Are you looking to try and do something specific? I can think of a few ideas but it depends on what you are trying to do with the spell. So it would help me help you a bit more if I knew about any specific need or desire (money, health, protection, ect).

As in stress relief? As in meditative work? What do you mean by that.

I'm gonna guess stress relief stuff. I actually do a water based stress relief thing I think would work.

Adapted to pull the Ceremonial elements out...

Draw a bath for yourself, including whatever makes you relax, then prepare yourself as you would for ritual. In your bathroom, invoke the element of water, asking for peace and relaxation, but do NOT cast circle, as it will trap the negative energies in with you. You can write your own invocation of course, or use something like:

"Undines and spirits of the deep, I ask for peace and stillness. Spirits of the rushing river, I ask that you wash away my stress. Spirits of the waters, Help me to find my center, and cleanse me of negativity."

Relax in your bath, perhaps doing some form of relaxation meditation (Donald Kraig has a decent one in Modern Magic I'm too lazy to dig up right now).
When you're done, let the water out of the tub, as you do, saying
"As the water flows from this vessel, so do my cares flow from me"
Stay in the tub while the water drains, and when you're ready, rejoin the world

Thank you for this. I do not have a bath tub so will a shower work just as well? I usually visualize negative energy going down the drain...

And yes I meant to relieve stress

And yes I meant to relieve stress

I just wanted to be as clear as possible. With spell work the more specific one is the the actual situation the better the results can be. Now that I have an idea of what you are thinking of I have a few ideas for you. Its actually 4 spells that can be performed as one. Though I personally would do each spell on a different day. 4 spells 4 elements. I'll post them each in separate posts to not make this so long and so you can see each spell individually.

Spell 1-Fire

Materials: a candle, a fire safe container to collect ash and burn paper in, paper, and a pen

Spell:

Take the paper and write on it as many details as you can about the stresses you have going on in your life that you want to be gone. Push as much of the stress energy you can into writing down the stressors or stressful situation in your life.

When the paper is full or you have written out everything you can light you candle. Charge the candle with the power of fire. See the fire burning away everything that does not serve you.

Take the paper and rip it up into small pieces. As you tear the paper throw any more frustration and stress you have into the act. Grab the fire safe container. Light each piece of paper. As the fire burns chant something along the lines of "Fire burn away all that does not serve me on this day". Repeat the chant as long as each peice of paper burns. See the fire burning away each issue.

Once all the paper is burned and the ash collected throw it on the ground outside and stamp on it. As you stamp the ashes into the ground state "Stressors no longer control me" Release any final stressful energy into the ground with that stomping. The forces the stress to be under your feet no longer being what controls you.

Spell 2-water

Materials: Soap, water, shampoo

Get into the shower or bath. Wash yourself once normally. Let the heat of the bathwater or shower relax you. This first wash is to remove any physical dirt from the day (sweat, dust, etc). It also mentally prepares you for the second washing which while physically cleaning you is also spiritually cleaning you.

As you relax start to feel all the stresses of your life be washed away. See them draining into the drain this can be as black energy or gray energy or however you see stress energy manifesting, just let it be washed down the drain.

Now begin washing yourself again. This time be very slow and full of intent. As you wash your body see the gray black of stress being removes and a white and free energetic field being replaced. As you visualize and wash chant:

"water water wash away, water water cleanse today".

Repeat the chant over and over while the shower continues. When you have washed yourself completely get out of the shower and dry off. See yourself radiating white light energy and being relaxed. Now take some time to read or do something that you find soothing.

You got some great ideas above.

You can find little ways to bring the elements into a cleansing bath/shower

Water - from the shower
Earth - use a body mud mask before going in shower, or use a salt scrub to represent earth
Fire - have candles lit

Spell 3- Air (two variations one burning and the other not)

Materials- paper, pen, fire safe container & be outside, wind

Spell:

On the paper write out everything you are stressed over. Get into as much detail as possible. Take the paper and write on it as many details as you can about the stresses you have going on in your life that you want to be gone. Push as much of the stress energy you can into writing down the stressors or stressful situation in your life.

(variation one)

Rip apart the paper. Light the paper on fire. See the fire burning away the problem. When all the paper is burned take the ashes and throw it into the wind. Chant

"Winds blow away all that does not serve me on this day"

Throw the ashes into the wind. Watch the wind carry away the ash. The winds are blowing away all your stressors. You are now stress free.

(variation 2)

Rip apart the paper. Throw each piece into the air on a windy day.

As you toss each paper into the wind chant

"Winds of change come to me blow this stress away from me"

Watch the wind carry away the paper. Know that as each paper gets carried away your stress is released to the winds.

Spell 4-Earth

Materials:

Sand box or a place where you can work with a lot of dirt, a stick, you

Spell:

In the dirt with the stick write one thing you are stressed about. As you write that item put all your emotions, thoughts, and feelings into that word.

Take your hand and cover it back up ferociously. You are burying the stress in the earth. As the earth covers that item state:

"To the earth my stress ground, by your force I'm no longer bound".

See the chains of that stress being released from your body as you cover the word. Stomp on it,

Repeat the above action for each individual stress you have.

When you are done snap the stick in half and burry it. You have thrown into it stress. When it breaks at the end you are finally fully released of stress.

Earth - use a body mud mask before going in shower, or use a salt scrub to represent earth
Fire - have candles lit

The basis of the spells I just wrote down can be also worked so that there is each element present in them. The candle spell with the paper has smoke (air) the candle( fire), the ash (earth). Water could be added by throwing the ash into a river or body of water to take away the stress.

These are very helpful, thank you. Best of luck.
