are trying to clear must have a pathway to get out. Hold the sage at a 45-degree angle, light the sage, let it burn for about 20 seconds and then gently blow out the flame so that you see orange embers on one end.
If the sage bundle was packed too tight when made, then the oxygen can’t get in properly and the sage won’t stay lit. Loosen the ribbon around the sage and take the tip you are lighting and smash it on to a surface to give it a little breathing room. This helps to keep your sage smoking. If you also start to see the glow of the embers fading you can gently blow on the end that is lit up and remember to do this gently.
Setting Intention
What to say if you want to invite love into your home.
I open this space to divine love, may all the energy that flows through here benefit the heart space. May it hold compassion, nurturance, forgiveness, and truth.
What to say if you want to remove negativity from a home.
I command any negativity, any low vibrational energy, and non-benevolent beings within this space to leave and go to the light. You are not welcome here. I command you to leave and go to the light.
Clearing Your Body
Smudging is not only for spaces; it’s also for clearing your body, mind, and spirit of any negativity, stagnation, or energetic disturbances within or surrounding you. As part of the ritual, make sure to invite the sacred smoke around your body from head to toe and front to back to help set your intentions before smudging your space.
A Smudging Prayer
May your hands be cleansed, that they create beautiful things.
May your feet be cleansed, that they might take you where you most need to be.
May your heart be cleansed, that you might hear its messages clearly.
May your throat be cleansed, that you might speak rightly when words are needed.
May your eyes be cleansed, that you might see the signs and wonders of the world.
May this person and space be washed clean by the smoke of these fragrant plants.
And may that same smoke carry our prayers, spiraling, to the heavens.

Meditation Ritual: Solar Plexus Visualization Aligning the Third Chakra
Preparing for Meditation:
Light a sage smudge stick, close your eyes and allow the sage to begin to gently smoke as you encircle it around your crown, gently running it up and down your body’s center arc line.
Close your eyes and set the intention to allow your yourself to clear any energetic blockages and release any karmic threads that are lying dormant within your subconscious auric field.
If it is available, you may want to light a white pillar candle and place a clear quartz and citrine crystal in your scared space to invoke the frequency of abundance and empowered Creator flow.
The Meditation:
Our energetic body is comprised of seven chakras or wheels of energy. The Chakra system begins at the base of our pelvis and continues through the body to the crown of the head. The third chakra is the solar plexus or Manipura chakra and relates to the energy of Aries.
This chakra sits at the bottom of the rib cage and relates to our willpower, how we assert ourselves, and our internal fire. When our third chakra is blocked, we feel disempowered, unable to make decisions, follow through with them, and ultimately give our power away.
We can also feel frustrated with ourselves, suffer from low self- esteem, and avoid taking action towards our souls’ purpose. When balanced, though, this chakra helps us trust ourselves, empowers us to take action while not wavering in our decisions, and allows us to appreciate other people’s strengths.
Work with the third chakra to bring it balance, strengthen it, and allow it to help align you with your soul’s path.
The following is a visualization meditation to help align and recharge your third chakra. Stand outside under the light of the Sun with your bare feet planted firmly on the Earth. Close your eyes and tilt your face towards the Sun, feeling its radiance shining down on you.
Reach your arms towards the sky, as if to touch the Sun, and feel its light coming down through your arms towards your heart. Pause here for a moment feeling each fingertip light up with the energy of the Sun. Slowly lower your hands to your solar plexus right below your rib cage with your fingers tips covering the space between the ribs.
Take a deep inhale into this area, seeing it fill with yellow, golden light. Take five deep breaths like this, seeing an expanding ball of light at the base of your ribcage.
Notice any tightness here and allow it to relax. Also, notice any feelings or visions that arise while breathing into this area. What is this area holding? Does it feel balanced? Does it feel free or restricted? What is it telling you about your will power?
Release your hands down to your sides, but stay focused on the ball of yellow light at your solar plexus. Begin to see it slowly rotating clockwise. Continue to see the ball of light spinning for the next five breaths. When chakras are balanced and free of restriction, they spin evenly and smoothly. As you see your chakra turning, also visualize it radiating outward into the world. See it as your own personal Sun, shining your brilliance. Feel the Sun above you reflected in your solar plexus and feel your power to create the life of your soul’s purpose. As you walk through the rest of your day, feel this area leading and empowering you.

The Eye of God—The Arcturians via Dana Livoti
The Eye of God
The upheaval of emotions are creating space for the light of consciousness to have space to move with freedom, within and through your physical forms. The melding with your ethereal self is wanting to take the lead now into its new becoming.
There are no constraints that are binding you into the old paradigm. We offer you to let loose of the reins. There is no ship to guide, there is no path to be forged, there is no journey that necessitates planning.
The allowance, the trust, the fluidity, of ones light will lead you, will guide you, will dance with you, will cry, sing and soar with you. You see, it is in the New Light that you see all perspectives from the vantage point of the witness observing experience.
All experiences are deemed perfect through the eyes of God. This is the space where you come to know your divinity, your fluidity, as light incarnate housing a physical vessel. Your vessel is your temple; the space where you see feel and “become” experience to be savored, to be explored. The reins are no longer tense and taut, they are loose, flexible, and in the allowance to be lead by the frequency of your heart.
Feel into this portal Dear Ones, feel the nurturing caress of your angels easing you through this transition. This transition need not be forced, need not be strained, need not be looked upon as a hardship to endure.
See from the vantage point of the witness, the Eye of God peering into this reality, then pause,
and come to know that the Eye of God,
is You,
Choosing.
Blessed are You, Dear Brings of Light.
Blessed are You.
It is We the Arcturians in Servitude.
Shift in Physicality—Arcturians via Dana Livoti
Shift in Physicality
The understanding that is before you is the understanding within the space of the trueness of your internal navigation point, the space of this understanding lies within the radius of your heart center. The radius of your heart is wanting you to feel its gravitational pull inward, in order for you to feel, see and become aware of its outer manifestations, one must be in the allowance, the awareness, the releasing, surrendering, into a new state of being, a new becoming of sorts.
It is here that we wish to speak with you if we may. The dietary constructs are shifting now at a rapid pace. Beings who have heeded the calling to awaken are undergoing massive reprogramming within their solar plexus. This is part and parcel due to the energetic upgrades, transmissions that are being infused through ones ethereal umbilical cord. It is here that the new vibrational frequencies of higher consciousness, of unpresidential light will begin to transmit trough this portal, this “umbilical cord”.
So it is to say, that in this awareness one must come to a point in her evolution to see, feel, and become that of what it is that her higher trajectory is urging her feel into. The point in time now that we wish to make most certain is the understanding of ones physicality as you have become accustomed to, and what it is morphing into now.
It is to say that your human forms are morphing into the space of the hybrid, the hybrid human that is necessitating its vessel to house more light. In order for your human form to house more light one must become aware of the density that their physical form holds.
It is time now that beings take heed into the calling to shift their vitality, their inner vitality to consuming nutrients that support this shift. We are here, your angles your team, your guides, supporting you through this transitional time.
This is a time where your physical body is shifting in the time space reality of the new constructs that are here and available. The time is now Beloveds, take heed in nourishing you bodies to be an energetic match to the wholeness of your consciousness.
Now we wish to speak to you of the changes, the discomforts that your physical forms may be experiencing. As one makes a conscious contract with their higher trajectory, the higher timelines, one’s guides and angels soar down to encircle the being in a healing halo of reconfiguration; a halo where the being will begin its transformation here on Earth with the assistance of their team of Light.
We wish to make clear that the pains and discomforts are the adjustment of water, fluids, and density being redistributed within the body. These densities will begin to find balance and harmony within the cells as one is moving trough their process of detoxification.
This is a grand shift for those who are wanting to transition into living within their energetic light forms, the body that you once knew will begin to transform and shape shift. Ones skin will become more luminescent and ones physical form will be more streamlined, light and flexible. These are the energetic upgrades that are available to you All at this time.
This however, is not the path for all; however, it is indeed the path for the seeded ones. Allow your being to replenish, rebalance, and regenerate. The process that lies before you is simple in nature.
It is providing your physical forms the nutrients that are derived from our Mother Gaia. Pure, simple, whole, and clean… pure, simple, whole, and clean.
This is the new foundation for one’s hybrid form; the simplicity of complex nutrients when ingested will assist the body in repairing the cellular structure, reigniting the dormant DNA, and raising ones frequency into the higher realms of consciousness whilst inhabiting a physical form.
It is to say Dear Ones, that we are traveling full circle into the remembering of the ancient times in Lemuria and Atlantis where our physical bodies are light, are human, are whole, are pure.
This is the space that we are traversing again at this time on Mother Gaia. The fifth dimensional frequencies are here and alive. It is however, a conscious choice to step into this reality as creator beings of eternal light. The time is always now, the vantage point from where we are sat is the vantage point of the One Universal Light; seeing, feeling, and knowing that all choice points, all paths, lead home.
It is within this knowing that there is indeed a collective of beings here, now, that are choosing to make this transition within their light bodies to reconnect to the essence of purity and wholeness within human form. This is the shift that many are feeling at this time. This is the point in time where beings are awakening into their divine contracts and soul blueprints to awaken into the remembering of their beingness housing the purity of light within physical form.
It is here, the portals are open and we are surrounding you in a halo of healing nurturing light. Take heed of the signposts of discomfort within your physical forms. They are your beacon to see the wholeness, the wellness, the vitality of your being living in the freshness, the lightness, the aliveness of Earth anew. Your physical bodies are yearning to transcend here, now.
It is We the Arcturians,
in service, in light.
Blessed are you Dear Ones,
Blessed are you.
