The Libra Scales Harmony Ceremony is an evocative ritual that employs the symbolism of scales to represent the quest for equilibrium, fairness, and justice in one's life or in specific circumstances.
This ceremony encourages you to physically manifest the concept of balance through the creation of a small scale, using natural materials to emphasise connection with the earth and its inherent balance.
By placing a stone on one side to symbolise the weight of injustice or imbalance and an offering of cleansing or remembering herbs on the other, you engage in a powerful meditation focused on achieving harmony.
This act serves as a profound visual and energetic representation of the restoration of balance and the alignment of energies towards justice and peace.

Instructions
1. Crafting the Scales
Begin by constructing a simple scale using your natural materials.
Balance is key, so take the time to ensure that your scale is as even as possible, reflecting the physical manifestation of harmony.
2. Preparing the Scale
On one side of the scale, place the stone you've chosen to represent the imbalance or injustice.
Feel the weight of this issue as you place the stone, acknowledging its impact.
3. Adding the Herbal Offering
On the opposite side of the scale, place your chosen herbs.
As you lay them down, focus on their properties—sage for cleansing away negativity, rosemary for protection and remembrance.
Let these herbs symbolise the positive forces and energies you wish to bring into balance with the existing challenges.
4. Meditation on Balance
Sit comfortably before your scale, focusing on the visual representation of imbalance versus healing and protection.
Meditate on the scales gradually coming into balance, envisioning the resolution of the issues represented by the stone through the positive energies of the herbs. Visualise harmony being restored in your life or situation.
5. Closing the Ceremony
Once you feel a sense of balance has been achieved in your meditation, give thanks for the insights and energies you've received.
If possible, leave your scale in place as a reminder of your intention for balance, or carefully dismantle it, returning the materials to nature with gratitude.
