Burning Papers Ritual
Burning is a time-honored technique of transforming energy. When a substance burns, it produces heat, smoke, and flame, and this energy is released into the atmosphere. A burning ritual is a symbolic manner of letting go of one's previous wrongdoing, failures and restarting one's life. The use of Burning Papers has been a part of folk Taoist and Feng Shui rituals for thousands of years. These ceremonies were intended to pass on messages and offer assistance to the spirit world in exchange for blessings. Burning papers come in a variety of sizes and are decorate printed. They're vividly coloured and printed with particular spiritual symbols.
These paper can be found in regions where there are a lot of Chinese people or ordered through the mail.
Different types of paper are used for different purposes. Some are printed with graphics to ensure that they last a long time. Some are burned for prosperity because they resemble money. Others ensure fertility and/or excellent health. Some are designed to transport our prayers to the spirit world and are formed like boats.
The "Wish Fulfillment" package is one of them. It's a bundle of colorful printed papers wrapped around a picture of Taoism's three immortals.
The three figures represent the three basic ambitions of common people: Fu (money), Lu (status), and Shou (prosperity) (longevity).
Lu dresses a high official's flying headdress and strapped gown and applies a jade rod, indicating ministerial position.
Fu, standing on the right, carries a cornucopia but dresses in a more basic costume befitting a shopkeeper.
Shou, on the left, is well-known by a bald skull, a peachwood staff, a peach, a crane, and a marked deer lie up beside him, all of which are secret message of longevity.
These particular Burning papers are burned in order to grant us all of our heartfelt earthly desires. The Burning Paper ceremonies are centuries old and are carried out at any moment you move from place to place.
The Burning Paper ceremonies date back thousands of years and are carried out anytime you relocate, on specific ceremonial days (such as New Year's Day), or in times of poor luck or difficulties.
Here's a simple Burning Paper ceremony that can be used to solve any problem, mainly financial or relationship issues:
1. Go to your back yard or balcony, if a fireplace or a wood stove isn't available, use one. Use a fire-resistant container or receptacle, and have a cover nearby in case the flames go out of control.
2. Light the candles first, then the incense. Use an apple or orange to hold incense if you don't have an incense burner.
3. Request that spirits accept the incense offering and come to the light of your candles.
4. To improve your riches, recite the name of your business or work and ask for support from the spiritual sphere. If you're having relationship issues, seek spiritual guidance to clear up any confusion and establish healthy relationships.
While holding hands in prayer, repeat a prayer of your choice nine times.
Visualize money streaming into your life, as well as healthy, loving, and powerful relationships.
5. One or the other at a time or in small groups burns all of the papers from the packet.
6. Carry out this ritual throughout the day. It is especially auspicious between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. but if you can’t make it, it can be complete at any time during the day, the most important is our intention.
