You may have a Christening and Name Giving Ceremony on the same day!
For those Parents who are divided on their religious / non-religious beliefs, this is a perfect and common solution appeasing both parents(and usually Grand-Parents!). First you have the Christening or religious ceremony, and then, it is usual to perform the Name Giving Ceremony at the celebration party which is held afterwards. I have found these combinations to be a great success! Name Giving Ceremonies have happened for all time, in all cultures, all over the Globe. It defines the special unique individual which is being embraced and accepted into the circle of life by the parents, family, and wider community.
A name is a highly significant, super personal and treasured identity for your whole being. It is what creates your uniqueness in the world and sets you apart from all others. A lot of power is within a name.
babies - older children - adopted children - half brothers/sisters - adults -
Name Giving Ceremonies are traditionally used for babies. Its a time for the parents to declare their commitment to their child (or children) before all others present. Its a time to recognise the Guardians of the child and hear their declarations of love and protection over the child also. Its a bonding of all witnesses to unify, by guiding, loving, encouraging, supporting and understanding the child throughout all of its living days.
Naming Giving Ceremonies are held for all different reasons within the community, they are not exclusive to babies. Older children have the opportunity to build their self esteem by recognising their worth and importance to the future of our world. It affirms their identity and unifies them with their family.
Half brothers and sisters can unite, adopted children can feel a true bond with their loved ones and be openly welcomed into their new or blended family.
Some adults hold name Giving Ceremonies when they have outgrown their birth names, or are adding another name to represent a chapter in their life. It adds an independent sense of identity through choosing their own name which has even more personal significance for them.
Also some adults, perhaps after the dissolution of a marriage prefer to reclaim their birth name. This is a perfect way to re-align yourself and cleanse yourself of the past - its also extremely empowering
Businesses may want to launch a new business or change an existing business name and this is also a very intimate, unique, but mostly memorable way of affirming this with their clients.
Commitment Ceremonies are not legally binding in nature such as a wedding is.
It is an excellent way to share your love for each other before friends and family,
without being legally bound to each other.
They are a simple way to show each other your level of commitment, and to openly declare your expectations and love. They represent a future together truthfully and openly, and can be very similar to a wedding ceremony in structure.
Everyone dreams of their home to be filled with life and love; to be full of positive energy.
Perhaps it has taken many sacrifices financially and personally to achieve your home as it is now, and that is well worth celebrating with a Home Blessing Ceremony.
Many family members and friends may have invested a lot of time and effort into supporting you in creating such a wholesome home and this Home Blessing Ceremony is a fantastic original way of recognising all who took part and thanking them deeply for their help.
Your appreciation is shown to those special ones who were with you for the whole journey before all of your friends and family. It is also a spiritual way of filling the home with peace and love, opening it up to positive influence and a great new base for starting a fresh life.
These Home Blessing Ceremonies are also a successful way of banishing old energies from the house, any negativity or past tenants. This is the most common reason for a home Blessing Ceremony. They are very effective and really help to re-align all who live there. I have never failed to achieve the desired outcome.
A loved one has passed and a branch on the family tree is at its end. But the many seasons past have bore fruit and blossomed, and has flourished rich in experience.
Every person who has ever lived on the earth has changed the lives of others and contributed to the rich kaleidoscope of our world. Through telling their stories, we commemorate their gifts to us and rejoice in the memories they have kindly bestowed upon us.
Not in all circumstances, but I believe it is healthy to love, cry and celebrate the life lived. A funeral is not always only a time to be solemn and sad, though this is of course appropriate. Peacefulness, relief, joy and smiles are also a big part of the flood of emotions felt.
It is the day to respect and honour the life which once lived.
Funeral Services which I conduct reflect the departed in the most truthful, natural way possible - an authentic portrayal is delivered.
It's not just about the day, it's about the whole journey
