The Mikveh

Last night my sweet love and I shared in a wonderful symbol of cleansing and dedication. I immersed myself into hot water with candles burning, the cd player playing some soft music and a bible laying close by.

 
My dh sat near me and read Psalm 128. He then laid his hands upon my womb and prayed a prayer of dedication. My womb given and dedicated to Father..to life..He is the giver.

This ceremony we did together is called a Mikveh.  A Mikveh is: a complete immersion into water; a cleansing...The term Mikveh in Hebrew literally means any gathering of waters. 


  There are many reasons to perform a Mikveh,  a few being:

 If a woman has a monthly period.


we are to immerse ourselves whenever we profess a life-changing commitment. 

 we are to immerse ourselves whenever we receive special spiritual revelation. 

 we are to immerse ourselves as an act of thanksgiving.   

Psalm 128 which my dh read over me during my mikveh..

Psalm 128

A Song of Ascents.

 ^1[a]BLESSED (HAPPY, fortunate, to be envied) is everyone who fears, reveres, and worships the Lord, who walks in His ways and lives according to His commandments.

    ²For you shall eat [the fruit] of the labor of your hands; happy (blessed, fortunate, enviable) shall you be, and it shall be well with you.

    ³Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of your house; your children shall be like olive plants round about your table.

    ⁴Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord.

    ⁵May the Lord bless you out of Zion [His sanctuary], and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;

    ⁶Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
